Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I have used tofu. I use the silken low-fat tofu. I have had some bad experiences with it and some good. The bad were when I used too much and also used a banana--my shakes ended up so thick that I practically gagged on it. It takes some experimenting to get it right. I am also large-chested. I like the Lily of France sports bras. They have some that have underwire. I know that many nursing moms avoid underwire but when I was nursing they didn't cause problems. I find these bras to be very supportive. I got them at Kohls for under $30. It's the " In Action " bras: http://www.lilyoffrance.com/styles/sport.asp Good luck! > > So, my question, has anyone used underarmour brand, > or recommend a great support bra for large chested women that won't > break the bank, like $50 and under? > > Also, a nutrition question...has anyone used tofu as a good source > of protein?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 No, I've never tried that brand, but here's my favorite everyday bra that has enough support for exercising: http://www.biggerbras.com/exquisite-form-fully-bras/exquisite-form-fully-cotton-\ lace-bra-535-exq-535.shtml Don't know how big you are, but it goes up to 46DD. I'm a 34C, so I can't really tell how it would be in the larger sizes. They sell these at Sears and Mervyns, but they're cheaper and have a better size selection on this website.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Here¹s where I get my sports bras. http://tinyurl.com/yacmay They¹re very helpful if you call them. I¹ve been getting stuff from them for years. They¹re helpful, non-judgmental and when it¹s all said and done, they¹ll wish you luck on your journey. > Hi, I'm a new member and just starting the BFL program.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 WalMart sells a great cotton sports bra. Sizes go into the double D's and they are mostly cotton. The underwiring is on the outside of the bra. I've been wearing them for a few years and haven't found anything else better. They're under 20 bucks and you can't beat that. Brand name is BestForm. > > Hi, I'm a new member and just starting the BFL program.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful suggestions on sports bras...now I've got plenty to try on and I know I won't be wasting my time. Tried a protein shake today with tofu rather than powder....I liked it!! frozen banana, small handful frozen berries, 1/4 block of tofu, fiber powder, splenda, small amt of skim milk. I also took a " power walk " for 30 mins in the snow...we have 13 inches here in MO. Won't do it again, I fell down and went boom. I have had a wicked headache today, probably because of lack of sugar. But, I haven't been pushing the H2O like I should. I set out a big lidded jug on the kitchen counter that I will fill in the am, 60 oz, with the goal of drinking it all. Tomorrow, treadmill and weightlifting DVD. Motivated!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 , Be careful in that snow and ice!! Where in the MO state are you located? I'm over on the IL side but not too terribly far from STL. Fortunately I lucked out and the storm went just north of us. I'm feeling bad for all the folks without power from it though. - > I also took a " power walk " for 30 mins in the snow...we have 13 inches > here in MO. > Motivated! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 In my opinion, you absolutely can't find a more comfortable yet very supportive bra than the Champion Double Dry Distance Underwire Bra. It sells for $39 and right now, their web site has free shipping. So comfortable and reasonably priced. The cups are nice and roomie the bra fits well across the back, LOTS of quality fabric, and I can run in this one! I am a 36 D (with implants) so I want my girls well supported for high impact activities. What is the name of your weightlifting DVD? Good luck!

Also, a nutrition question...has anyone used tofu as a good source of protein? I can't stand the taste of protein shakes and I heard some advice to use tofu in the shake instead of protein powder. Advantages: it's tasteless, high in protein, and lower in calories. I am open for any advice, especially on ways to keep motivated. Right now, my main goal (and a difficult one for me) is to make exercise a daily habit. Help would be appreciated, thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 We live in the IL side too, near Belleville. I actually found Target to have awesome zip front Sports bras, but I am somewhat petite (C cup) I am not sure if they have a great range of sizes. But if you can find the size you need, they are SOOOOOO comfy!! ~Jess wrote: I'm on the IL side of the river. Its about an hour drive (w/o snow and ice) for me to St. Louis.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 If you live on the east side of belleville (anywhere near the college or the fountain) then you live 45 minutes from me (Carlyle). That means your about an hour and ten minutes from the other girl who lives in Salem, IL. Being in Belleville, are you using a local gym or working out at home? If your using a gym, which one and how do you like it? - > > I don't know where those places are but I live near Belleville, IL (We moved here from California recently) > > ~Jess > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
