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!!!

        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!

      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
