I am 52, 5.4, 200 lbs, 40G chest, short torso-training for my first Tri the 19th of this month. I have already lost 37 lbs and pretty sure I will not have a significant weight loss before then.
I have ordered and reordered over 15 pair (shorts and tops) and just ordered another 6 today! My problem areas are definitely my stomach and thighs! Most are to tight and LITERALLY constrict my breathing while the others are too loose in the butt area and rub like crazy before I get on the bike! The tops are oversized. Yes, yes, I have tried men shorts and tops, also. I know I will not find a perfect fit at this size, but really?
I am totally frustrated. How does the industry expect big girls to get healthy if we cannot find the proper clothing!
I just found out about this site recently or I would have posted sooner. I met Dan at the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center and he told me to check it out!
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Time is ticking . . . .
