I like Moving Comfort Jubralee. It works by compressing the girls, giving you a uniboob look, but is super comfortable and nothing moves ever. I am wire averse. 44DD.

I second the suggestion to do breaststroke and/or backstroke instead of freestyle at first. I found that I was able to do breaststroke a lot more easily than freestyle when I first started. I've been swimming 3-4 times a week for about 6 months now, I swim 2500 yards/1 hour without much problem. I built up to 1 hour of…

I completed Zombies5K last week and started Zombies Run! I found I flailed a little just doing straight runs - basically, I need someone telling me what to do in order to run longer. So I use RunKeeper in the background with run/walk intervals programmed in.

Maybe you're not running often enough? Most beginning runner training programs have you running 3-4x per week, not twice a week like you are.

Two words: Delusional parasitosis. It's a thing. Google it. Human beings can convince themselves of pretty much anything. On the other hand, threadworms are a real problem, especially in children. We know this because they create specific symptoms, they are visible on physical exam, and under the microscope, and they are…

So glad you've started swimming! It really is great exercise. I started 4 months ago. The first couple of weeks I swam slowly every other day for about twenty minutes. Now I swim 60+ minutes every other day at a medium-fast pace. I don't tend to count laps because I easily lose track. I do alternate between strokes, and…

I love seeing new swimmers who have taken the time to read the swim etiquette rules thoughtfully posted by management in a prominent position. I hate the jellyfish swimmers who I've seen regularly for months who STILL hop in the Medium pace lanes and obstruct people when circle swimming is required due to crowding. I hate…

I'm doing it! 5'9", 289 (was 314). Like you, I started with another aerobic, but non-weight bearing exercise -- serious lap swimming. The shift to running was maybe a little harder than I expected. I had to take 5 days off for shin splints. But I'm on week 4 workout 3 and haven't had to repeat any workouts. It is doable.…

In the "Make no little plans" arena, I want to run a marathon in March 2015. I am planning to run the San Francisco Half Marathon in February. I'm on week 4 of a C25K. I have an ongoing goal of exercising for 45-60 minutes at least 5 days a week, including 3x/week swimming. Knock on wood, I'm on track. Honestly, I'd love…

Honestly, I just use two Champion racer back bras from Target, one on top of another. I'm a 44DD and the XXL fit. I prefer the strapped-down feel for running -- nothing moves.

My BMI puts me well into the morbidly obese category, and I'm over 40 years old, but I've never had any obesity related problems other than PCOS, which is sort of a chicken and egg thing. Now I'm searching for wood to knock on!
