breasts shrinking after weight loss

I’m going to lose 70lbs (83 overall) and whilst trying to have very minimal expectations, I am wondering how much my breasts could change? I currently have DDs, obviously I’m aware they’re (hopefully) not going to shrink so much I’ll be an A cup or something (no hate- this is just very small compared to my current cup size which I like).

I’ve heard women (who have lost similar weights to my goal or more) say to be completely prepared to lose the majority of your chest, but I’ve also heard from other women that their breasts maybe dropped one cup size, again, these are women who have lost similar weight.

I know that there’s no way of knowing until I’m at my goal, but I’m just curious as I’ve heard one thing and also the complete opposite. I guess my question is how did weight loss affect your breasts?

Are the first 10 pounds really just water weight?

I decided to make a change to my diet and exercise habits on June 24th, so today marked 1 month of trying to actually take control of my health and weight loss journey (for the umpteenth time) but this time I didn't restrict myself super low, or do hours of cardio, I just tracked my calories in a 500 calorie deficit and worked out more days that not. I was happy when I weighed in the morning 7.5 pounds down from where I was a month ago. I was talking to someone about how it feels different this time like I'm actually going to stick to it (and I have for longer than I ever had before), and they dismissively went "it's just water weight, you haven't lost anything yet. Everyone knows the first 10 pounds is all water weight." Now I'm just feeling really discouraged about this whole process.

Under 300lbs!!!!

I’ve made a few posts here previously, and just wanted to share my recent scale victory. I’ve been hovering at 302lbs for a week or two now, but continued eating right and knew the scale would catch up and it did. Stepped on the scale today and was 299. It’s been a long time since my weight started with a 2, and it feels great.

Having started this process weighing in at around 450lbs less than a year ago, I am absolutely stoked at my progress. Looked in the mirror, and while there’s still plenty of work to be done, I didn’t immediately look away like I would have before.

On a side note, for anyone who has gone through a significant weight change and gotten skin removal surgery, at what point did you decide to go to the doctor for a consult on this? Also, has anyone had any success in insurance covering it? (I know it’s a long shot, just curious if anyone had any success in it haha)

And last but not least, ama regarding my weight loss. I am more than happy to help in anyway possible. If I did it, anyone can. I’m definitely nothing special and was the long time lurker on this sub wishing it was as easy for me as it seemed for everyone else. I wish everyone just starting out on their own journey success, and continued success for those already on their transformation journey.

A miracle dessert: Angel Food *cookies*

I have had a challenging past couple months on my weight loss journey. Cooking and food are my happy places.

Tonight I was craving a dessert, when I had a thought: if Angel food cake is light, maybe I can replicate it in a cookie? I used this basic recipe: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/angel-food-cake/

I halved it, then made it into 36 cookies. About 15 grams per cookie in the oven at 325 for 15-18 minutes on parchment paper. Also, I used almond extract rather than vanilla. And OH MY GOODNESS. They were amazing - and only about 30 calories each. Add a squirt of whipped cream and a few blueberries, and this plate is 110 calories total for a substantial dessert.

Any other shockingly lower calorie desserts?

Guys are checking me out again

It's a strange experience. It's almost like a light switch...one day I was being ignored or just polite interactions and the next day suddenly I'm noticing flirting behavior or that I'm being checked out. I'm sure it didn't happen overnight like that but it did seem like there was a sudden switch at a certain point in my weight loss (where I am now).

I'm happily married and don't really care about being checked out. It's just interesting to see it occur I suppose because I haven't in a few years (since my weight gain).

Did anyone else experience this sort of happening really suddenly at a certain weight?

Debunking Weight Loss Misconceptions: The Truth about Calories and Indulgence 🍰📊

Hey!

I need to get something off my chest that has been genuinely bothering me. 😤 I am shocked and frustrated to see how many people still believe that eating a cinnamon bun, cake, or any specific food item automatically leads to weight gain. It's time to break free from this misconception and grasp the real deal about weight loss and nutrition!

Let me be crystal clear: indulging in a cinnamon bun or enjoying a slice of cake once in a while won't magically make you pile on pounds overnight! The real culprit lies in the overall number of calories we consume throughout the day. It's about the big picture, people! 🎯

Think about it logically - weight loss and weight gain depend on the balance between the calories we intake and the calories we burn. Eating a single cinnamon bun or slice of cake might feel like a splurge, but as long as we maintain an overall caloric deficit, we won't gain weight!

Of course, I'm not suggesting we munch on cakes all day and expect to lose weight. Balanced nutrition and mindful eating are essential for overall health and well-being. But let's not demonize certain foods and fall into the trap of thinking they alone are responsible for our weight struggles.

So, let's banish this unfounded belief and focus on the bigger picture - monitoring our total daily calorie intake, making healthier choices overall, and enjoying the occasional treat guilt-free. Let's empower ourselves with the right knowledge and break free from the shackles of misleading myths! 🙌💪

I wish I could start sooner

Hi, I’m L (F17|11Months) and im talking on my burner. So I might not reply to comments right away.

Anyways, I have been overweight/obese my entire life. My family is shitty in the ways they eat and at one point in time my mom told me about a weight loss program that’s anonymous and it was okay but the meetings made it feel cultish and I cut it out. The foods that they were restricting me to was to hard for me. I was doing full on meal prep for a month spending about $200 every week and a half. Obviously I stopped because @ 17 years old I didn’t have money like that. I still don’t.

2nd Anyways, I ended up doing my own things. Cutting out snacks completely and I had already cut out sodas so it was going nicely with no working out. I lost 10 pounds fast, 10 more slowly and 10 more again. But now I have plateaued and it’s not my fault. Is it? I can’t go grocery shopping for my family because they won’t let me. So imma eat what’s cooked for me.

3rd anyways, the point of this was to say I wish I could’ve had the opportunity to change what I ate (earlier). I loved being on meal prep (around early March) . Not the tastiest because I have no culinary skills but I would always relieve myself 30 minutes or less after I ate. I felt amazing. I’ve never felt body happy like that. It’s been a few months now and my body hasn’t been happy for a while. I was sick for 2 weeks and now I keep relieving myself every other day. I only drink water and I have been hungry asf @ night and ordering out more which im not happy about but im about to move out and be on my own. I WILL HAVE ALL THE POWER TO WHAT I WANT. (little backstory if you care/irrelevant) I have been sharing a room for about 16 years or more. I have been taking care of people for about 5 years. I have been cleaning after more than 4 people for 6. I haven’t had my own privacy in the last 3.

I am so ready to move out but I’m scared on what food choices I’ll make. It is 100% my choice on what I eat and I’m trying to figure out what’s good @ college that I can eat that won’t be tasteless. I am also moving into dorms in august not an apartment ╥﹏╥

Last anyways, are there any tips you guys would have for a college student with barely 2k in her savings? Other than budgeting. I plan on doing that later when I get the gist of my new life. I do not have a car. I plan on riding a bike when I get out there to everywhere. Even though the weather is like 90+ till estimated October. I love my tasty water so I’ll be very good on being hydrated ≖‿≖

TLDR: I wished I could eat healthier and now it’s here. I’m moving out for college and am afraid I’ll make bad choices when it comes to food. I’ve felt body happy before. I want to again.［●＿●］ Are there any tips y’all have?
