    The gals on Biggest Loser wear the Enell brand and that's what I have. It works wonderfully!

    When I run I have to wear 2. The first one is really tight and the 2nd one is really supportive. It's almost like not having boobs at all! LoL

    Good brand name doesn't mean anything for me. I have Nike ones and it's like they are strictly for fashion, that's why I layer it with a Victoria's Secret one.

    Try two sports bras. That's what I do, it's made a big difference :).

    Thanks I will try this before I spend big money on a good sports bra...if I can use the ones from walmart it will save me some money!

    Do what I do - wear a "regular" bra under a tight sports bra. Then wear a workout top with a built-in shelf bra. All in all, you're wearing 3 layers of support, and really only having to buy 1 bra (the workout top and regular bra you probably already have!).

    I'm a 42G and can't find a sports bra big enough that will hold the girls...I know, I know...I just wear my regular bra and hold the girls with my arms (shrug)

    OK so I started jillian michaels 30 day shred yesterday and have found out I need to invest in better sports bras. Jumping jack are not for fat people with big boobs and crappy sports bras. Had to learn the hard way tho I suppose....now to recover.....

    I always wear 2 sports bras when I work out. I bought them both at Target so I didn't spend too much $$$ on them. The first one I put on is seamless because I have actually chaffed so bad from a seam I wore the skin off on the underside. I didn't really feel it until I got in the shower and the water hit it. OUCH!!! The second one really helps control the girls a little better.

    I find a good sports bra and one of those workout tank tops that have the built in support really hold the girls inplace for me!

    I've tried sports bras from SheActive, some from Sweatshop, and my last few from eBay. The SheActive and Sweatshop bras £20+, while the eBay ones were about £5. They're brilliant; very supportive.:D These ones; --> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150547075160&var=450017965509&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

    That said, I'm not sure how well they'd work for larger ladies. I'm a 34C.

    Incidentally, sports bra pros and cons (considering I wear them for a krav maga class which is me and twenty blokes);

    Pros
    - reduced bounce.

    Cons
    - Nipples clearly visible when cold.

    I dont think I am very cold when I exercise so I guess the visable nipples wouldnt be a problem for me LOL!!!

    My co worker wears her regualar bra and a sports bra but she buys her sports bra a size smaller so it fits more snug. I wear a sports bra with a built in sports bra on my workout shirt. I just bought 2 Danskin sports bras from Walmart yesterday for 9.84ech, they're really comfortable and snug fitting. Good luck

    Check Ebay, sometimes they have 'flawed' ones on there cheaper. Like the sizing might be wrong or there's a minor defect. I got mine on Ebay for $38 and I can't even tell what the 'flaw' is. Be sure to check the description in case the sizing is wrong. Oh and I'd also recommend buying a size or two smaller than what you think you need. I bought a size 5 and needed a smaller size within a month. Bought a 3 that was very tight when I first got it but now it's perfect. They are supposed to be super tight anyway, you have to tuck and hook, tuck and hook....LOL

    I know what you mean. Thankfully, my mom has some type of stretchy harness/wrap thing she bought from Bally's years ago. I told her it was a national emergency (okay so I exaggerated a bit, lol) and that I needed to use it for workouts. I think it's supposed to go around your stomach but I use it to hold my boobs down.

    I was thankful that she had it because during my workouts my boobs were flapping around like an American flag on a windy day. :noway:
    I suggest buying some sort of bandage wrap to hold yours down. Believe me, it is an awesome feeling when you are jumping around and your boobs aren't flying in the opposite direction from the rest of your body.

    Ya gotta love being roughed up by your own boobs. I nearly got a black eye! (I kid, I kid!) I did get smacked around though! I still do whenever I do any kind of high impact movements. I don't have a sports bra!
