Exercise and excess flab

Hi folks!

I have a question for people who do a lot of walking/running.  I have been doing a LOT of walking and have recently started jogging.  The problem is, I have a ton of belly flab that wiggles and wobbles and makes horribly embarrassing slapping sounds when I really get moving (even when walking).

I've tried wearing some Spanx high waisted/mid-thigh length shorts but they are not ideal (mainly because they need to yanked up every couple of minutes when exercising).

Does anyone else have this issue and if so, what do you do to keep all your bits under control?

Thanks!

I wear something like spanx that doesnt need to be yanked up, but goes around your bra and over the shoulder.

I am not a fan of the jello run, though a jello run like the mud run would make for a good and disastrous sporting event..... .

ive seen someone post this link on facebook its similar to what the above posted talks about...... no idea if its a good company or not but just showing you a picture of what she meant.

Compression garments are your best friend. They don't have to be expensive - I buy mine at old navy (just make sure they are compression). I double up by wearing Spanx tuck up under you sports bra so they don't roll.  I find that keeps all the jiggles in place lol. 

Get some good bottoms with a bit of compression. They will hold everything in and make you that much more comfortable. I have running crops from Lululemon and they have just enough compression to hold everything (they also smooth everything out for a nice bonus!). They're not always fun squeezing into but they're great once they're on.

Follow up to my previous post - I was just on the Lululemon site and noticed they have a new "tight" tight. Maybe pop into the store and try it on.

Now if they would just make a version for arms...

Thanks everyone!  The compression tights sound ideal.  Most of the "jiggle" is lower down, so those could potential do the trick.  So off to Old Navy and/or Lululemon I go!

Just saw this on Zulily today: http://www.zulily.com/e/the-best-in-shapewear-150689.html#pid_3883413

Might be worth a try! Be sure to read the details on this site if you haven't used them before. Most things cannot be returned and may take a week or two to be delivered. I have bought a number of Plus size pieces from them and have not been disappointed.

I love the spanks like tank tops I have. It holds in my belly, back and hips. There is no rolling down at the back or having to pull it down to go to the bathroom. It has amazing control!! I posted a link below so you can see. I bought two off eBay and love them! Wear them almost everyday!!

UGH! it's terrible.  sometimes when I'm getting in or out of bed, my thighs "clap"... I don't do anything high impact, I do pilates and hiking/walking and I find that the Gap activewear is the right amount of compression for me.  I wear the capri, or ankle length compression pants and they stay up, they hold things in and they are moisture wicking.    I don't have too much of a problem on top, as long as I'm wearing a decent bra, so I can just wear a tshirt or tank top. 

Don't be embarrassed!!!  Think of those slapping sounds as applause for how hard you're working!!  I know, that is awful...sorry. I tried. :)
