So I started losing weight January of last year and am now somewhere between 55-60 lbs lost. I have slowly been rebuilding my wardrobe because 1) it's expensive to do it all at once and 2) I'm still losing and don't want to get too much that won't fit me in another few months.

I started out my journey in XL shirts and size 38-40 pants. The below picture has me back in medium clothing and a size 32 jean :D My wife and I went out this weekend and thought we'd go see if there were any deals and just happened to find some dress shirts and sweaters that were 60% off and then the coat in the picture as well for 85% off!!! I had still been wearing a wool peacoat that could almost fit another person in it with me.

    Way to go on your progress with losing the weight, and especially on finding affordable, quality clothes in your new size. For me, it made a huge difference to switch to clothes that fit my 'new body', and was a confidence booster that encouraged me to carry on! Well done, and all the best as you continue to build your fit lifestyle.

    Thanks! That size 32 jean also represents what I wore in High School 15+ years ago.

    Yes @Ideabaker‌, clothes that fit are an incredible confidence booster. I never knew how much I loved clothes until I felt like I looked good in them.

    Score on the impressive weight loss and double score on the good deals! This is a great time of year to scoop up bargains for next fall and winter's clothing. Smart (*) (*) (*)

    Heh, weight loss is a bit like time travel.

    I'm currently at my weight as of 1998 or so.

    Great job - wait until this summer and you don't have to wear those bulky sweaters and jackets. It will be awesome!

    Yeah, I'm currently trying to drop another 10-15lbs of fat to have abs that show for the summer. "Should" be there by the end of April, beginning of May :D Never had that in my life!
