    Upper body strength training - push ups, arm presses, bicep curls, etc. it'll help firm up those loose areas.

    I second chest flys. This is what my old personal trainer and my current exercise program recommend. It won't create a miracle but it will add some natural lift. But honestly, as we age, we ladies who are well endowed tend to droop and sag more. At some point, the only way to fix it is to have surgery.

    Exercise will help the area and give you some support. But the most support is going to come from a good underwire!

    Pectoral flies and bench press. My boobs look fantastic the day after I do these. And I have noticed they have been getting a lift too.

    Sure you can perk up the muscles UNDER your boobs, but the actually boob will remain floppy and saggy. I've breastfed 4 children and gained/lost/gained/lost/gained/lost weight and my boobs are mess. Unless I befriend a plastic surgeon, they will still look the way they do.

    I cope with a fantastic (read: expensive), supportive bra!

    I don't think there's a miracle cure for this!! I have breastfed 3 kids and my boobs have gone all the way from 34g to a 34c a few times...like an op said unless i become friends with a surgeon they are going to stay floppy haha!! The above mentioned exercises will help build muscle underneath, but its not going to do anything miraculous!!

    If they're getting saggy b/c you don't have as much fat filling out the skin anymore, you're kind of stuck with saggy boobsnunless you get a boob job. Invest in some fantastic bras that make you feel sexy. I was up to like a 34H while breastfeeding my last kiddo (was also at my heaviest weight), now I'm back down between a 34D-DD (normal before-pregnancy size, but just a little smaller b/c they used to be a solid overflowing DD) depending on the bra but they don't look like they're that big any more b/c they just hang. It is so, so sad.

    you definitly want to do all the excersizes suggested.,...but it a natural thing thats happening to you...thats alot to lose, give yourself time and stay steady, give your skin time t catch up. theres firming cream stc on the market you might want to try...but if it really bothers you once youve reached your goal weight, make sure u maintain for at least over a year b4 you consider surgery. sometimes that the only way or an even cheaper and less painful solution- some hot push up bras! LOL

    Exercises aimed toward that area aside, it might be a ligament problem. If you've been overweight with large breasts the ligaments in your skin in your breasts might have loosened to the point of no return barring surgery. As a rule of thumb I'd try the exercises first but after time if you're not seeing at least a little less sag then that might be it.

    Don't do anything drastic for at least 6 months. I had the same thing after I lost 35 pounds, but the skin eventually caught up with the weight loss and they looked normal again. It took a while though. I would put lots of moisturizer and take in nutrition that is good for the skin like vitamin E.
