Hi, I'm Eli
I'm 5,4 and a G. My saviour has been Bravissimo! I clothing brand for Cup size D-J in Backsizes 28+. I don't know how popular they are in the US but here in Blighty they're huge and I can honestly say I've never been as comfortable as I am in a bravissimo bra!
They even make pyjama tops that take the stress off your back while you sleep. I have one and would totally recommend it, especially when our backs are taking a beating from the gyming anyway!!
Take a look - http://www.bravissimo.com/
This is a fab group - Thanks for making it!!

Hello, I'm Cortney. I'm 5'4" and 185lbs with a 36 DD bra size. I suffer from on and off again back pain and shoulder pain. I always have problems finding a good fitting bra. Lastly, I wonder how different they are going to look when I meet my weight loss goal. Hopefully by then I will finally figure out where the good bras are and invest in a few, lol.0

Don't wait to invest in a good bra. Seriously, life is so much better when you're in a pretty bra that fits you properly. I'm not sure where you are, but just google your city's name and any of the brands mentioned here to try to find a boutique.0 -
I started 30DS today, which involves a lot of jumping type exercises which I attempted...and then modified to me having to HOLD my boobs while doing them because it hurt so bad
I really need a good exercise bra. Even my normal bras only last a few months before my breasts stretch all the straps to the point of me no longer having any support.
This is me exactly. And then I started getting this awesome pain across the middle of my back, which seems to be from the boob bounces. Sucks to be us, eh? Jillian Michaels just doesn't get it - everyone CAN'T do jumping jacks!0 -

When she made her comment about not modifying jumping jacks, that's when I decided that I hate her. I refuse to do a JM workout because I don't find her motivating... I find her to be rude. I like Chalene Johnson and Debbie Siebers for workouts.0 -
HI!! I'm AmyRenee, 2 names one person, 38 JJ and I weigh 239, (WHICH IS SOOO EXCITING cause this is the first time under 240 since I was a teenager) and I am 5'11" (don't let my picture fool you, I just know how to make a picture look good.
I have always shyed away from trying to lose weight because my breasts are the last.. ABSOLUTE last place I lose weight....but I want to have a healthy heart, so here I am.
On a note about sports bras, I always wear my regular supportive bra, and then I layer it with my WONDERFUL IN LOVE WITH Danskin HEAVY IMPACT sports bra, (WALMART $10) when I did my 5k they were all nicely held in place. and I retain the lace from my regular bra sticking out the top.
My sister did a whole rant on how the NIKE store never cares anything ove ra b cup, but found at the reebok outlet they actual have some cuteish sports bra's i n larger cup sizes.
I swear my breasts weigh like 15 lbs each. UGH0 -
Hi. I'm Sabrina. I'm 5'2" , 120 lbs and 32DD. I have been 100 lbs all my life with D cup. I gained quite a lot of weight this year and I intend to lose the excess lbs before the year ends. I often have difficulties finding my bra size. Thank goodness there's Debenhams!0

Hey Everyone :]
I'm Alexia. I'm five-foot-nothing and 205lbs (doh! >.<). I'm a 38H cup. I've never really had much probably with pain from the weight, except in really unsupportive chairs, but they get in the way ALL THE TIME and especially when I try to work out!

The smallest I ever remember being is back when I was around 13. I weighed 130lbs and even then I was still a DD cup and at 13 we all know they were NOT done growing.
Hi Alexia, have you tried the new sports bra from panache? Style number 5021. An awesome bra for us buxom buddies. tracey x0 -

My poor daughter so wonder she doesnt fall over with hers. She weigh hers too on the scale and hers were 10lbs...Thats crazy...0

Hi everyone!
I'm a shortie, 5'0 and 147lbs just now. I wear a 34E cup just now and hate it, it's so hard trying to find nice designs!
When I was lighter, I was a 30D, so I'm hoping to get back to that and be able to wear all my cute bras again!!0 -
Helloooo ladies!
I'm 21 years old and have size 12 E (Aussie). I HATE them. They are heavy, annoying, they hurt all the time, and I am developing serious back problems. I always walk around hunching my back over. I try to correct it but it hurts more. If I had the money to get them reduced I would.
PS Anyone know of any exercises to downsize them (although I guess we would all have small ones by now if we knew how to do that
And I understand that you can't spot reduce weight in certain areas, just thought I'd ask 0 -
Hi, I see that no one has posted here in a while so I hope someone sees my very first post!
I'm 24, 5ft3 (approx.), 231lbs and a 36K (they were once threatening to be 36L!!).. Despite being on the larger side, I certainly consider myself to be out of proportion when it comes to my breasts. They started growing when I was around 10, I vaguely remember being around a C/D cup? before I left primary school ( yes they grew from a training bra to that in less than a year!) then in my first years of secondary school I had shot up to a F/G cup. Of course they have grown since then and I can no longer wear sports bras since I can't find one. They get in the way of EVERYTHING, not mention they are heavy, awkward and painful! I would get a reduction if I could afford it...
I'm currently placing my hope on the fact that if I can lose enough weight, they will reduce on their own (though surgery is still likely to be on the cards), though no luck yet...:(
Anywho, I would very much like some support/ friendship on MFP, so please add me (I don't have any friends yet).0 -
Hello! I am Emily and a 34F/G. I find bras in general to be pretty uncomfortable, so I don't even put one on if I can avoid it. I found a really good sports bra brand, Panache, and I wear it over "normal" bras. I am looking for ways to shrink my boobs, preferably through non-surgical methods. Power yoga seems to make them firmer but not smaller. I don't know about you, but having big boobs makes me feel so fat! I never want to get dressed up in anything form-fitting, so I usually just throw on some sweats.0

Hi, everyone. Wondering why nobody has posted in so many groups for years. Well, I’ll post anyway.
Before I had my 1st baby, I had a bra that the tag said ‘Almost B’, 😍 34 or 36, I think, & it fit perfectly. (But others were just B & they were OK too.) But pregnancy changed that to C, 😐 then nursing to D½, 🙄 & it wasn’t fat, b/c before I was 130 lbs. or a bit more, & a mo. after having the baby was about 135, & have never needed bigger than 36. W/ the next baby it was up to G, 😓 & shortly after H, 😢 but I do weigh 40 lbs. too much now, b/c I can hardly exercise, from chronic mono, arthritis, & a bad ACL. Still, there’s a lot of firmness. Suspecting it’s at least almost all from milk. 😟 Still nursing, so don’t know what will happen later.
My problem is I can’t find nursing bras that don’t dig in at the front ½ of the band, & don’t curl up under the cups either. And if I made the band looser, it would ride up in the back at least, maybe front too. Any bra that has the band interrupted by underwires, like this shape on the bottom:
―.‿ᨈ‿.―
rides up in front. But I think losing wt will help at least w/ the curling-up prob. since I’m too fat around the middle, apparently pressing on that edge.0
