Plus size workout clothes

I'm looking for some ideas & places to buy/order plus sized workout clothing from. I'd like to get some running tights & capris particularly, in a 2x size that aren't TOO tight, and hopefully without breaking the bank. I have some loose meshy capri style ones I wear now from Target's C9 collection, but it seems they've discontinued the ones I like...their current stuff is TOO tight. Does anyone have any suggestions on budget-friendly places/websites to try? Thanks! :)

    I'm pretty sure Moving Comfort has a plus-sized line.

    I've gotten some online at Kohls. I like the Tek gear brand. Some are more close fitting then others but I find they fit well.

    old navy has some pretty awesome moisture wicking compression capris. their long pants suck though in terms of wicking. i guess if you're Ok with looking like you peed yourself then they are OK

    under armor is also good but they are a bit pricey. they are pretty much the best though

    I like Old Navy best! Sometimes I have luck at Khols and K-mart. Wal Mart online has a decent selection of items as well

    JC Penney X-ersion line is awesome.

    I'm out of plus now, but I actually went back in to get their X-ersion misses stuff, that is how much I loved my plus items from that line.

    Also...I wore my X-ersion compression style athletic capris for about a year, washed them after every wear, and they are still in good shape. My mom's friend wears my cast-offs almost daily now. LOL

    I got my stuff at Kohls.com. They don't carry plus size exercise clothes in the store though.

    I do Wal-Mart and JCP. I was sad too that Target discontinued its line. That was my favorite.

    Catherine's (plus sized shop) has some very nice capris workout pants. They go up to 6X at that store. The pants were such high quality durable fabric that I almost considered buying a pair just for the fabric and making capris in my size. For the smaller sizes at Catherine's these capris were $23. The larger sizes might be more. I really like the clothes there---high quality fabrics and attractive. But they start at size 14, which is too big for me.

    A tip: I don't like to wear my pants skin tight. I take a M. Sometimes I get a L or XL, then they fit how I like my pants to fit...a little loose. Maybe if you try some pants that are a size or 2 bigger, they'd fit you how you want them to fit.
