    I wear my pregnancy belly band sometimes to give myself a "smoother" look. BTW...my son is 2 now lol. And I wear 2 bras when working out so my boobs can stay the hell out of my face.

    I wear headphone and turn the volume up really loud when I am running because I hate to hear my body clapping at me while running. :sad:
    If I forget my headphone I will not run.

    ^^^ YES. Me too.

    One more confession: My thighs rub together when I walk so bad that I end up wearing holes in all my favourite pants! Haha

    You know how many pairs of pants I used to go through because of this?! I have a lot of pants that are in good condition with the exception of the thighs.

    Here here!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: My thunder thighs have worn a many hole in jeans!! Freaking jeans!!

    Me too. Best kept office secret. Put a nice heel with them and they look like business attire. :)

    Where can you buy these compression cami you speak of? I want one!!! lol Do they look like tank tops?

    Mine are Maidenform brand from Costco, about $12/each. I have about a dozen of them, lol. They are slightly restrictive, like the less severe Spanx but they absolutely hide my muffin top.

    They look like tank tops but have that sheen from the lycra so they're clearly underwear. They also have this tummy panel so your waist is compressed but your boobs are not :) I love them....lots.

    My confession may sound odd but here goes. Many years ago I had a MUCH needed breast reduction. Since then I lost from 201 pounds down to 170. My breast were flat and a very small B cup. I recently got implants and not used to wearing larger bras or the discomfort that goes along with it. So when I work out its bra less. I'm re-learning how to exercise with larger breast and I must confess its not easy! Needless to say I'm not running at this point either.

    Would never buy a larger size in pants than a size 8 --- even though I needed them. Would not admit it to myself.

    I wear yoga pants most days aswell..the heating in our school is shot (the oil keeps getting stolen) so they keep me warm and have never graced the inside of a yoga class :D

    I get irrationally annoyed with pushy clothing store clerks who "want to see what the pants look like on you". How do you think they'd look on a lady who is losing weight and determined to get in to the next size down? (Of course, they don't know that).

    Other times, I waltz out to the 3-way mirror and play that RuPaul modeling song in my head.

    Okay first - Thank you for this thread! It makes me feel so much better! I have 2:

    1. I won't let my hubby see me do Insanity because I'm afraid he'll laugh (even though he swears he won't). For that matter, I can't bring myself to leave the house to workout because I don't want people making fun of me.
    2. I don't have very many workout clothes, so I hang mine up to dry and wear them a couple days in a row. Then they get washed.

    Also - Yoga pants FTW!

    I get frustrated when I do Turbo Jam because when I do the "tuck" it really makes my belly look huge. :'(

    Loving this!! :love:

    I am constantly pulling at my top in the gym to cover my assets.

    I wear yoga pants for yoga, shopping, and house cleaning. I sometimes feel I should hide them from myself as the are becoming like my old jogging pants.

    Sometimes when doing the C25K I get off rythym and look quite goofy on the treadmill trying to get my footing back and not fall off. I swear the guys next to me are tisking and saying she wont be here next month! I cant wait to surprise them! :laugh:

    I know how to use a ponytail holder to hook my jeans closed when they are too tight.

    ...A hair tie?

    Yes, a hair tie is commonly referred to as a ponytail holder in the south. At least I assume it's a southern thing, because I call them ponytail holders too.

    If I forget my headphone I will not run.

    The first time I ran on the treadmill I heard this weird, squeaky rhythmic echoing in the gym and was trying to figure out what it was.....oh, IT'S MY CHUBBY SELF pounding away on the treadmill! I won't run without headphones either, or I'd die of embarrassment from all the noise my running creates.
