I had only been measuring tummy and waist since starting diet as that was my problem area where all weight was.

I just had to measure around boobs to see which size I was as size was borderline I thought I'm about 40" and usually get a 42 to give me room to move with clothes been so skinny these days.. anyway I got tape measure out and was shocked to find I was 36" around bust.. had to do it 4 times to check!! ... i've lost 4" off my boobs!

I'm kind of pleased but on other hand I don't want them to shrink too much.. would rather have the extra 4" off my tummy!

How do women keep boobs and still have skinny waists and flat tummy?

    The number is your measurement around the chest isn't it. You WANT that to go down, it's the letter that you don't want shrinking.

    eg somone with a bra size of 42B is fat and relatively flat chested whereas someone with 28GG is going to have trouble staying upright!

    I love it when my boobs shrink. When I first gained back weight from being very underweight I went from a 28AA to a 32C in around 3 months. Horrifying!

    Now I'm a 30DD which I find equally horrifying. I don't want to be flat again but a B would be wonderful.

    lol! probably... I did wonder if post pregnancy workouts would work for a big tummy (even though it wasn't big from just been pregnant)?.. with them focusing on that area to lose tummy after giving birth?

    I can''t remember how to work out the letter.. I usually get sports bra's that you put over head as I struggle with the fastenings

    Boobs are always the first thing to go! I agree, would rather it off the butt or tummy.

    Mine haven't disappeared yet. I'm waiting for it, but I don't think it will happen. Thanks to genetics. As long as they don't sag!

    Your boobs with get smaller because they are made of fat. So sorry love, I know its annoying. I don't know how you feel about plastic surgery but that is one thing that could be a potential solution.

    my wrists were small before and they look even thinner, now boobs are shrinking before tummy finished shrinking (though have lost 13" off tummy and 7 " off waist" but i still need tummy to go down.

    I got some Levi's 30 " waist thinking I'm only an inch off (current waist 31") but they are super skinny and designed to fasten around the hip/tummy area rather than waist... and my tummy is still 35 " so of course they don't meet in the middle to fasten! :sad:

    I saw some GAP jean that say they have a 'medium rise of 8" ' what does that mean? they seem to have changed all the terminology whats the words to look for, for ones that actually fasten around your waist? .. with a bit more space in the tummy? .. maybe I'm resigned to Evans jeans for the rest of my life! . or maternity jeans.. lol! (I'm not even pregnant)

    but I was wondering if exercises meant for getting weight off after pregnancy would also work if tummy was largest area? (but not from pregnancy)

    A B is not flat chested as I am a B. I would rather be thin with a AA then heavy with a C.

    Victoria Secrets!!!! My boobs were the FIRST thing to go, they're still "enough" but they are definitely not what they used to be, thanks to vicki's great push up bra's they still look good :)

    I'm in the same boat...I have lost 4 inches of boob as well, and yes the cup size is decreasing as well, there was much more to hold onto then there is now... :/ The one good thing about being fat...now I'm still fat but boobless.

    You will lose some boob, but probably retain enough to stay in proportion to your thinner self.
