I’m desperately trying to lose weight at the moment but the biggest thing killing my motivation is that I’m a 34H bust and only 5ft tall.
My mum always said that even if I lose weight my chest will always be large and I likely won’t lose any from there. It’s really dampening my thoughts as it’s my biggest insecurity.

Had anyone with a larger bust lost a decent amount of weight and also lost it from their bust too?

For reference I’m 5ft, large hips/thighs and bust, not a bad size waist (hourglass in figure I guess.. just a flabby one!) and weigh 176lbs, usually wear a 14-16 UK.

Will I ever get a slim, ‘beach body’? 😭

OP, I'm a size 10 with a 30FF bust. I fit in size 10 clothes fine, apart from some shirts. There's the odd thing that doesn't suit me, but that's the same for most people regardless of bust size.

I have lost almost 3 stone and my bras are smaller than they used to be. They were an H cup at one point. Don't let worrying about your boobs put you off - you'll only know if you'll lose weight there once you've lost some weight. Just make sure you go for regular fittings if you're losing weight so that you're wearing the right size, it makes an enormous difference! Good luck.

I lost a lost of weight during pregnancy and breastfeeding, I think went down about 3 stone and 4 cup sizes. Band size didn't change. Boobs didn't change despite the breastfeeding so was all due to weight.

I've lost 3.5 stone and gone from a 38g to a 34e

What were your boobs like before you put weight on? Mine have definitely grown as I've become overweight and do shrink when I loose weight.

I lose weight from the top down, so fat cheeks go first, then boobs and arm fat, finally tummy. My legs are sticks already so don't lose so much. When I lost a significant amount of weight, my bra size went from 32G to 30E. Still big relative to body size.

I'm 5'5" and weigh 8 stone 4 pounds. Previously I was 11 stone. When I lost weight it came off in the order described above. In my dreams I have a flat stomach. However, I've had 3 x c-sections and even when I was at the bottom of my healthy weight range (7 stone 10) I still had a bit of an overhang. I do exercise as well.

Here’s my before and after, although I’ve lost a bit more since. You can see the boobs went down a fair bit!

Merryoldgoat · 05/03/2024 21:23

When I was my slimmest (still overweight) I had 34G breasts.

I’m much fatter now and I’m a 38J/K

Thet so go up/down but not as much as the rest of me.

I have recently lost 2 stone but only gone down 1 band size. Still HH cup. However I feel better about my boobs now I'm not wearing a tent and have a waist, I'm a much better shape. I would really recommend a website called Fairlie Curved, it specialises in clothes and tips to make the most of your boobs. I find I'm increasingly happier with them when I'm dressing in a way that's flattering.

I would say my boobs are 50% fat. It actually puts me off losing weight, because they go so saggy and... Flat. I'm currently losing weight, I want to I lose it on my tummy but it is coming off my boobs and bum first!

Hey, I lost around 2 stone following dieting & regular exercise and lost weight off of everywhere including my boobs, it felt great! However, I didn't maintain that lifestyle and have now reverted to my original body shape, but aiming to get back into regular exercise and healthy eating soon!
