I'd like to be able to run on the treadmill but I have an embarrassing problem. I guess my fat moves around and it's painful. Afterward it feels like someone has been slapping me on the tummy over and over.

Does anyone have advise on how to solve this problem?

    Wear tight-fitting workout clothing, and a good sports bra. Maybe two layers of a cotton/spandex top would be helpful. :flowerforyou:

    I wish I DID have advice for you... but I'm in the same boat... mine flaps too. I just wanted you to know that you're not alone! If it helps - I have found I'm much more comfortable if I wear a tight fitting (think spandex) tank top under my tee shirt... it helps hold things in place a little more.

    I assume that the area you are refering to is your stomach....Maybe some workout clothes that "hold" you in like spandex...I notice on biggest loser they all seem to wear spandex shorts like bike shorts...I never thought about it but I bet it helps to reduce the jiggle...:flowerforyou:

    Wear a spandex type tank bra under your regular workout top and some spandex type pants. Also, if your just starting out with the running, do some walking & running intervals and work yourself up to where you want to go.

    I also lost a lot of pounds power walking. It's good for toning, too.

    I have definitely had this problem before, except it was with my boobs, they used to be in so much pain after jogging, even if i only did a few minutes. I tried to buy a good supportive sports bra and eventually simply by jogging over and over, my body got used to it. So as others have suggested, buy some good supportive clothing, like spandex stuff, or some nice yoga pants, i use those and they are great for jogging.....anything like that and dont worry, your body will get used to it with time :smile:

    I actually wear jeans to run...because I have some extra junk in the trunk... and when it jiggles around, it starts to itch like mad. When I wear jeans, no more itching and I can't feel my bum/thighs flopping around...

    So yeah, try some very supportive clothing!:flowerforyou:
