Compression clothing
Does anybody have any suggestions for bigger size compression clothing?
I finally got over my 300lb hurdle and am looking forward to more gym time but would like to find some good compression clothing to keep loose skin from moving around so much.

I wore under armour throughout my lose phase. Still do even after skin removal. Good stuff and worth the money. As it gets too big, I use as sleepweaR.
check out their outlet stores or outlet on their website. I don't think I've paid retail yet.

Just make sure it is not too tight. Sometimes using very fitted tank can help to keep the flab together.
Long term, after I lost weight, I had to make sure to buy compression garments that fit and allowed me to move around. I find places like Ross and I often bought 1-2 size larger than my clothing's size.
I know places like Kohl's, Wal-Mart, Target, carry lines of comfortable and not too expensive compression garments.
Hopefully you can try that on before you buy.
