Work Out Pants

I'm a size 18 and want to go work out in the gym. But I have no workout clothes and don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. I don't want to wear any tight spandex like clothes. Can anyone tell me what to wear and where to buy it? Thanks!

    I HATE walmart brand workout pants because they shrink in the dryer. Heck I'm only 5'3 and they always end up very short. I'm a busy mom with 3 kids and I need pants that I can throw in the washer and

Also love the yoga pants (crop style) from Old Navy. Just recently bought them in a smaller size!

I say wear what is comfortable. I've been in and out of gyms since my high school football days. Growing up my best friends dad owned a gym. And I can tell you no one cares what anyone else is wearing at the gym.

You are SUCH a guy!!! :-)

I think i'm going to Old navy this week!!! Never been in one, so a new experience coming right up!!!

Thanks EVERYONE for answering me!

I personally wear sweats and a t shirt. Sometimes don't change out of work pants and wear dress pants at times.

Any strechy pants and a t shirt work for me. Walmart has decent yoga pants. I also like tj maxx/marshalls.

I also wear Danskin yoga pants and their t-shirts. I've not experienced any shrinking. My goal is to one day buy a Spanx workout outfit, they are SUPER cute! I feel as though I have to look decent because I'm a people watcher and notice what people are wearing, including their shoes, I LOVE CUTE TENNIS SHOES. My shoes are neon yellow.

So, of course, go for what makes you feel comfortable, and hit the gym!

I'm going to do both actually. I feel better when I look nice at the gym. I do it for myself. And there are so many cute workout outfits out there. Now that I look good in them what's wrong with being a fashion diva lol

I'm a shoe watcher as well!! I saw a pair of tie dyed Asics at the gym, asked the girl where she got them, she looked a little shocked but told me lol.

So where did she get them?

Jcpenny has a large plus size workout wear section.

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 !!
