I am a bigger dude, but not morbidly obese. I found that this did not fit well for me, it fit, but it fit too tight, so I bought a second one and attached them together to make a bigger belt that fits well. It does make me sweat buckets. But does this...

People always say it's ONLY after weight and that you'll gain it back. But this is not all together true. Sweat generation while working out is a direct correlation with heat build up AND energy dissipation. So, in the end you do --with consistency drop both water weight AND mass weight. If you're amenable to something even better (it's what I do) use Albolene (way less expensive, but just as effective -- though Sweet Sweat gives off larger sweat globs), atop that use plastic wrap/saran wrap, THEN the waist belt, then I put on a long sleeve T before I wear a Kutting weight shirt (sold on Amazon - go 2 sizes above your normal size). I later added the Kutting weight pants too(again go 2-3 pant sizes up). Now do 10-15 min intensive cardio, then take a 15 min walk. You will not believe what you'll see sweat-wise. Do it 3-4 times a week for 2 months and you'll come back to thank me later. The Kuttting weight products are a bit steep for price but absolutely worth every cent. The waist belt (and Kutting weight products)is made of neoprene/velcro material. They're meant to trap body heat. Now, you stomach area has the poorest blood supply in the body thus easier for the gut to store fat since poor circulation guarantees less fuel burnt in that area during exercise.By trapping the heat in that area, your body is forced to compensate by causing the vessels to dilate, more blood to flow to get rid of that heat with the accompanying generation of sweat to cool down that area. Your body is now "forced" into using those fat stored in the "love handles" which it had been storing up.So yes, calories are burning, water is being shed, and weight is slowly but surly being lost AT a faster rate. Finally, factor in food consumption too. Less fast/junk foods the faster to reaching your goal. Hope this helped.

I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, spend a little extra money get a better bet.

When I go walking each morning, I clip it on my jogging pants waistline. It's okay there but as my waist tightens up, it feels less secure. I guess I need smaller pants! Yippee!

I am a 44 waist and prefer a xxxl shirt. I can wear some xxl, but prefer a little baggier fit. This vest fits me perfectly with a little left to spare on the adjustment straps. I highly recommend it for us bigger fellas.

I have, because I tightened it too tight. Just snug it up, and you'll be ok.

Mine is an inch smaller than yours and I use a medium it is pretty snug, but I like it that way. I also have a Large and it stays on ok once I get a sweat. I would not go smaller than a large for you. They work fantastic for me, I don't think you will be disapointed

I would say it is for males and females. It will compress somewhat when you cinch the waist strap (velcro). I'm only guessing but it may be uncomfortable for a "larger" woman. If you are only going to walk then there will be no problem. I (male) usually run with this vest and find that I fits better when cinched tightly using the attached, wide Velcro belt . The 40 1-pound weights come with it. You should add them symmetrically to the pockets in the vest to evenly distribute the weight. There are pockets in the front and back. Total of 40 pockets. I have used this vest to add resistance to my running exercise and would highly recommend it. Very good quality. I would say it is for males and females.

Yes, but... In my experience, it fit, but not snugly enough to stay on well.

Not that great for me. It keeps falling down once in a while. I am 5'3" and 120lbs. So I am actually not too small. I still use it, though.

I am a regular fit user and I find it very convinient. I don't think it is gone to be different for a plus size subject. Just like using a wide belt. Greate benefits during shooting. I like it a lot.

I did, but after buying another one in a smaller size, I didn't have this problem. It may be a sign that it is too big??

I got the extre long one and I would definitely say NO. I have 2 bungees and still had to work to STUFF the bag into a 'large' stuff sak. Maybe a guy could roll it tighter but not me.

I am smaller but I purchased two of these and had quite a bit of slack on the belt, I use it like a bandolier across my shoulder, this can also be used effectively as a belt. Very happy with this...TR

I have not had any problem with that issue.I've had it for about five months now. The tightness/fit is adjustable.

For average size folks it might. I am a pretty large man and this did not have the benefit that I needed. I returned it to Amazon and got another and that seems to help a little.

It won't be enough for a big man, I think. I am a little skinny, and the width was just okay to me. Anyway, for a big man, it probably gives a feeling of being stuck.

This one should work for you, and also gives you a workout if you keep using them, but If you plan on gaining more weight, get the bigger one.
