Newbie w/a ? for the ladies re: hanging apron & running
Hi, I started my journey with a BMI over 50...I have lost over 100 lbs so far and have started a walk/run program. I am hoping to run a 5k on Thanksgiving with my sister.
Problem is that I have always carried alot of my weight in my stomach (3 kids and the high BMI definitely didn't help at all). I have a large "hanging apron" that makes running difficult...
probably TMI but when I run, it bounces and you can hear it slapping....embarassing and a bit uncomfortable.
Basically I am looking for suggestions on what kind of undergarment to wear to help alleviate the problem so I can kick up the exercise and get myself to do more running than walking.
I would appreciate any advice you can give me. I still have quite a bit to lose and I know if I can start running that will help my overall weight loss as well.
Thanks!

Noelle,
Many people use good compression garments both for upper and lower body. I know of ladies who use under armour fitness-type shorts. I also use tank tops with some compression and a shelf bra since I need 2 bras when I run. The tops help with belly skin movement as well as a little added support for the 'girls'.
You'll need to try on a few things before you find out what really works for you, but there is something out there for almost every need. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I use the Under Armour compression shorts. They are fairly cheap compared to the racing compression gear.
I want to get a compression top because my mid section flaps on the bike and gets in the way but my sporting goods store doesn't carry my size. Pout.
