What does Lulu Lemon have against fat people?

my workout gear consists of:

Sweat pants
Old shirts
Free shirts (for participating in certain events, etc.)

because i think it's silly to pay extra for clothes that i'm going to sweat my *kitten* of in and only wear for an hour or two each day

I salute you, sir. You are not a poseur or a 'him-bo.' You're there to get the job done and not look like an Abercrombie and Fitch ad.

Actually some of us do get the job done but like to look GOOD at the same time. I don't think one has to be exclusive of the other.

I LIKE looking all sexified up in the gym. I like throwing up huge weights while looking like a good looking female.

I see enough women in baggy shorts, oversized tees WASTING time in the gym and lifting 5 lb dumbells.

Just because one looks good doesn't mean one isn't lifting bigger than the boys or bigger than the women in sweats.

Haters.

disclamier- I used to be an ARMY sgt...so after being in sexless fatigues all the darn time I actually like being uber feminine at the gym.

Granted I NEVER wear makeup or jewelry..that's even one of my own pet peeves but you better believe I'll wear cute gear at the gym...makes me motivated.

Today I wore this...

.....with some cute pants.

While knocking out 8 deadhang pullups.(been my goal for the longest and today I reached it!)

Stop hating.

I'm grateful to this post because now I know where to go and get my new workout clothes! Not lulu lemon, I'm too big...but Old Navy! Whomever wrote about their having cute plus sized clothes was spot on. Yay!

I am just playing devil's advocate here and pointing out the fact that Lululemon is a Canadian based company not an American one. Ideals on what is considered "plus" sized are just different in other countries where the obesity rate is a hell of a lot lower than fat ridden America. We are more accepting of bigger sizes because that is our norm, but elsewhere it is not. Size 12 may really be considered "plus" sized over there. Just for the record also...anyone who is buying this overpriced **** is not worried about fitness either...lol. Costs way too damn much to sweat in!

If youre not able to fit in any of the clothing sizes that Lululemon offers, it should come as a big wake up call, as opposed to anger or frustration with Lululemon.

Theyre a fitness store, so they market to people who are generally fit or interested in staying fit, as opposed to being obese or morbidly obese.

If you are not able to fit in their clothes, to be honest, new or expensive workout clothing should be low on your list. If youre truly committed to getting fit, you will outgrow them quickly anyway.

I highly recommend a focus on diet---the fact is, input is directly proportional to output. By that, I mean its a simple fact that you cant get fat by not eating. You get fact by not eating healthy foods, or by eating too much of any type of food, healthy or not. Yes, some people have hormonal or metabolic issues that make it more difficult for them to gain or lose weight, but for the most part, people use those as excuses.

You need to be honest with yourself and assess your diet first and foremost, and concentrate on exercise that makes you sweat (and not just walking). High tech or expensive workout clothing should be the last of your concerns, since if youre really serious, the clothes you buy now wont fit for long anyway. Go to Target and get some decent but relatively inexpensive workout clothing--- they actually have some good stuff for a fraction of the price.

Make Lululemon your reward for when you do get in shape and are merely in the habit of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I'm honestly unsure why this is a big deal. Major clothing lines have always had size cut offs, some higher than others. This isn't anything new.

^ ^ ^ Completely agree with you. I wear shirts that the kids at work mess up or that were free.

I just wear old shorts and a t-shirt

Welcome to being fat in Canada!! It's not like in the US, there is almost nothing available in plus size, let alone nice workout gear. I almost cried yesterday because I managed to fit into a Nike Running dri fit top.

I have a pair of old Lulus from when they were still making a size 14 and I cannot wait to be able to get another pair when I can fit into some 12s. They're crazy expensive but they definitely stand the test of time plus it's like wearing your bed... they;re that comfy.

I really dislike going to ANY store or website and seeing their XL is a 12. seriously? I have seen one place where its an 8-10! WTH folks? it makes me mad. I worked and can get into an XL but now it seems XL is smaller than it was before in some places. I always have to check the size guides.

I am a 16. I found great pants/capris in the past at Old Navy. Also at our local Nike outlet and ****'s sporting goods I have found some nice Nike capris and tops that fit (and since I know they fit, I can browse eBay for things too).. I jiggle when I workout and I do not like the way it feels so I like to get tight fitting or compression bottoms to reduce that (or one pair of compression shorts that I can wear under my gym shorts when I run, so I can still have pockets for my music lol). as for tops, any old tee will do for me. I have taken over some of hubbys XL shirts, since he is in a L now. I even have kept some of my too big 2XL tops strictly for working out in. I have gotten bolder and picked up a couple tank tops for certain things, since its easier to move in them. I just have to look and be aware of the way things fit, since , for example, Nike's XL is a 16-18 and Under Armour is just a 16 and the measurements are different. Trial and error.

I didn't read the other posts but quite frankly, Lulu are there to sell a product. Their product is fitness clothing and it's spandex. Anything over a size 12 isn't going to look great in that clothing. If it doesn't look great, it's not going to sell. TO ANYONE regardless of size.


You want it, work for it!

I know women above a size 12 that would look good in spandex.

Hell I actually love my lulus ( old size 14) because they make my size 18 butt look fantastic! so I'm definitely sure I wouldn't be the only one buying them if they made 14 again!
