    Yep, give them to charity. I had a wardrobe clear out not too long ago and gave away 10+ pairs of shorts. I'll be gutted if I ever put the weight back on cos I'll have nothing but sweatpants to wear!

    Consignment stores are great cause u can trade larger sizes for smaller sizes. Or sell on Vinted.

    After I went from a 14 to a 4/6 my co-worker started a weight loss journey and I gave her a lot of my clothes after she got down to the size 12/14 range. My cousin just had a baby a few months ago and is bigger than she normally is, so I gave her most of my other clothes. I have some really nice dresses that are way too big on me but that I LOVE, so I plan to get them altered once I reach my goal weight.

    I sell my things on ebay - anything that doesn't sell, i'd give away to charity :smile:

    I take the nicer things to consignment shops. I've also arranged clothing swaps with friends in the past. (You all bring clothes you don't want and then just shop. That only works if you're all roughly the same size.) Anything that's not worthy of consignment gets donated.

    A local seamstress took them in a size or two. The others I gave away or tossed.

    I'm boxing mine up and hanging on to them. I hope that they never fit again but as my wife so kindly pointed out that I have yo-yo'd in weight before. I'll donate them in 2 years.

    My biggest clothes are so beat up by now, that I will likely just toss them… They are not even in good enough condition to donate. I've been refusing to buy new fat clothes for a long time, and wearing the same thing over and over and over! Fortunately, I've kept all my smaller clothes in bins in my garage, so I'll be able to go shopping in my own garage pretty soon!

    I donate mine to Goodwill as I know how hard it was to find big sizes used for men and how pricey they can be.

    Local hospitals will take them (like the emergency room and inpatient psych). They get people in by ambulance in various states of dress and not everyone has someone to bring stuff for them. Also good for the homeless people that come in. I just took a couple bags over this morning. :)
