My breasts have gone down a bra size and i haven't lost allot of weight, why? what could cause unintentional weight loss in my chest?

Fat is fat: When you actively lose weight, you burn up fat stores in your body -- and one of the important fat stores in women is their breasts. Try directing your exercise at your abdomen, which is where most women try to lose the weight and increase the muscle.
