Re: Question

It is true... sometimes. It all depends on your genetic blueprint. For me, boobs are the last thing to go, fortunately. But for some women, it's the first. You always lose at least a *little* boobage when you lose a significant amount of weight, and no, there's no way to prevent it. Breast tissue is surrounded by fat, and while the body is burning fat, it uses some of that as well.

Re: Question

Naxis is right about the genetic blueprint. For me, my breasts are always the FIRST to go! After losing almost 25 pounds through consistent cardio, my breasts were deflated and kinda droopy. I loved my new body, but hated my breasts. SO...I decided to get implants as my "reward". Another option is wearing a water bra. I did that while I was losing the weight and then got the implants once the weight loss stabilized.

Re: Question

yea you guys are correct breasts are made up of fat so the higher your %BF the bigger your breasts will get(to some degree). The reciprocal is true as well the more BF that you lose the smaller they will get, this varys some again by body type.
