Thats a long gone concern....i've had two babies ;-)

Actually i was always a c cup and i didn't love my 'puppy dog' ears' until i started swimming 3 times a week. About a year ago i went up to a D cup, but reduced the measurement around my back from 36 to 32 because they became alot firmer. Now i love my boobs :-)

I'm flat chested at any weight so at least if I'm thinner I might be faster and slightly more in proportion. However it does mean that at a BMI of 18 I look more like a BMI of 20ish as my chest weighs sod all - I think when it comes to women's BMI's the weight of boobs should be taken into consideration.

How much DO boobs weigh anyway? Has anyone ever worked it out? Is my BMI actually 21+boobs rather than 22?

Typically, if a woman has a breast reduction operation the surgeon records the weight of breast tissue removed. Going from, say, an HH/J-cup to a C-cup might involve the removal of 300-400g from each breast.

So not a huge amount compared to total body size!
