Saying Adieu to my Boobs
I've been loosing weight recently in all the wrong places. I've been trying to loose the flab on my arms and tummy but instead my boobs went down another cup size. At my heaviest I was a Triple 'D' so initially I didn't mind going down a couple of cup sizes to a 'D' but now I am a 'C.' And it is not a snug 'C' it is a loose 'C.' Could be a 'B' one day kind of 'C.'  
My friend who is a cup size 'A' knows I am upset about this so she sent me a card in the mail that said:
'You are officially a memeber of the Itty Bitty Ttty commettee! We welcome you with love and support! P.S. Remeber to register your cup size at the IBT Commetee office down town.' 
The girls got jokes  
I kow it might be melodramatic because I am told repeatedly that a 'C' cup is not small but I plan to loose 15 to 20 pounds more and by then my boobs are bound to go down to a cup size 'B.' I like the way my shirts are filled out on top and like that if I want I can show some cleavage 
Don't get me wrong I think loosing the weight is worth it but I really really will miss them and I did not realize it until I went to buy a bra yesterday. Does anyone else feel this way?
On the bright side I noticed the smaller cup bras are cheaper in price.

I've only gone from a "c" to a "b", but I am also only half way to goal!! I figure I will be stuck at an "a" cup before long. It bothers me but dh just laughs so I guess it will be ok.

My boobs are quite deflated as well, which I don't mind so much when I'm clothed, but they are the opposite of perky when unclothed. Kinda of a bummer I'll admit!

Winter, love the smilies! I too am worried about my boobs. I can bet 95% of the ladies on here are worried about theirs too and if their not its only because they've just begun their journey and havent noticed a difference yet. You're not alone!

I'm thrilled to have gone down from a G to D!! Thrilled, I tell you!!
However, I do not like the deflated feel. There's nothing in them! Even though they're still large, they feel as though they're filled with air. Very strange.

Yup, the girls are a thing of the past. Went down from a very full 46 DD (was probably more, just never sized well) to a 34C.
But that just shows me that they shouldn't have been there in the first place. I never *earned* them; it wasn't my genetics to have them. It was really and truly fat, extra, added, unnecessary, unhealthy fat.
Everything else is much smaller too though, so it's all good (mostly  ).
Though the boobs are much smaller, I feel infinitely more feminine and sexy and confident.

I hear ya, and mine was sudden. After my son I was a DD, then as I stared losing I was a D and that was welcomed. I stayed a D up until a month ago or so. It was weird I only lost a few lbs and the girls dropped to a small C. At first I was kinda bummed, but then I noticed they started looking less saggy at the smaller size and just a better shape over all. Thay are still a little more deflated than I'd like, buy in general I'm really starting to like being a smaller size. If I lose the last few I anticipate I may go back to a B which is what I was in high school.

I feel the same way. I went from a 44F to a 34D, soon to be a C. I really don't want to be any smaller than a C, that's what I was in high school. I've had big boobs for most of my life and I kind of miss them, though I wouldn't want to be quite so large again. Mine are so saggy and stretched out. I have a definite case of boob envy going on when I see curvy girls.

Boo hoo! I'm already a B-Cup and I've only started my weight-loss journey. 
Thing is though, when I was between 100lbs-120lbs I was still a B-Cup so at least I know they won't vanish completely. But yeh, they do loose some of that fullness. Which is why I'm seriously considering breast implants once I reach my ideal weight and have maintained it for a year or so :]

I've lost 35 lbs and can totally tell the difference. In fact I've been putting off bra shopping for another 10 bs at least. I'll just look bad in shirts for now, and since the cold weather will be here soon it won't matter with a layer on top. After breastfeeding 4 kids one right after the other, I know I will want a lift + a small implant when I'm @ goal. I'm vain like that...and I know I'll feel ugly since I can tell they will be super saggy. I don't want to feel so yucky about myself + start getting emotional + gain the weight back.

If it's a confidence thing, it's not being vain. Having a boob job will totally make me feel better about myself that much more after losing X-amount of weight :]

My boobs are all over the place, I swear. I had been wearing a 38D for some time... comfortably, and then when I got about 10-15 pounds down it was too big. So I got out some of my old C cups and they were too small...fine in the band, but the boobs just weren't dealing with the smaller cup. So I went and got a bra fitting - thought it was about time I did something about it.
I was literally in awe when the lady told me what size I should be wearing: 12/14 E! (US maybe 36E?). Seriously. I am still so shocked. My boobs when they are not in a bra do not look like an E. In fact they kind of look like a full C...it is ridiculous that they fit so comfortably into an E cup.
I find it really confusing because they seem quite small to me now.

Thanks a lot everyone. I'm new to this site and I love the support everyone gives. All my friends have always been stick skinny so they don't really get it.

There should be a service like "Locks of Love" that gives steeply discounted breast surgeries to successful dieters who have lost very large amounts of weight.
I can't comment, I've simply gone from a 36AA to a 34AA. WOO HOO.
