How do I know when I am at a good weight?

jemhh

I cannot imagine not getting any new clothes for 45 pounds. For me, that was about 8 or 9 months and took me through 3 seasons. It's not wasteful to look presentable and most people get at least one new outfit over an 8 or 9 month period even when not losing weight. I understand not wanting to sink a lot of money into a new wardrobe at each size but if you shop carefully you can get clothes that look nice, make you feel good, and are inexpensive.
