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!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
