Cute workout clothes?



Recommended Posts

I like athleta.com But it's expensive. But I also refuse to wear clothes that doesn't have a skirt covering the crotch. Lol

Kohl's on line is fantastic for plus size workout clothes. Not in the store so much, but on line. The FILA label is cut generously. Lane Bryant is good for plus size. Fabletics (on line only) is great once you hit about a size 18 - their XXL started fitting me at size 18 - I do not however like fabletics sports bras because they are not terribly supportive. I wear Fabletics pants almost exclusively. Kiava has great sports bras with a cute latice strap design (and the tank tops are cute but cut small), 2XL started fitting me at a size 18 (and I have a large rib cage, I'm 165 lbs and still 38 inches around). LOVE me some Lorna Jane but terribly expensive. I splurged and bought one of their tops for my 1 year pictures. I have not posted my 1 year pics yet because I am not terribly tech savvy!

Where do you shop for workout gear? I've been wearing the same cotton capris and oversized tees for years now, and I'd like to have something that's actually cute as well as functional for the gym. Any suggestions?

Once you get above a size 18/20 pickings get slim. I prefer a little support in my pants and tops. I don't want to jiggle when I am working out. I shop several places; Lane Bryant, Junonia, Old Navy (online only), Just My Size & Hanes com are good for pants & tops. Lane Bryant's sports bras are really nice. Sometimes you can catch deals on 6pm

Thanks how are the plus size options at target? I'm only 9 weeks post op, so I need plus sizes, but don't want to spend a lot.

Target's plus sizes suck. They used to be pretty decent but for about 2 years now they have been truly ugly. Plus size workout gear about a 16/18 or XXL is non existent.

Surprisingly, Walmart has decent workout clothes, I've got several xxl "yoga" pants and I was a size 20w and they fit fine, now that I down to a 18 they're a bit big, but I probly stretched them out. I'm also a huge Macy's shopper and they've got awesome stuff too. But it's pricy unless you've got a coupon or shop their one day sales.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
