When do you buy new clothes?

I have officially lost 32 lbs and haven't bought any clothes to replace my old ones. Most of my jeans are litterally falling off of me. In jeans i was a size 19 but now i'm working on a size 14/15. It makes me feel good when i find something else I don't fit into...as well as frustrated. But soon the frustration goes away because i find something i haven't fit in since i was a sophomore in high school (almost 4 years ago).
I'm putting off buying clothes because it's so expensive. My mother promised that when i reached my goal she would help me pay for them. I love my mother

I started getting clothes at the Goodwill. You can find a lot of good stuff there. I started with an 18, bought 16, then 14 and have some 12s already. When they get too big I give them back. They have dollar day on Thursdays. I still have a ways to go, not sure how far. Good luck.

I do the same thing, went today and got 2 new pair of jeans, 2 sweaters, a purse, blouse and dress for my daughter all for $48. When they get to big will will give them to the local homeless shelter and go back for more. Where I live you can get jeans for $6, sweaters for $5, you can't beat that especially if you know your not going to be wearing them long. Good luck on your journey!

I'm wondering the same. I've been at my goal weight for a couple months but now that I'm working out, my shape is changing and I've been dropping inches from my waist/hips still. My issue is that I'm super picky and only wear one type of pants for work (Express Editor pants) and they're expensive. I've been wearing a belt but I'm at the last hole on the belt and the waist of the pants are all bunched up from trying to tighten them enough to keep them from falling off lol. Finally going to suck it up and just buy a couple pairs in the current size (once I find out what that is!) when a good coupon rolls around.

I buy my in-between clothes (from now to goal weight) at discount stores and clothing donation stores like Goodwill. There is a few Savers in town here which are all donated clothing so as I go down pant sizes I buy from there if I can, though I am also a tall girl with long legs and a large frame so it's difficult but when you find that perfect size for 30 dollars cheaper than you would have gotten at a department store and you'll need smaller pants in a month or two, why not?

Edited to add- 2 years ago when I started this (and am now back after a year gone) I bought a pair of designer, tag-on /gorgeous/ pair of 98 dollar jeans at Savers for just 13 dollars. They are so beautiful and they are /so/ small! I don't know if I'll ever fit in them but I really hope I do. I also bought a few other things, shirts, dresses, all for very cheap and all within my goal weight (hopefully). It's great and cheap motivation!

i've been making sure my inbetween clothes have elastic waists. means they will last a bit longer as i can get a slightly smaller size and shrink into it.
get rid of the clothes that are too big, unless like me you've only worn them once or twice and can get you some $$ if you list them on ebay! But hide them at the back of your cupboard until you list them; dont get tempted to fit back into them!

I would buy some new things. Just sayin it feels good to reward yourself along the way. You don't have to go crazy but at least a couple pairs of pants and maybe even a top or two. You don't have to buy brand new during this time. Try consignment or second hand too.

I'm waiting to lose my weight before I buy clothes as an added incentive.
