    I'm not as big as all you... I was!! But after 55+ lbs gone - sadly the girls are gone- but ditto for below... even now... bra and a tank with built in bra, then short or long sleeved shirt... keeps the girls in place for me!

    L
    I'm the same size. I usually wear two sports bras then a tight fitting tank with a built in bra. I know its probably not the answer you were hoping for, but its been working for me!

    Honestly I havent found anything that works yet but wearing multiple ones at the same time. I do not have any underwire sportbras but do wear more than one at a time for support.

    This. I have bought the 3-pack of Fruit of the Loom cotton sports bras from Wal-mart and worn 1, 2, or all 3 of them based on the activity I'm doing. They are matching colors and have different styles (racerback, thin strap, etc.) that fit on top of each other and look decent together.

    I never use an underwire sports bra. I just use a very tight one that won't allow for much movement.

    I'd love to get a really nice sports bra like Freya or Goddess, but don't want to spend that kind of money until I reach my goal weight. You definitely want to get the right kind of bra for your level of exercise. I purchased a Lily of France In Action bra at Kohl's for about $20. It's just perfect for my jogging. It does have an underwire, but it is so well padded that I don't even notice it. No jiggling here. BTW - I'm a 36DD.

    I'm 38 F sometimes 40Es. Every bra style is different and while I wear under wire in most of my everyday bras I do not own one sports bra with wire. I recently purchased two different styles of Anita active bras from Macy's.com. I also got two Moving Comfort Jubralee sports bras. I went to a running store to get measured and they ordered several different sizes. I came back for a fitting and bought the size that worked for me. DO NOT STOP UNTIL YOU GET A GOOD SUPPORTIVE BRA! Irreversible breast sag in the name of getting fit is NOT the way to go. I hope you find something that works for you soon.

    I wear the shock absorbers - might be a UK brand though but I would highly recommend them.

    I have had a ton of trouble with bras and working out. i actually had cuts on the bottom of my breasts from the bras rubbing. now i use one full support underwire bra, i put a sportsbra over top of that. that tends to hold them down. but there is still some rubbing. so i bought body glide- i put it on under my breasts and then put on the bras and now i finally have no issues.

    36D and moving comfort fiona bra is amazing. I used to do the bra then sports bra trick but god damn do those dig in. After doing a ton of research, I found that the best thing is to have each breast encapsulated, because it protects the "root" tissue (I believe that's the term they use) from breaking down, whereas bras that just hold your breasts as one mass (tubeboob) actually allow the the breast tissue to damage more at the base, eventually possibly leading to tissue degradation and saggy boobs. I got the white one on amazon on sale to try it out (blah white) for $28, before splurging on pretty colors, but I'd say it's worth it. The straps are also pretty awesome with quick-adjust velcro in the front so you can actually reach it.
    Good luck!

    I really like the Champion compression bra. They sometimes have them at Target.

    My absolute favorite (I'm a 40DD) is Fiona from Moving Comfort. I got mine on amazon for like 28 bucks, and it's brilliant. When I first got it I felt it and had no hope what so ever...it seems flimsy...no underwire, etc...but omg it works amazingly well!

    edited to add: I almost always (used to) wear 2...but that one I only need the one...Highly Highly reccomend

    ^^^ This!

    I like the selection at sports authority. IMO you need to spend at least 50$, a good sports bra for someone bustier than average is pricey.

    Also wearing two seems to help some women.

    if you are in the UK, i recommend Shock Absorber bras. Im a 40F/38G and am extremely sporty... these bras are AMAZING, i haven't knocked myself out yet with a boob bounce so they work ;) can be fairly expensive, i usually get mine off ebay, or when they are at a reduced price and get 3 or 4 at once lol

    Are you talking about the originl Tata Tamer or the Tata Tamer II? I really, really need to get a bra I can run in and they look good, but I haven't heard any comments about them. Do you know if they come in a 30DD or 30E?
