Do a search on fit buddy for this ? for more info, but I think it's basically chance. You may or you may not. Some people find they get smaller, and others that they stay the same.

Breasts are mostly fatty tissue. Lose fat...you lose some breast size. My wife lost 25 lbs when we first joined FT. She lost breast size. For me it was like getting some strange. I liked it!!

Unfortunately it's inevitable! Since your body doesn’t spot reduce fat, it will dispose of it as it sees fit. How lean are you trying to get? Have you had your body fat taken recently?

Actually, I'm the opposite. While breasts are mainly fatty tissue, they are also fibrous tissue. Even though I've lost 67 lbs so far, I have yet to lose ANY breast tissue.
I guess it all depends on the person.

I forgot to mention...it depends per person's body...but there are also chest exercises to help retain larger/fuller breasts by strengthening the pectoralis muscles behind them.

How do you strengthen the pectoral muscles behind them?

those exercises help pull up the breasts a lil bit...it won't make them larger or fuller...and when losing weight it all depends on where your body is likeliest to store the fat....it will also be likeliest to lose the fat from those places first....and although 67lb sounds like lot how is this relative to your overall weight? some people who need to lose a lot of weight, can loose a relatively large amount and keep their breasts because they 'only' lose 60 out of lets say 120lb they need to lose.....
any pressing movement will work...bench press, dips, flyes, push ups,and variations of these exercises....
for example:
bench press: 15*, 12, 12, 12
incline DB flyes: 15*, 12, 12, 12

I wasn't meaning pec workouts make your breasts bigger - I was talking about making them appear fuller - due to perkiness. "Workouts make your breasts bigger" is a huge urban legend that every teenage girl without breasts wants to believ. Sorry...but perkiness does make breasts look fuller.

excellent original question about breast tissue, because I came to this forum to ask exactly that same thing. I have always been well endowed up top, and now that i'm getting serious about my weight training & fitness I don't want to lose it. I understand that some of it will go, but want to maintain as much up there as possible. Right now i'm a DD, and if i go down to a D/C...that's okay. Are chest exercises the only hope?--i'm a beginner--any suggested workouts for these muscle groups?:surprised:
