in Health and Weight Loss
I am having a problem, and I need some advice.

I am in the middle of doing Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and when I do jumping jacks I feel like I'm being attacked by my own body. I totally have a awkward body shape. Including the awesome fatroll known as a FUPA, the super sexy fat roll thats below your belly button. Anyways, I need advice on workout clothes. Something to keep my *kitten* contained so I feel more comfortable working out. Also, I need advice on good sports bras before I get pancake boobs.

    I've heard very good things about the Panache sports bra. It's pricey but worth it if it gets the job done.

    i am also doing the 30 day shred... i wear a pair of cheap yoga shorts i bought at walmart for $5 they have the wide band on the top so i flip that up over my belly and wear a tight fitting but breathable top that has a shelf bra built in made by danskin. i just bought a cheap sports bra for like $15 but has molded cups. seems to be working good for me so far and i had attacking rolls too, lol

    lol I'm a dude and I feel your pain, literally - it sucks, I normally try find singlet or tight fitting stuff to wear underneath my clothes i'm training in, that way it kinda helps keep everything squished against my body lol apart from that I just try avoid the exercises that make everything flap around too much - There's all sorts to do. I found swimming fantastic. I tried skipping and nearly died.

    last week when i went to zumba, one lady (fitter than me) said, 'i don't know if i will do this class again, there's too much fat flopping around here!'

    she looked directly at me when she said it.

    i have the roll under my belly button too. if i wear a thong, nobody can see it! haha! i call the roll my 'apron'.

    I wear Enell sports bras and I like them very much. I swear I almost sprained a boob running down some stairs a couple years ago when the girls were flying free.

    Do I want to know what FUPA stands for? Should I just google? The possibilities are ... well, alarming, haha :)

    edit: Ok, googled and... man, people are effin mean out there in that ugly world :(

    this is horrible!!! :frown:

    when i do zumba (at home in the basement) you can probably hear my fat flapping upstairs, but atleast everyone has the common courtesy to not say anything, lol... some people are so rude!

    Get a pair of 2XU tights. They are AMAZING. I put them on when I first started my weight loss and I was like, stuff losing weight, I'll just wear these all the time and look like I have muscles! I find when you first get them the sizing is a little tight but it means when you lose weight they last longer which is worth it when they cost so much. They're really great, feel like a second skin and they have an online outlet so you don't have to pay through the nose.

    Also if you have big boobs I've seen alot of girls invest in a good sports bra and then strap them down with a compression croptop to keep it all cemented in :)

    Good luck!!

    Yeah but... we're the only ones who get to make fun of our chubs! They're like really annoying siblings that REALLY never want to leave you alone, lol. When other people start picking on them, why, them's fightin' words!

    Fupa... So we're all clear on what that stands for?

    Anyways... Brastop.com is where I go for ALL of my bras. You can try them on in the comfort of your own home and returning/exchanging is far easier than a store purchase.

    I agree with the panache brand suggestion. I would stay away from "Freya".

    Additionally, are you sure you're wearing the right size? I thought I was a 34A for years, turns out I'm a 28D. ;)

    I have a belly roll (thanks kiddies) and I got some Old Navy compression leggings for when I'm out running in public. It keeps everything held down, they are amazing.

    My go to bras are Moving Comfort brand. They have bras for everyone from the flat chested to full chested.

    In terms of workout clothing to contain the booty I love either Lululemon and Sugoi but those brands are pretty expensive. Walmart has some affordable workout wear. Its relatively inexpensive so even if the elasticity gave way after a few months it would not be so bad.

    This forum made my night! It is such a difficult thing. When I started doing Zumba at home, I told my husband that he was not allowed to watch. It didn't occur to me that the sounds might make it to our room upstairs hahahahah OH NO!!!

    Ok good. I just asked, and he said "what sounds? no. I guess not, then" phew!

    I use a cheap walmart sports bra, but I don't have large breasts (high B small C). I bought a size smaller in the bra, and it is comfortably tight with adjustable straps, holds them in, and all is good.

    I am glad to see others relating to this problem. Even at the same weight prepregnancy 2 years ago, I didn't have this extra roll until my son was born. According to measurements, it is getting smaller, but has a little bit to go. Luckily, most of my fat flapping is coming from my thunder thighs. THOR CALLED, HE WANTS MY THIGHS BACK...

    EDIT: My joke made me laugh when I reread it... :laugh:
