If I go on a diet and try to tone up and lose about 10 pounds, will my boobs shrink as well??

The answer is, "maybe". It depends largely on where your body store it's fat. You will, inevitably lose some fat there. The good news is that when you're in better shape and you stand taller, your chest appears firmer and more prominent. I had lost over 30 lbs. at one time in my life and though my bra size was smaller, several close friends commented that my chest seemed more "obvious", mostly due to my improved posture. Doing chest exercises like bench press and push-ups tightens the muscles under the breast tissue and gives the breasts a forward push, and slight upward lift. Also, when your waist is smaller, your chest seems bigger. Overall, you will probably be quite pleased with the results.

They may a little but toneing up will help and you only want to lose 10 pounds.

Ten pounds isn't much, so probably not. But it depends on what sort of exercise you do, too - if you do lots of those butterfly lifts and build chest muscle, they might shrink a bit. If you're doing aerobics and leg exercises, you'll more likely lose it in your legs.

If they got bigger when you gained that last ten pounds, then they'll probably get smaller when you lose ten pounds. But a ten-pound overall loss shouldn't have a huge impact on your cup size. If you're lifting weights to tone up, make sure you work the pectorals to help support the breast tissue.

I would guess it is the same as wen a guys penis shrinks when cold. Reduced blood flow to the area. But I am in no way sure. This is just a guess.

Maybe because they are made up of fat, however with bench pressing you can also tone the area so you will gain a firmer breast. Your boobs will be just fine

You will lose weight all over, so you may lose some breast size, but not significantly. Toning up and losing weight will look and feel great. Be sensible and good luck.

Yes. My neice asked me if I had breast reduction. Funny, because they look the same too me. But they are and have always been really big. I know they have gone down because I can button some shirts that I hadn't for quite some time.
Yes!

Not by losing just 10 lbs.

I think it depends on your structure... If your boobs are composed of some fat... then most likely you might lose weight there... but if they're naturally breasts then probably not... Just wear a sports bra.
