Exercise Support Wear?



Recommended Posts

So I just got off of the treadmill and I can't stand my flab jumping around when I'm trying to run (doing the C25K program), does anyone have any suggestions on supportive active wear to help with this? Like something really supportive that has wicking capabilities?

I dont know what wicking means but I wear Spanx and they are very comfortable and hold you in well

Well stay out of NIKIE and champion for now cuz they don't have anything for the plus sized womman.

I get my sweat on in a cotton bra no wires from the cassique collection from laynebryant but I make sure it is well fitted so the chest don't bounce to much when I do jog. I just usually ware an old t shirt and an old pair of cotton bermudas

That's a good question what do the plus sized gals do for workout ware if they want any?

Catherines makes great plus size exercise wear, Liz & Me. Also Glmourise sports bra! I still wear it and have had to by a smaller size every couple months now, but very comfortable and supportive without wire. You can watch their website and get them half off every month or so.

Thanks all! Cheryl, wicking is where the clothes help with "wicking" away sweat I guess it dissipates it faster or keeps it drier somehow, I get heat rashes really easy and this would help with that.

Look for any sort of compression wear from a sporting outlet. Works well for me.

Wicking is the action of moving the moisture away from your skin so you stay dry when you sweat. Spanx aren't good for that when exercising!

I went to fleet feet to get sized for bra and compression wear. Try a local fitness store. My bra makes me look nothing like a Nike ad but it works great!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
