One question. Does anybody have the expandable yoga bag tote from lulu. It looks kinda boring, compared to some really cool totes they have, but it looks just like what I've been looking for. I didn't notice it in the store, saw it on line. You can carry your yoga mat in it and when you need other things it expands to make room. I've had the hardest time finding a nice looking, yet functional bag. I have cute ones and functional ones, but not one that does both. Anyone have a yoga bag they love(with room)?

I'm looking for some recommendations for some super comfy but not super expensive! I'm also plus sized and everything I find is in regular sizes 
Yes! TJ Maxx and Marshall's are awesome for good brand-name work-out apparel. Most of my shirts (the moisture-wicking ones) and sports bras are from those two stores.
I also buy capris and pants from Target (Champion brand). Good quality on everything I've bought so far and good prices for moisture wicking items.
Target! Everything that I've bought there works well for me and has lasted through many race training cycles and crossfit/boot camp/gym workouts.
I like Old Navy workout clothes--they're comfortable and affordable. I will say that I air dry it all, because I don't think Old Navy clothes stand up to tumble drying very well.
I totally agree with both statements. I buy Champion sports bras from Target that I LOVE and Champion tanks from Target that I love equally. They are almost the only tops/bras I wear to work out in. The tank is a basic 90% polyester tank with a touch of spandex. It wicks sweat and dries very quickly. The Champion bras are racer back sports bras with cup sizes that do a great job of containing and shaping. Each will cost you about $16 or $17.
For pants, my current obsession is Lululemon but those are expensive. I was wearing lots of Nike pants and crops before that. They are thick enough to smooth, hold me in and flatter my curves. The fabric is good for wicking sweat away and fast drying. You can find them discounted at Nordstrom Rack where is I bought all mine.
i just got workout shorts and capris at Forever 21 today and i SWEAR they look just like Lululemon! the shorts were 11.99 and i got black and purple and the capris were 17.99 and they are black with purple detailing. ok, they aren't as thick or as good quality as Lululemon but they didn't cost me $100 either! i had to size down bc they are very stretchy but i LOVE them!

With everyone talking about wicking clothes ..... Do NOT use fabric softner (liquid or the sheets) with these clothes. It will ruin the wicking ability.
So what I use instead is white vinegar. I put it in the liquid fabric softner dispenser in the washing machine. Works great!
If your workout clothes get a little stinky .... add a little extra white vinegar right with the clothes when you wash them. Works like a charm!
