So I went to Walmart today to pick up some cheap clothes, because I don't want to have to spend a lot while I'm still (planning on) losing more weight.

So far, I've gone from a 48" pants to a 42" pants.
An XXXL shirt to an XL shirt.
And I'm on my 3rd new belt.

    Yeah, I'm having the same 'problem' and loving it. The biggest pain is not buying clothes that look good on me because I know I'm still losing, and it'll just look baggy on me in a month. I've gone from a 44/46 pant to a 36. From XXL shirts to LT shirts.

    awesome feeling, isn't it?? Great job!! Someone suggested Goodwill - i'd also say any thrift store or consignment shop are good places to go. Keep up the good work

    Congratulations!

    I'm going to have to do some shopping soon myself. I started out about 10 lbs shy of your initial weight. I've dropped from size 46 pants to size 42.

    Great job! I'd also suggest Men's Wearhouse. They have a very liberal return policy and have had no problem letting me exchange jeans for different sizes over the past couple of months

    Don't feel bad about buying clothes at Walmart, that is where I buy my everyday clothes anyways..... My friend buys these name brand really expensive clothes..... lets just say.. I have 4 thousand saved in the bank and he's broke LOL A man can only wear one pair of shoes at a time and this dude has 55+ why...

    but congrats on the buying of new clothes and i wish you more success in the future.

    I don't really feel bad, but I do plan to buy some nicer things (as a reward) when I hit my goal. I don't usually spend much on clothes and have generally bought stuff the bigger department stores that carried my size (Jc Penney, Sears, and occasionally Walmart).

    It's just this time I bought the cheapest jeans I could find ($10) and the cheapest t-shirts ($7.50).

    I own 2 pairs of shoes. Dress and casual. I almost (thankfully) never have to wear the dress shoes. :)

    Awesome. I have to remind myself not to go to the big sized racks anymore! I have gotten some very nice dress pants at thrift shops.
