Is there anything you're scared of loosing as you loose weight?

I've got a fantastic pair of tits.  I love them.  They're about an E-F cup  I know that sometimes when girls loose weight they loose a bit of cup.  Nothing scares me more than the idea of saggy tit by the time I'm 24.

I know what you mean. I'm also an DDD/E cup. I'm willing to lose a couple cups sizes as long as they firm up a bit. I really don't want to go below a full C/D though.

Ladies, let me give you the opinion of a Marine who has been around the world a few times and knows a thing or two about cup sizes (from a man's perspective, of course). ;)

I know that our culture seems to revere large breasts; the bigger the better some guys will say. However, there is a point at which too much is just that; too much. If you're going to be losing weight and getting healthier, nothing would look more out of place than an out-of-proportion set of breasts. I can't imagine a woman at 5'2" and 92 lbs with anything larger than C or D cup (at best) without looking like a cartoon character. I know some taller women may be able to get away with somewhat larger breasts, but again, too much can be unflattering.

I actually dated a girl who was a ballerina and had to stop because her breasts got too big. She eventually had surgery to reduce them because she was so slight (and very healthy) and slim that the breasts were comically off-putting when she was in her leotards.

Don't think of it as losing your breasts as you lose weight; think of it as gaining better proportions. Whatever you lose in cup size will be more than made up by the fact that when you reach your goals, you will have possibly smaller breasts over a much flatter stomach which will make them look even larger in comparison to the rest of your body than they do now... even with the smaller cup size.

That was almost poetic marinehead.

I'm 5'2 and I had C's and now as I am losing weight I feel like B's are a better fit. I actually don't mind having A cups. It'll be easier to do jumping jacks :]

I lost 50 pounds and a cup size (D to a C).  For my frame and size, I'm happy with their size.

I'm a 30 GG........... I'm so looking forward to being an E or a DD, i'll be able to buy a bra in a normal shop and my sholders won't hurt!

I lost 40lb and went from a E to a DD. Plus ca change!

I was worried about losing lean weight, since I didn't have any to spare; I was a very skinny person with 25 lb of excess fat. Now I'm a skinny person with 5-10 lb of extra fat (so I'm no longer losing weight but trying to slowly correct the distribution through exercise).

At my best weight loss, I have experienced loss of breasts and ass. It was disheartening but I dealt with it cuz I had a six pack and was nicely toned. I used to joke about it alot - that when I sit, I felt bone but truth was guys still found that I had an ass.

This time around, I would really hate moving from a C cup to a B, wouldn't mind losing a bit of my bum as I have a sink in my lower back so would still have the illusion of an ass lolz.

But marinehead put it nicely - better proportion and a healthier lifestyle.

I am rapidly losing my booty, which is very upsetting to me. I also want to say that marinehead is so right about proportion and how you don't want to look like a cartoon character! I actually have implants and got them when I was at my heaviest so they are an E cup and the more weight I lose, the more cartoon-ish I look. Sigh!

oooh I would love to have implants - so I can finally never worry about losing breasts but doubt that would happen *sigh*

Tip: If you work on building muscle in your gluteus maximus (booty) you would in fact enlargen the area. I've seen ladies go from no bum to lots - so it works :D

A HUGE part of the reason I put on weight back in high school for the first time was because I had  trouble dealing with the attention I received from men. I covered myself up with excess weight.

So as I lose weight, even though my breasts get smaller, I usually get more attention and as I approach 40 that is a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so scared that after I lose the weight (a little over 50 pounds total) I won't look any differnt.  I have been big most of my life (I'm 18 now) and I'm afraid that I won't look any different because I have never know a thinner me. 

I am scared that no one will notice my weight loss.

I am scared that I will still die of a young age, even after all of this hard work.

I am scared I will go back to being fat

I am scared that my large boobs will be saggy, and even though I lost the weight, I can't wear a bikini.

I am scared that the stretch marks on my stomach means that I will always have a large pooch of skin there, and never be able to show off my stomach.

I am afraid that going from 186.6lbs down to 135 will change me (for the worse) as a a person.

Wow... I have a lot of fears.

If my overall body was slimmer, I wouldn't mind dropping from a C to a B cup, but I do worry that they would look flat and deflated! I also worry about having excess skin all covered in stretch marks. My skin already feels a bit looser around my belly, and it worries me to think that if I keep losing weight it will most likely only get worse.

Personally I'm praying the boobs go back to my post reduction small D. When I worked out previously everything just got toned and they were sitting up like implants.

The BF is concerned about the loss of boobs (he hasn't forgiven me for the reduction I had before I met him.  LOL)  and the rear.

Hi joyful-

I think it takes a lot of courage to state your fears like you did. I share some of them. Knowing what they are may be half the battle. I think it is what keeps me stuck in many areas of life.

Good luck and stay joyful!

I have to agree with Marinehead. Bigger is not always better and if anything being in proportion is what's really important.

On to my own fears... I worry about losing muscle mass. I've never been super strong, but ever since my kids were born I have actually noticed increased muscle and tone in my arms & legs (all that walking and carrying, I guess).  I would hate for that to disappear.

I am hopeful that my abs have also benefited and that they are just hiding under a layer of fat, waiting to be shown off! I doubt it, but a guy can dream, can't he?

I'm afraid of losing the muscle on my arms which has literally taken years to build up.  (the larger arms and shoulders makes me look less pear-shaped, never mind being able to do push-ups)

I don't want to lose muscle...  or my mind.

That's something else I lost - my butt. I'm buttless.

Hi Joyful -

This is my first post here but I was reading through this thread on my lunch hour and just had to reply to you.

First, let me join Future214 in noting your courageous nature. So many people can't even acknowledge their fears, much less publicly state them. I just want you to know that you are not alone. There are many of us out here on a weight loss/life journey with our own fears too and we can take courage from each other.

I also want to talk about a couple of your specific fears. You will look different after weight loss and I think people will notice. Commenting on it may be another issue. I do think we all think about re-gaining the weight but the key, in my opinion, is having a maintenance plan ahead of time. Sags and stretch marks can fade, especially if you're young. I would hope that for you. You seem to be a remarkably self-aware young woman and I don't think a weight loss will make you different unless you want to be.

Anyway, best of luck to you with your weight loss and everything else in general. Take care!
