    I'm buying new stuff as I go along. I'm losing slowly so I still get plenty of wear out of them. I refuse to look crappy during this process. It's demotivating.

    The hardest part is making several trips to the dressing room. Was so used to going straight to the 44/42" waist pants and XXL shirts....now I have to remind myself that I wear 36" and L sized shirts.

    Oh and OP...you should wear me : )

    YES. I've replaced everything in my wardrobe multiple times. It's out of necessity partly, but also because I feel so much better about myself when I'm in clothes that fit (why look frumpy?). Gets expensive, but losing weight/becoming healthy is worth every hour at the gym, dollar spent, etc.

    Go for whatever you feel good in/whatever highlights what you like about your body. I have a bigger bust and a relatively small waist (and a huge tummy), so I wear a lot of empire waist dresses and tops that camouflage my middle.

    There will be a day when I jones for a bodycon dress, but today is not that day. You however, might be able to pull it off :)

    I went on Pinterest and found a bunch of outfits that had components of clothes I have, then I put my outfits together using the pins as a guide :)

    I go for pieces that i can taylor, anthing that gives me great curves in a garment! Curves are sexy and i find that if I feel sexy I'm more confident about the way that I look, even though i have a LONG way to go!

    When you get in good shape you can wear anything you like. Just make sure it puts the lotion on its skin.

    You win this one.


    Anyway, I am down 20 lb, and I have sort of lost interest in clothes shopping for the time being. I bought some pants that stay up without a belt, but other than that, I just wear whatever still sort of fits. It's sort of surprising--I would have expected me to go crazy and buy everything I can lay my hands on in size 6. But I have other things to occupy me, like spending way too much time on the MFP boards.

    Sounds like we have about the same build. I need to get more dresses I can belt at the waist to highlight that and camouflage the belly.

    Great idea! :) This is part of what I'm doing! Pinterest and Polyvore. Trying to make something great out what I have now.

    Yeah, I am actually enjoying shopping much less than I used too, and yet I feel like I have more of a need for things to wear. Trying to figure out sizes is still weird for me, since I used to know what size in what brand and now it's like starting over and that makes shopping boring and tiring.

    when it comes to trying stuff on I'm the opposite, when I'm a much larger size, I see pants etc that seem way too big, but they fit.
    but when I'm average sized again, I can tell by looking if it will or wont'. so it's like I have this image of myself still as that person, even now seeing myself in pictures. I simply don't recognize myself. I very rarely feel like that, like I am the larger size. I feel like I'll just wake up and be able to wear all the stuff I wore before.

    my style is pretty much non existent. I prefer to wear jeans and t-shirts, workout clothes most of the time, but It'll be nice when I want to dress more girly I can, so the difference would be wearing skirts once in awhile. and finding shorts that fit. I'm having a hard time finding anything other than capri pants.

    I'm tempted to wear the same cardigan in three colors with the same slacks ot work everyday and then just wear the same jeans and handful of t-shirts every day outside of work, but I'm trying to avoid this. Weirdly, as I get older I feel like it's more important to have style. I just haven't entirely nailed mine down yet and weight loss and sizing are kind of confusing the issue for me right now.

    Yeah, it's weird, isn't it? Definitely not what I was expecting.

    I do wear my dresses more. I have broad shoulders, so if the dress fits in the shoulders, the whole thing is still wearable. I do recommend buying at least a couple of pairs of pants or skirts, whichever you wear more, that actually fit well. Even if you plan to lose more weight. Having a well-fitting bottom garment makes dressing less depressing; shirts generally sort of work even if they are loose, but bottoms do not.

    Congrats! I wore my first bikini ever this past weekend on my trip to FL! It was awesome.

    <<-- I always wanted to wear short shorts and a hoodie or loose sweater on the beach (simple and silly I know) but I go to do that too!

    Summer's coming in Tennessee. I get that last bit of weight off and it's all tiny tank tops, cut off jeans and cowboy boots until the cold comes back. :)

    my expensive designer skinny clothes. the ones i wore before i gained the weight. i rolled that wardrobe up and stuck it in a rubbermaid tub in my closet. it'll be nice to wear my BEBE stuff again. Some of the jeans still have the hangtags. I'm about 10 lb away...
