Manbra? Just kill me now.

Hi. I registered here anonymously because I have a horribly embarrassing question that I can only ask the internet.

I'm a guy in my 20s, 6'2", currently 238 lbs. I used to weigh like 320, but over the last few years I shrunk some of that crap down. Go me. What never seems to shrink are my horrible manbreasts. I am being serious. Yes. I'm very self-conscious about the stupid things, and want to get rid of them because seriously they're a constant self reminder of what a disgusting failure I still am.

Anyway, I have gotten to a point where I feel comfortable jogging on the treadmill. I'd like to jog and run again; it actually feels refreshing and no pain in the knees or what have you. The problem is my stupid fleshy manboobs make an audible ... slapping sound as I jog. Great. Add more to the self-consciousness. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP.

What the **** do I do? As a guy, I can't very well go out and buy myself a jogbra and expect to retain my man card. Do I go buy some sort of spandex undershirt, like UnderArmor or something? My cardio cycle is limited to walking at this rate, and while walking definitely is good, being able to comfortably jog would be pretty sweet for the self-confidence.

Also, along those lines, what is recommended for something along the lines of thigh chafing? Yes. My large sweaty manthighs can rub together during cardio and make the flesh raw. Biker shorts?

Nothing better than fat guys wearing spandex. Help me, internet.
 
I would maybe try one of those spandex shirts and put a t-shirt over it.. as for the legs, cant you just put on full length pants?
 
Try some pec exercises. Ask the guys at the gym for help. If this doesn't work, then you might need to consider surgery for them

The thighs - no problemo there! You've seen those compression tights on the market? Get a pair of them then put shorts over them. Problem solved and it looks good :)
 
For the thighs, wear compression shorts under loose fitting gym shorts. That will take care of that issue.

Doing pec exercises like bench press etc., will not get rid of the fat, which is what is causing your manboobs. Lowering your overall body fat % will reduce them. At 6'2", 238, unless you are quite muscular, you are still 30+ pounds overweight. And, with the very impressive weight you have already lost, there is probably some excess skin. So, wear a tight shirt under a looser shirt and you should be okay.
 
You could also purchase a 'Manbra' online. You won't have to deal with any embarrassment.
