I saw a woman changing into her workout gear in the gym the other day. She changed INTO a pretty, lacy, underwired bra. WTF? Granted, she only had small boobs, but even so, good support is really important.

 

That's a bit weird... unless she does like me and overlays that with a sports bra. xD I have strapless bras that I wear under a cheap sports bra at work to hold everything in place (small boobs though, probably wouldn't try it if you've got ample baggage!) because I've never found a sports bra (cheap or expensive) that I've really liked. 

 

Edit: I don't jog or do many violent movements - only yoga and fast walking around work - so it probably wouldn't work for running or other stuff. :P

my first thought was, maybe its her version of remindiing herself of her motivation? She wants to stay wearing that pretty bra and so if she works out she wont gain, or if working out (for her) is about vanity and that bra makes her boobs look great and she has very little to jiggle in the first place, its a win win for her.

I made that same disclaimer in my picture. Super-duper sports bra. I'm definitely bigger than my picture shows. Have you tried an Enell sports bra? I always needed to wear two bras until I got one of these. Pretty? No. Absolutely effective? Yes. I feel like an Enell evangelist, but they really are awesome. Changed my whole exercise experience.

Never heard of Enell but I am so looking into that! :o

That's not necessarily true.... genetics plays a lot into it. .. my biological father was a bean pole and he was in the army and did pt all the time and had a terrible time keeping weight. .... he was over six feet ands less than 140 for his entire adult life. ... the stories of his exploits at restaurants were amazingly astronomical. .... from what family members tell me (he died when I was 7) he CONSTANTLY ate and exercises

 

Ah a valid point, but I think there has been enough proof that with enough exercise and good food it's possible up to a certain point. He should still see good progress if he keeps it up even as a hardgainer :D

I'm not saying he WON'T see gains. .... he's just built more like a gymnast that Arnold. ... he probably won't look like Arnie without roids.... and that's ok because he's strong as a team of horses ;)

I'll have to get a pic of him while hiking. ... he can scramble like a money up the rocks while wearing a 35# pack (for comparison MY pack (and I'm 2.5x his weight) usually tops out around 35-40# AFTER all my food and whatever).... and he COULD carry a lot more but I won't let him [emoji14]

Yeah I think one of those is probably true. It's sort of motivating when I go to the gym and see all the young, pretty women doing their vanity workouts and leaving with every hair in place and barely a bead of sweat. I walk out drenched and the colour of a tomato! I work HARD in the gym. Forgive me a little smugness.

All the comments about boobs, and you single THAT ONE out as "worthless without pics?"

 

You ain't right, boy; not at all

Boobs are all over the internet, and this thread as well... how many kids pulling horse teams can you find?

Got to the Catskills there is a group of Amish there. Get those kids to do it.

And is it weird I kinda like wearing my sports bra, even when I'm not working out? It's just that comfortable.

Probably similar to why some guys like wearing boxer briefs instead of boxers. :-)

On I guess somewhat of a similar notenote I think, I saw the beginning what I believe is an ab. I have no reference since I've never had abs or not blubber (secretly a narwhal).

I wear one almost all the time too, bc well...I'm fat and have little boobs there are VERY FEW bras that are my band size and my cup size (like seriously 3-4 brands and none are even remotely cheap) and I can buy 3 sports bras that fit for $15 and they are super comfy, and I have one or two of those nicer more expensive bras for when I have to go do something and dress nicer than jeans and tshirts...but my everyday is a sports bra, and it works bc I don't have anything that is super jiggly that isnt a fat roll! LOL!

This is something I've had a problem with for a long time. I was a really husky kid in middle school (to the tune of 17X lbs), and that built up a lot of self consciousness that I've been trying to shed for a long time. I took these pictures at the beginning of the year because my SO always makes a big deal when I dress up for stuff (it doesn't happen often), but I never really feel like I look the way I know logically I do.

Anyway, I don't know where exactly I'd find a picture of someone else that I could compare to, because mentally I'm still way outta touch with what I actually look like.
