Does anyone else feel that they live in workout gear?

I certainly do!

I work then hop to my studio to workout, then back to work hence me being in my workout clothes all day.

You look bloody amazing!!

I definitely feel that way at the moment but I am running out of workout gear that fits me! Need some recommendation for some squat-proof leggings!

You look hawt!!! @Lilia_90.

I live in leggings in winter. Just around the house though cause I don’t do the gym thing. 😉 They’re comfortable and because I do stretches and such at a few times throughout the day so it’s just easier.

My niece #2 swears by Lululemon leggings @Bypass2Freedom. She’s a contemporary dancer and teaches Pilates. Says other brands don’t last & she was always splitting seams in them. On the expensive end unfortunately (though she can probably claim them on her tax as work wear LOL!.) I wear Bonds (Haynes). Been wearing the same ones for years but then I wouldn’t put as much strain as you would with squats, etc.

When I was starting out and had alot of lumps and bumps to hide I really liked the Baleaf brand on Amazon. Since I have lost a little more I have gone with the gym People brand also on Amazon that are a little cheaper and have more color options but the material is not quite as nice as the Baleaf. They both are much better fabric than the ones you get like 4 or more in a pack in my opinion and they both have the pockets for your cell phone which I can’t live without now but of course in terms of fit that will vary from person to person. The good thing about Amazon is that you can easily return if you don’t like them but the Baleaf ones unless they are just too long or short or something I don’t think you will want to return. They are real soft and I had two pair in each size as I lost Navy And Black So they were washed every two days and the color never faded and they didn’t get the pills between the thighs. . Of course it was only a couple of months but that’s still like 30 washes and they still looked new. I suggested a clothing swap at my irl bariatric support group and I saved them because I know someone will be thrilled to get them as they are losing.

The Baleaf brand was the material compression like? I feel like some are so light that there isn’t much support

I really love the Mondetta brand from costco. 7/8 legs, pockets, high waisted, and nice thick material that holds their shape.

Gosh thank you!!

I have bought and got rid of many workout clothes over the course of one year. My advise is don't be in a rush to buy because you'll keep losing weight, or buy dirt cheap gear so it's not painful when you need to toss them away LMAO.

Thank you!!

I was a big fan of Lululemon and have a ton of their tights, however I switched to Alo a few years back and never looked back. I looove how the tights fit and how snug they are, it's not cheap but worth every penny, plus super chic!

Yes the Baleaf brand does have a bit of compression without cutting in at the waist or ankles. Its quite a bit more compared to the lululemon ones which I also own a couple pair of them now because they are buttery soft and soooooo comfy( (as close as you can get to feeling naked while wearing clothing). Personally, I wouldn’t leave the house in them though because they don’t hide nearly enough of my “secrets.” 😂

I feel like the reason that the Lululemon are so popular amongst the younger generation is because they are generally still toned and they look fine on them. My kudos to those that have lost all their weight and toned enough to wear the lululemon though they are really nice and I heard the same thing about their durability so if I could get away with them I for sure would. I can’t speak to the durability myself because I have not owned the lululemons for long.

I’m guessing for a much higher price point there are nicer ones out there But for $30 bucks, i have been quite pleased with the Baleaf. Ooh and they are like $10 off near the holidays. I stocked up just before Christmas in the smaller sizes that I knew I would be needing.

Wore this sparkly outfit to a new year's at home party with the girls.

And this on a short (cold) vacay.

[Lilia_90 617]

Now! I forgot to tell you about the former outfit in the post above. So the girls decided to wear sparkly and skanky outfits last minute lol, and I had nothing that fit the category nor me - no pun intended - . Also, it was too late to attempt to go shopping, so guess what your gal did?

I raided my 9 year old's closet, and picked these two pieces, the top is a children's size 10, and the skirt is Zara children's size 11-12, which was sewn from the sides to fit my daughter's waist (she was 6 when she wore this last) and you know how Zara's sizes run way smaller. So those are tiny wins for me (again no pun intended) - not sure my husband agrees since he thinks I'm trying to be tiny on purpose, which my exercise regimen kinda confirms - .

Came to flaunt this new Alo set I got in Gravel. It’s so flattering and hugs just right. Top and leggings both in XS. Peek the matching socks!

If anyone was on the fence about them Baleaf leggings, they seem to be on sale now popping up in my Amazon for $19.99 or $23.99 depending on the size. They were regular.$29.99 and have random sales. $19.99 is the cheapest I have seen, but I have seen it on several occasions. If you add them to your cart and save for later, you get notifications when they are marked down.

My husband and I just had our 5 year anniversary. We got married right as everything was shutting down for COVID so we didn’t get to have our receptions. We decided to do a five year anniversary party to finally be able to Celebrate with friends and family.

I loved my dress I got for it (though I didn’t get a great picture of the whole dress 🤪). I am still hopefully only halfway done with my weight loss journey but it felt great to by a size 14 dress; it’s been a long time since I wore a size 14!

Here are some picture i scavenged from people from the event to show off the dress!
