How To Keep Things From Bouncing While Working Out?



Recommended Posts

So I have been working out more lately, and not only is my sports bra not cutting it, but my tummy is bouncing all over the darn place. It makes me not want to work out because I am self conscious about it.

Is it okay to wear shapers while working out? Will they make you itchy?

Do they make work out gear just for big girls that will keep things in place? If they do WHERE CAN I GET THEM?

So far all I can find is regular sports bras and Shapewear at AdditionElle and Penningtons here in Canada.

looking forward to hearing how yall other ladies keep the wobbly bits in place!

Thanks

I work out daily, and when I wear athletic shorts, I wear spanks underneath! I bought my sports bras online. Just google it...you'll get lots to choose from.

I bought a fantastic sports bra from Scheels in North Dakota (brand has worn off), it's like a double bra with regular type bra inside and a sports bra on the outside. It's great!!

I wear a hi-waist firm shaper and a great sports bra by Maia. It is now my favorite bra and I wear it with everything. In fact I bought 3 more colors. Here is the Amazon link

Try the avenue.com or onestopplus.com websites. Look for the easy up/down shaper. It really is easy to get on and off unlike some and it holds everything in. I love mine and it comes in sizes to 4X I think.

I use compression spandex for the bottom and usually I go with nike sports bras about a size too small. That way it keeps everything where it should be. I started doing that when I played college basketball and have done it wih sucess every since. You can get compression spandex at most sporting goods stores. I usually wear mens because they fit me better than womens.

      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.

      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! 😞
