BOOB! Sucks to run with them!

So, I have a rather large chest. I always have since I hit puberty, and now that I have put on weight they just get bigger and bigger.
I actually just got dressed to get ready to workout and I have to wear a TIGHT sports bra (NIKE) a slim fit heat wear Adidas dri fit shirt (tight) and over it I'll wear a loose fitting shirt or something. So I have two questions:
1) Anyone else have the same boob problem as me? If you do (I'm a size 38(G) can you recommend a supportive sports bra?
2) Has anyone lost some or all of their boob fat after losing some weight?
Any information that you can provide would be helpful!

I lost quite a bit of boob. I used tohave to use several tight sports bras to keep them from giving me black eyes when running. NOW I'm able to use ONE decent fitting one and run just fine. I went from a 38DD that was FAR too tight to a 34D, so not as big as you, but slimming down helped me with the boobage issues.0

I'm a 38DD and feel your pain. I HIGHLY recommend Shock Absorber sports bra.0

1) I'm a 34GG right now, so yes, I have the same problem! Shock Absorber and Panache are my favorite most supportive sports bras.
2) I carry most of my weight in my chest/upper back so it's the last place that I lose fat. Even at my absolute thinnest, I was still a DDD.0 -
You don't need to run to burn calories (unless you really enjoy it). There are plenty of other options like biking, swimming, lifting etc.0

I wear a regular under-wire bra with a sports bra on top. It minimizes movement and doesn't give you the uni-boob look like the sports bras usually do.0
-
I've discovered Moving Comfort bras. I really like them. I"m a 38DDD.
Keep looking and trying them on. Running stores, REI and Title IX have a good selection online.
And yes, I lost weight in my chest. And the more I lift weights - the better they look and feel.0 -
OMG I just was walking the other day and popped the darn sports bra strap. LOL I can't run asthma. But seriously, I was walking darn girls are so heavy they broke it...0

I have the same problem. I didn't so much get bigger when I gained weight but I definitely did when I had kids. I was told that they would go down again when I was done breast feeding but they didn't. At my largest I was a 40G. I have lost 56 lbs in the last two years and am at the lowest weight I have been for over 10 years. I have lost a little bit of my chest. I am down to a 38 DD (though I think I need to get remeasured because I think I might be a 36 now). I think it really depends on what your families sizes are and what you were before you gained the extra weight. I was a 36 C in high school so I don't think I will get lower than that.
I am glad to see the recommendations for sports bras. I haven't found one that will work yet but I will look into them. I don't run but I do Zumba and some of the jumping make the girls hurt. lol0 -
I started running at a DD, and I just wore a regular minimizer bra. I don't seem to jiggle very much when I run unless I'm going balls to the wall running speed intervals. I have lost quite a bit of boob...enough that I have no idea what size I wear now and need to go get fitted. :grumble:0

I have 34DDD tatas and have found at Bali underwire bras give me the best support. The stay separated and the bounce is minimal. I ride horses a lot at a trot and I run a bit. Before these bras I did the double sports bras and expensive ones but none of them worked as well as these department store, reasonably price Balis.0

Got the same problem!!0

When I started losing weight I thought it would solve my "boob problem" but unfortunately it hasn't yet. I went down from a 46J to a 36J, so I did lose some bulk but my back was losing at a faster rate than my chest so I did not go down in cups. I find doing things that require jumping or running to be extremely uncomfortable. I tried wearing 2-3 bras but that just makes me feel like I'm wearing a corset. Not exactly how you want to feel when you are doing something that requires movement.
My solution was to buy a cross trainer for the cardio part instead of the treadmill I was planning to buy. Working at higher resistances gives me a pretty good sweat without having to deal with my boob problem.0 -
I'll hold those for you.0
-
I feel your pain.... I wear a regular bra and a sports bra to workout.............No matter how much i workout mine never seem to get smaller..... To those who saw a decrease in boob size when they started working out................Please tell me what workouts you did....................0

My breasts are out of CONTROL. For every 1lb I gain, I seem to put half of it towards boob. Currently a 36/38 G or H. I exclusively shop at Bravissimo (which you can buy online anywhere in the world, shipping is just a little more). I bought a sports bra on sale there about four years ago and it still works great! Of course I haven't been exercising much for all 4 years, but I am 20lbs heavier and it still fits. It's VERY tight and doesn't move/ride up. It has upper and lower clasps at the back, so it's not taking all the weight of your boobs on one area. It doesn't eliminate bounce 100%, which I think is impossible without cutting off blood supply, but I can barely tell I have boobs while I'm working out, which is awesome it's also machine washable. Cannot recommend Bravissimo enough.0

I'm a DD, so not as big as you but I like the Glamorise Women's Double-Layer Custom-Control Sport Bra, it's like 2 bras in one without the extra bulk of a second bra. I haven't lost enough weight to know if they'll get smaller but they got bigger when I gained so I'm REALLY REALLY hoping they do!!!0
-
It does get better! I'm a 40G and I use panache, but on top of my bra. I mean you gotta do what you gotta do! But definitely can't go without my sports bra. It's really good.
I think my boobs are getting smaller though because the sports bra fits a bit looser than when I bought it, or maybe it's just that I gotta go down to 38G, but one way or another I think your boobs do get smaller (and hope!).0 -
VICTORA SECRET has some amazing sports bras that still give you shape! The have DD! I LOVE THEM!!!0
-
Not anymore, lost a good chunk of my boobs along with the weight. I'm not complaining mind you as I prefer it this way.
Anyways, invest in a good quality sports bra...those things are awesome. I have the Nike brand sports bras.0 -
My 16 year old daughter is a 34JJ and we tried all kinds of sports bras last year for her for PE, finally we found that the Wizard of Bra's (just google it) offers a line of sports bras that work great. She has since gone from 160 lbs to 120 lbs and her bra size is now a 34DDD so we still need to get her the specialty bras to run but now we can get them from Bravissimo.0

I have a good sports bra from Marks and Spencer's it's high impact and seems to do the trick, I'm a 34G and haven't lost any boob with my weightloss as of yet0
-
Forgot to add. If you are going for the double bra, try glamorise magic lift. They give that funny cone shape but a sports bra on top eliminates that. Just get it one band size smaller and you will be amazed. Plus it's cheap!0
-
All I saw was boobs and suck and I got distracted...
If you gained size as you gained weight, you will lose size as you lose weight. How weight dependent your breast size is is all up to genetics and where you store fat. Some women don't lose anything at all, some lose it all from their boobs first.
edit: My GF actually likes the Champion bras, but she doesn't run in them and isn't quite as big.0 -
I'm a D and I double up. I wear a regular bra with a sports bra. Champion is a really good tight fitting brand. Good luck0
-
My wifes are considerable larger than yours. I bought her a "steel stretch" compression shirt. She loves it.0
-
glad to see some sports bras I can try thanks !!!0

I've used Shock Absorbers for years, they have different levels for different sports, I always get level 4.
They're pricier here in the UK, but so worth it. I started out 40HH and I'm now a 32G, but I've always had a to buy a back size larger in this brand of bra than usual.0 -
I used to be a 36E and couldn't run (or was just really uncomfortable), which is my favorite cardio, but a couple of years ago I got a reduction. However, here are some tip I learned along the way; use 2 to 3 sports bras (a Pamela Anderson tip from an interview years ago) which really works well for any high impact activity. If not, walking uphill at the steepest incline on a treadmill at a slower pace is as effective, or sometimes more than running which is little to no boob bounce. I love my reduction though.0
-
Yes.
Bras are nice. Working out without running is nice too.0
