How can I lose weight without decreasing my bust?

I have recently put on several pounds which, of course caused my bust to get a little bigger. I was to lose some of the excess fat, especially around the middle, but I am happy with my bust size right now. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to target weight loss to particular parts of the body?

There is no way to control where you lose weight. I've read many dieting websites, so trust me :) When you do muscle exercises (ie situps) you aren't losing weight around your belly but instead making stronger muscles. The only real way to lose weight is cardio, and when you do cardio you cannot control where you will lose the weight! Everyones body is different.

Step 1 Once you reach target, add 250 calories a day to your existing daily calorie intake. This means if you’ve been having 1,250 calories each day, you should now have 1,500 calories a day. Step 2 After a week, weigh yourself on your usual scales. You’ll probably have lost a little more weight. If so, add another 250 calories to last week’s daily allowance. So, if you were having 1,500 calories a day, now have 1,750 calories daily. Step 3 After a week, weigh yourself again. If you’ve lost more weight, add an extra 250 calories to your daily intake, for example from 1,750 calories to 2,000 calories each day. Step 4 After a week, if your weight has stabilised that’s the amount of calories you need each day to keep your new slim shape. If you’ve gained a tiny amount, drop your daily calorie intake by 100 calories, for example, from 2,000 calories to 1,900 calories daily. After a week, weigh yourself again. If your weight has stayed the same, that’s the amount of calories you need each day for weight maintenance. If your weight has gone up or down, juggle your daily calorie intake by 50 calories a day until your weight eventually stabilises. Step 5 Weigh yourself once a week on your usual scales until you are confident that you’re maintaining your healthy weight.

i think the best way to lose weight without losing bust is to do exercises in the areas you wish to lose in. limit foods that cause you to gain weight, but don't eliminate them completely. hope that helps you some. also try sparkpeople.com. it's completely free and helps you with weight loss and exercises.

i would personally suggest that cycling would help u keeping intact ur bust and decreasing other body parts....also specific abdominal exercises in the gymnasium would help to reduce ur stomach part rather than bust........hope u go for it..

I am working out from the last 6 years and from my experience i can tell you if you do not want to lose inches from your bust then do exercise and eat healthy but no dieting because that will only make your bust smaller. If you do cardio you tend to loose weight from all over the body and not just from any particular body part and these abs exercises will only help in making you building the muscles and not in reducing inches, that only cardio exercises can do.
