A few months ago, I bought 5 new bras from Nordstrom and Victoria's Secret. Ladies, you know how expensive those bras can get!! Well, i'm losing weight all over, including my chest. so i'm on the last clasp and the cups are a little loose.

I'm sad I'm losing my chest - the only body part I liked when I was bigger - but i'm glad i'm losing weight... so bitter sweet NSV...

    Yay for the weight loss, love!! And I totally understand with the boobs getting smaller.

    When I first started, I was a DD... now my boobs seem to be swimming in bra cups :[

    I can relate! I will be shopping for new bras later tonight, started with a DD and am now possibly going into a C cup :(

    I have the same problem, except I didn't have that much to start with!

    Congrats on the weight loss!

    I seriously wish I had that problem!!! When I started I was technically a 36DDD, and those are hard to find. So I've been wearing 38DD, since that's as big as most non-specialty stores go. Now I'm losing inches around my rib cage (am now a 32), but not cup size. How awkward!!! All my bras move around during the day and its driving me crazy. I wish I could wear sports bras to work until I am at my goal weight! :(

    I was becoming afraid I was going to have to replace my 36C bras with something larger when "my cups runneth over", but i get the girls back under control after losing 11 pounds.

    Oh, that was my FAVORITE part of weight loss! I started at a 44F. When I was down 85 pounds, I was a 36J (my band size shrunk but my actual boobs didn't at all, so the cup size actually went UP). Fortunately, they went down with the final bit of weight loss and I am now quite happy in a 34DD, although I wouldn't complain if they shrunk a bit more and/or regained a bit of their perkiness.

    I've added extra hooks to bras that I really liked but they were too big. Extra hooks are a lot cheaper than a whole new bra. Of course the cup size change is a toughie.

    Man. Could you imagine the shattered men if the weight loss first came from........

    My boobs are the one thing I loved about my overweight body. I went out & bought a new smaller bra just over a week ago & now I'm not filling that one out very well :frown:

    I miss my fat boobs but not the rest of the body that came with them!

    Oh, I so hope I lose a good bit of mine. I am a 42DD, and I hate it! I would love to be about a C cup. Finding clothes to fit right for a 42DD is really difficult. I just hope that I can also strengthen that area so they have some lift and don't just hang there (sorry if that's TMI!!).

    If you exercise your shoulder and chest muscles, you can get some lift for your breasts. I am starting to see that with 30DS. I am hoping to lose a cup size myself. Then, I can hit the sales racks in any store and not have to hunt down one or two stores that actually carry my size. Sorry, TMI.

    haha you guys are funny!!

    i think mine are even more affected bc i nursed my daughter. I started at 40 DD and now my 36D's are big. so we'll see where the girls end up. the hubby and i are going to try for another baby soon, so i'll get a few months of fuller boobies. LOL. after that, well, there's always plastic surgery!

    lol I never wanted huge boobs -was a size 6 but had to buy size 10 shirts due to those obnoxious things. Now.....ugh...its even worse with all of this extra weight. I am hoping they go away to a C now!! at the biggest! I would prefer a small C I think. Ive been a D since I was 14. With this extra weight its a double D. So Im gonna say congrats on your loss! lol

    Definitely looking forward to finding my size for everything, but I agree it's tough to find the right sized bra in regular stores, and then going to plus size stores, the band size is too small. Don't want to spend my rent on getting basic and necessary "support."

    Well I'm like a 40 DDD and I need these big boobies to take a hike! I know that people don't want that part to generally go, but with a smaller frame that I anticipate I will be having, they will look mighty strange. :laugh: I just want to be proportioned and I have a ways to go. Only down 11 lbs in the last 3 weeks but I'm not losing my motivation!! :flowerforyou:

    I lost 20lbs straight from my boobs, and just like you, I had just bought 4 new bras from lane bryant, and now the only bras I can even fit in are sports bras, or I got the genie bras which i love. I feel like I look funny now, still bigger everywhere else except my chest. Not the rest needs to catch up!

    Bittersweet indeed! I've stopped losing belly fat for now, but now I'm losing fat on my rib cage, which makes my chest look smaller than it really is. Unfortunately, I've always been a B cup, even at my heaviest :[
