Cute workout clothes?



Recommended Posts

I like athleta.com But it's expensive. But I also refuse to wear clothes that doesn't have a skirt covering the crotch. Lol

Kohl's on line is fantastic for plus size workout clothes. Not in the store so much, but on line. The FILA label is cut generously. Lane Bryant is good for plus size. Fabletics (on line only) is great once you hit about a size 18 - their XXL started fitting me at size 18 - I do not however like fabletics sports bras because they are not terribly supportive. I wear Fabletics pants almost exclusively. Kiava has great sports bras with a cute latice strap design (and the tank tops are cute but cut small), 2XL started fitting me at a size 18 (and I have a large rib cage, I'm 165 lbs and still 38 inches around). LOVE me some Lorna Jane but terribly expensive. I splurged and bought one of their tops for my 1 year pictures. I have not posted my 1 year pics yet because I am not terribly tech savvy!

Where do you shop for workout gear? I've been wearing the same cotton capris and oversized tees for years now, and I'd like to have something that's actually cute as well as functional for the gym. Any suggestions?

Once you get above a size 18/20 pickings get slim. I prefer a little support in my pants and tops. I don't want to jiggle when I am working out. I shop several places; Lane Bryant, Junonia, Old Navy (online only), Just My Size & Hanes com are good for pants & tops. Lane Bryant's sports bras are really nice. Sometimes you can catch deals on 6pm

Thanks how are the plus size options at target? I'm only 9 weeks post op, so I need plus sizes, but don't want to spend a lot.

Target's plus sizes suck. They used to be pretty decent but for about 2 years now they have been truly ugly. Plus size workout gear about a 16/18 or XXL is non existent.

Surprisingly, Walmart has decent workout clothes, I've got several xxl "yoga" pants and I was a size 20w and they fit fine, now that I down to a 18 they're a bit big, but I probly stretched them out. I'm also a huge Macy's shopper and they've got awesome stuff too. But it's pricy unless you've got a coupon or shop their one day sales.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
