Any suggestions on good work out gear?



Recommended Posts

I hope this isn't a repeat from any previous posts but I'm wondering if anyone has found any decent work out gear that would help out with excess skin or just hanging parts? Or to be blunt would help avoid some of the flopping around! I feel like it makes my work outs a lot more uncomfortable wearing super loose clothes but before I spend the money to buy something different I figured I would ask. I just started the beachbody T25 exercise program and there is a lot of jumping involved. Thanks for any advice!!!

I like the Old Navy compression shorts and capris. They keep your jiggly bits super tight, even when running. They are reasonably priced and have sales quite often.

I wear yoga pants and a t shirt. But it's best to wear what ever is most comfortable for you. When you go to the gym you see all sorts of gym wear, but my best advise is what's comfy for you will work best for you!

I like the gear at JC Penny, ditto on tight fitting capri/yoga pants, I usually wear a sports tank with a built in bra, I need the extra support from the regular bra + built in bra. I do prefer pants that come up higher to hold the belly roll in, but they are harder to come by.

I like the workout gear at both JCPenney and Old Navy, but my most important item is my bra: Bali Comfort Revolution Smart Sizes Shaping Wirefree Bra. It's so comfortable yet holds everything where it should. I usually put a regular sports bra on over it for extra support and moisture control when outdoors. I get the "shaping" one with foam cups to give the extra support.

Those jiggly bits need all the help they can get. :lol:

I wear under shirts from academy sports and outdoors. They keep everything nice and snug for all my workouts.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
