As in, I was trying to figure out if I am a good enough seamstress to get a 3x to fit me (NO!). The last time I was there was a month ago, but since you are not looking for nice clothes that would last for years, it may be worth checking out.

When I found that suit I bought it in about 5 different colors I loved it so much :) Finding the right clothes is definitely key to getting a great workout. I find that compression pants and a cotton tank top do the trick for me, but of course everyone is different.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515791040413438591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498002565495221711.post-38622537089199382332014-04-05T11:48:38.713-04:002014-04-05T11:48:38.713-04:00And... that suit is really cute, but I can't w...And... that suit is really cute, but I can't wear it. I have boobs and they have BALLOONED up in size with my weight gain. They are heavy and there is no way I can wear anything that ties around the neck. I have neck issues already and adding a weight to it would be impossible for me. But thanks for the suggestion. It's super cute!berryblondeboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075928021362889250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498002565495221711.post-46688688071439566562014-04-05T11:41:41.441-04:002014-04-05T11:41:41.441-04:00Thanks for your recommendations Monique!
I have a...Thanks for your recommendations Monique!<br /><br />I have a couple of pairs of compression type pants, but I really like a compression short with a skirt over top. No one wants to see (including me seeing myself) looking like a stuffed sausage. I feel better when I look better and if I'm worrying about how I look, I'm less likely to go out in public. I exercise either by walking (so, public) or at the gym, very public.<br /><br />I also CANNOT stand cotton t-shirts for exercise. They get wet, they cling, they feel horrible. I always wear a cool max or dry fit type top - ALWAYS.<br />berryblondeboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075928021362889250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1498002565495221711.post-42737593686219701862014-04-05T11:23:57.295-04:002014-04-05T11:23:57.295-04:00Hi :) I didn't read your blog the first time y...Hi :) I didn't read your blog the first time you lost weight, but saw your updates pop up on Jeanette's blog list recently. I'm so excited to find a "new" blog I enjoy reading! Had to share some thoughts...<br />1. When I was a plus size, I could never find clothes that fit because I was still small-chested! All the Lane Bryant, Torrid, etc. clothes were made for people with enormous breasts lol.<br />2. If I were you I would try to find some compression pants for workouts. They ARE very tight, but they feel like they are massaging my muscles during my workout and have really reduced my soreness afterward.<br />3. This bathing suit is on the expensive side but it is magic: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/onepiece-swimwear/bathing-beauty-one-piece-in-black-plus-size<br />It comes in a lot of different colors/patterns but the basic back gives you a general idea of what it looks like.<br /><br />Good luck and I can't wait to keep reading your entries :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515791040413438591noreply@blogger.com
