So I'm 5"5 a size 34G and 142lbs.
I'm a size UK10 so when a friend asked how much I weighed and I said '142lbs' (at my last measure a month ago :P) she was a bit shocked and said I had to be lying or had weighed myself wrong. This got me thinking.. how much does a boob weigh?! Big bangers have to have an effect.
I did some research and came up with a site that says a single G cup sized breast weighs 8lbs.
8lbs!!
All this time I have been aiming for around 130lbs, when in fact if I didn't have these knockers, I'd be a 128lbs? 8lbs a boob doesn't sound quite right to me, but then again, big breasts are pretty heavy. Does anyone know a weight?
You guys are cracking me up. In June I was measured and I was a 34 HH now I'm a 34 G. I just bought 2 expensive bras in June so I don't want to buy more now just to possibly have to buy more bras in a couple of months. What do you guys do?
OH, and I guess I would be like 185lbs plus boobs. I like the sound of that!
I've lifted for quite awhile, but still have pain, however mine are significantly bigger. I noticed tonight that they aren't quite as bad since losing weight.
This thread is hilariously unrealllllllllll,oh my bad, that's just me being a boob.
Oh and I weigh approximately 148, without head.
Ichabod where are youuuuuu?????
Aww man, I'm a C, so I can't even use that as an excuse! Since I've lost weight, I haven't lost it off my boobs though, which is odd as most people say that's the first place women lose weight from.
Since I was last on here (2009 I think) I gained a heck of a lot of weight, and with it my breast size increased, from a G to a K. Now I've lost about 37 lbs and I've gone down in cup size.. I'm unsure what I am now, but I almost fit into an F cup :)
But now the very first bra that had ever fit me perfectly (which I bought at the beginning of this year, before I lost weight) is now a $200 useless piece of lace
O_O
I think it's the only thing that made me sad about losing weight, haha.
I wish the fat would come off my hips as easily as it came off my boobs :P
The things we do when we have time on our hands. After reading this article, I asked my husband to help me weigh my breasts and at first he thought I was weird. I am 5'6" and about 145 lbs and I wear a 36HH cup now that I am nursing.
To measure the weight of my breast we used our kitchen scale to weigh each of my breasts. My left breast weighs 3.81kg and my right is 3.7kg exactly. For my American friends, that is about 8.40 lbs for my left breast and 8.25 for my right breast.
The second method is a method called displacement. Displacement is a method used to measure the volume of a liquid. We submerged my breasts into a large bowl that was full of warm water to the rim and collected the water that spilled over into a 2nd large bowl. We then took the 2nd bowl and weighed it with the water in it. We discovered that each one of my breasts weighed approximately 8 lbs minus the weight of the bowl.
I carry over 16 lbs of breasts all day every day. Now I know why I pay 80+ dollars for a bra.
Note:
There is no scientific way to calculate breast weight and there are too many variables when dealing with breasts to come up with any logical formula for figuring breast weight. Breast density, percentage of fat cells, milk filled lactating breasts vs. non-nursing breasts, etc. all contribute to variations in breast weight for the same breast volume. There are several different methods that I have used to estimate the weight of my breasts. Each method gives a different result and there are differences when using the same method but repeating the procedure two or three different times.
This post seems to catch everyone's eye - well Bette Midler had a joke about her enormous boobs - and she said she went to the post office to weigh them. The punch line is: I wont tell you how much they weigh, but it costs $87.50 to ship them to Brazil. Third Class.
I have had big boobs since I'm 13. It was wonderful - not - in 8th grade to be unofficially voted the girl with the biggest boobs. Come to think of it, back then at 106 lbs, they were merely a B cup. As I got older and womanly, they are a D. Depending on the bra manufacturer the band size varies but currently 40 D or 38D. Recently on a different forum someone suggested I measure beneath my boobs for a more accurate band size, and go with that rather than the cup/band combo, and try a larger cup. Smaller band/larger cup....rather than larger band/smaller cup. I'm going to try this.
My daughter is built exactly like me on top, but on bottom like her dad and has small hips. While I used to look like an hourglass or an X from the front, she sideways looks like a P. One of her friends said to her you are from the feet up skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, then POW - BOOBS. She took a lot of flack for it in high school but she handled it well. She took a line from Jessica Rabbit and would say...."I'm not bad, I'm just drawn this way" and add to it--don't judge a book by its cover. Unfortunately when you're built this way, males get the wrong idea. Just because you're built like a playground doesn't mean everyone is invited in to play. So for the men (boys) reading this.....remember that.
And to the poster who wrote that his penis weighs 10 pounds.....thanks for the chuckle. :)
Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It was one before I joined.
Felt like I wanted to join in and weigh my man boobs, but you can't get a scale easily underneath there's not enough space. If you push it in harder it catches on the bottom of your pec, or digs into your ribs. Hey i've got ribs.
Now if I'd weighed my double chin when I had it!
Surely the best technique would be to get your husband to support your bosoms whilst you stand on your scales.
This thread has made me very grateful to not have huge boobs. They're a bit on the larger side, but I've never had to deal with back problems or pain because of them.

I have my CV ready!
HEY! so this kind of amazed me and I had to say something. this whole time Ive been so self consious about my weight and wondered how much my breasts weighed and now I know that being a 34I at the age of 17, I they weigh more that 8lb and I am just right (: this damn things may kill my back but they are here to stay so might as well get use to em eh ); haha
That's exactly what I say. I joke and say I'm 5'6" with 3 inch heels and 130 lbs without the boobs!
If I'm an M am I twice as big as a G? I don't think my boobs weigh 16lbs each but I could see 10lbs each as reasonable. My doc wants me to always weigh 130lbs but I think I look strange when I'm that thin with my gigantic boobs
I'm 5'2" 150lbs and I've just been advised that my boobs are now too big for my size 34L bra (UK size - US size is 34Q). That got me thinking, just how heavy are these bad girls! My kitchen scales only go up to 5kg/11lbs, so I had to use the industrial scales a work, where I discovered they are 18lbs each! No wonder my chest and back feel they are on a permanent work-out!
Put it another way, I would have a perfectly average weight without my boobs, but 36lbs of breast has put me firmly in the overweight category! Not that I care, they aren't going anywhere soon!

Check http://www.figleaves.com/us/outlet/ ; you can sometimes get some really good deals there.
I have similar stats than the OP. I'm about 135 lbs, 30-32 FF and usually wear a US6.
I'm down from a 34g/36ddd to a 34dd/36d - but I'm sure the boobs still weigh 5 lbs - and I like them! So... I still weigh what I weigh. I think it would be silly to say "I don't eeigh 152, I weigh 147 because I have boobs" but whatever works for you!
If you are close enough that not counting (10 lb max) of boobs puts you at your goal? Rock it! You are winning!
The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
