    Spot reducing? Nope. It is a myth. "Spot reduction" is physiologically impossible.
    Doesn't work. Want to spot reduce? Lipo / Reduction / Lift etc.

    Your body loses weight where it feels it needs to.

    I think I would weep if I lost weight in my boobs. My husband would throw a tantrum. It would not be a good day in our house.

    Nope I started my journey at a DD and they are still a DD, I have only lost 11lbs so far but I have that type of boobies that they will not go down. :(

    Some of us are just meant to have boobs. When I was 18 I was teeny tiny and in great shape, wore like a size 0-2, and still had a 34D rack. It's just in my genes. I'd be a little happier about them if they were still perky like they were when I was 18, but I've got great bras and I gotta embrace the boobs.

    That said, when I'm at my goal weight AND done having children, I absolutely plan to have them reconstructed since they'll probably be kinda sad at that point.

    I have lost a little of mine, but there is still a lot left. I would just be happy with making them perkier....but I don't think that is possible.
  • I lost 25 pounds last semester, and barely went from a DD to a D. I've lost 8 pounds this semester....they're the same size. They've always been bigger even when I was just a size 6 though, so I may have no hope :( too bad I can't give half of mine to someone who lost too much LOL

    Can anyone tell me how I could possible inspire my boobs to deflate a little?

    lmao@deflate tho..lmfao
  • It really has a lot to do with genetics unfortunately... Everyone carries there weight differently and although you can't target fat loss, fat loss definitely happens differently for every one. My degree is in sports medicine (still working on it) and I'm reminded daily in my schooling that every person is different, causing different results. Your boobs will decrease with time since boobs are infact fatty tissue, it's just a matter of when. Good luck!!

    Running..
    A couple of years ago all I did was run and my goodness my poor tatas deflated to an B cup.
    NOW they are a D cup and I'm only 5 lbs heavier than I was back then!!

    My boobs are not related to weight gain or loss. I got them honestly, through genetics. They will never leave me. And I will never ask them to. :o)
    If you really don't like them get a reduction.

    This is kinda along the same lines as the "thigh gap" issue. Some people get it, some don't. Instead of picking apart every aspect of your body, be happy with the progress you've made. (This is me, the pot, calling the kettle black. I realize as women, we are never 100% happy with what we see in the mirror. I want to change this in myself as well.)

    I'm having the same problem as you. I don't think we can spot reduce to be honest. I have lost 40 pounds and my breasts went from a DDD to a DD. I want to lose another 15 so I hope when I get closer to my goal they will reduce. Are you at your goal weight? If not you may some when you get there.
  • Well I had breast cancer and had to have a reduction and reconstruction. Now my boobs are small and perky. I need to lose my belly so you can see my shape. Be careful what you wish for.

    I swear if I don't lose some boobage, I will look like a barbie when I hit my goal weight. I have lost 20lbs already and they haven't started to even think about getting smaller. Every where else is starting to but my boobs. So I hope they start to go down in size before I hit my goal weight. If not, I will be getting a reduction.

    Chest exercises will not make them smaller. All that does is build up the muscle underneath, perhaps making them stand out even more / more perky looking. That was the case for me anyway, and it kinda makes sense.

    What will make them smaller is general all over fat loss - a calorie deficit. Whether you lose weight mainly from your boobs or hardly any from there is all unique to you. In your situation I'd just say be patient and they "should" get smaller over time, even if it's the last place you lose fat from.
