Do you have to loose your breasts when you loose weight?
I’m 18 years old, 5’9″ and 147lbs, for the past year and a half i’ve weighed aroung 155ish over the past couple months i’ve gotten down to my present weight with minimal work, just cutting down the junk basicaly. I’m still not happy with how my body looks and I’m trying to loose the weight quickly but healthfully. my major concern with loosing weight is I have larger breasts(36C) and when my step-mom lost alot of weight recently and her breasts, which were the same size as mine, shrank to small a cups and are quite saggy, my breasts are already, not the perkiest and i dont want them to get worse, but i want to firm up and lost the weight. any ideas on how to loose weight without loosing my boobs?

I’m sorry to say that there is no way to lose weight in one specific spot and no way not to lose weight in one specific spot. .

When you lose weight you lose fat from all over your body. Breast tissue is mostly fat so yes, you will lose breast size if you lose enough weight. But better to be a healthy weight with slightly smaller breasts than larger with bigger breasts. Although, at your height I don’t feel you are overweight.

Eat healthy, drink lots of water, get your exercise…basically keep up the good work but to help your boobs out I would suggest eating eggs, chicken, and good proteins every day. Your boobs might get smaller through your weight loss but if you do some good strength training workouts, the muscle underneath will get stronger and perk them up. Just be good to yourself and I bet your body will be good to you back.

you wont lose all of your breast if you excersize
dont forget breasts are muscle too with fat
so dont worry about it, they will only get firm and better.
you will only lose most of it if you work your body out like crazy
till your bodys about 10 percent fat like Linda Hamiliton she did that for a movie (Terminator 2).

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier.
