Boobs....ugh..just the bane of a womans existence if you ask me. lol I miss my young boobs...and I have considered getting them "fixed" but ..in the end..I think it is just a waste of money. You know if you get implants you have to get them changed out every ten years? What the heck is that? Planned obsolecense? (sp?) It's a marketing thing..but anyway...somedays I think I would just rather have them hacked off so I could sleep on my stomach comfortably. lol

I've never had perky boobs as they've always been large and unwieldy. I think that when I start losing more weight they are going to get even worse looking. I pretty much told my husband that I'm going to get surgery the moment I have children and finish breast feeding.

Why can't the fat come off my legs instead?? They're still really big (my thighs measure 21.5 inches, and my calves measure 15 inches); there's plenty to lose there!!

I feel like I'm going to need some serious plastic surgery at some point. The sagging skin on my thighs and stomach were always my biggest worries, and I really thought I would be more ok with my saggy breasts, but they've gotten much worse these past 10 lbs. It's depressing. I may look better clothed now, but naked I feel like I looked better 20 lbs ago.
Breasts are fatty tissue--and that's where most women lose weight first--(unfortunately.) It's a common complaint--but really it's much better to lose the fat--have loose skin--because let's face it, most people are going to see you clothed versus naked anyway--ha.ha.

I'm in a similar situation. 100 pounds down and my D's are now As. (My thighs are at 24.5 so I've got you beat! ) I'm embarrassed and self-conscious about my lack of boobs, but slowly coming to terms. I've been maintaining about a month and I've started weight lifting (arms, abs, butt, etc.) It may be wishful thinking, but I think they're already starting to look better.

Your post was made a while ago, so hopefully you have some insight about any long-term changes/adaptations that may have occured!
