    ok going to show off my noobness where do i find these cloths of which yall speak???

    walmart sells a generic compression shirt. I have bought tons of these. Make sure you buy one that is TIGHT.. the sleeves should be tight, where you have to "pinch" the material to twist it on your arm if you need to adjust it. I suggest one size lower, but make sure you get a MANS.. womens just arent long enough to tuck in the fat.

    dont ask how i know. LOL

    You could always get what I call a sweat belt. It is like a neoprene belt that you wrap around body parts to make you sweat more. And if they don't have one in your size you could always buy two. They just velcro together.

    Good luck and congratulations on even trying to run! Be proud of yourself for trying!

    This is what I use! Works great!

    There is also Squeem magical lingerie-- they are compression vests and corsets that also help you tighten up in those areas. I think there might be shorts too. Just Google "Squeem" and you'll find them, and also on Amazon.

    A lot of workout pants come up pretty high, so they will kinda keep the area under control. I have some Wal-mart yoga pants that have a built in thing to control the stomach area.

    I have a big belly and flappy skin (5 babies...) and I use capris that suck it in. I get them at Wal Mart. They're Danskin brand. :)

    I'm thin and I jiggle when I run. That's just the way it is. Get used to it.

    Wow, that's helpful.

    Compression gear is totally the way to go! I love love love my Brooks compression shorts, and my Columbia compression tights. You just have to find a combination that keeps you comfy.

    Good luck!

    Old Navy has compression gear. I got some really nice Nike ones on clearance from the Nike website. The bra is another story. Don't buy a compression bra that's too small and wear it when there's nobody around to help you out of it! That is all. :smile:

    I used to use the Danskin capri legging, comes in up to 4X. Not as tight as compression shorts, which can be a bit uncomfortable. I wore them to keep the flab at the top of my legs from being chafed when I did aerobics or even just walking around in a dress or skirt without nylons. But they'll work for your use, as well.

    and on the same train of thought, what about what kind of shorts to wear that dont ride up in the middle to make a ^ shape on your thighs? that is SO annoying.

    just practice a lot. try slowing down and gradually building yourself up so your lungs can get used to it.

    Look for a groupon for hotpants. They target the belly by making you sweat more to lose more inches. I have a pair that go right below my sports bra. They hold everything in. You don't know your are sweating extra until you take them off. Delfin spa came out with a similar product you can find them on amazon.com. If you order hotpants they take a month to arrive from London.

    I wear spandex over my gut and under my normal running shorts. It's made my life so much better :) Good luck chica!

    I use two waist trimmers! one at top and the other on bottom. They velcro together so I can make it as tight or as loose as I'd like... I got them at Sports Authority

    I know this sounds *****y but my recommendation is "getthe****overit". We all sweat and bounce in uncomfortable places but id you want to get fit, get over it.

    Underarmor- but if you don't want to buy something, your swimsuite (if you have one) will work. A one piece should hold everything down.
