Good thread! Even though I'm approximately 80-100+lbs over weight, I'm only a 38C. I can imagine I'll be having this issue when I hit goal weight.

My thoughts? No bras! Woot!

lucky...

my breasts have shrunk a little, but my band size shrunk more - which means my cup size has gone up. i started at 40C-D, dropped to 38D, then 36DD, and now 34DDD (or F).

however, i will have to remain 40 lbs overweight to stay at this boob size, and i'm not looking forward to seeing these cuties shrink, flatten, and sag.

I don't know tangy. I was a 40DD at one point. I am currently a 32DD, verging on DDD. Breast tissue is not fat, so with fat loss, the tissue itself doesn't go anywhere.

Now the skin doesn't always snap back where it was, so sagging can be an issue. But I think that has more to do with five pregnancies and six years of breastfeeding.

The fat is what gives the breast its size.

The tissue gives its shape and holds all the pieces in (the ducts and pectoral muscles etc)

Breast are made up of muscle, fat, and estrogen.

i would NEVER choose boobs over health. i've always been very small chested--the highest i ever got was a C cup when i was extremely overweight (100pounds). and you know what? i dont mind one bit 3 reasons; 1. you can pull off the "free spirit"/boho braless look if you want to. 2. you can wear ANY bikini style you want and look HOT, with 0% spillage or worries 3. mine won't be down to my knees when i'm 80


~ tangy - there's a way to prevent the saggage a bit! if you tone your pecs, the muscles behind the ladies, they'll definitely perk up. you can do chest precess, pull ups, rowing, pushups, & boxing

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned getting a great bra to make your boobs look bigger. My younger sister has been flat all her life but she looks two sizes bigger when she wears her special cleavage bra. Everyone should get one

I'm not exactly sure of the subject except its boobs. I want to say that I never ever wanted or want big ones. I love when I lose weight and my breast get so small! Love it. I have a big butt no matter what size I am and that's enough shabam for me.

There is one thing about losing weight. Even if you lose your boobs, The rest of you is smaller, so it makes your boobs seem bigger! I know I am currently a 38DD, but at my weight, they don't look that big. If I were a lot thinner, they might be considered big. So, they usually go in proportion with your body.
