Yes, those are women's XSs. My upper body is pretty tiny which is weird. Checking out the junior section is a GREAT idea. Thank you!

Are those women's XS's? My 12 year old daughter who is 93 pounds and very lean wears XS in women's sizes and they fit her. She can even wear small in some things. We usually get our exercise clothing from Academy or Wal-Mart. My daughter always finds things to fit her. Junior sizes run a lot smaller than women's so that may be a good option for you.

Thanks. Had a blast in Jamaica. Felt it tonight at fencing -- my timing was off, I was sucking wind chasing opponents down the strip and couldn't commit to finishing moves. But it was great to be back on the strip. A bad night on the strip is better than no fencing at all!
Keep on losing!

I was 280 when I started. I hate treadmill running, so I started outside. I didn't consult with anyone, mainly because I never had hip, joint pain etc. I did couch to 5k to start- and I agree with Gwen that it does jump you pretty quick, but you can always modify it to your ability.

I 2nd Highland! Great advise you can take to the bank! Everyone is different and it is so not worth hurting yourself while trying to get healthy. You body will tell you.
So happy that you can go back to exercising. I am only give one advice that is always given to me by my trainer. Listen to your body. It will let you know what you can handle. Let me know how it goes
I wear children's sizes a lot and boys work better for me than girl's. They are a whole lot less expensive, too! I bought 10-12 in girl's bathing suit bottoms, though and they worked great for me this year. 
This is my last week of exercise restriction! YAY!!
I'm at the point where I really miss exercise but the idea of starting again terrifies me. Will I be able to forward fold in yoga? Will I be able to raise my arms in Tai Chi? And Pilates?! I have to roll on my side to get out of bed still and Pilates is like ALL abdomen. How will that work?! And the idea of running and the bouncing?? AAAAAAAAAAH.
So.. yeah. I'm scared.
