Loose clothing happy moment- Welcome to share yours

I can TOTALLY relate! Today I am wearing dress capris and a sweater that I haven't been able to wear in the last few years because they wouldn't fit. Now the pants are so baggy I have them cinched with a belt!

I was at the store last week looking at some capris to work out in. I automatically grabbed a Large out of habit, bought them, got home, and could not keep them up. They were huge!!! What... NO WAY??? I have to return them for a medium. This was a huge NSV for me. I haven't been able to buy anything but L and XL for the past couple of years. I caught myself doing this the other day too. This time I was looking at work out tops and I went for the L, but had to stop myself. I don't wear a L/XL anymore. Grabbed the medium, tried it on and it fit great.

Congrats!!! I felt the same way this weekend when I put on an older pair of skinny jeans and had to change because they were so baggy I could take them off and on without undoing the button! :drinker:

Isn't it great?! My problem is even more pronounced because I've lost 60 pounds (started before I found MFP), and nothing fits. Yes, pants come off without unbuttoning, but also won't stay up (LOL). Since I'm not finished, I'm slowly replacing wardrobe. I was at that higher weight for many years so nearly all of my clothes are larger - 1x or 2x. Now I'm an XL or L depending. Since I'm not vain I'll continue to wear baggy pants when they have no structure. Now have a few new tops that don't look too bad.

Keep up the good work. And rememer that if you're not finished, don't go out and buy the store. LOL

that's a really awesome NSV (non scale victory!).

I had one recently where my swimsuit bottoms kept creeping up on me when I was swimming so I went to "adjust" them out of my rear end, and there was a gap about 1/2 an inch from my skin to the swimsuit. So it's actually too big! I've had this same suit for over 10 years and it's been VERY tight at time or fit but it's never, ever been too big. I smiled for the remainder of my laps!

I am starting to notice my shirts being a bit loose, which I keep denying is happening, but I know it is. lol

Luckily, I talked myself into keeping a few of my old favorites in a bag in the closet. Out of curiosity, I grabbed a pair of gray slacks out of the bag this morning and surprised myself when I was able to zip them. They are a smaller size than what I was currently wearing and I am glad I didn't have to run out and buy anything new (that fun will come after goal is reached).

I know this may sound dumb but I just wanted to share my happy moment I had last night. I put on the workout shirt that I wore the first week I started turbofire(that day it was almost too short on me and almost tight). However, last night when I put it on and it was baggy and halfway down my butt. It was huge. I didnt not think there would be a big difference in my clothes since ive only lost 12 pounds. It made me feel good and gave me a reason to keep pushing.

The "fat pants" that I bought myself before I found MFP and began to believe in myself are completely unwearable now. It actually took a staff member at my gym about 12 lbs ago to tell me that I *really* needed to buy new pants. :blushing:

The pair I'm wearing right now I will be very glad to swap out when they are legitimately too big . . . because right now they fit perfectly in the morning and look gross and saggy by night-time. I will be more conscious of fit with the next pair and get a pair without *too* much stretch! I have a nice bum now that's getting nicer every day. Life's too short for saggy jeans!

I've been in a size 12 pants since having my first son. I had to go shopping for new clothes a month or so ago bc they were all too big and now the 9's and 10's I bought a month ago are baggy
