Ok dont laugh,

But I've lost a bit of weight recently and went from a size 16 with 36 D bust to a size 12 and 32 B. This is sooo depressing i have always loved having a D cup. I've still got a stone and a bit to loose before i get to my target weight however i dont want to end up with no boobs lol. So is there any way wof working out and still loosing the weight without loosing my bust too.

Although i joke this is a serious question and so I only want serious answers thanks.

    Isn't it always just a trade-off? If you lose weight, you lose boobs...always thought that was how it was. Unless you consider breast augmentation. As a person who doesn't have the added responsibility of owning breasts, that's all I can come up with.

    i normally don't do work outs.. but i do pilates and yoga.. and try to keep my daily in take of calories under 2000 and i've been losing weight naturally for 2 years and going.. but i went up from a C cup to a D after... don't ask me how that happened as i'm still trying to figure it out.. =P

    but if you choose to work out.. don't focus on the pecs too much.. because your breasts are made of mostly fat.. you're gonna lose that if you work on it..

    also pay attn to the type of bras/ sports bra you're wearing.. because some of them will compress your breasts and move some of the fat to the area under your armpits and the back.. so don't mistake those as excess fat and try to work them off!! instead.. after you shower or before bed time... bend down and apply a bit of pressure as you run your hands from the back to the area under your armpits and finally toward the sides of your breasts.. do this only in one direction!! the direction toward your breast's sides.. do this a couple of times on each side and do it everyday to keep the fat where it belongs...(you can also do this if you're wearing some form of fitted clothing.. it really makes a difference in how your breasts look)

    and finally for sizes C and up you should wear a bra when you go to bed.. i know that people have said it's unhealthy to wear a bra when you're sleeping.. but this will prevent your breasts from losing its shape and the fat from running around... i don't know if this works but i've heard drinking milk and eating papaya is supposedly to increase your bust size...

    hope this helps!

    Another thing to keep in mind is that your back will thank you if your breast size is proportionate to the load it's carrying - women with large breasts can sometimes experience back trouble later on.

    I agree with NukeChem, having big breasts is a pain in the ass (or more specifically, the back). My mom had huge breasts and they did a number on her back, she would have such bad back spasms that she had to take painkillers constantly for years. Finally, she got a breast reduction and now she's able to go without the pills. I was the one to help her after the surgery and I just HOPE that my breasts don't get so big that I need a reduction too. It wasn't a fun time! Sadly mine keep growing as well... Aren't they supposed to stop around your early 20s?!

    Basically what I'm saying is that it's nice to have smaller breasts, so just take what you've got! And congrats on the weight loss! It sounds like you are closer to a healthy weight now. :)

    i was never aware of the fact i have a messaging technique.. whatever that is.. if you're talking about massaging.. it's something every girl should know about.. i'm just spreading the word..

    what can I say, I have a small vocabulary
    I tried to sum up what you were describing with massaging, which i just realized I spelled wrong too
