So...I'm feeling pretty good, I'm not smoking, I'm down 42lbs, exercising, and I want to start running. Right now I'm on the search for the perfect sports bra, it's a must.

Any beginners tips, from experienced runners?

I have a sleeved friend who's a runner now. she says she used the ones from Old Navy, but says she's small chested. She recommends getting fitted at Luke's Locker or whatever running store you may have where you live.

I'm a runner and Champion has always done me well in terms of sports bras. Sometimes, you can even catch a good special. Have them send you a catalog.

Moving Comfort Woman's Fiona Bra! It holds everything in place.

Champion brand from Target is awesome

I'm a large breasted gal and I "double bag" it. A sports bra and a tank top w/sports bra

I buy most of my work-out stuff from Target cause I'm going thru sizes fast. Target has a great selection of bras and other workout gear.

I want to run too. I'm going to follow the couch to 5k running plan. www.coolrunning.com

There are also apps for your phone for C25K that you can use your own music with and it will beep over it when it's time to change.

Yes! Heavy duty apps is the BEST! I use 10K runner and I'm looking forward to getting the 10k to half marathon app! I play my music, run the app, and run Nike +gps! Yeah, it sort of drains the battery, but IMO it is SO worth it.

I highly Reccomend the Shock Absorber brand. I've never had a sports bra as good as it is since I started running.

I am still 40 DD and I am on week 5 of C25K I use Marika Magic. I got it at Marshalls and its amazing. They have adjustable hook and eye straps, and adjustable on the side. I got mine at Marshall's for 15.00 bucks. I've tried everything and that seems to hold up the girls best.

we're in the same boat! I am down 46lb and want to start running. I just finished week 1 day 3 of c25k.. so far I feel great! can't wait to start week 2 on Sunday! good Luck!!
