My clothes don't fit!

Clearance racks at JC Penney, Old Navy, and Gap.
Especially if you have an outlet near you.
I bought a pair of pants from the Gap for like 3$ and a skirt for 2$

Consignment stores most def!

Also, oldnay.com, combine coupons plus their clearance pricing and you can get a lot

If you have time, you can list the clothes that are too big for you on Listia (www.listia.com), then use your points to get some smaller ones. It's all free--some listings even have free shipping.

The site has lots of categories--it's not only for clothing.

goodwill. :P

First of all congratulations. I know for myself (guy) I was able to go to a tailor and have my work clothes taken in at a fraction of the cost of buying new. It may be an option for some of your items to get more wear out of them.

congratulations and wherever you find smaller clothes-enjoy it!! BE PROUD of your accomplishment-show the world!!

THRIFT STORES!!!:flowerforyou:

Go buy clothes. Seriously. It is important for you to appreciate your new figure. Just buy what you need and don't go overboard but buy flattering nice clothes and keep working.

And check to see if you have a Ross near you, you can get some nice clothes pretty cheap there, too.

Thrift shops or other women in the family that are a size smaller.....

Most definately, Thrift Stores are the way to go. You can get things that sometimes still have tags on them and the prices can't be beat. I've been doing it for YEARS. If you do go there, look for things that look new. Thats my motto. No one will ever know unless you tell them. My friends and I go and absolutly fill out trunks with bags of clothes. I love it. The fun part is the FIND. Enjoy and Congrats on your weight loss. Well done!!!

I love Goodwill and looking around on Ebay...You can find new or gently used clothes at both places for relatively cheap prices! I also shop to clearance racks A LOT! WTG and keep up the good work!

I have lost about 42 lbs. so far and am finding that all of my clothes are just hanging off of me, especially my pants! This is bittersweet, because I am beyond excited that I can really see the difference in my weight loss because everything I wear is too big. However, I look horrible wearing baggy clothes, AND I am hiding the fact that I have lost weight under these tents I'm wearing. My favorite thing to wear now is exercise clothes because it's when I can tell a difference in my shape and figure. Ugh, it's just frustrating to be wearing baggy clothes all the time. I don't want to buy new clothes because I plan on losing more and more weight and don't want to buy anything new that will just be too big as well. I also don't want to spend much money on buying new clothes quite yet. Wearing belts don't help either. Any suggestions out there of what to do? Anyone else gone through this too and have any tips??

Go to Goodwill. I always find name brand clothes that look barely worn. Anything to hold you over until you get to your goal and get a brand new wardrobe.

:flowerforyou: Oh and then sell your big clothes on EBAY and make a few bucks

oh wow you sound exactly like me! i have lost 60lbs and am still going for my goal of losing 25 more. when my coworkers,family, and fiance all started to make comments on how my clothes were looking to big i knew i too had a problem. it was good that i had lost the weight but unfortunately my weight loss happened at a time that my pockets weren't able to accomadate the change. i suggest going to stores where the prices are a little cheaper (of course quality will also be compromised) but for the time being it will at least get you out of the "tents" and into something a little more figure flattering. as you loose more weight take those things to a shop like platos closet where they buy your clothes and give you cash and use that money for new threads.

congrats on the weight loss and keep it up!

I know this, even if I am far away from my goal. I bought new bras first. I used to wear 42 E, and now I had to buy 38F. They make a huge difference. Even my baggy tops are much better now.

Thrift stores, Ebay and consignment stores are an option. If you have friends or family that's losing weight, you can do a clothes swap with them. I understand not wanting to buy a bunch of new clothes but you may have to get a few wardrobe staple pieces. Hopefully, you can get them for cheap.

I am going through the same thing. And right now I am between sizes so nothing fits correctly. Baggy and saggy! Lol. :laugh:
Definitely try Ross, TJMaxx, Marshall's or eBay. Anything to hold you over until you reach your goal weight.

Congrats on the progress too!:bigsmile:

Well done x

You could always get yourself a brand new Primarni Outfit.

And on the plus side, get your old clothes on Ebay and make a bit as well, I have done quite well out of this. Just noticed someone else has alreayd posted this suggestion but am going to leave it on anyway.

dbratton87

Just buy a few cheap things every month or two weeks. I hit up Kohl's, Target, and resale shops. I refuse to look like crap until I reach my goal. I wanna feel good about how I look. No way am I punishing myself for all the progress I have made. I actually enjoy clothes shopping now. I think you should let yourself get a few things.
