    I went to a Brassiere/corset shop spent $40 on a running bra. BEST thing I ever did. So comfortable and supportive. I actually want to wear it all the time. B)

    That's what the one I got at Athleta cost, and yes - I wear it for more than working out. And they're actually attractive. I can also wear it without a tank top if I get really sweaty.

    Enell sports bras.. They keep those suckers in place... Expensive but totally worth it.

    Check out their sports bras. They can be expensive. A couple even have bounce test videos! You can view reviews from women with YOUR bra size/chest size for each bra and they make returns/exchanges super easy!

    I bought a sports bra at target when I first started my weight loss journey. It was a size XXL, I wore a 44 DDD! The sports bras at target run very small. My breasts were popping out from the sides.
    Now, 77 pounds down, it still fits, but it's very, very loose. I went to Walmart and bought 2 size medium thick stretch sports bras and I wear all 3 with a very tight tank top and my breasts stay in place and I can run faster and also do my High knees in Insanity.
    Just double up on the bras and wear a very tight tank top or shirt and you'll be fine. :)

    if you've lost that much weight i can GUARANTEE it does not fit. what is your rib cage measurement? your bust measurement? get those two numbers and go to breakoutbras.com to figure out your actual size. DDD is not the biggest cup size out there, they're just the biggest available in common retail stores, so a LOT of people are misled to believe they're a 44DDD when they might be a 40H.

    Believe it or not Danskins has a high impact one that I use quite a bit. I buy them super tight. Also, I have been known to wear two sports bras or a sports bra over a regular one because I cannot stand a lot of movement when im running every morning

    Also, I get them 1-2 sizes too small.

    Target has a C9 line by Champion that has some high support models. They are reasonably priced too--under $25.

    Seconding this. I layer one of their sized ones (36DD) under a stretchy (M) one, and have found this to be more supportive than the Lululemon one. (Which was three times the cost.)

    I'm a 36DD and have several different ones from Under Armor and Nike. They have to be high impact and fit snug when you put them on. I tried regular sports bras and they were painful to run in. It was the best money I spent when I switched to a high impact bra. Invest... you'll be glad you did.
