I don't have any ideas for you; maybe someone else will. But, I can identify! I used to have, well, a pretty nice chest! lol Since I'm almost at my goal weight, my chest is rather unimpressive now. I guess that goes with the territory... a flatter tummy also means a flatter chest. There are always padded push-up bras, though, right?! Very Happy

After losing half my former body weight, I still have big boobs. I went from a 42 DDD to a 32DD. I used to bitch and whine that I could never find a bra. It's now even more impossible for me to find one. 32 DD is one of the hardest sizes to find, unless you go to Victoria Secret and have 50 $ to spend on a bra.

Victoria Secret has a push up water bra. I tried it on in the store just because it came in my size. WOAH.. that's all I can say. It's 50 dollars, but if you are in need of it I suggest it.

Do not feel alone! I have lost at least 40 pounds and I swear half of that was my boobs! My husband actually said to me that I needed to stop losing weight for that reason alone, lol!. I just know it's kind of sad when I go to put on my bra (I am not sure what new size I wear and quite frankly haven't been too enthused to find out) that it is so ill fitting now, as my much smaller breasts just kinda sink into this sea of fabric with an underwire, thankfully, that stops them from slipping out the bottom (maybe a little TMI for the guys Winkbut hey... it's true). That water push up bra would be nice, but...$$...just not do-able right now. After seeing what I just wrote, yeah, it's time--well, absolutely necessary really--to go to the lingerie department Sad
Happy Losing!!

I know exactly what you mean, I lost 7 inches in my chest and I still have to do a double take...I say look @ the positive, the cutest bras are usually ones for the ladies w. smaller busts, I got the cutest lacy bra so excited!
...Not a major Betty, but a vast improvement...

I have good muscle tone (pecs) under my chest (boobs) and I find I don't lose much in the the bust area (proportionately). I measure under my bust and over. And for every 3" I gain or lose underbust I gain/lose about 3.25" off my bust measurement.

As an aside I got a GREAT tip at the local bra shop: If you have back fat issues (as I do) and you don't mind a bit more up front (which I don't) get a bra with a wide band, do it up, lean forward, put your hand between the cup and breast and reach towards the back fat, pull it all forward, et voila back fat disappears like magic and your cleavage gets a bit of a boost! I could have kissed the woman!!! So excited!!!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention the breastfeeding thing too! I nursed both of my 2 boys and although it was great for them, my boobs have never looked the same! lol

I am lifting weights - supposedly if you build up your chest muscles, the fat gets pushed out on top of the muscles and you are bigger and perkier on top. Lots of pushups!
