I am at 45 pounds loss, I hate that it we loose the boobs first. I doubt if there is any way to know how often we have to down size our bras. Personally, I hate the extra skin right there more than buyin a new bra.

I wish it would leave my thighs!!

I was so excited when my breasts started to shrink! I suffered big breasts since my early teens and I love being able to buy smaller bras. I've gone from a 24DD (Australia) to wearing a size 12 tee-shirt style bra for everyday wear (sports bra for workouts.)

If I could recommend any bra it would be the Genie Bra (one of those As Seen on TV products) but they really are AWESOME! You buy them based on your shirt size so no having to get -fit- for one. They fit beautifully, support awesome and feel great (no underwire issue). I have always had large breasts (even had a reduction surgey that took off 7 pounds) and this bra is the most comfy bra Ive ever worn. :)

I've lost 87 pounds and while the size of my bra circumferance has gone down the cup size remains the same. I think its a bummer. I really wanted smaller breasts to reduce back neck shoulder pain. But I may need a surgical reduction.

I bought new bras in april and here I am again in august buying more...loosing my boobs is sooooo dishearting but as long as I don't go below a D cup I will be ok with that...lol

I honestly didn't know prior to my weight loss that I'd lose boob. I've always had big boobs (44-46DD) at my largest weight. Im excited to see what bra size I am now just because I'm curious. I do know I have 1&1/2-2 inches of gap in my straps:(

Me too!

I've lost over 85 pounds and I've had to go through three bra sizes starting at 46DD down to now 38DD but now my cup size is changing to a possible D. Happy about it but wish I had a breast lift.

So I may have dropped to a D cup?! Oh that's exciting news! I hope I've dropped that much. Now I can't wait to be fitted:)

My friend works at Victoria Secerts. When I started I was 42DDD and couldn't shop there. Now I' in a 38DD, but it's loose too. She had me come in and measure every few weeks after I lost my first fifty. Then told to wait til the next week for there semi annual sale. I hot 5 bras at 1/2 off I was crazy cause my three kids were with me and was only gonna but two but, shopping with kids is not the best- so I grab the five and left. I called my friend and tod her I was panicked since I just spent $125 dollars on bras that would most likely be too big in a few months. SHE TOLD ME AN AMAZING THING: Victoria Secerts will exchange your bras for the new size if you gain or lose weight and need need size. just bring back your bras and your recipt- get fitted for new ones. ( I put my receipt in my dresser with bras so I have it- she said they would probably do without receipt - but easier with it). So make your girls happy and buy a new bra. They are very good at fitting and picking bra that has right coverage. I wanted one with more side coverage for my loose skin under arms. Just ask. They were very helpful. It was also fun to go in every few weeks and see the change. Good luck.

Wow great info! Thanks!

I've lost 35 lbs and have to wear a smaller bra that I've had but didn't fit me, now it's my favorite. I also recently bought new under roos a size smaller because I noticed mine were so uncomfortable! I love having to wear anything a size smaller! I'd rather keep some boobs but I'm happy about wearing a smaller size anyway!

I guess I never shopped at Victorias Secret because I never thought that they would carry bigger sizes. Now I have something to look forward to...shopping and getting a fitting!
