This way I can store tennis balls in between them

Reminds me of one time in high school I went to a pool party and a friend amused himself (and freaked out another friend) by trying to throw the second guy's hacky sacks down the front of my swimsuit.
That was back in my small days of wearing only a DD.
If your breasts are proportionally large, they will always be so. When I lost 30 pounds year before last & part of last year (got pregnant), I went from an H or I (don't remember) down to an FF. Of course, part of that was a result of my older daughter not needing to nurse so much...Now they're back up to a J, but that's milk. But you're unlikely to be a stick with a couple of beach balls attached; that typically doesn't happen in real life (in fact, it's the easiest way to spot a boob job or a breastfeeding mommy). There might be some odd things going on cup-wise as you lose weight. My cup size is bigger this time around than it was last time because of the way cup size is calculated. I doubt the breasts themselves are any larger, but since the measurement around my ribcage is comparatively small (36 1/2" last measurement), I require a larger cup-size, because there's a greater difference.
Here, I'll stick in my plug for properly-fitted bras. They make a world of difference in how you look. Wearing a bra, measure around your ribcage. If it's an odd number, round up. Then add 2" - 4", depending on how snugly you like your bras to fit. Then measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the first number from the second; that's your cup size. One inch of difference = A cup, 2" B cup & so on. A DD should be about 4" difference. Above DD you really have to look at the manufacturer's guidelines, because cup sizes are no longer standardized (when I got married I wore a DDD, F, or G, depending upon the brand). If you're losing at a fairly rapid clip (which you seem to be), measure yourself at least every other month & adjust your bra size if necessary. A couple of other tips: bras should fit comfortably in the middle set of eyes for the hooks (most have 3 rows); regardless of measurements, the actual fit is more important. If your breasts obviously spill over or feel pinched, go up a cup size. If the flesh under your arms spills over, go up a band size. Common-sense stuff like that.
