Well, I always lose weight in my chest! You can always wear push up bras! I am sure you look great and focus on the good parts, like do you have great legs? Show off those legs if that is something you like or your hubby likes? (it is true, focus on the good)


eta: great job on the weight loss! Also, it is much better for you health, I always heard the more weight you carry up top the higher your chances are for a heart problems so another good thing to think about and like I said push up bras are great! hehe

Thanks for your kind words skippy! I may have to make a trip to V.S. and find some fun new things, huh? I think that's what makes it harder is that hubby feels bad about it too, not as bad as me, but I can tell he misses them!

Hi,

I was 130 before having kids and I was on the pill and was a full c cup. After having kids, I lost weight and am 110 now and a size 2. Not much left in the chest region so I wear push up bras AND this is the biggie. . . I lift weights such as chest presses. My chest isn't bigger, but my cleavage looks toned. It really helps. Try two 5 lbs weights and then work up to two 8 lbs weights.

Oh, and I thought of getting implants, but my friend had them and still has body issues, so I do not think implants are a cure-all. Two other ladies I know have had them and one additional still has body issues too and the other had one of her implants leak out!

Congrats on the weight loss.

ETA - I use the VS very sexy push up bra! It is padded

Congratulations on loosing the weight. I am very proud of you.

I also lost it in my chest. Tee hee, my boobs now sort of look like prunes (probably somewhat due to my age ) I also lift hand weights. I am sure that helps a lot to tone.

I feel better loosing the weight, being I am pre-diabetic. I am sure my hubby misses mine too, but he knows I have to stay healthy too.

I can understand where you are coming from, and it seems normal to 'mourn' the body you used to have. It's not even just losing or gaining weight, just a fact of life that nothing stays the same. Even just getting older one's body changes.
Not exactly the same situation, but 2 years after having second child, back to my pre-baby weight, (around 123). Although my body looks more like it is supposed to be, my cups are not running over so to speak anymore. I am lazy at shopping for clothes and kept wearing bras for too long that were all stretched out because they were comfortable. I went and bought a couple bras that actually fit (nothing fancy, cotton) and found out for the first time in my life I am an a cup not a b cup. Kind of a bummer. But, I think I look much better now that my underwear actually fits. Buy some nice fitting underwear, it will make you feel much better about your new body.
Also as some people mentioned, if you do arm weights the whole upper chest, arm, shoulders area can be very sexy if they are toned.
