......loose skin and running
So after dropping 180 lbs I have some excess skin and really hated running or jumprope or jumping jacks. I was Academy Sports the other day and bought some Under Armour compression pants from a clearance rack (regular$59,marked down to $2.99)last season,awesome deal. I just took them running today and it was a HUGE diffrence. No jiggling,no flapping. It was a great feeling. I will be trying some Nike compression shorts i saw in the clearance section too and let you guys know which work better.
I have tried just about every brand over the 6+ years I have been running since my surgery. My opinion is that you really get what you pay for. In your case, it seems that you will get a lot more than you pay for.
Under Armor are my favorite for compression shorts which hold my jiggly thys in place. I have tried compression shirts but have found that I would rather let my stomach just flop around.
Nike - Reebok and Champion have also been good for me. A lot of the store brands have left a little to be desired - Target - Walmart specifically.

Kohls has a brand of compression gear that is usually on sale for around 25 bucks. You get them 1-2 sizes smaller than you wear and you will be good to go.
