Rachelratz--I will have to disagree with you on that one. Considering breast tissue is composed of over 50% fat tissue--(pick up any anatomy/physiology text or a women's health or gynecology text or for the layman..Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book) when an individual loses fat, breast size will shrink.
The caveat on this is that people lose fat in different places and at different times. When I start to lose I see it in my back,waist and butt first, then my arms and breasts, then my thighs last.
BTW--I'm 170 and wear a 12-14 bottom and large top.
