Hey ladies, what about your boobs?

(Robin) #1

Weird observations deserve weird questions. So let’s talk boobs. Previously when I lost significant weight via other diets, I would always loose my boobs. In fact, they were usually the first to jump ship. But in keto, every other fatty part of me has tightened up, flattened out, shrunk. But the girls have hung in there… so to speak. So what do you think is up with that? Is it just me?

No not just you.
Back in 2002 when I decided to sort my life out, stopped smoking / drinking alcohol / nail biting all at once, also threw out the vegetable oil filled deep fat fryer and started exercising to fill the gaps, the fat dropped off me and yes, boobs were gone too. There’s only one pic of me at that time (which I’ll try and find if anyone is curious) and looking at it now, I looked too thin although I felt fab at the time and was very happy.
After that though, things kinda fell apart slightly and I ended up having to accept loads of unwanted and unhealthy changes which resulted in gradual but massive (for me) weight gain.
Years of crap later and following much inner work and rebalancing, I stumbled into keto in 2015 (I think) and am now a lower physical weight than back then but with more muscle and bigger boobs.

Mine stayed the same as far as I can tell… I only lost fat before keto (and a bit off keto later but it came back) but my circumference stayed the same. But I still have fat to lose. I just hope my belly will be less reluctant to lose than my boobs :slight_smile: I wouldn’t mind smaller boobs but only naturally smaller ones, not some awful saggy ones :smiley: So I hope they stay like this (I never was slim in my life so no idea what will happen). Or get better, who knows? Bulking and fasting may help, I heard stories… Surely not much but I appreciate every little positive things :wink:

Same here. Down 30lbs and not 1" off my boobs yet.

For me down 80lbs and the girls went down 2 cup sizes, but thats ok they do look a lot more perky than before :blush:

Nope…my boobs went on a deflated adventure down south :sweat_smile:. From E to a B/C. Looks slightly better these days.

I seem to have lost quite a bit there. I’m fine with it.

#8

Mine faired well. No loss in that area that I can say WOW about…seem the same to me thru it all.

I have not had that experience. Mine are gone. In fact, comparing over all looks, I would take fat me over what I see now. I just have to keep reminding myself that I am healthier now. I now understand why my thin friends used to be more self conscious than I was when I was overweight. I honestly don’t know if I will ever get into a bathing suit in public again. I am proud of the number on the scale I now see, I just don’t think my skin will ever catch up.

I seriously wish that mine would get a lot smaller as they are still very large. I just donated all of my size 50-54 bras that were E+ but the new 3X sport bras fit me around just fine but my breasts are popping out of them. I probably need to buy a 48 G or H --but I just keep hoping that they will shrink. I have lost 91 pounds so far and I have lost around but not from the size of them directly =(.

Lost 30# 20# to go but, no change in cup size, but band size. From 36g to 34g. Still a hard fit to find. Once I find one they always discontinue them. So from now on I’m buying them up and just stashing them in a drawer. From my past weight loss experience, I have never lost cup size. Only band size. And they’re not bad for an almost 61yr old! :smile:

Yeah… I look fabulous fully clothed. But no plans on flashing anyone ever again. Haha!

(Robin) #13

Get it, girl!

(Robin) #14

Maybe my rowing has played a part. I hadn’t thought about that.

(Robin) #15

Whoa… relating to your story! I gave up all my addictions at once too and soon followed with exercise and then keto. Keto is great for those of us with addictive personalities. I can be OCD about anything, might as well be carbs, Right?

(Robin) #16

Yeah, sports bra don’t cut it for serious boobage. If I find a bra i like that is comfortable, I’ll buy a zillion. I would say “hang” in there, but that’s a terrible pun.

(Robin) #17

I would be okay with it too. In fact, would be quite happy. But I was just stymied why this weight loss didn’t translate over to my boobs this time. Now I m thinking it’s a combo of keto and my rowing. I’ve got new muscles.

(Robin) #18

B/C would be heaven. Good for you!

(Robin) #19

Perky?! What is this thing you call perky? Maybe naked in a pool, but that’s not happening! LOL

(Robin) #20

Isn’t that amazing? It’s not like I am proud of my big boobs. I’d be happy to see them pointing north again, but that’s not gonna happen. After reading others posts, I think it’s part coin toss, part keto and part rowing machine.
