Well, a friend of mine was about my build and had to have a breast removed. She lost 15 pounds.
As to displacement, wouldn't that be volume rather than weight as the density of the water is different from breast density. You couldn't assume to displaced water was the boob weight.
This is the craziest thread I've seen in all my years of 3FC nuttiness!
Chickies, isn't it nice that EZMONEY is so "supportive". ROFLOLPIMP!
I don't think the bucket and water thing would work, because you wouldn't be getting the whole weight of your boobs, because they are still attached to you, so you are bearing their weight, not the bucket. You would have to chop them off and then put them in the bucket. To do a simulation, I took a cup of water and put it on our lab balance and weighed it. Then I dangled two mayonnaise packets in it. The weight went up slightly, but not nearly as much as when I let go and dropped them into the glass of water. This is because as long as I was holding them their full weight wasn't being released into the cup.
disclaimer: spinymouse does not recommend the chopping off of ones boobs for experimental purposes.

Hahaha! Nooooo, Ruth, I think there's been at LEAST one or two that were crazier...ok folks, it's time for a search through 3FC history: can you find and link a funnier thread? I remember one in the 100 pound club about two years ago....
and I thought Gary was VERY polite! We've had a few guys on here who would have offfered to do the supporting.
Makes me think of the time Dolly Parton plopped out of her dress. Her comment? That is what happens when you put ten pounds of flour in a five pound sack! I am sure each of mine weighs at least 25 pounds...
I had to juggle mine for experiment sake. I'd say 2 lbs. See, if they could weigh them when they do that ghastly mammogram we'd all know how big our boobies are.
Okay, when I was at my heaviest I was a 38DD (probably should have been an E but that's another thread) and was seriously considering breast reduction surgery. Fortunately, I didn't end up doing the surgery and decided to lose weight instead. I know some women don't lose weight in their breasts when they lose weight, but I went down to a 36D. Anyway, during that time, I started hanging out on a breast website (breasthealthonline) and reading a lot about other women's experiences with the surgery and it seems to me that many large busted women who went from, say, a DD or an E to a B or C, had about 500 to 1000 grams removed from each breast. Since one pound = 453 grams, that would be 2 to over 4 pounds of excess tissue in total removed. This isn't very scientific and I don't know if it's accurate, but if they had about that amount of breast tissue left after the surgery, that would mean that two DD or E-size breasts could weigh between 4 and 8 pounds. Does that help?

Yes, I'm sure it will be!
