Title: Binding after weight loss

I recently started eating healthier and weight-lifting. In the past 3 weeks, though I have seen no weight loss on the scale, I have seen definite fat loss in my abdomen. Prior to all this, binding was easy... even if I couldn't get my chest flat, it didn't really show because my belly always protruded, so I just looked like any other fat guy. I'm wondering, however, how well this is going to work once I've lost a lot of weight. My chest is about 38B-C right now... I don't know if smaller binders will be sufficient. I know there are a lot of thinner guys on here... anyone have any experience with this? Is it just as easy to bind if you're skinny?

I'm generally small with a big chest (36DD) I look like I have big built up pecs and then scrawny arms and everything when I bind...it's odd looking. I can't wear short sleeves and I have to hide everything in baggy clothes or I just look ridiculous. Your cup size isn't as big as mine though and with working out they should shrink at least a little, so you should be fine :)

God sometimes I wish I didn't have such a flat stomach, it just makes your chest more prominent comparing. Everything is proportional, if you're skinny with a flat stomach, your chest needs to be perfectly flat or at least look that way for it to work.

"Being thin and beatiful has its own special pain . . . *breathy sigh*"
Okay, it really is harder for skinny people to bind effectively. A stockier guy can pass them off as muscles or fat man tits, but for skinny people with no muscles like me, they make you look downright womanly. In the long run, though, this is better for me because I don't want to be big or fat or muscular. And even for those who don't want to be delicate and feminine looking, it is still nice to have a flat stomach once the chest matches.

I think the real question is, "How do skinnier guys with large chests bind successfully?" because you're weight does play into your breast size.
I'm small, but so is my chest. I'm barely an A the last time I measured and I'm willing to bet that has to do with me being so thin. I often see women complain that when they lose weight, they also lose a cup size and whatnot. So, I wouldn't be surprised if you lose some weight from your chest as you work out.
The reasoning why you don't appear to be losing weight on the scale is because muscle weighs more than fat. It's heavier, but you'll probably notice the muscle visually.
I don't know, I don't have a binder. However, with my breast size I don't think I'd be much help as it would be easier for me to make my chest flat.
