Losing fat in the wrong place!!?

Post by BeachBride »

I started working out 3 1/2 weeks ago and the good news is I think I'm starting to see slight changes already! :D

Now for the bad news: One thing I've noticed is breasts getting smaller! Now I already didn't have much (a small B) but now I'm down to an A. Is there anyway to stop this? I have been doing both strength training and cardio 5x a week for 30 min/3 miles.

I'm guessing the answer is "no" so I guess I will be exploring breast augmentation..... something I have thought about in the past.

Bulding up the Chest area with weights, is one way to look at it.

boobs are fat so if you're losing wt you will lose breast tissue...that being said some lose from there easily and some don't at all

I guess it's good I'm losing weight, but I wish it was from butt!!

I'm dying to weigh myself, but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.... I'm going to hold off for another month.

Ah yes, I can relate to this one. I have lost alot of weight recently and have found boobs are disappearing on me these last couple of months. Went from a 40DD to a 36C and the sad thing is they are still shrinking. Have to ask friends daughter for her training bra at this rate..lol.
body looks better besides that shrinkage, I guess that's the price we have to pay. If only we could shift the fat to where we wanted it eh?

This happens to every woman who loses weight. Don't worry, you are losing fat fromt eh butt, it just doesn't seem it. It's kind of a trade off. Breasts shrink with the rest of you.

You can try doing some chest exercises with challenging weights. It's unlikely though since you are a woman and that you are eating a calorie deficit that you will build up much of any muscle.

I went to Victoria's Secret and got a nice push up bra.... LOL. Since chest is more defined now, they actually don't look too bad!!!
