Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find plus size women's activewear? I've been working out 6 days a week and find the need for more workout clothes. I'm just a little too curvy for the x-large right now, although hope to report differently in a month or too. I find that it's hard to find gear in even an x-large, much less a 2x, and when you do find an x-large it's "slim cut"...ie not helpful. Ironic that few companies seem to carry larger sizes and those who wear larger sizes are the ones who need to workout the most!
I've found zella at Nordstrom, but they only have yoga pants and no tops right now. Nike apparently makes a 2x, but no stores ever carry them and it's hard to find them online. We have two nike outlets here and I couldn't even find an x-large and sometimes they only had smalls and mediums. Don't really care what brand it is and any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

    Although I despise Walmart, they have a bangin' plus size athletic section that is reasonably priced.

    Check out Woman Within, Roamans, Brylane, Lane Bryant, even King Size Direct. They all have workout clothes in a variety of sizes....1X up to 7 or 8X...petite, tall and big. I tend to buy mens sweats and workout pants because the length is better for me at 6'. The Tees and stuff are made longer as well

    Good Luck

    T.J. Maxx and Walmart are some of the cheapest places I have bought plus sized clothes from.

    Old Navy is another great place to look. I know they carry XL in the store and I think they even have XXL.

    Old Navy activewear is awesome. It's inexpensive.......and it last so much longer than Walmart or anything like that. They have XL and XXL sizes.......and they're normally on sale......

    as a matter of fact, my 10 lb reward is a new pair of work out pants from old navy. :)
