To bad there isnt a group so that we can swap off clothes that have gotten too big. And get some that actually fit without spending a fortune as we lose weight. I get disgusted with my clothes or lack of.

    I've been living in comfy shorts and t-shirts. 2 out of the 3 of those about fall off. Everything I have is either too small or too big. Unsure what I will do this winter. All I have from last year are the sweat pants I bought to live in after the baby was born.
    Plus side is I have a lot of my smaller clothes still. My teenager has been wearing most of them. She's going to hate giving them back.

    Do you ever thrift store shop? You can find nice basics like dress pants and skirts in thrift store.

    I only wear dresses or skirts and blouses. I do go to thrift stores, but sometimes it is hard to find anything in the larger sizes. I cant wait until I get into some smaller sizes because it seems like everyone has the little clothes. I went yesterday and ended up crying my why home. I saw quite a few things in 2X and 3X. I am thankful to say that I dont wear that size anymore. Now I am either around a XL or 1X in skirts because of my big hips. And wearing and XL tops. I saw lots of mediums and smalls but not much in between. My weight loss has slowed down so much it gets very depressing and shopping dont help matters.

    Where is the group on facebook? I looked, but could not find it.
    This sounds like a great idea!

    I got a new wardrobe at a thrift store. (I just purchased key pieces that fit better than clothes that were literally falling off)

    Try freecycle.org.
    You can make an ad for wanted and see if maybe anyone in your area has clothes to get rid of.
