What do you usually wear to work out at the gym? (Tank top? T-shirt? Shorts? Pants?)

Are there any specific brands of workout clothes you like? Hate?

Do you have a piece of fitness apparel that you love and why?

What kind of socks do you wear? (Ankle, crew, etc.)

What brand of shoes do you prefer and what type? (crosstrainers, running shoes, etc.)

Do you buy a specific brand of sports bras and why?

What's the most you've ever spent on an article of fitness clothing other than shoes?

I KNEW those pink pom poms on the sock had a purpose other than just to be cute looking.

yes, there is a fabric store nearby that gives classes, i'm just waiting to fit it into my schedule.


i don't think you can make fitness clothes with a regular sewing machine though, because the stitches will pull through the stretchy fabric. i think you need a different machine called a serger that makes the kind of stitches that you see on the inside of a commercially produced tee shirt, you know with the stitches wrapping around the seam?


ha ha, sounds like i know more about sewing than i really do! it's from reading Bust magazine. they have lots of crafty stuff in there.

I stand corrected. You're completely right about those in the gym who have earned their fitness level. I do look to these people with such admiration. Ya know, i never thought about it that way. I say daily to myself that one day i will get to where they are. Wow, you've been through alot, you are an inspiration yourself. I'm trying to keep my spirits up, but this journey has been the hardest thing i've done. You are right about truely appreciating what you've earned..i now appreciate those who have lost weight before me, the healthy way, or the people who compete in competitions..i never before realized what went into that until i started on this journey. thanks for you words of encouragement and insight.
