Workout Clothes



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share the following article I found on SparkPeople today; thought it might be helpful to others.

I have all my usual t-shirts and workout capris that I'm most comfortable in, but like to change up my tops from time to time.

One thing I learned about -- adjustable bras (and not just the shoulder straps) that will take you through weight/size changes.

The information is good, but they should have picked better images. They picked the most hideous, sloppy looking workout clothes they could find. I almost didn't read the article, because of the images.

Thanks for sharing.

I use many of their suggestions, not the specific ones, except the Moving Comfort Fiona bra, but similar ones. At this point I only buy on clearance as I am not sure how long things will fit! I have also added compression shorts and tank tops to keep the skin, rolls, apron, etc from bouncing TOO much. It all bounces, but it at least minimizes it some and I feel better with the compression. (It keeps the girls even more stabilized as well) I like compressionZ brand tank tops, but I have a bunch of other ones from Walmart and target as well. I have bought a lot of my stuff on Amazon or sierra trading post.

Good luck and Keep moving!

Thanks for the suggestions, Pam @mngreeneyes. I'll have to check out some of those. I love spandex type garments for the bottoms, and usually just wear my regular bra since I typically do circuit training, strength/weight training, and elliptical. I do buy most of my workout wear at Walmart, but will sometimes pick up t-shirts at other stores if I see something I like.

Like you said......Keep Moving!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
