Scared to lose weight because of boob loss!

It happens more dramatically in some people than others. No way to know until you do it. I'm pretty sure most people who complain about it on here aren't wishing they didn't lose the weight if that says anything. It's the only thing I like in my "before" pictures, but I like a lot more in my "after" ones

I have to say, I DID loose some of my boobs! : (. I went from a 38C to a 36B... But in also went from a size 14-16 pant to a size 8-10 from 178 pounds to 146 pounds.... I have to say, I think age is a big part of this. When I was younger and lost weight my boobs seemed less affected. Now I'm in my early 40's and the affects of gravity and weight loss haven't been the kindest to my chest. BUT, I wouldn't go back to my heavier self just for my boobs. I feel better, my self esteem and confidence is so much better, I am stronger and more fit than i think i have ever been. I look younger and more beautiful (so I've been told) and I get compliments every week now... Where as my bigger boobs got me none of that. They were worth the trade off!

Losing boobs sucks but its definitely worth it.

Not everyone will lose a lot of boob, but even if you do, in my very humble opinion:

Healthy and confident girl with B cup > Unhealthy with C cup.

Love and embrace your body and look forward to what it will become as you get healthier and fitter. If you do this, I bet plenty of other will want to 'embrace' it too!

right.

I'm a DD now (157lbs) and at my smallest weight (135lbs) I was still a DD!! You never know where the weight will go from until you try!! Admittedly I was sporting a size F a year ago (at 197lbs) but I had just had a baby.

It never crossed my mind, but I did lose my boobs.

But I look a lot better smaller with my b's than I did fat with dd's.

I'm not sure I will help in this post. I was 279 lbs and lost about 120lbs. Before weight loss I was a 46DDD!! After weight loss I was a 42DDD. I was so angry. My doctor could not believe I lost weight everywhere else but there. Anyways cause a whole slew of problems. Serious backache, headaches, numbness. I was popping pain medication left and right. I could not run. Once I carry a backpack all day at Disneyland (it wasn't that heavy). The next day I paid the price for it. I couldn't move for two days! So after this incident decided to have breast reduction. Thankfully it was covered by insurance and with some red tape to get through the process I finally was brought to a 36c cup and couldn't be more happier. The doctor told me I may lose some of that as I continue to lose weight but I don't care. I never want boobs like that again!

i totally have lost boob.. but honestly, i'd rather have less fat in my body, including in my boobs, and be healthy than to have big boobs.

plus, there are wonderful bras, chicken cutlets, and other things to consider.

I lost about 30 lbs. and I actually went up a cup size because it was around the time I was going on the pill. Maybe that would help? Also depending on how old you are, your boobs may still get bigger. You don't actually stop growing until your mid-20s.

I'm hoping for boob loss on me. lol
Hope this helps...

Will Exercise Make My Breasts Smaller?
by NOEL CHELLIAH on MONDAY, APR 10, 2006

The answer is quite simply – NO. Developing your pectorals(chest muscles) won’t make your breasts smaller. Many of you would have heard this tale countless number of times, but let me tell you now that this is yet another myth about women’s weight training/female bodybuilding that just does not seem to go away!

Yes, strength training has an overall toning effect, however – if you’re dieting and you lose a significant amount of body fat, THEN you will reduce breast size (but of course, this decrease will also be proportionate to the fat loss from your entire body). So if you lose weight and end up with smaller breasts.. its because thats how you truly were meant to look like.. and there’s nothing wrong with that. So blame the shrinkage on your diet/weightloss routine, don’t blame the exercise.

Muscle and fat are very different types of tissue and we cannot turn one into the other, and women’s breasts are mostly fatty tissue. Your breasts won’t actually get bigger, but what is actually happening when you perform the right chest exercises is that you would tone the muscle underneath the breast tissue, and this will cause your chest to ‘appear’ to be bigger. Therefore, it is impossible to actually increase breast size through weight training but what you’re able to do is to only create an ‘appearance’ of bigger breasts. Isn’t that good enough?

Truth is, if you go below 12% body fat (which you shouldnt be unless you’re a competing female bodybuilder, etc), your breast size WILL decrease.. so don’t be surprised when that happens. If it’s still bigger breasts you want.. then one solution for you is to either gain fat or get breast implants.

I guess I nvr even thought of my boobs shrinking when I started this weight loss journey. I was more focused on my stomache, neck (I know...odd to worry about the neck. lol but I missed having one), and legs. When I was 250, I wore a bra size 38C and I'm still a 38C (45 lb total loss so far). I will say that what I have noticed though with my breasts, is that their shape has changed and I'm liking it. They look more uplifted.

If my breasts do go a size smaller, i would still be fine with that. I'm just wanting to lose this big belly.

Good luck on your weight loss journey.

If your whole body is smaller, slightly smaller boobs probably look the same size. Most people don't dramatically change the proportions of their body, as much as we'd like to be able to.

Breasts are made of breast tissue covered with body fat. Unless you get to a really low BF% you won't lose the actual breast tissue, just the fatty icing on top. Theoretically.

That's why they make implants! It's the best of both worlds!

Or push up/padded bras (who really wants foreign objects surgically implanted into their bodies anyway???). They're boobs.. so what? Isn't your overall health more important? I say embrace your smaller figure!

Work out your pecs! I've lost 15lbs, and because of my chest workouts I've gone from a 30D to a 30E!
