My breast size doesn't fluctuate with my weight, either. Everyone carries excess fat in different places. Mine mostly collects at my hips and thighs. My butt when I was younger, but now, not so much.

If you were to continue to lose fat, eventually you'd lose more size. Losing fat doesn't mean losing weight. If you gained more muscle, you could stay the same weight & lose fat, which would decrease your breast size without dropping to an unhealthy weight. When most people lose weight, they lose some muscle too though, unless they are following some strict regimen.

If you are thin and have a low weight and have really large boobs, then your body fat percent is probably still on the high side. Women like that are just lucky in the sense that their body stores the fat in an "ideal" place. It doesn't make them healthier though. At a certain point, you also just have to accept how your body stores fat. It's a bummer we cannot pick & choose!

Anyway, bottom line is, boobs are mainly fat.

I already had a very low BMI (weight training and running twice day). It was just the way I was built. No denying boobs are fat, but I don't think they always correlate to BMI.

Well BMI has little to do with body fat percent, but that's another topic.

Isn't THAT the truth! And good post in general.

If you ask me, BMI is redundant. It doesn't accurately reflect your ideal weight vs height ratio. Seriously, I think the poll should be asking what's the ideal weight of a woman of a specific height because your weight obviously depends heavily on your height.

Haven't read all responses but you can't know someone's ideal weight without knowing their height and frame size. Plus, it depends on how much muscle mass they have because muscle weighs more than fat.

Sure there are physicians and other health professionals who've created charts and studies on ideal health and weight, but I wanted to get everyone's input from a purely relationship/attractiveness viewpoint. Everyone seems to have an opinion on height (based on the answers in the other thread) so you must surely have an opinion on this as well.

What is your ideal weight for a woman?
it has a lot to do with both height & bone structure... those old "ideal weight" charts rarely take the latter into consideration

I can't answer the poll because everyone's body type/ideal weight is different according to height, and big bone-ness...some people are just meant to weigh more, no matter how much weight they lose kwim?
I know my ideal weight isn't a number. I work out and like being tone so I don't care what the scale says as much as how I feel. Although I would like to drop 10 lbs lol (doesn't everyone?!)

I think that when a woman reaches 200 lbs or more it become very unattractive and harm full to their health. Men also see a woman which is very over weight as being unhappy, depressed and not very health conscience.
