    Celebrate your loss - take a new photo in your skinny clothes and post it on the fridge with one of your old photos .... you will learn that you do look better and begin to realize even though the clothes seem tighter, that you ARE smaller!:flowerforyou:

    I have been purchasing some jeans at the Goodwill. Amazing how many good jeans you can get there. Anyway I started out at size 20, then got some 18s, 16s, 14s, and even some 12s. I got these on dollar day or at my local thrift store where stuff is only 50 cents. I buy the ones that look like new. As I get smaller I take them back and donate them, it's like renting clothes. Really helps with the budget and keeps the closet in check. So far I am now in the 14s. I noticed a couple were loose so tried a 12. Almost there. Since all my pants used to have elastic waists wearing jeans feels good. I still have a lot to lose but as I go down in jean size they are tighter and have a muffin top hanging over. But I tell myself how far I have come from a 20 down to a 14 even though they were tight. I still feel really good and even better as they get looser. Just remind yourself how far you have come. Good luck!!

    This is a great idea! Especially jeans! I'm totally going to do this! How great that you are down, too, as well as the original poster! Congrats.

    I have lost sixty-eight pounds and hae gone form a size 22W to a 14. For me I was so thrilled to need smaller clothes that I donated the fat clothes ASAP. When clothes become too big for me I donate them to charity. In my town there are actually donation bins set up at different sites where you can just drive up and donate clothes and shoes.
