Too bad we can't tell our bodies where to get the fat from, eh?

Right? Always my posterior and my boobs, the places I least want to lose. I need to get one of those enhancing bras 'cept at my size they only make minimizers (H cup). I look unbalanced now, though.

I *wish* weight loss would affect my boobs! All my life I've yearned to be an A-cup, but I haven't been that since I was about 11 years old!

I would be satisfied with a C cup! Just enough and not too much IMO.

We never get what we want, do we. I have been noticing lately that more mature women (age wise) seem to have slimmer hips in ratio to their boob size. I'm talking about women who are not particularly overweight, just wondering if it's an age thing. I hope when I lose more, that my boobs will go down as well. I would love to be (neat)!! Maybe as you lose more things will even out a bit! I'd settle for a (C) cup too, not my present double (D).

Unfortunately the cup size never goes down and being an H means very few options in bras so it's really no advantage at all. I would kill to be a DD and get to shop in normal places!

Way back when, I thought DD was great. Of course that was a 34 DD not a 42 DD!

I've had a breast reduction and I have to say it was the best thing I ever did! I am able to shop at normal stores and normal bras (D or DD now) and don't need to use antiperspirant under and between my boobs when I go work out. It helps with exercise because I have more freedom of movement. If your insurance will cover it then I say go for it!

No, you did not read from the beginning! I'm sad with weight loss that the old boobage is shrinking! It must be how I'm built but even in H cups right now my breasts look disproportionately small for my body. I have no other problems with size except not being able to shop in stores. I used to run and I could run for 10 miles in just an ordinary street bra with no special support. I think it's because they are not very dense at all. They are not heavy to me or bothersome that way but I feel you - I have known friends with all kinds of pain from heavy breasts and it always sounded awful. Mine are big but I think they may even meet the pencil test. They are very odd. I was unable to breastfeed due to no supply and I think I just lack all the dense tissue women are supposed to have.

I seem to be losing in my chest and my behind...but of course not my love handles or thighs! It would be so nice to redirect the fat loss!
