    My boobs got smaller too with this weight loss. I don't mind so much. i wish the bottom half like the belly & hip regions would follow. These are my stubborn areas i am still tackling.

    I was a small B before having kids and now back to that but saggier. *sigh*

    So what I've gathered from this thread is to start a chest strength routine and somehow convince DH to lose his man-belly. Win-Win.

    I got some great chuckles reading this board.
    But, I have always been chesty 36D didn't really bother me. But the last time I went bra shopping and I ended up with 40DD; I tried to remain positive, I think they started making bras smaller..... (it sounded good at the time)
    Any who.... besides muscle toning advice, the only thing I can add it: 1. A good sports bra 2. I always wear a fitness tank-top that is TIGHT (ok too small) but I want to keep them from bouncing-which helps with comfort and not pulling peck muscles.

    It's a good thing it's not the same for man parts, b/c there'd be some pretty fat men out there!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I heard that when a man looses weight his parts get bigger or appear bigger.
    Lies! Lies, I tell you!:laugh:

    Mine are probably with yours somewhere! I think it's partially genetics. My bff had a baby 12 months ago, is losing weight (17 lbs so far) and hers are perky and just as full as they ever were. I had a baby 7 months ago, mine sagged after my milk was gone. I have lost 23 lbs and my boobs are shrinking smaller and smaller. I guarantee she will keep hers and mine will keep shrinking.

    I hate that. I did breast feeding too for 2 months and mines sagged after that as well. All of the women in my family are pretty blessed in that area, so I don't know what my problem is. Someone said I might be loosing weight too fast, but I don't think so. At any rate, if they are going to go, I at least want my skin to keep up and I would love for them to perk up mor than they are........uuuggghh

    I haven't seen them any where, but I've never really seen a pair on me either. I have read of people who are very small breasted doing weights to build up so they have something so I"m thinking that's your best bet :) Had to respond-you made me laugh. Thanks.:bigsmile:

    Yeah, thanks for your response. I was normally a 36 C and when I became pregnant, I went to a 40C/40D. After having my son, I eventually settled at a 38C after losing and gaining back the weight. Now my 36C's don't even fit. This is ludacris.

    Sometimes there's no fighting your body.
    I've gone from a full D to a small B and while chest exercises may help keep them a little higher if they want to take a vacation south, there's very little you can do to stop them without an intervention. Hehe
    Remember though, while they may cause you to :( someone else will look at them and :D

    If I could post a pic without being booted off the site..........you wouldn't think so....lol. They look like they belong on a 60 year old woman when I lean forward or backwards...........smh. I realized it a little too late.

    Thanks for your response. I figured that much, but I'm not sure which ones to do besides push ups and chest press.
    bench press ( flat, decline, inclined) chest flys (flat, declined, inclined) pullovers, pushups, wall ball with a weighted medicine ball. Those are a few. Doing the press and flys in different positions will work different areas of the muscle to help push and pull your boobs up like a bra. It is important to strength train during weight loss. It will help prevent the loose and saggy skin because you will be building muscle under the fat.

    Thanks so much for that. I think I found one routine to do. I've never done anything on the bench press ever, so that will be a first. I'm supposed to decrease the amount of the weightas I go down in reps, but I don't know how that will work out considering I can probably only start off with the bar by itself. Once all the reps of one exercise is done, I'm supposed to move to the next.


    Incline Bench Press 5 sets 4-8-12-16-20 reps



    Barbell Bench Press 5 4-8-12-16-20



    Decline Bench Press 5 4-8-12-16-20



    Pec Dec 3 15

    I started off on the smaller end and mine only to appear have become better shaped and perkier. Hoping chest exercises will work for all you ladies!

    Im in the same boat :sad: i've gone from an overflowing 36D to a loosly fit 32D and I'm trying the chest excersises but think I need to add something. My husband is teasing me that he can hold both in one hand now days lol :blushing:

    haha--smh at your husband.

    Have you had a good fitting done? Most women wear the wrong size bra. They compensate for cup size in band or vice versa.

    I think arm and chest exercises can shrink your breasts. I was never large to begin with but I'm very small now. It sucks but I'd rather be small chested and be healthy than be unhealthy with big boobs. That's what I tell myself since I can't do anything about it. I gotta work with what I've got.

    Hmmm. Well, perhaps lost weight fast? No weight training ? Getting smaller is one thing - saggy is another : (

    My boobs are genetic - from my grandma. I've lost weight slow and I've weight-trained. I've been shrinking out of my bras like crazy even though sometimes my chest measurements haven't changed much. Is the whole fat/muscle recomposition thing. I have the same cup size, but have shrunk several band sizes. In fact, just had to buy new bras today.

    Sorry. Don't know what you to tell you. I think once they have sagged, they've sagged. Exercises that strengthen the pecs will help a TAD and I'd certainly recommend it - for more reasons thn one - BUT don't expect any miracles - K ?

    Truly - a professional bra fitting is amazing - getting the right size helps TREMENDOUSLY.

    I barely had boobs before, I have even less boobage now. I am honestly considering implants just to get something. Not too big tho.

    I wish I had less boobs. Or at least removable ones. I could put them in a drawer when I go running. I have already been approved for a reduction I just need the money. I will be a happy girl when that happens.

    Yep, I feel for ya....same issue here. I put on my bra and they just kinda lay down at the bottom of the cup.......when I lay down they completely deflate......my husband still likes them so I guess it doesn't matter!

    Its a common occurance with weight loss. Many suggest strength training to build up the peck muscles.

    For me there is no building up what is not there. :sad:

    I have always been top heavy and with my weight gain my boobies got bigger. I have gone from a 38H to a 34DDD or E depending on the bra. When losing weight you are losing fat and your breast are made up of fatty tissue. I lift weights and have developed a nice chest muscles, however, my breast still sag. I guess after breastfeeding 4 children gravity has gotten the best of them. The only suggestions I have is getting breast implants when you reach your final goal (that is what I plan to do) or invest in a good bra that gives a nice lift. I hate looking at my breast and my tiny bras :laugh: .

    A DDD is not hardly small. I will definitely have to incorporate strength training into my routine. That may be my problem. All cardio, and hardly any strength.
