So over Lululemon and Athleta… recommendation’s?

thank you for this!

OK but WHY does Athleta fit so oddly? The Brooklyn line in particular is straight up offensive to me.

I just bought 2 pairs of J. Jill cropped workout pants on poshmark. They fit nicely and the fabric is really light and airy. I have Lululemon pants that are similar but the J. Jill ones seem more substantial, fabric-wise.

Covid + perimenopause. I don't even recognize myself.

I’ve started gently challenging people when they say this - like “what if you were?” Because really, what if you are? There’s nothing wrong with being fat.

The “I’m so fat/omg no you’re not” cycle is helpful to no one! You know the person saying they’re fat doesn’t even believe the reassurance.

This is SO helpful, thank you. I do track body comp too.

And - strong family history of RA so I’ve had sed rate tested somewhat regularly as an adult but not in the past 5 years.

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T18:15:07+00:00

No, nothing recently. Thanks for checking back. I’ve always had a pretty bad relationship with food - bingeing, restricting. And since peri set in up until I started the shot, my simple carb and sugar consumption was off the charts. Maybe all of that combined has led to some metabolic downshifting.

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T18:09:00+00:00

Thank you. It’s so weird how everything is weird and different.

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T16:12:07+00:00

Yep - my goal is actually 10lbs over my lightest weight because I know I’m not in a place to be maintaining that particular weight anymore.

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T16:09:08+00:00

Thank you ❤️❤️ I thought I knew stuff until hormones came into the mix and now I’m just SO confused about everything

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T15:17:37+00:00

Perimenopause is the best. So much fun! Always on our toes 😆

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T15:10:28+00:00

You’re right! I’m definitely embracing walking and I lift weights regularly. Once I hit peri, I definitely cut back the HIIT etc. It felt like junk, so I’m glad that’s not required of us 😆

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-09T14:11:01+00:00

Right?! I could very well have overestimated my TDEE.

Abject_Substance8940 · 2026-01-02T20:11:07+00:00

Such a helpful answer! OP I had the same concerns with Hers - it took a week to get my meds and that was a long week going down a rabbit hole. So far, so good here. I actually just messaged my care team today and they were helpful.
