Work Out Pants



Recommended Posts

I wear sweat pants and t shirts! I am there to work and sweat and do not care who sees me!! And at my gym most people are wearing the same stuff. Go get your sweat on and don't spend a lot on the clothes !!

I just discovered lululemon athletic wear. I got proper hot yoga gear and it is fantastic. Better still, I got into a size 10 in shorts and size 12 in tops.

My first gym membership was at a studio set up with ceiling to floor mirror that ran the length of the building. Now I have membership where the mirrors are only in the free weight areas. I was 460 pre-surgery now 360, so I am still the biggest Guy in the gym. You want flexibility and air flowing so that perspiration cools you off. It may be a Guy thing but focus on the work you want to get in and not the mirror ..that comes later. I use Reebok tops and shorts. They breath and dry fast

Even at 144, I'm self conscious about my appearance.. I liveeeeee in yoga pants work and gym (work has an extremely lenient attire code, heck my hair is blue!) I L-O-V-E danskin, have since I danced and excited Walmart carries a line and dirt cheap since I'm still going through sizes every few weeks. During the warmer weather I only ever wore their capris and now that its colder I wear the yoga pants. I do admit I went to Models and bought a 40$ pair of Adidas pants and they're much more comfy, but too expensive and don't hide the cottage cheese thighs like danskin Lola's far as tops, I just wear cheap 5$ thin v-neck fitted tees (walmart, target, wet seal, etc) with a kohls tank underneath (also about 7$)

So....i tried the weight/workout area. I decided it's just not for me at this time. Doesn't mean it won't be in my future. But what's funny is obviously my issue isn't that I care about what people think of me. (Because they don't, and I always knew that!) Now 3-4 times a week I prance around in a bathing suit!! Oh yeah! Flaunting my cottage cheese thighs. :-) I've discovered that Water aerobics is 'my thing.' Even do water Zumba. Now that's a challenge trying to get my hips to move in ways they haven't moved since I was a teen. ;-)

I think that finding your "thing" is the most important part. Buy you some dumbbells and do weight work at home. You can find tons of arm workouts on Pintrest. ( I love that page!) ill have to try Zumba water! Sounds like fun. I have no rhythm and am quite clumsy though :-/

That's the plus of being in the Water...no one can see your clumsiness!! It's great.

Well I started out with wal-mart sweat pants, lost 36lbs and don't want to buy more yet so I took 4 inches off them and can still take more in. I'm not there to show off, I want to get my workout done and go on with my day. It helps that I go,to curves and no men are allowed.

So where did she get them?

I saw them at Sports Basement and they actually had several different multi colored, artsy shoes.

I'm sorry I just saw this!

At Finish Line! They had 5 different kinds/colors. I am going to be rocking a pair soon! Acics are great workout shoes. But NO ONE tell Nike I'm cheating on them!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
