Bra Cup Sizes

[ferlew]

I joined a gym some weeks ago, and since then I have had to wear a smaller cup size bra.
I told the instructor, and she said no way can you lose breast tissue.
She informed me you can lose inches off your back, but not your breasts.
I refute this, because I am sure over the years mine have change shape. More than once.
Thoughts anyone, please ?

You always hear of famous dieters who've lost their boob sizes through losing weight dontcha?

[ferlew]

I thought it so, this was a young lass who was so far childless. I don't like to disagree unless I know the facts.

Breasts tend to get rounder as you get older (remember reading that somewhere). Since I started fitness classes I have gone down a bra size but up a cup size, which fits in with losing back fat.

She's talking nonsense, of course you do......that's always a sign of weight gain for me !

I disagree with your instructor, I know one of the members in my family has gone from being well endowed to having what we now call warts for breasts and I can tell you, it's not off her back. If I were you, I'd go to a department store or the like and get refitted for a proper fitting bra, or even just measured.

I agree with murray! If I've ever lost a little weight I can tell the difference!

^ lol

[Elina]

... with ducksies warts!!

[ducksie]

elina, that's the truth, we call her boobs warts now :0}

I am two hooks tighter, on my usual size. Cups are baggy. Gone down a cup size, (kept old bras) and a perfect fit.

ducksie .. The last time I laughed hard like that was the other night watching 'Still Game'

[ducksie]

so good to know I gave you a laugh Elina

Ferlew, sure sounds like you have got smaller in breast size

[Elina]

Well you did! .... '& I can tell you, it's not off her back' lol!!!

[ferlew]

But she has "Instructor" on her t shirt, so she must be right, eh? (TIC)

[Elina]

Nah ferlew. Common sense, you've already proved it with your old bra's!

[ferlew]

Ta :)

Your instructor told you wrong.
Breast tissue can include fat and exercise can make you burn it. Exercise also means that your muscles can firm up your breasts making them smaller.
Now excuse me while I take a cold shower.

[ferlew]

Bless ya Jim :)

With my missus it's the first sign .......... "breast tissue" is predominantly fatty cells so of course the dissipate quickly..

Whilst you can't actually 'firm up' your breasts, you can firm up the muscles that support them, as well as the muscles in your back. And as your band size increases or decreases, so your cup size relative to your band size can also go up or down.

Remember too that, like all your other clothing, your size can differ depending on the manufacturer and style/shape of your bra.
