    Can't speak about cute or fun....But I shop at the Under Armour, Nike and Adidas outlets and can't really go wrong with either.

    I like adidas and go there sometimes.

    I saw some really cute stuff at old navy last time I went. I was gonna buy them but i usually just go looking all janky in my sweats and baggy shirts. I dont know about comfort, but they were SO cute. And all the commercials say they fit so that stuff doesnt "wiggle" lol

    Honestly for girls, those old teeshirts you have laying around are so adorable and sometimes sexy for you to work out in from my view point. Some yoga pants (the best fashion invention ever) and those and you are to darn cute.

    A lot of people don't like to thrift shop but all of my workout gear came from the thrift store. I find lots of things that still have the tags on them. Good luck

    I look at Ross, cute stuff and I usually buy each piece for around $7 but a thrift store sounds good!

    I love Under Armour workout gear, but Victoria Secret also has some fun workout outfits!

    Yoga pants from Victoria's Secret are awesome, I love UnderArmour too.

    In terms of bottoms, I swear by Old Navy workout capris. (I love capri leggings in general.) They don't ride up and are super flattering. Target also has some good capri length leggings. I'm on a budget, so I don't usually buy Nike or Adidas gear, plus I find that their cuts are less forgiving (designed more for athletic builds.)

    Lululemon stuff is great, very pricey but fits well from what I hear. I have yet to buy anything, maybe in another 20 lbs a reward :)

    Avenue had a sale recently and I picked up a couple pair of leggings with colorful trim, a couple of rib tanks in a size too big so my cute workout bra could peek through, and some workout capris. I'm not brave enough to wear the rib tanks in public, so I tend to wear my old t-shirts instead. I like that because my tee's are getting so big that it makes me feel like I've made lots of progress! :-D

    I buy pretty much all of my black stretchy yoga-type pants either at Target or places like TJ Maxx. TJ Maxx is good for sports bras too. Victoria's Secret has some good sports bras too, but the good ones are expensive so I only have a couple of those and the rest from TJ Maxx. Shirts I buy wherever, usually cotton tanks or some stretchy kind. I also love to wear my husband's Tshirts, except I look like a dork when I do bc they are too big, but when I am feeling bloated or whatever they are perfect :)

    I love Nike but Nike shows no love for XXL girls! So I go shop at Target & buy double! (Suck-it Nike!)

    Damn! My 5k picture HAD to show up under the marathoner?

    I'd say Wal-Mart. Dont pay too much attention to it really.

    I work out in Old Navy compression pants, sports bra and a tank or t shirt. I just love the old navy pants, cause the material doesn;t pill when my thighs rub together. lol Plus, they are super comfy and cute, and I swear they are slimming. Plus, they have the zipper pouch in the back so you can put a key, fob, etc.

    I'm addicted to Lululemon! But their stuff is definitely an investment, money wise lol

    If I'm just working out at home, I wear spandex shorts and a sports bra. If I'm going to the track, I throw some shorts and a tank on top, so as to not blind anyone :P

    I enjoy Nike's dri-fit stuff. They usually have a good sale going on online.

    Lululemon is amazing, cute and very comfy! I love the ta ta tamer bras there as well.

    I like Fila from Kohl's. Kohl's has a one day sale just about every other day, so I wait until they go on sale. TJ Max has some nice affordable workout clothes but it is a hit or miss.

    Nike and adidas outlets are also good for a nice outfit at affordable prices.

    If you come into a rich inheritance than I recommend Lucy and Luluman.{sp?} .

    I love cute workout clothes! I find them really motivating, but I refuse to pay Lulu prices for them. Target C9 sports bras are my favorite. They hold things in, wash well, come in a bunch of cute colors, and are pretty cheap. I went into Old Navy for the first time in ages recently and was really impressed with their new activewear line; for better or worse they're knocking off Lululemon at about 1/5th the price. I'm currently on the hunt for new yoga pants - I bought a pair of the new premium ones at Target (around $40) and the old style cotton ones ($20). I'm still not sure which I like best - I'm not sure the compression ones are better enough to justify being double the price. I've also found really cute stuff from the GapFit line and Gap is always having sales. I do love the stuff at Lucy, but it's almost always out of my budget. I occasionally find cute things there on clearance, and once my Nordstrom Rack had tons of Lucy stuff (all of it in extremely small or large sizes, sadly).

    We have a ginormous outlet mall near here, but the lady stuff isn't very fun. I WISH I had the $$ to buy those others! I'll check out Ross. I always forget about them.
