    How often are you changing your clothes size?

    I too have stopped updating my ticker >> Too triggering for some. :)

    @Lingerie and Workout Wear. I'm finding that I HAVE TO replace my lingerie sets and some workout wear once every month now. When I'd started, I had to purchase new sets of lingerie for casual, dressy and workout every 2 weeks. Ridiculous!! I was shrinking and well, they were unsuitable - fit funny. lol

    @Clothing. Initially I thought to use what I already had(from my skinny days) and just purchase a new set of clothes later, once I was done. Well that changed. Now, I'm having to take in my UK6's ... Completed that task over Memorial Day Weekend!

    When I'm done > MAJOR shopping Spree. :)

    The first 55 lbs i only lost 2 sizes, the last 25 lbs (sins feb. 1st) I lost a whopping 3 sizes :laugh:

    WOW! That is good to know though as I just feel like I'm losing weight and it's not showing at all. People say they can tell but I just don't see it yet.

    At my heaviest (168) I was about a 14-16 I think. I am currently between a 5- 8 depending on the brand at 137 pounds. Usually closer to a 6 or so.

    I barely have to buy new clothes, it's pretty sad. :S I don't know why. I've been at this for a year and a half and I'm 144 pounds, and have gone from a horribly tight 14 to a comfortable 10. I've lost 56 pounds.

    Well since Jan 1st, 2013 I have lost 25 lbs I went from a size 12 to an 8 in 5 months time and I still have 16 left to lose so I can just imagine what will happen. When I was my goal weight before my children and marriage and what not 105-110 I was a size 2 or 4 and before my children at 120 I was a size 6 so who knows whats next. After losing 6lbs I will have to see what size I wear.Id love to be a size 6 again ;)

    I've lost 126 pounds to date. Changed pants sizes from 48 to 34. It may suck to keep spending money on new clothes, but I'll gladly pay for compliments any day haha.

    Not often enough! I look forward to dropping sizes, but it's not happening. However, it is partly my fault. I was originally size 7-9, and started to gain weight in college. i refused to buy bigger clothes and managed to stay in my oxygen-depleting size 9 jeans. At one point my jeans wore out and had to get new ones, size 11 this time. I am sure those were not my size either, I was probably more like a 14...but refused to buy that. So... 30 lbs lighter after my highest weight, I am still wearing size 9-11, but they fit better and I can actually breath! I am looking to be size 7. I am sure I need to drop 25 more lbs to be there. So my point is that sometimes we don't see a drastic change in size as we lose weight, because we refused to change sizes as we gained weight, even though it was necessary.

    I have lost 4 sizes so far. And let me tell you, getting a few new clothes can be really motivating. So, if you can afford a couple new shirts and a pair of jeans, DO IT! :smile:

    I am down a few sizes by now, when I started I was between 18 and 20 UK size, now I'm a size 12. It's a wonderful feeling to be able to get a dress size 12, sometimes I have to get a 14 but that is for places that the clothes are usually smaller, I can even fit in a 10 if I go to Pepperberry. My goal size is a perfect 10, so I'm trying not to get many things before getting there, It's not long now.
    I am from Brazil and last time I went to visit my mum was in horror with my size, so she took me shopping but bought only things that wouldn't fit me for motivation, so all I had that still fitted me comfortably was 1 pair of jeans and some old t-shirts, I thought it was a bit harsh of her at the time, but thanks to her I have clothes I can wear without looking too much like a sac of potatoes. I am aiming to go for some shopping as soon as get to my size 10.

    I've lost 35 pounds in 6 months and went from a size 12/14 to a size 4 (still not done, but close!). I bought a couple of shirts and pairs of pants when I reached a size 8. Because of the season change here, I bought some warmer weather clothing (just a few things) when I reached a size 4. I still wear many of the shirts I had from when I was bigger. Once I reach my goal weight, I'll ditch the bigger clothes and just buy a new wardrobe. Can't wait!

    I was 208 and starting to really fill an XL t-shirt,(belly button Showing thru) and stretching out an 38 pair of jeans like a stuffed sausage. overflowing at the top. (my slacks are really 42 inch, Now it's 4 month and I've lost 30lbs and starting to stretch out a size medium t-shirt at the chest and shoulder, and free flowing around the belly area, and starting to tightly fit in a size 34 jeans.

    It's very gratifying!

    I've gone from an 18 womens to now 12 misses. In the beginning As my pants would get bigger, I would put hems in them and/or safety pin the waist, but now 99% of my wardrobe comes from thrift stores, I can't afford to go out and buy a new wardrobe every time I drop a size. I've found so much great designer stuff at the thrift stores, don't know if I'll ever start shopping in the regular stores again.

    You know what's crazy? 120 lbs & I'm still wearing the same underwear! Not bras, those have been replaced twice but panties yes. They're those microfiber stretchy ones. They are big & saggy a bit but I'm holding out until goal. Then I plan to walk into Victoria's Secret & drop a bunch of money on all new panties. A bit weird but its kinda my reward to look forward to lol!

    Clothing exchanges and deal hunting are my best friends.

    I have dropped from 60 to 44 sizes in pants, and from 6XL shirts to 2XL (I went kind of crazy at 3XL so now I have all these big shirts).

    But yeah, it gets expensive so be wise.

    I only buy new clothes when I absolutely have to, to save money. If not, it can get so expensive!

    I sometimes will also supplement with thrift store finds for pants and such just to get me by!

    I've only bought new clothes once so far. My pants are getting too big on me, and I think I'm scared to go to the next size down shirt.. it's a mental thing, I think!

    I started at a size 16 pants (mind you, I had a whole bunch of smaller jeans in the back of my closet) .. right now I'm in a baggy size 11 (but to me, these seem like vanity sizing, I was an 11 when I met my hubby 10 years ago and 10 lbs lighter - and I hadn't had 2 kids at that point).. BUT it's still an 11

    My tops went from an XL/1X plus size and I'm in a Large right now. I may be able to go down to a medium, but I'm scared I'll look like a stuffed sausage and then I'll feel the way I did before I started losing, and I promised myself I'd never feel that way again.

    I'd love to spend a fortune on nice, cute clothes, but it's not financially smart as I'm still losing. Glad it's summer though, I WILL go out and buy some nice skirts and dresses though, I'm pretty excited for that! hahah

    Strangely, my underwear are still the same size. I must have been stuffing myself into them before :tongue:
