    Take them to a consignment shop. You can buy new-to-you clothes with the money from selling your old clothes.

    Whatever you do don't keep them. I have kept them in the past only to grow back into them. You can write off $4,999.00 a year from donations to goodwill. I also have given away a lot of clothes in the past few months.

    I am holding on to my size 60 suit. Down to a size 48 now.

    I'm still wearing all my fat clothes! 6lb off so far tho and only a week in......... so in a few months time, I reckon my gorgeous boy rats are gonna be loving all their new home made tunnels, ladders, bridges and nesting materials ;D...I'm gonna keep 1 pair of my fattest jeans just to compare, and keep me on the straight and narrow.

    I donated most items and I also consigned some as well. When consigning, I was able to build up an account so I could buy clothes at smaller sizes during my weight loss journey.

    Give them to your jealous "fat" friends, who did not support you during this process :)))))) I've read that happens a lot, so don't get mad, get even :)

    I would say go to this site called bookoo dot com and locate your area and sell them on there! its much easier than EBAY because you dont have to ship, its better than Craigslist because its kinda catered to military bases so its more safe!

    I dont really have any FAT clothes because last time I lost weight I gifted them to my sister in law and i bought all new size 16 and 14. So now i am in the 14s really good but i still swap into my 16s sometimes! so until i get to a size 12 i will hold onto them! I havent been able to shop anywhwere but Lane Bryant and Ashley stewart in a while so everything is name brand but i dont care what name is on it as long as its CUTE!

    Now my NSV is a pair of pants i bought from The Limited about 5 years back when I had lost weight unintentionally, they are a size 12 cassidy fit!!!!!!!!!!! When I get back into those...................Im going to go on a SPREE! New everything! I already wear a Limited L tops due to my upper half being so much smaller than my bottom portion so a M top from there and a 12 bottom would have me ecstatic!

    I've given a lot to charity, but now some of my "investment pieces" are falling off me, I've started selling on eBay. I have to afford the smaller replacement clothes somehow!

    Cedarhurst, your insulin signature is very cool. Congratulations.

    Thank you!! It's amazing what can happen when you actually listen to your doctor. He told me I would have to lose weight in order to stop feeling like a human pin cushion (testing 6x a day and insulin 4x a day). So, I changed my life. I will always be a diabetic but my doc said at my last appointment that I am no longer "classified" a diabetic. My A1C has been consistently in range. Woohoo!!! I am living proof that it can happen and try to share my experiences with as many as I can.

    I agree with everyone who says don't keep them! I use Freecycle to give things away, it is a Yahoo group. See if there is one in your area.

    I usually give to the Salvation Army, but with all the flooding that's happened here in Northeast PA, I'm going donate them that will GIVE the clothes to those in need, not sell them. :smile:

    ( I realize that the money earned from the Salvation Army goes to help needy people, and helps provide jobs for those in need. I'm not saying Sally's is a bad thing. )

    If the clothes are expensive or specialist (Like, custom made or extra long) I sell them on Ebay if they are in good condition.

    Other clothes I pass onto friends/ family.

    Clothing that's 'well loved' (or just plain- 'what was I thinking') gets recycling.
