breast after weight loss
How have any of you women who are finished losing weight dealt with breast issues. I'm only 20 years old, i dont want to look like I've breastfeed 5 kids before I even get pregneat.
Hi,
I am pretty much in the same boat you are. I am 22 and im a 36 DD also, I only need to lose about 15lbs and I want my breast to shrink without sagging!! Ive been doing chest exercises and always wear 2 sports bras so they dontbounce too much. I was wondering if you have an update on how this worked for you, or any other tips.
Thanks!

Now that I have reached my lowest weight ever I have gone from a large 34/36C to small D before pregnancy to a 36/38 DD post pregnancy and am now a 34C, maybe even a 34B depending on the make of the bra.
However, I am actually the same size I was 4kgs heavier when hubby and I met 11 years ago. They look the same, a little lower on the chest, but still stand up okay. Pregnancy however, has meant the fullness/volume/weight has gone and they are now little floppys. It's nothing a decent bra can't solve, but it is a different matter for hubby, who doesn't like that they don't feel firm anymore.
Stuff what he thinks though, I would rather they got smaller with the rest of my body to be in proportion, especially seeing as without the fullness, bigger breasts would LOOK saggy aswell as FEEL saggy! I actually like the idea that my breasts are no longer a focal point for men to ogle, instead of looking at my face when they talk to me. I'm also enjoying wearing low tops without looking tarty and not having to pull my bra down at the back all the time because of the weight that breasts can generate!
Also, just to clear one of the biggest myths out there concerning babies and boobies. It is not breastfeeding that makes your breasts saggy. Whether you bf or not is irrelevant. The saggy breast arrises from pregnancy, when all the breast/fatty tissue moves out to make way for milk production. Unfortunately, you can't be sure that once the milk stops, the tissue will all move back in in quite the same way! Comes down to genes, good luck, and good maternity bras!
When I was at my heaviest ever at around 150 lbs, I was about 16 years old and was 36F UK.
At one of my skinny phases at 118 lbs, I was about 34D.
Right now, at around 128 lbs, I am a 34E.
I guess weight really affects boobs but I think it's all predetermined by how your body carries the weight. I am naturally an hour glass regardless of what my weight is, I am pretty much lucky! You SHOULD never have to worry about your boob size. Do some strength training for your arms and chest and if you're meant to be big-chested, you will maintain it. Don't worry too much! Just work out and it'll be fine.
