Where has everyone found the best places to find PLUS SIZE 2x-3x workout clothes for a decent price? I don't want to spend too much since when I lose then i'll need better fitting as times goes on. Or does anyone sell theirs that no longer fit from here? Thank you

    Depends on what you're looking for. When I first began working out I was wearing size 2x-3x I shopped at Walmart. Because I decided to do a lot of cardio I wanted to have a good sports bra with plenty of f support. I believe the brand Danskin tends to run larger with different styles so you can find the best one that fits for you. Hope this helps and good luck with your journey! :)

    Old Navy online is where I buy a lot of clothes. I believe the workout wear is on sale now.

    when i was that size i wore leggings and t shirts or tank tops. stuff i either had or got at walmart (who generally has a decent and affordable selection). I still get stuff there lol

    the danskin and avia brands are usually a good bet.

    I seriously don't have specific workout clothes. I wear the $12 danskin stuff from Walmart and old t-shirts when I'm working out because I view workout clothes as clothes that you should be able to beat the heck out of and not care about.

    I'm in misses sizes, but Old Navy is where I get all of my activewear. They have a wide selection of plus size activewear, too. :)

    For large sizes and low cost, WalMart is great.

    Another vote for walmart and old navy.

    Surprisingly, my workout clothes from Walmart have held up. I wore Danskin ballet items years ago but sometimes brands cheap out for a walmart brand and it's nice they didn't. They clearance them every season too (I never see much design difference but who cares anyway lol) so even less expensive. I paid 3 or 4 dollars for each shirt and yoga pants item I've gotten. Old Navy has well fitting durable items too.

    Most of mine is Danskin from Walmart.
    Check their website & stores for clearance. You can often get the dri-fit shirts for around $6, especially if you're not really picky on color or style.
    I got a bunch of 4x NWT yoga/workout pants for $10 a pop on ebay last year, too.

    Another vote for old Navy. They have crazy sizes, like petite maternity workout clothes, for those of us under 5' who want things looser around the tummy

    Costco.com generally has good quality workout clothing for a good price and a lot are offered in plus sizes online (not at the warehouse, though).

    Their own brand (kirkland sig) is very affordable, and the namebrands they offer should be the lowest price you can find anywhere. Stock and namebrands offered are changed-up very often so it's best to consider everything offered as limited-time and to check back in for new stock every few weeks or so.

    Some clothing are members-only items meaning you need to be a Costco member to purchase and/or to get the member price, but not everything available in the online store requires a membership.

    The Walmart brand (Danskin) is really pretty decent.

    If you like to shop online, the Just My Size line at hanes.com or walmart.com, or anything at roamans.com.

    Chiming in on Walmart's Danskin brand. I am still wearing the $5 T-shirts I bought there 4 or 5 years ago.

    They looked great for 2 of those years. Now they are too big and have finally started to fade, but they held up really well.

    I just had to chime in, although it will not answer the question at all. The only workout clothes that I have bought so far are sports bras. I workout at home, so I am in sports bra and panties. I have not gotten the courage up to go to a gym or out in public yet to workout, yet

    Old Navy has a wide selection of active wear. Walmart also has a decent selection of plus size active wear.

    I LOVE JCPenny, Target and Old Navy for active wear. My only complaint about the Penny's stuff is that if you wear it out, it doesn't always keep it's elasticity (talking mostly pants here)

    I agree, Danskin for the absolute win. I've had some of their pants for years, meaning they held on for some serious waistline fluxes and lived to tell the tale.

    Just throwing this out there - don't let it stop you from working out if you don't have the right gear. I had limited time so I threw in a workout video and did it in my jeans and tshirt. That said, to answer your question, Old Navy has awesome workout gear in all sizes!

    Luckily I have several Goodwill stores nearby, and they even have 50% off days!!

    I did buy a couple pairs of the under armour compression shorts in XL from Amazon, which fit me when I was a US 18. They are really nice to avoid the dreaded chaffing!!

    Wherever you end up shopping, don't buy anything expensive. If/when you're successful you'll size out of them in a couple of months, so buy cheap.

    I love Old Navy (they often have sales / coupon codes) workout clothes, and recently purchased pants and a workout bra from Rainbeau (http://www.rainbeau.com/) that I'm obsessed with!
