Ok - this is probably TMI for most of you, but I'm curious as to what other people think about this.
Have any of you ever wondered about how much weight you are carrying around in front? I'm just going to leave it at that for now.. will elaborate more later.
I know I'm carrying extra up front!! Part of my goal (and I am using it as my motivating factor - ww) is to be a 36C
I vision that when I reach goal I will be going into a place, such as Victoria Secret. I can't wait to buy sexy clothes!!! I am currently a 42D, sometimes DD
dh loves it but I want them a bit smaller!!
After I had lost 40 pounds and was 220lbs, I went from a D to a C. In highschool, I was a 36 C. Can't wait to get back there. I've already told DH after I hit goal and have maintained for awhile, that I'm gonna get a lift. Trust me after having 3 kids and losing weight, they won't be anything but empty sacks!! I don't want to go bigger or smaller than where I end up. I just want perky ones. Don't know if I've EVER had perky breast. It ought be fun. Tummy tuck and boob job....here I come! (After I hit goal, of course) .
Funny thing, I have no idea what size I am currently. I just keep forgetting. When my friend was here from Texas, we went to Lane Bryant. I needed to get a new bra and she asked what size I was. I told her some crazy size, and she asked me if I was sure. I thought about it and said actually no. So there we are standing by the bras, with me with my shirt up and her trying to read the tag. The sales lady walks by and says we could size you , you know. , I was so embarassed. I couldn't see the tag in the mirror, in the dressing room. Oh well. I know I wear a DD, just not sure about the number.
I'd be interested to find out how much mine weigh!!! (Might be a good reason for me being this heavy LOL!!) I used to be 40DD but even now I'm still 36DD. Do people lose weight from there, or do you stay pretty much the same?
Wow Karen! I didn't know you could be a 36DD!!!!!
I used to be a 36 C in highschool/college and would LOVE to be there again. I'm currently a 38D, but feeling like the bra's are a little too big.
this is too funny! Weighing your boobs!
I am just jealous since I have none compared to you guys with my "B" self. I know I wont lose this little bit cause I have always been a B. I was a C while pregnant and nursing and even at 100+ pounds overweight didnt change it!!
Karen-Most people do lose in their chest especially if you have gained a lot in the chest when you gained weight. If you start as a C and end up a DD overweight, then more than likely you'd go back to a C again. Some people seem to gain weight first in their chest-obviously not me!!
Maybe I should weigh mine too! If they were a pound each I'd be suprised!!
I had to stop and take my bra off because I had no clue what size I was either. I'm a 40D. Now if I recollect correctly the D is the cup size and the 40 is the measurement around the chest under the breast. I think way back when I was around a 36B so that would be going down 2 cup sizes and 4". I can believe that because I can pinch a couple of inches in that area. I hope that when I've lost the weight I don't get smaller than that. I'm going for a ton of surgery when I've lost all this weight to get rid of that extra skin. I know I'll look like one of those wrinkle dogs when I hit my goal.
I want to get mine reduced and lifted. During school I was a 36DD. I got pregnant and went to a 42F. I'm at a 42DD right now and hate having big boobs!!!
You are going to think I am making this up but I swear it is true. The last time I lost weight and kept it off (until bedfast for a year or more) I went from a life long D cup to a double D! With a small waist well, I was teased a great deal. Mind you I stopped at 250 lbs. losing weight. I am hoping , hoping, hoping that as I get down I will see a C cup as my standard. I will tell you something funny......just before my due date when I was pregnant with Alexandria I wore a size GGG cup. Boy was I popular with the guy's in the hospital!!!! It is so hard to get bra that size and the weight! Never again!!!!
Pam
I have ot a chance tyo read all of this thread but had a huge OMH moment with that weight total!! I often thought about 20!! but each??
i guess it stands tof igure imangine stuffing my puppies in a DD and not having them fit! that is me after about 60 lbs loss with about 100 in fat (muscle gain) i am still a DD so you can imangine what they were!!!
Beth ann you have my greatest praises. my cousin had hers decreaded from a C to a B she loves her new little perky boobs!! i hate her as mine will never be little and perkey!! I am just trying to get to buy a normal size bra with only 2 hooks and that do not need wide straps on top that still hold me up!!!
After nursing babes constantly for 4 1/2 years and deciding to have no more, my gift to myself at goal is a reduction and lift, i'm a 40 DD and I was a 38 c/d in my former life, I want to be a B. I just want to go through this second part of my life finding clothes that fit me, and being able to go braless occasionally.
These things have served me well, but I am so tired of carrying them around.
Most women who have reductions have between 8 and 12 pounds removed from each breast.
I'm wearing a 42 DD right now, although the bra is feeling a bit loose right now. So, maybe I'm a 40 DD or something... should probably get fitted.
My dream is to be in a C cup. I absolutely can not stand my breasts. The first thing I'm doing after we're done having kids & I'm done nursing is getting a lift!!
A lift is exactally what i need but i think with work that will not be possible. work is much lifting and such my cousin wasout of work for 6 weeks and could not wear a bra for 6 months so that would not be possible for me. but it sure is a nice thought
I actually am quite fond of my breasts. Right now, I'm a 38 C, which is fine. Unfortunately, my ta-tas are the first place where I tend to lose weight. At my lowest weight, I was a 36 B and considering knocking over a bank to pay for a cup size increase.
