33 pounds down, 17 to go. I've lost something like 25 inches throughout my body except...
My bust. The girls have only dropped a quarter of an inch in size so far. Is it perhaps because of my age that I haven't lost more inches up there? It just seems like since I've lost pretty evenly through my whole body EXCEPT there that something's up. Am I just lucky, or is my body waiting to hit me in the last 20 pounds?
Not that I'm complaining about still having a bust... I seem thinner than I am simply because now my bust is so much bigger than my tummy.
You may just be one of the "lucky ones" like me. I have a real hard time losing anything in the bust area. I've always been a DD, even at 115 pounds. My strap size will change as I get smaller but my cup size will actually increase. Some call this a blessing, LOL
They deflate when my weight gets quite low. I think because it's fat that keeps them plump. It's been eons since I could go braless so they don't bother me much. In fact, since I've discovered that I'm a tiny person (didn't know that honestly!) I'm glad they've shrunk. I'm just too small to have booooozzooooms stickin' out the front.
I started at a 42 DD. When I was within 20 lbs. of goal, I was a 38DD. Now, at goal and I am a 36 C. So, I didn't lose them til the very end of my weight loss. I am not at all sorry to see them go. I just hate the droopiness.

i 'bout fell out of my chair laughing. I know how you feel. at my heaviest, i'm a 40 D, at my thinest, I'm a 36 C. but they loose a bit of their shape, and i'm being kind.
It might also depend on how much of your breasts are actual breast tissue and how much is fat. I think this can very quite a bit from person to person. You won't lose breast tissue when you lose weight, so if that's a good portion of your breast structure, you might only slightly go down in cup size even if you lose quite a bit of weight.
My breasts have been slow to change size. I know I've lost inches, but I've lost a lot less there than other places. I can still wear bras that I wore 60 pounds ago, but now I just don't have "bubbles" of fat poking out the sides and top.
I've heard that, that breasts are often the last part to shrink.
Please, please, PLEASE take some of mine!!! I can't figure out why people have surgery to get to my size (DD despite a 68lb weight-loss during which I dropped only one cup size). I'd rather be a C cup, thanks...Here's hoping that the next lbs help me out.
I agree with the C cup!! Haven't seen it since jr high. My poor daughter who is 23 today wears an F cup. In our family it appears to be breast tissue and not losable fat. I also have a neice who is 23 and has had breast reduction surgery. It seems like we aren't happy no matter what.
