I miss the smilies :smile:

Way to go Whosya!!! (yep - I went back and watched Madagascar - too funny on the whosya foosa thing!!)

Lulu - I hope you get you question answered because I'm in the same boat!! or bra lol. I wear the regular plus a tight exercise one to hold everything in. Two shirts plus my zip up coat to help conceal all that's going on when I jog. I'm a 36-38DD right now.

So I did stop by the Sports Academy after the gym this morning, and bought 3 different ones to give a try. The one that looks/feels to be the most supportive is the danskin womans triathalon tri-bra. Little pricey (on sale $34). I'll let ya know Wombat how it works...LOL,

I wear the "Enel" sport bra. Found it after a lot of research. It is amazing....no moving at all when running.

Here's the raving about it that convinced me to spend the $54:

Featured on Oprah and on the TODAY Show.

The folks at SELF magazine say, "Working out can really be painful if you’re not wearing the right bra. For women with a D cup, their breasts can bounce more than 4-1/2 inches while they’re jogging. From all that bouncing, your breast skin stretches, which leads to sagging over the long term. Hands down, this bra tested the best for motion control for larger sizes. Women with a larger-sized chest need substantial fabrics, straps that are at least 1 inch wide, a higher neckline, wider rib bands and a really sturdy cup. This bra really holds you in — you won’t move at all!"

Prevention Magazine October 2003 says "worth every penny"

On Oprah's personal "O List" of a few things she thinks are just great. As Oprah says, "Once you get yourself hooked into this thing, believe me they're not going anywhere."

Real Simple Magazine April 2003 says "Straps won't dig into shoulders and help in controlling bounce... One DD size tester said, "This is the only bra I can do jumping jacks in."

Well, I just started the 10K Learn to Run program through SportMed.

Yesterday was my first training session. 34 minutes of walk/run.

I feel good so far.

In 13 weeks, I will be running (ie:jogging slowly) the Vancouver Sun Run, with my 13 year old daughter who is training with me.:wink2:

I started this morning! YAY!!! I did very well, actually. I was so proud of myself! :rolleyes2: I couldn't believe it. I made up my mind this weekend that I was gonna do it. I was so excited last night about this morning. I can't wait until Thursday to do it again. I can tell I did more than just walk. My knee is a little sore, but nothing major at all.

I am so psyched!!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
