Hi,
I’m 5′1 and 127 lbs. My body is not at all proportionate. My top half is ‘well call it fuller than my lower half’. At 19, my breasts are a size 38C. You can say they are driving me insane. I have just recently started a diet and exercise program to help me achieve my goal weight (Somewhere about 115lbs) I was wondering if you thought that was a significant amount of weight for it to be possible that my bust size might also decrease?

Hey Kayla - first, to answer your question - I’d say Yes, I think you should certainly see a reduction in the size of your breasts. Breast tissue is mostly fat, and when you lose fat, you don’t lose it from any specific area of your body, but you lose it from everywhere. See a previous writeup on Spot Reduction being a myth HERE.
When you begin to lose weight, it will be proportional, which means that the weight comes
off pretty evenly throughout your body - breasts included. By the way.. your breasts do not stop fully developing until you’re 20 - 21 years old.. so there’s still time for change, naturally.
Have a healthy eating plan before you start dieting and eat well. Starving yourself & skipping meals is a big no-no as it will only be counterproductive. I express my concern because you’re only 19, and already, you’re concerned with diets. Are you having trouble with your weight or is it just your bust size that you’re unhappy about? There’s a big difference in dieting and eating healthy.
Anyway Kayla, I am always in favour of eating healthy and regular exercise. I believe it sets you up for success and is a great way to live your life, while taking care of your body - and you’re getting a head start! Weight training will be an important part of your exercise routine and will make your breasts look a lot uhmmm… perkier! ;)
There is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight if it is to feel better and acquire a healthier lifestyle. Peer pressure and the media can be hard not to listen to. Attitudes about breast size are often influenced by fashion too. From a health perspective, there is no ideal breast size. Breast size bears no relationship to breast cancer or the ability to nurse a baby. All I’d like to say is to be confident in yourself and your body - and it will open up more doors than you can imagine! It’s happened to me, and it can happen to you too.
Your friend and coach,
DM

yes, cardio definitely helps w losing e fat mass that accumulates in our bodies and agreeably!! no spot-reduction!
kayla, i think it’s great that u’re taking charge of ur body at this age, rather than waiting til u’re 35 or whenever and go ‘oops, let’s do smth abt it now’. hmm.. smth can still work, but why start then, we one can start now eh? ;)
it’s awesome also, that we have proper, reliable sites and information ard us nowadays with rgds to good diets, proper exercises etc. kudos to DM for being part of this too!
DM, Kayla, and whoever else reading this post, i find this site really good http://www.exrx.net/index.html recommended by a great friend of mine.
fitchick: At the rate you’re going.. soon you can be my sidekick. ;)
Yes, thanks for the link. There are some writeups where I’ve done previously and linked to the ExRx (short for Exercise Prescription) before. Thanks for bringing it up again.
DM: most welcome! :)
sidekick eh? dat’s an honour.
I personally think that breast is all fat and it cant be reduced with exercise.
The only way u can reduce from size 38 to size 34 or 36 is to reduce weight by minimum 20 lbs. The same applies to belly fat in middle aged aged men. THey can only hv a flat belly if they lose 20/30 lbs.
On the other side it can also be a genetic factor. I hv seen over weight young women with a very small bust and also thinner women with a full
bust size 36.
So u hv to find out whether u hv a large bust because of being fat or is it because u hv inherited from yr mother who had a large bust.
hmm.. this may not be relevant or even helpful but… why would anyone want to reduce their bust size? lots of women would kill to have a 38C. :P
on a serious note, i have a friend who’s even..umm.. more endowed than 38C. she works out and yet there’s minimal reduction so i’m inclined to agree with raza dossa.
I am getting here out of line. Leave the bust of women to them selves.
Lets talk about mens penis size. It cant be increased by any exercise nor u can do anything for ED except take things like VIAGRA. BUt why cant we hv a penis replacement as they hv for Heart,Kidney,liver and even pancreas, so why not for men’s penis. Havent the scientists given any thought to this vital matter. Going over 65 most men wud pay a fortune to hv his flagging penis replaced by a youg one of a 25 yrs old man who is
brain dead. I am sure something shud be done for a bad penis which cant perform as Viagra is not available to a man with a heart problem taking Nitro Glycerin, so what can be done.
hmm i wonder if it’s really true rgdg wut they say abt “e place u gain first is e last to go”? as in, if u feel that ur abdomen gain e fats e first, it will go last? if e arms gained e first it will go last?
so if breasts gain first, last to go? wow that wud b awesome.
Raza Dossa: Yes, you’re getting out of line. Sorry, but that ain’t my area of expertise. I’m sure if there was something that could be done… they would.
fitchick: I thought the place you gain first, is the place you also lose first… :)
DM: that’s not what i heard.. hahaa.. apparently gain first last to go; gain last first to go! i dunnoooooooooo… now im confused! :D
i m 22 years old and my weight is 43 kg. my breast size is 30 i want to increase it give me suggestion what should i do
oh lord my baby your driving me craz. Andreina Cecilio.
naina: there’s no quick and easy solution… do read my writeup “Exercise Tips for Firm and Bigger Breasts!” and see what you can learn from there.
show me the exercise how to make my breast in to small size
desparil:
big boobs suck that’s why. Especially when you have shirts that would fit you normally with out your boobs but you have to go up a size with them.
It’s rather annoying. Not to mention, athletes like myself don’t want to contend with them.
Mae: If you don’t mind sharing - what sport are you contending in?
could exercise decrease the breast size?
plsgive suggestion to reduce breast
