    Knee pain.

    Mine are not G cups, but I did get up to a DDD and I found that actually holding on to my boobs while I ran worked really well. However that really only works when I am in my house on the treadmill though :laugh: I can't do that in public.

    Yup...I've tried the multiple sports bras...doesn't work.

    And, I agree that it helps to hold them, but I use the gym at my job and am not going to be doing that there!

    I hate running. Its boring, I am slow and it rips my knees apart. I do realize that there are a ton of people that enjoy jogging/running...please do not be offended. I just hate it.

    My trainer says I'll ruin my knees if I run too much and that running should only be reserved for if someone is trying to kill you. :P
    Bogus. I'd hire a new trainer.

    I run and see no reason or excuse (better word) to not run.

    It hurts but I jogged a mile this week! My hubby said just keep going. Also I imagine fat girl jogging is a sorry sight. But at least I'm not sitting on a bench eating donuts right?

    It would piss my doctor off XD But as soon as I get a bike rack for my car, I will be biking ^^

    Shin splints

    simple solution though: ride a bike. You'll cover more ground in less time and it's less impactful.

    Okay its clear that awesome sports bras need to become the norm instead of the crap we are all currently buying.

    I was running and I liked it but my knees do hurt the next day. I'm probably just too fat to run at this point. I guess I do have a bad knee and I'm only 22. I don't want to make it worse, so I use the elliptical instead. Maybe I can run once I'm skinny so there's not as much weight placed on them. >.<

    The reason I didn't run/jog was because I was making up excuses not to.. Bad on the knees, not a good runner, etc.

    I'm not going to run marathons (or half marathons even) but I actually learned to enjoy it.

    Same, though being unable to run for a few days has left me feeling like crap. We have an 80 year old guy that comes into work every morning and interrupts his coffee breaks by running around town. He probably does 20 miles a day.

    Word.

    I might jog across the street to rent a movie from the RedBox located over there. But if I'm exercising, I'm running.

    it hurts my shins badly but i still do jog a little at a time. i weigh 287 lbs so i have a lot of weight hitting my joints when i jog. but i think that im slowly feeling better afterward (it doesnt hurt as bad when i do it) also i have HUGE boobs and they bounce EVERYWHERE even with my wearing two sports bras. it sucks alot. haha but like i said. i do jog for a minute or two on the treadmill or when im out walkign with the stroller (i dont know what id do if i was alone without either they help support me from tripping over my own two feet.)

    I started running (slowly) at 245 lbs. 3 years later I've lost 90 lbs (up a few due to an injury that happened during my spring marathon). For some of you with shin/knee/leg/back pain the simple solution may be a proper shoe fitting! That can be easily done at a specially running store.

    Even when I don't run, if I'm walking on the treadmill, sometimes my knee hurts. So I must have messed it up somehow during all those years of marching band or tripping over my own feet on the black-top (not sure what else to call it, like a road but not where people drive) at recess. :(
