I just started MFP recently. I figured it would be great to ask all of you what you recommend for a sports bra?
I can't remember the last time I wore just 1 sports bra! I usally where a "clipped" sports bra and then another sports bra over it. I would love to just find ONE sports bra that keeps the gals down when I go jogging!

Recommendations?

    I've found brand doesn't matter so much as price. All the ones I loved were usually $45-60.

    I'm currently using Danskin Adjustable foam sports bra.
    I find it pretty comfy and good support without making my boobs flop around when doing jumping jacks.
    Though I read they run 1 cup too large, but I think it fits fine for my 36C's. I don't think I need a B.

    I love the goddess bra. (I'm a 38G)
    Www.herroom.com has a great selection of "curvy" women's bras.

    Good luck!

    Get yourself an Enell. I LOVE mine (and so does Oprah, it was one of her favorite things). No bounce AT. ALL.

    The other one I was looking at, before I found an Enell and was sold, was a Maia.

    Neither is particularly pretty or cheap and both are rather large (the Enell is almost the size of a tank top), but if you are going for function the Enell is great and I heard good things about the Maia also!

    i have an old one that was great....think www.prettysporty.com....it is that, but they now do sports event photog work too!

    Wore it for the 2003 or 2004 NYC marathon training, race, didn't need 2!! and after all these years it still hasn't stretched!! unbelievable.

    I also double-up on Old Navy, cheap option and the 2nd one on top I can wear again since it doesn't get sweaty, if there's a sale and you get a 10% off, prices can't be beat.

    If you get more than one and pair it w/ a 30% offer code, it ends up pretty cheap per bra. I'm a 48DD, and works great.

    I only have 1 GOOD sports bra & I really do hope that some of this next bit is helpful. I only have the one GOOD sports bra, because the good ones are expensive in general, but especially when you are larger. My good, expensive sports bra came from Macy's and it was $30-$35. Of course the brand name has worn off now, so I can't tell you the name brand. If you look for this bra in the store make sure that you try the one that says "high intensity/performance" (something along those lines).

    Since I invested in that bra my workouts are much better. I have just a little more energy to lengthen and/or intensify my workouts. I am going to have to splurge on another one. It is so worth it! I hope that you find my GOOD bra or something else good that works for you. Best wishes to you as you get healthier. :smile:

    Movingcomfort's Maia bra. Amazing! Best sports bra ever! I did notice though that some women on amazon didn't like it because it also has hooks in the back and they felt they couldn't put it on and then clasp the hooks. I have no prob doing this. Idk. It is like a regular sports bra, but each breast has it's own cup. It has adjustable straps at the shoulders. It has a traditional sports bra back with the addition of a hook closure, which really settles "the girls" in for a comfy run. Lol I love it!!!
