    Yeah, I have spent so much on temporary clothes this year. I get thrift stores and clearance as much as I can but it adds up when you drop 127 lbs in 14 months. And, it's starting to get cold here and all of my coats and sweaters are too big.

    Not sure about the coats, but if you know someone with a serger (sewing machine), they could probably take up the side seams and alter away several sizes. Just a thought. I did it to a few sweaters that were just to pretty to give away! I began my journey at 315 pounds and am now 201 (I can TASTE the '1'zies).

    Most people would say this is good but it is damn annoying ..

    My pants are constantly falling down. This was once an NSV for me because I'd never needed a belt before .. Buuttt, some of my work pants (which is what I wear almost everyday) don't have belt loops which means no belt.

    I find it frustrating and am VERY self conscious about having to yank up my pants every time I feel them slip or get up from a chair - UGH!!

    I know the solution - go buy new clothes but my whole plan was not to spend money during my "transition stage" and go wild once I hit goal weight!!! *end rant*

    Thanks for the awesome thread ;) And I'm so sorry to hear about your ring!! I stopped wearing mine due to the same fear..

    I did that too! A few years ago ... my engagement ring ... $10,000 ring slipped off in some wrapping paper in the bottom of a trash bag. We narrowed it down to that being the ONLY place it could be, and since we had taken the trash out to the big dumpster earlier in the day, my husband jumped into the dumpster, dug around and found OUR trash (yes, it was gross) and there, in the bottom of the bag, with some broken glass, was my ring. So LUCKY to have found it and to have a husband that would root around in a dumpster LOL! I hope you find yours.

    All of my clothes are too big. I don't want to buy new ones because they won't last long. I bought a pair of jeans from a thrift store 2 weeks ago and they are too big already. Too big clothes are almost as unflattering as too tight clothes are.

    I also can't wear my favorite ring anymore. I got it last Christmas and it's so pretty, but I'm afraid I'll lose it if I wear it. I don't want to get it re-sized yet, as I am still losing weight and don't want to have to keep going back and having it resized.

    Yep - Non-Scale Victory.

    Realizing I bought too many lightweight coats for this time of year, and they will be too big in 2 months.

    One of the reasons I decided to lose weight was because I wasn't able to fit in all of my clothes and I didn't want to spend the money to buy new ones. Now my formally tight clothes are loose. So I may have to buy new clothes anyway--curses (and hooray).

    I've only lost a little bit so far, but my summer pants that were too tight last summer are way too loose for this summer. With Christmas coming up, the last thing I want to do is spend money on new clothes for work.

    I'm going to have to go to all the 'op shops' I can find and keep my fingers crossed that I find something.

    Exciting that the weight after all these years is disappearing but so frustrating at the same time, why oh why did I throw out my old tight clothes? lol

    Get them tailored a bit! A few tucks at the waist will do wonders, and it will tide you over a bit more until you buy a new set of clothes.

    This is my problem too, my work pants (which I also wear 5-6 days of the week) don't have belt loops and they are constantly needing to be pulled up! I'd hate to have to buy a million more pairs of work pants.

    I'm scared of my wedding band getting loose :(

    I think i will have to buy it again if it stops fitting me...

    It was a tiny bit too small to start with, now its comfortable and i just hope my fingers dont shrink too much...

    My FAVORITE pair of skinny jeans are too loose after one wear instead of 3 or 4, now, and I can't afford to do laundry that much! That being said, I wouldn't mind if it weren't 32º and snowing outside, requiring me to wear some kind of skinny pant leg to wear big boots overtop. I feel your pain! I've actually lost two rings that were dear to me, though only one due to my fingers being smaller. That being said, my ring size was always 7-8 and that's rather big for a 5'3 girl! Now that I'm a 5-6 I feel much more elegant. :3 *end randomly long rant*

    All of the weight I've lost appears to be from my butt and thighs...and NONE from my belly. So all my pants are waaaayyyy too big around everything but my waist...it's nice to have some extra room, but I can't fit into the next size down! :/

    I look like a hobo in my winter coat from last year, and I wasn't planning on buying a new one for at least another month, but I'm FREEZING! :sad:

    Clothes! I made several sweatskirts (long skirts made out of sweat pants) and now they are literally sliding off of me. They are so comfy, I just adore them, but now way too big. If I alter them it will ruin the stretchy waist. I don't want to make more until I hit my goal weight, which is 48 pounds away...blah.

    I've been wearing my wedding and engagement ring on my middle finger for the last month :cry: Until we have the money to get it sized, and until I decide that I am 'small enough' :wink: it will have to do. My husband doesn't love that it is not on my ring finger but happy that I am still wearing it and haven't lost it.

    Well, if I had paid $10,000 for an engagement ring, you can bet I'd be rooting around in the garbage to find it, too. LOL :laugh:
