I finally went shopping for new bras today...at the Salvation Army.
My old ones are a bit too large now.
They do have new donated undies with tags still attached, so those are the ones I pick from.
My back is happier now that I am much thinner. I am buying bras in all sorts of smaller sizes..less than $3 each.
There are some gorgeous undergarments there.
YOU KNOW IT’S TIME TO DIET AND EXERCISE WHEN....
you go to the zoo and the elephants throw you peanuts!
I was always a B-cup when I was just slightly overweight, and even when I was peeking on the other side of obese I was a solid C-cup. I'm ok with C's but when I had B's I didn't have to worry about sports bras etc, which was nice.
I'll be ok with either staying a C or returning to a B. Not sure how I'd feel about being an A...
I guess it's like hair, if your hair is straight you wish it was curly and if it's curly, you wish it was straight.
I'm still a DDD (42 now vs. 44 before losing 32 lbs) and I would love to end up as a plain D cup, or even a C (but I think the last time for that was 6th grade!). So odds are that I'll end up one of those people who barely loses a cup size while others who want to stay big get small. I'd be happy to donate some, if only that could be arranged!

At 202 lbs I was a DD and now at 175 I'm still a DD I do wish I could go to a C cup but the smallest I ever had was a D cup. SO is happy that he knows I won't shrink that part but my back kills me sometimes! I made him promise me some maintenance to my body after he refused to accept the fact that I wanted to reduce them so we will both be happy.
I do however wish sport bras and regular nice looking bras were more affordable or even be able to wear a tank/tube top with no bra! Oh I imagine that to be so comfortable! LOL I am definitely going to look up those pec exercises!
My max bra size at my heaviest was a 38D, now that I've shed 90 pounds I'm a 34D. You don't understand how difficult it is to find that size! It's almost impossible, I like my big girl boobs and I hope I don't go down a cup ...I just wish there was more of a variety in 34D cause it's extremely hard to find.

It seems that once you go above C, the bras get boring.
I've actually had luck at Walmart (when I was a 38/40D) finding cute bras in D cup.
However, I think I might be a 36DD or D now I have to go and try on some bras and see.
I think my ideal size is C and I haven't been that since I was a preteen.
My high-weight boobs were about 40 DDD (or whatever cup size is bigger...I don't think I was wearing the right size). All of my bras were UGLY!!!
Thankfully, my boobs went down to 32/34 DD or DDD. They could be smaller and I'd be happy. But now I wear only pretty bras. :-)
Overly big boobs are so uncomfortable. I found it really hard to fit shirts properly when my boobs were huge. Right now I fill out shirts nicely and I have great cleavage but it would be really nice to be able to fit most store bikini tops and certain maxi dress tops without looking pornographic.
Ha! I just posted earlier about this same topic. I'd love to lose my boobs! At my highest, I was a 38DD. I've lost 30lbs and now I'm a 38D. Mine are heavy! And to me they look massive...I mean I have friends who wear the same size bra as I do and mine look so much bigger than theirs! So forget cute bras, I have to get full-figure support bras...so annoying. I know realistically that I won't ever have small boobies but I'd settle for maybe a 34 or 36D. Might not sound all that small to some of you, but believe me it'd be significantly smaller than mine now!
Well I had the opposite issue, I've always wanted smaller boobs, maybe not A-cup small or B-cup but at least C or D cup. I started off at 44J at 275lbs. At about 235, I was down to a 42h or 44H depending on the style. And of course these bras didn't come cheap. Plus one always looks even bigger with big boobs. I wasn't very happy. Now about 90lbs gone, I'm a 36F. And honestly, I do miss my boobs in a way. It's not that I'm flat chested by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been sooo busty all my life it's a bit startling to look down and not see that much I'm happy with what I've got now and though I wouldn't mind a smaller band, I hope my cupnsize doesn't shrink that much more.
Another concern is with sagging and deflation and wrinkling, which to me is even worse than smaller boobs. Ask me a few months ago and I would have wept at the state of my boobs. But honestly it DoES get better. The skin does get less wrinkly, the boobs do pick up a wee bit more perk, it gets better!
I have 38D boobs too and I absolutly adore them! They are so much fun LOL
Mine also shink to a Bcup when I'm smaller... Oh sadness of being a woman... if only they would stay I guess thats just what we have to learn to love when we lose weight!

Really? Does it get better? I have been considering surgery someday when I have the time and money to do it because it seems like that is the only solution to this problem.
I don't measure my chest because I don't enjoy seeing those numbers shrink. After recently losing 15lbs I am still a 32DD. I don't know if I was wrong about my size before or if I just haven't shrunk yet. I will. I know I will. I was itty bitty when I was thin, for a while I didn't need a bra at all (though I don't expect to be that thin again). My mom said maybe I would get lucky and get to keep some.

I have been the same bra size all throughout gaining this weight. I have a feeling though (just with my luck) i'll lose my nice comfortable 38C when I get closer to goal.
...I just wish there was more of a variety in 34D cause it's extremely hard to find.
I have to go and try on some bras and see.
