I know how to use a ponytail holder to hook my jeans closed when they are too tight.
oh my gawd! i thought i was the only one who has done this!!! (:0 -
Spank while running...No thanks. My confession...
I sometimes don't ever clean off the machine after using it. Oh and I prefer to run outside.0 -
Sometimes if I have been very good on the calories all day and have about 100 left I eat a cookie.....and I don't LOG it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0

I wear yoga pants daily and never do yoga.
Pshht...everybody knows that they're not really for yoga. They're for Netflix.0 -
I suck in my stomach so much, I literally get pulled muscles like I've been doing ab work all day. And I have a muffin top...and back fat.0

My confession is this.....after getting off the treadmill that I'd been using for 30 minutes at the gym, the very handsome guy on the machine behind mine, who must have watched me the entire 30 minutes, met my eyes, smiled and raised his eyebrows in appreciation......and that's me 40 lbs. over weight. Baby's got back and some men love it.....
It was a great reminder that things are not black and white.....we are not just thin and beautiful or overweight and ugly. You can be attractive at any size.....so appreciate what you have now even though your journey is leading you to a smaller waistline.

This!0 -
When I lift in my garage, I'm barefoot or wearing flip flops.
Oh, and the last time I wore any type of spanx was on my wedding day, over two years ago. I can't STAND clothes that are that tight. I have attempted several times to wear panty hose...and about halfway through putting them on, I'm like "Oh eff this..." and end up tearing them off. Every time.0 -

Second This!!!
I refuse to run on the treadmill if there is anyone else at the gym because I'm afraid they will hear my legs slapping together. /:
I secretly wish terrible things upon the itty-bitty girls that come in their booty shorts and sports bra, hair all done-up, and make up covering their faces, then proceed to walk on the treadmill at a 2.0 speed for 10 minutes, then "stretch" for an hour. All while I'm killing myself on the elliptical, rowing machine, and squatting rack. Sweating my a** off. I. Hate. You.0 -
I have 2 pairs of mens Lg sweat pants that I wear. (I could probably wear a S or M) They are SO comfy. Womens fit me, but they're cut to flatter and sometimes I don't want all that clingy stuff on me. AND definately nothing tight at ALL around my waist. The mens sweats are loose and have elastic at the ankle, which I prefer in SWEATS. And, since they're a Lg, I can pull them up higher than my waist. Jeans are OK below the waist, but sweats are not. So, I hike them suckers up, throw on a sweatshirt, and it's like I"m in my jammies :laugh:0

I hate button up shirts.
I have to buy my button up shirts one size up every time.
I have some spanx but never wear it, way too uncomfortable. I tend to go for loose clothes though... got to hide my rolls.
I get ab cramps every time I do crunches, so I typically don't bother... I figure they work enough when I lift 40 lbs weights anyway.0 -

^this is the best.0 -
Okay ladies... Today on the track I was watching a 60+ silver fox whip my *kitten* running around the track and looking damn good... YOU GO GIRL. Then I looked down and realized my thighs were jiggling like Jello - totally understand what compression pants are for now...0

I hate button up shirts.
Testify, sister!
AMEN!!!!!!0 -
I wear three sports bras when I run - it looks like I have one massive uni-boob but it holds them in place!
I buy workout gear all the time because it's cute or on sale, yet end up wearing the same things over and over again because they are comfy.
THIS. I have a problem buying sports bras that are on sale. Yet I ONLY wear my VSX bra when I work out. That thing works wonders!
My Confession: I go shopping and still go for the the L and XL shirts and I'm shocked when they are too big. Still a chubby girl at heart!0 -
I yell at Tony Horton (creator of P90X). He'll be on the DVD like, "OOOh, I'm feeling the burn!" and I'll just scream out "THEN HOW DO YOU THINK I FRIGGIN FEEL?!" as I'm sweating and trembling. "I HATE YOU!"
My husband runs into the garage because he thinks something's wrong.
ROFLMAO Ok this just made my day!0 -
Thanks for the giggle before work!! Best thread eva on MFP!
I tried wearing spanx underwear that came down mid thigh, ummm, the fat roll that bulged from the top and the bottom of the spanx was not becoming!. I am sure I bought a size too small. But I do that way too often, see a cute tshirt or something, especially on the clearance rack, in an xl, not try it on, bring it home and I look like a sausage in it.0 -
My confession is... I may be the youngest person in my building but when going to the workout room I like being alone because the old people put me to shame on the treadmill.0

I had to wear my husband's Batman belt to work yesterday because my jeans are too loose without a belt but I haven't lost enough to buy new jeans and I don't own a belt in my current size.
And his belt FITS.0 -
I hate button up shirts.
Testify, sister!
AMEN!!!!!!
Hallelujah!! Button up shirts are the devil!! They never close without a gap and they don't hide jack squat leaving buldges everywhere..unless you leave 'em open!!0 -
I pull my yoga pants all the way up to just under my boobs bc it helps smoooooth me out!!
I thought I was the only one who did that! LOL
I do the same thing lol0 -
I wear my husband's old Army t-shirts to the gym because they are baggy and my lower belly pooch doesn't show.
I wear HUGE t-shirts so that nothing clings to my back fat or my tummy pooch!!!
This thread is hilarious!!! There are so many more I could quote, such as the button up shirt! I hate those things, I always have the open gap in front of my boobs, or dont even bother to button up to that point!!
I also wear LOTS of sports bras, making me look like I have a huge boob in the middle, and I STILL have to hold them when I do certain exercises!!!0
