the weight measurements 100 pounds for 5 feet plus 5 pounds every inch is accurate (I am a registered dietitian). However, it is not a good way to find appropriate body weights. Body frame also comes into play. A better measurement to check for a healthy weight is Body Mass Index (BMI). The standard ideal body weights do not take into account muscle weight either:big_smile:

I have to say, this is what is most frustrating for me after losing weight. I have always had an ample chest, when I weight 96 pounds through age 21 or so, I wore a 38D, I believe, anyway, a few years ago I lost about 30 pounds and when I looked down, I was soooooo depressed. My chest then began to resemble deflated balloons, seriously. The size remained, yet with the fat lessened, I had some big difficulties with what was left. Is there anything - anything besides a boob job, that can be done or am I doomed in my upcoming hopeful weight loss of 78 pounds - I won't be left with anything but saggy fried eggs for breasts, and I don't know how I would ever leave the light on with my husband again...I am hoping to someday leave the light on...lol!

Quoting from lini_liduce:

about loosing the inches in your breast, it is not always so. I went up to a 38 DD after having 3 kids, when I lost 60 lbs. I only went down to a 36 DD, but It all depends on how your body will react. I ended up getting a breast reduction, and could not be happier, but if you are only 15 years old, you are way too young to do that. Just keep on exercising and dieting and good things will come.

Hey ladies. I am new to the site Found it when I was looking for an excercise program. Thanks by the way. I just wanted to put some input in on the breast topic. I am one of the unfortunate people that had recently started dieting and now excersing because of morbid obesisty. What I wanted to say was that even when I was small when I was younger I had a again the unfortunate big breasts situation. After children and weight gain I was starting to get bigger and bigger breast which in turn made it hard for me to do anything. I tried to work out but I kept hurting my back. I do have to say that eventually I just got depressed cause my back was always sore and I suffered from severe tension headaches, and as a good portion of woman know once you get depressed it is like falling down a steep hill. Finally last May after topping out at almost 350 pounds my doctor stepped in and said ok I have let you do it your way now we are doing it mine. The first thing he did was got me into see a plastic surgeon to get a breast reduction done. I had it done at the end of august and aside from some complications I was ready to go full force on my weight loss by the middle of December. I went from a G56 ladies to a C 44. Wow what a diiference. My point here I guess and I realize that most wont look at this option. But at some point even after you have lost as much as you can off them you may need to consider getting a boob job done. If they are causing you pain. We decided that I needed to do it to make it so that I wasnt haveing tension headaches like crazy and I needed something desperatly to make it easier for me to excercise. On December 15 of 04 I started my diet and walking and swimming and am proud to say that as of yesterday I am 32 pounds lighter than I was. ANd truth be told, I wouldnt have been able to do it had I not had 12 pounds of fat taken off my breasts. I have no back pain no tension headaches and damn people I can wear a sports bra!!!!! I know alot of people say oh you took the easy way out. I dont think I did. I think I did what was the best for me and in my eyes they weight loss proves it.

Hi. I'm 15 and when I was in elementary, my teacher told me that when women start losing weight their chest size decreases. I'm 140 and I want to be 120. If I lose those twenty pounds, will my breast get smaller or is that just a myth? Also, is it possible to lose about 20 pounds in 2-3 months with moderate exercising and dieting. Are there any standard charts that give the approximate weight for people of a certain height?
