New to everything- so need help!

Well I know nothing about sports bras as I could go completely without and be just fine, lol. But I know all about lazy and needing motivation. So I'm going to send you a friend request! MFP rocks and helps you stay on your game. Track, track, track!!

Can't help you with the sports bra, but stay honest with yourself and MFP. Record everything you eat and your exercise, be accurate with quantities. Eat healthy foods (MFP will help you keep track,) and you will succeed. I find keeping careful track not only keeps me honest, but provides real motivation. Good luck!

I'm new too. Taylor, you sound just like me:) I am so tired of being achy, waking up achy, going to bed achy, spending all day being achy. I need help too. My family is supportive of me...but they tend to complain very loudly when they get cravings. My husband has the dairy craving, and my one son craves breads. We all have decided to try paleo. I just get tired of the food prep. My day already starts at 5am... Anyway, I need to quit whining. I am here for support, because I am great at starting things, but never finishing them. I need support from others who are in the same shape as me, those that have improved, and those that are eating the same as me. I promise to wake up every morning committed to this lifestyle change. Anybody with me?

Welcome! On the sports bra definitely look for one that says it is for "High Impact". Even if you don't plan on doing anything high impact right now it will give you more support. Some brands actually have them so that there are 2 separate cups more like a normal bra and those tend to be more supportive also. Under Armor makes some really nice ones, they are kind of spendy but well worth it. They give you the support you need and hold up well. I would personally stay away from the ones that zip down the middle, I would worry about the zipper rubbing and I have also seen them them "stick" a lot.


Good luck in everything. Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like too.

I would worry about the exercise more than the sports bra.

I would try to do some light weighted exercises daily.

Some body squats, dumbell squats, dumbell lunges etc.

If you have weak ankles, then consider a stationary bike, or eliptical.

30-45 minutes of cardio a day + a low calories diet will do you wonders!

I too am very "voluptuous" lol :P I do have a hard time finding sports bras that fit. I actually found mine at Olympia Sports, so you might want to try there! I DO believe you can do this because you have taken the first step to losing weight by creating an account on MyFitnessPal. As far as the running, I can't run because my legs try to go in one direction, and my knees try to go another, so it doesn't work for me. What I do instead is either use an eliptical machine, which is a much more fluid movement with less impact stress, or ride a bike, or just walk at a faster pace. Do you have a dog? Go for a brisk walk with your pal - s/he will help to motivate you to keep going because, let's face it, dogs are tireless! I have also had a hard time finding an exercise routine that I can stick to easily, which obviously makes weight loss a lot more difficult. Last week I bought a few yoga and pilates DVDs and I LOVE it so much! I do my yoga every morning (and sometimes at night if I feel up to it), and I already feel so much stronger in my abs, back, and legs. Just try a variety of different things, and find what works for you!

Llama's first thing ni the morning?

It's going to be a nice day make it a good one every1;)

I am not that busty.. but I do not like for my boobs to move at all when I am working out so I wear my normal bra and a sports bra on top of that.. (that's just me)... and as far as the shoes make sure you get a least 1 size bigger and then put some insoles in them for extra support. Make sure its a cross trainner shoe... asics, nike, new balance... brooks..

Good luck!
