Cup size decreases...hellllppp..when??

MissKelly · 06-05-2010, 10:32 PM

I'm very anxious for my breasts to go back down....they're going down very slowly now (mostly in the back size...back rolls & thickness are finally thinned out & rolls basically disappeared)...but I cant wait to get back into a C cup. I'm a D now.

For those who have lost 100+....where in your loss did your cup size decrease? I have a hunch I might not see a decrease in cup size until Im back under 200?? Is that about right? People pay to get D cups but I dont want them since they just represent my own fatness in my head since thats how i got them. Or maybe they are shrinking...I'm measuring...& the number gets smaller each time I do...but I know its all just in the back & sides.

How can I tell if my boobs are shrinking outside of how baggy a bra might get in the cup....anyone measure their actual boobs? Sounds dumb...but this is really buggin me at times....the rest of me is shrinking....will this be one of the last things to shrink with tummy fat???

Please give me some hope & your experiences?

My cup size increased but I was a B and now I'm a D.

My cup size has hardly decreased at all I was a 42DD when I started and am now 34D/DD but I don't feel that I look that large now.

I went from a 34F to a 30GG so you might be doomed to have boobies forever. I think this might be because I'm on The Pill and that tends to inflate you a little, so I've pretty much stayed the same size since losing 2 stone. Don't fret about it though, with a slimmer figure larger boobs look amazing and you can explore the amazing variety of low cut tops to show them off!

Oh I forgot about the pill effects, yeah I'm considering going off the pill, maybe I should stay on it until I get to goal

Although the last thing I want to do is show off the boobies! I like people looking at my face, not my chest.

Remember, cup size is based on band size, so if your band size has gone down but your cup has stayed the same (i.e., 36C to 34C) your breast tissue actually has decreased. A 34C has the same cup volume as a 36B, and so on. Also, this may be a stretch, but when was the last time you were that small? Were you younger? When I was this size before (at about 16-18) I was in a 34B. This time around, I'm older and my body has matured, and I'm in a 34C.

I've always had people talk to my chest instead of my face so I'm used to it, lol. And now I actually have a decent figure I intend to show it off! But in a classy way, I'm too old to be tarty

Also about the Pill, it's meant to make you put on weight because it's supposed to increase appetite, although I've found the opposite. It actually reduced my appetite and really helped me shift the initial weight because it stopped my PMT and that was what made me eat because I was so grumpy. Not sure how it works for others but it'd be interesting to find out.

I went from a 42DD to a 34D. My boobs deflated a bit, I may be a D cup, but I feel sometimes like I'm just pouring breast tissue into my bra and not big bouncy D cup boobies.

I went from a 42G to a 36C and it's definitely not the same 36C I was at 16.

MissKelly · 06-06-2010, 03:36 PM

Thanks for responding.

2 years ago is when I was last a C cup, then I gained after becoming ill.

I'm not on the pill .....so there might be hope. The band is shrinking, I just have had no idea how breast fat/tissue works if they might gain like the rest does & go down.

I did buy a 38D minimizer recently though to feel a bit smaller.....I haven't even tried on my old 34 & 36C's....wont bother at this point until I'm down another 50+. I won't frustrate myself like that...

I see in pics they're visually smaller & not as full...but my bra says different.

I have lost close to 160 pounds and went from a 42C to a now 36B. I figure by the time I reach goal, I will be back in a training bra

MissKelly · 06-06-2010, 10:25 PM

Thanks!! You've all given me a ray of hope! I feel much better now!! Before the gain they weren't exactly in teenager condition anymore (im in my 30's)...I was just always the one woman in the crowd (of my friends) who never desired a boob job for bigger boobs even though a lot of other women can really carry a bigger chest of really well. Now a breast lift....yes...that time will be coming here one day.

cherylmn · 06-07-2010, 11:54 AM

I've lost close to 60 lbs, and my breasts absolutely deflated when I was within 5 lbs of my goal. I have lost over 11" in my chest, but most of it was from fat around my ribcage/back. I could wear the same bras until 2 weeks ago.

So I guess for me, the width was one of the first things to go down, but the actual breasts didn't go down until the very end. And yes, they are now very, very sad looking...

Oh well - some nice new bras have really helped perk them (and me) up!!

I have gone from a DD to a full A. This summer I am finally an average B. I think I bought a new bra when I got down about 30 pounds. Luckily, some of my cleavage is returning.

I have always been extra blessed up top. My nickname in Jr High was Double Bubble. I was thrilled a couple of weeks ago when I bought 2 new smaller bras going from 44DD to 42D. My breast, like other body parts are starting to get loose skin - so even though my muscles are shaping up underneath, everything is covered with skin and fat - it's just really weird to see my body go through these changes. When I reach goal and have maintained for a while, I do intend on having a lift/readjustment. It will be my biggest reward to myself. Ladies, hang in there and my suggestion is to just wait until you reach goal. Our bodies are changing, but at least we're shrinking.
