My rear end disappeared right off the mark, and I was thrilled. Now my hips are just starting to disappear so much I'm looking a bit boyish from the waist down. Good thing I have those G's to assure people I'm not. :D

I used to wonder how much they weighed when I was a 40 G. They were extremely heavy then. Now, even though they're big, they're a whole lot smaller than they were and I think they feel like they're filled with air. It could just be that they're so different from what I had become used to. I can't believe how heavy they were before compared to now. No wonder my back hurt to do dishes.

"F" is for "flat".

I know. I'm a 32F.

JK I'm a 32 B (aka 34 A) and I'll take two pounds more in each breast, please.

To answer the original question, yes, your unbudging breast size does give you more credit for weighing what you weigh.

I'm guessing you look beautiful like Kim K. Love your curves! I do massive amounts of push ups and chest presses just to boost what fat I don't have there!!!

I was just wondering this yesterday, I would love to subtract the weight of my breasts from my overall weight -- I'm a 32DDD. (Double D if I don't mind tucking my boobs back in all day.)

I would love to be able to buy bras at Victoria Secret, but alas, nothing ever fits. I'm stuck to ordering bras online from Frederick's of Hollywood. (The boyfriend is more excited than I am when the catalogs arrive than I am, he flips through them first!)

Would love to be a manageable C/D cup and have a little more in the back! I have no butt. :lol:

I don't mind being busty, except that running presents a problem, I've yet to find a regular sports bra that works. I usually have to wear a really tight regular bra with a super tight XS sports bra over it and hope for the best.

And you know what he said?

"Your boobs are smaller."

oh my goodness that is ridiculous.

boys are so silly. yah-when I mentioned to my boyfriend I was trying to get healthier, lose 15 lbs or so, he actually started freaking out saying he didn't want my body to change and he was scared. "what about your boobs???"

he was genuinely worried boys are hilarious

Update: I am actually a 32DDD US/32F UK.

I tried to go bra shopping. and it SUCKED. Nothing was fitting, and the woman at Victoria's Secret measured me & just said uhhhhh we don't carry that size. This is somewhat off-topic but I would love to know if anyone else who has a similar waist-to-chest ratio has found a good place to buy bras.

This is killin me! I just want something that fits me right, is that too much to ask?

I'm in the UK and I've got my bras from Debenhams and Marks&Spencer. My sportsbra is made by Pure Lime and I've found it's good for running as it's seriously sturdy.

The problem I'm having with my bust is the excess skin and it's making me doubtful how much more weight to lose, I only have excess fat on my stomach but losing it could make the bust situation tricky. May end up looking at some type of surgery. :(

I'm also a 32DDD (also listed sometimes as a 32E US) by measurment, but I don't like the feel of the strap on the 32. I buy 34DD and put a tuck in the band and the straps if needed. The cups are roughly the same size in the two, it is just the band that changes I think. I have a few Le Mystere bras - they are sized UK so I get 30F, sometimes 30G in them. They are pretty nice. I've had good luck with Frederick's of Hollywood for bras in the 32DDD and 34DD sizes.

It sounds silly but get fitted at Nordstroms. I am a 34DDD on the verge of needing a 32 band and they were so helpful and had some beautiful t-shirt type bras as well as fancy or lingerie styles. I had previously been fitted at Wizard of Bras (a local place that specializes in fitting) and they put me in the same size but Nordstroms blew them away in terms of selection and style options. No more granny/full coverage/basic colors for me!

As a side note, not only does Victoria's Secret not carry stuff for us well endowed ladies, their sizes are wonky, arbitrary and their fitters minimally knowledgeable. The only time I ever bought from them I ended up in a 38DDD on the tightest hook and had to toss it when the band stretched within a few months. If they are the epitome of mid-level lingerie then no wonder 3/4 of American women are wearing the wrong bra size!
