I find the BEST bras for working out (I do boxing) are those that zip up the front. I used to have DD's and got a reduction (before the band) and I still have C's and they too.....ummm.....bounce. The zip in the front bras are AWESOME! I've gotten them from Target before, but I know any large store would have them too (Macy's, JCP, Sears, etc). They are more expensive at places like REI and Sportsmart though.

Hope this was helpful - sorry no links. I just know the "type" of bra that has worked for me in the past - forgot where I actually got them.

Best of luck to you!

:mad:

I like the enell bra. They are a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I got mine for $50, but I've spent $20-25 on everyday bras for support. The girls don't move in the enell.

After trying countless sports bras I've learned that, as someone with a lot to handle up top, the best work out bra for me is one that has separate cups, rather than the "uni-boob" style sports bra. I bought a Freya Active Underwire about three months ago and I LOVE IT. Honestly, it is amazing--I am actually able to go running now and not even worry about bounce at all.

Now, I got mine during a bra sale at Nordstrom, so I got a good deal--otherwise I think it's kind of pricey ($60-$80 range, I think). But it WORKS. Worth the investment in the long run for sure!

I just purchased a Natori sports bra at Nordstroms. $42.00 but it holds the girls in and it doesnt give me a uniboob either. :-)

I have been playing sports ALL my life and working out...I find the best thing that holds me down...I double up on sports bras. I buy one a size smaller and then I put a bigger one on over. It holds me down very good. I have 42 D's and they don't move. OR I have a cotton bra with no underwire and I wear a sports bra over it. I played volleyball for years and it's the only thing that helped me from hurting them! And I do step class and they don't bounce. :seeya:)

I find the SHOCK ABSORBER D MAX bras are simply fantastic! I am pretty busty and these bras just hold everything in place and no strain or bounce.

I think with bras you get what you pay for, and ESPECIALLY with sports bras. Perhaps you dont need to pay ridiculous amounts but I personally wouldnt go to Target to buy one either.

We have different brands here, but Berlei and Triumph both make really good ones.

I've only ever bought separate cup ones, never tried a crop top style, they'd have to compress DARN hard to work well though. I thinks cups and underwires are the way to go.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
