I've read a lot of posts about how people have been able to shed their 'fat' clothes and wear smaller sizes, which is excellent! So why don't you start selling some of these clothes on eBay? Eventually, you're going to have a whole new wardrobe (it's horrible, what repercussions weight loss has :laugh:) , so what better way to make some money to go towards this than waving goodbye to your old clothes for good?!

Just a thought. :)

    I donate mine, either to a friend or someone in need.

    I can't wait until I can get out of my fat clothes. I don't have enough clothes to bother selling though and the quality isn't good enough for donating. I have 3 pairs of pants. That's it. I have a bunch of shirts but most of them I will wear even when I lose weight and have been wearing from 160-220.

    I do agree though that eBay is a great idea for normal women who actually have clothes.

    I take mine to charity shops hoping they might make a little bit of money.

    I've also gotten rid of clothes by taking them to Goodwill or giving them to a friend.

    Selling on Ebay takes too long for my tastes, and I don't want to deal with mailing each individual sale off just to make a couple bucks. It's much more worthwhile to me to get rid of everything quickly and easily, and have it all be gone and forgotten about.

    I got rid of mine through the 'bags to school' programme. The school gets money for each kg. Believe me they made money and i got rid of my old stuff. I have a bag in the hall right now half filled for the next one which is in October, hopefully i can fill another bag and drop another dress size 2 dress sizes lost already 2 to go!

    I'm going to take mine to a consignment shop that pays cash for them, no worrying have them selling and then getting money for them. I'll take my newer, nicer ones there and donate the rest I think.

    am just starting to notice that trousers are getting loose and belts need to be done up an extra notch. Am looking forward to having to need new clothes because they are too big instead of too small :laugh:
