DONATE!
As soon as they were too loose for my taste they got donated! NOT going back!0 -
I never really lost an amount of weight that will prompt me to give away my clothes. But I agree with the consignment shops. That way you don't have choice of sliding back (you would have to spend money and buy new clothes). Also, you will get some money to buy yourself new ones and celebrate your success with shopping!0

I've yo-yoed a few times this is my second time trying to loose 40+ lbs. Last year after I lost majority of my weight in July I went through my entire wardrobe and gave about 50% to charity, ear-,marked 25% for alterations when the differece was significant and put some really lovely pieces in my attic as a "pregnancy wardrobe" no I'm not looking ot have babies but it is for when i may have a reason to gain weight so I don't think oh I'll wear them when I've gained the weight back - but I may need them for a happier reason.
Funnily enough I got quite ill at the end of last year and so the 25% earmarked for alterations came back into circluation unaltered. Now having trimmed down a bit again I'm going though to up date what I'll be wearing for the next month of so.
I don't mind donating the cheap stuff but the designer stuff is getting altered or e-bayed.0 -
Tank you all! I think my hesitation may also stem from the fact that I do not fully realise it yet, the amount of weight I lost... I keep telling myself that I may gain 6 pounds tomorrow and quickly get back to my big weight. Maybe it's because I weighed so much all these years...0

eBay, made loads of money selling them :drinker:0

I donated them to charity.0

I gave mine away. I was getting clothes from friends so once I lost enough, I got rid of the older, big stuff. I figure that if people helped me, I would love to help someone else. Why throw good clothes away when people need them?0

Goodwill & consignment shops. There is no point in a back-up plan because you will then fall into that plan. Challenge yourself, and if any of us do backslide, it's best to pay the consequences so we won't want to ever again. :-)0

Don't tempt fate. Give them away. I did......there is no going back this time.0
-
Gave away most, put the others away for a year. They are suits, which are expensive. My goal is that if I am able to keep the weight off for at least one year, then I will get rid of them for good.0

I have given away some and taken some to Goodwil.0
-
GARAGE SALE! and what doesn't sell goes to Goodwill or Salvation Army.0
-
I donate the nicer items, today I am attempting to turn the more beat up ones into a rag rug. Also I kept a pair of fat pants and a fat shirt....just in case.0
-
Everything went into the recycling bin. They sort out what can be donated and what not.0

I donate everything I can (as long as it's not undergarments and is in fairly good condition). I started a tradition (when moving nonetheless) of going through my closet and drawers each year and getting rid of all of the clothing I had that either didn't fit or that I hadn't worn in over a year, with the exception of a pair of jeans in a smaller size (to work toward) and some cute dress clothes in smaller sizes that I hope to fit into again. The idea of shopping for a new wardrobe in smaller sizes is a huge motivator for me. I would never just throw away good clothes because I "outlost" them...because someone out there can use them. I'm actually between sizes now and look forward to making my next donation to Goodwill (for the usable stuff) and the garbage can (for the "holy" stuff).0

I've given them to the local charity shop. And bought 'new' ones from the charity shop!!! Cheaper than buying new, especially while I'm still losing weight!0

Donate. I donated bags full of clothes that was way to big on me. I took them took Goodwill. Then a friend of mine told me to start giving them to her. I have gave her several bags full of clothes.0
-
I gave some to Goodwill. For some good quality pants, I went to a really good tailor who was able to alter them. At $17 to $25 a pair, it was still cheaper than entirely buying new ones. On the other hand, while I don't like shopping, I love the range of things I can now try on and LIKE what I see!0
-
I gave some to friends, some to charity and some to the recycling bin. I don't ever intend going back to my old weight so those clothes are useless to me now0
-
I got rid of mine - it was my way of saying "I WONT be this size again". But I dont throw any clothes away unless they are truly gargabe (ripped, torn, stained). I either leave them at a clothing donation pickup or take them to Goodwill.0
