    I lost some boob when I lost weight, but everything else shrunk too, so they still seem proportionate, if that makes sense.
    Also, I found my body image is much more positive despite my smaller boobs. So... there's that. Benefits outweigh the negatives.

    Yeaup chances are you are gonna lose some boobage.. lol baggage that may only exist with having that extra weight on you.. At least thats how it was for me :/
    I started out a C cup now im goin down down down.. and I still have 15 pounds to lose :/
    Good luck tho, I kept literally falling off the diet wagon cuz I would see them get small and get sad then I would gain my weight back and boobs back. Now, Im just letting them get small as I get smaller.. o well... sucks!

    I went from 189lbs to 106lbs quickly and lost a ton of boob weight. I would recommend slow weight loss!

    That's fine.

    Walk around telling people "I could be thin if I wanted but, hey, check out my boobs, aren't they great?!"

    People will love you for your sense of humor.

    :bigsmile:

    that would make a awesome shirt. :laugh:

    The thought that my boobs may become smaller actually makes me NOT want to lose weight :sad: hahaha
    (picture on left is not me by the way haha)

    I need to lose weight for my health and self-esteem and dancing and everything, but... this just really phases me! hahaa I'm a C cup as it is with about 40-45lbs to lose. But my sister is 40-45lbs lighter than me and has the same size boobs as I do now!!! :grumble:

    I was like that at first too. But as I've been exercising and wearing sports bras more, I've come to love how I look in sports bras, and actually think I look skinnier overall with smaller-ish boobs. So don't worry hun, you'll love your body no matter what it looks like! :)


    Does anyone else ever feel like this? :huh:

    At my age, 53, I need to be extra diligent in boob department. Generally blessed with good form though a 14A-12B when I had put on weight like I had never done in the past, I was very pleasantly surprised as I was spilling out of my bras! A first for me!! So you can imagine the thought of returning to my earlier weight, weighed heavily....:sad:

    ...pressed 'post' accidentally... Continuing from earlier...

    After grieving the potential loss of boobs like I had never had before I decided eventually health and fitness were paramount ! Plus I did not want to replace my wardrobe and I got sick of living in a few items of stretch to the max outfits... Even so I decided not to take things without a fight. Entering the arena almost blind, I decided pec exercises were the way to go. So apart from my cardio and weight loss have been pumping iron in that department like nev before and I must say that yes, the boobs have shrunk there isn't any sag and the look is lean and healthy. Plus I decided that at my age smaller breasts that appear firmer are more youthful!! So firm and smaller now looks even better! :love:

    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! :wink:

    I kind of love you right now. It's nice to read this from a guy.

    I lost a couple of sizes but think the fact that my entire body is healthier makes it a small price to pay.

    Mine got significantly smaller. I went from a 42D to a 36A. But it was worth it. Losing weight Improved my health and well being. I also dont have as much back pain now lol.

    My band has gone down from 38-40 to 34-36. My cup size has stayed at a DD. The actual breast size has gotten smaller, though, since the cup sizing is just a calculation for the difference between band and bust size. The higher the cup, the bigger the difference. You could very well stay the same cup size or even go up a cup if they truly do not change at all.
    Now, to look up pectoral exercises. Get nature's bra doing its work. :laugh:

    I wouldn't worry, as your back size goes down your cup size will look bigger in comparison. I've gone from 38D to 36E as I've lost weight, and no, they don't look like they'd have your eye out!

    Some of us have smaller boobs. It's okay! I do sometimes jokingly lament the shrinking of my chest as I lose weight, but never have I wished to be back in those gigantic panties just so the matching bra was a bigger size, too!

    Just for a little salt in the wound: I have 2 sisters. Neither of them struggles much with weight, and BOTH of them have huge boobs. I like to run around in front of them, free as a bird in strapless tops and swimsuits they'd never be able to wear without risking a serious "wardrobe malfunction". :laugh: Just make the most of what you do have, girl!

    My boobs have remained exactly the same size up and down the scale. The only difference I've noticed is that they're rounder and fuller these days since I started doing bench presses.

    This has always been something I worry about, but I have found that my bra size doesn't really change that much

    Since the pecs run under the breasts, if you add bench press to your exercise regimen, any fat loss should be replaced by muscle being built under the breast tissue.

    That's my theory, anyway. Certainly, my chest area is bigger since bench pressing.

    OMG my husband and I were just talking about this. I never really had any boobs. I loved the freedom of being able to go braless and if I wanted more just put on a padded bra. But since I gained my boobs have gotten so big and my husband happens to be very pleased. He hasn't gone so far as trying to stop the weight loss but he keeps saying you look great the way you are and making jokes that I may need implants if I get back to my old weight. I have no idea what bra size I am now. I bought a 34C and its too small. I was working out today and they actually hurt as I was jumping. I don't care what the husband says, these babies have got to go.

    I doubt my boobs will get much smaller as I lose (when I was 18 and a size 0, I still had 34Ds) but if I do...well...I'll invest in some good push up bras and once I'm done having kids I can look into plastic surgery.

    I'd rather be fit and healthy with small boobs then overweight with a big rack!

    I think I may be the only girl who would be more than happy to lose some weight in the chest. Mine have always been bigger, they're finally getting smaller, and it makes me feel free. I can actually wear sports bras and bathing suits now. They were a big, unclotheable distraction before, and I couldn't be happier to be rid of some of them.

    You can have some of mine so that I can be a B or C cup lol. Take them.

    I lost a lot and was quite saggy when done, however I am much older than you. Had them re instated, it was worth every cent. Just start a side savings account, just in case.

    I'm the opposite hon. I want to go down in size SO BAD... I think that will be the one thing I love more then anything else when I lose the weight. :)

    I lost mine! Went from a 36 C to a 34 B, but I also went from 175 pounds to 135 pounds!

    So I guess it's okay :)

    Everyone is different. I lost quite a bit of body fat along with the weight on top of stopping breastfeeding my little one. Needless to say I went from a good B to barely an A now. But I love to cute tank tops and t-shirts I get to wear:-)

    When I was fat I was a D. Now Im an A. Sometimes I miss my big boobs (not when its hot out though) On the plus side when your a member of the itty bitty tittie comittee, you can still find Hello Kitty bras in your size at the age of 24 :-) (a discovery I made yesterday)

    I'm a D now, want to lose about 40lbs and I'll be barely a B when I do. I feel like that is a very small price to pay for being in shape. You can always buy them if you want to go bigger.

    I'm the complete opposite...kind of hoping I'll lose some cup sizes w/the weight loss. If not, I'll be getting a reduction once I hit my goal!

    C cup on a big girl vs. a B cup on healthy weight/size girl......isn't is all relative and proportionate? I have lost at least a full cup size so far and just got some new (nursing) bras on Saturday. I swear, having a new bra that fit correctly on my smaller breasts made me look 10 pounds lighter....instantly!!

    Wear a padded bra. Lose the weight!! Carrying an extra 40 pounds for a fuller bust is so not worth it. Love yourself - big or small - big or small breasts. Just be healthy.
