"The girls" aren't lifting weights!



Recommended Posts

My skinny little petite mom has informed me not to worry about my saggy boobs. (I told her I may need to hold on to my larger sized pants because I'll need to tuck them into my waistband pretty soon.) She claims they will "firm up" once I start losing weight. The girls don't seem interested in weight training. Believe me, I've tried to convince them.

My mom sees me as young. (I am 40) I think she is wrong, wrong, wrong about the reality of this situation. I will probably look into reduction/lift options, because the boobage just isn't cute, and they seem heavier these days. Pendulous, even.

Anyone care to shed some light on this subject?

:) Amy

Sorry but your breasts are made of fat...So they are usually the first to go....I hear you with them not wanting to hold up..But my trainer said to keep exercising and building the muscles under them and it will help....Okay then what to do with them when they are hanging down to my waist..I roll them up now and put them away....I so need a plastics to step in.... :(

I like my breasts but I think I'm also realistic about the changes that are happening and going to happen over the course of the next year or so. I guess I look at them and think, they certainly aren't that bad and they could always be worse! LOL...Good luck to you! I hope whatever you do and go through, you find peace with them :)

LOL, I was thinking about this the other day. Mine weren't good looking to start with. I plan on working out my back and front muscles to get that lift going.

I went from a 42 DDD to a 38 LONG... LOL

it happens to most of us... get your self a really good supportive bra, and start working out to try to build that area... if your still not happy after some time and they are still bothering you, then do something, but i wouldnt do anything before you have reached your goal.... Good luck with the girls :P

I went from a 38 D to a 38 D long. I really thought they had gotten smaller--but they just became 2 dimensional! I did go out and get fitted and tried on about 20,000 bras and found no underwire, padded and underwire sheer worked the best. So I bought a couple, because you never know where I'll end up 30 pounds from now. Probably will need to be fitted again. I never thought I'd ever consider plastics, but I am beginning to change my mind.

Mine have gotten 2 inches shorter! From armpit to nipple.... poor sad saggy boobies. They're still crazy... 8 inches long, 5 inches wide 1 inch thick. YUCK! I've been looking into lifts/implants. I found a video that talks about how skin can only stretch to a certain point and recover so when we put on a lot of weight and our boobs get giganto the skin is never going to tighten back up and make them "normal". All the exercises in the world won't tighten skin, they only tighten muscle.... sad but true... I see more surgery in my future!

I have heard some ladies do a fat transfer.. that could be a win, win.. But I wonder will the fat stay where it has been transfered ie: from Hips to boobies.. Or will they be like a retriver and try to go back from where they used to live??

Mine are no longer objects of sexual desire.

They have a practical use.

I can shine my shoes with them during the day.

And in the night, they double as a neck and armpit warmers.

I'll be first on the plastics bench as soon as the 'margin of skin shrink' has taken place.

Hopefully takes place... :blink:

PLEASE GOD LET IT TAKE PLACE!!!!! :o

I'm 25. I lost 95 lbs. I'm looking into a breast lift. Mine are gone. There's so much extra skin that was stretched when they were bigger that even will a little toning and firming, the skin will always be there, not helping them firm. I have to remove it. I hate it.

I no longer have breasts... Just saggy nipples. Oh so sad.

Luckily silicone & a lift will fix that one day.

I am 3 months out and it is more sad about losing my girls than anything else :-( I have already started a secret fund for them. I will have nice boobies again.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
