    Oh I forgot to add you should be wearing your biggest diamonds while wearing the most expensive workout clothes possible. Goals cannot be reached by those that thing small.

    Target. I've bought bottoms from Marshalls, as well. I go up and down in sizes so easily. It wouldn't make sense for me to spend a lot of money on workout clothes. I'm only 4'10". So 10lbs makes a big difference on me.

    <----only possible to do this whilst wearing under armour, no cheap workout clothes are going to help you reach your goals.


    could i watch you do this while wearing your under armour gear that helped you accomplish this great feat

    Watch the sales racks at JCPenney. I have some things I got for less than $10.

    Nordstrom Rack, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Target, Kohl's, my only advice is skip WalMart - stuff lasts maybe a few washes if you're lucky. I swear I think they use tissue paper for thread. NOTHING More embarrassing than the seam splitting in your week old pants at the gym while you're doing squats.

    i never understood the idea that just because you're looking for a cute outfit that fits you well somehow means you're not killing it in the gym. :laugh:

    Old Navy (GREAT workout pants) - and actually Kohl's is where I've found really great sports bras.

    I second this also. I got a bunch of really nice workout tanks at JCP on clearance last year, and they have held up very well. I paid less than $10 each for them, and they are every bit as nice as the Nike top I have.

    I feel confident when I wear more flattering clothes. For some reason it seems to make me work harder. Sure, there are days where I go in an old soccer t shirt, I'm not gainst it. Hell when I work out at home I work out in my undies, like someone else noted. God forbid I'd like some decent clothes in my wardrobe. No crime in that. My gym is also really picky about what you wear.

    I'm with you on that one. I do work out in my undies at home, especially with yoga it helps me to get into and really work at the more advanced poses, but when I go to class or to a workshop week I like to feel confident and treat myself to gear that is specifically produced for the job.

    You can find discounted stuff, especially this time of year when last year's designs are being cleared.

    Academy usually puts some great stuff onto their sale racks. I periodically ck them out and have found some great outfits for much less. Also their BCG label has cute copies of other Nike, etc for much cheaper.

    Old Navy is currently having a workout clothes sale. $8 sports bras and $15 compression tops.

    YES. I'm a little weary of Old Navy but a lot of people are saying really good things. Plus $8 for a sports bra, can't go wrong there.

    I can guarantee an $8 sports bra from Old Navy is not going to give you support if you are larger breasted...

    You can guarantee that the bra won't work? How can you guarantee that? I'm very chesty, and I buy cheap bras in a size too small and get excellent support. I get the 3 pack at Sam's for 12 bucks... and they work awesome. And they're half the price of the ON ones...

    Sorry... I can't buy gym clothes second hand. That's too much like getting used underwear to me. NOT happening.
