I think I'll give them to good will. Not sure if I'll keep at least one thing to remind me where I was, or if taking a picture will make the memory last longer. haha :laugh:
My sister, when she lost her weight, gave me her fat pants. Tables turned a bit on me. lol Let's hear it.

I donated some and gave some to someone on here so they didn't have to buy more clothes.0

After I lost 20 pounds, I donated all my fat clothes to goodwill. I figure I have pictures to remind me where I used to be. I didn't want clothes sitting around that I hope to never fit in again
It felt so good to donate them too! 0 -
EBAY!0

I gave mine away! I was watching Dr. Oz one day and they said to NEVER keep your fat clothes. Its easier to just go in your closet and get a pair of fat pants and put them on then say Hey! I'm gaining weight, time to shut the trap!!0

EBAY!
Good one! I think I'll do that! Could use an extra buck. The shirts will be donated, but the fat pants will go on EBAY.0 -
Some I will donate... one or two i will keep to show where i have been and then some i will sell on EBAY!0

I'm going to donate them to a church clothes closet. I've lost a ton of weight before and kept the "fat" clothes and guess what I'm wearing again, the fat clothes...so to me they are bad luck charms.0

BURN THEM!!!!! xD:laugh:0

I am a senior administrator, so I have some nice quality suits and business clothes (Anne Klein, Jones NY, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, etc.) . I have dropped two sizes in the past four months and have donated the items to charities that help women restart their lives (offer clothes for a job interview and to get them started in a job). I guess I could take them to a consignment shop, but I feel better thinking I am helping someone. I know that being overweight can affect one's confidence and self-esteem, so my hope is that having a quality outfit will boost that confidence.0

Probably keeping a size or so for hopeful early maternity wear (though that got me back into this in the first place!) but besides that, donating. I have mostly casual stuff that fits right now but when I get back a size or so I have some work clothes that I may donate to a local program we have here that provides work clothes for people on afdc, etc. who are trying to find jobs but don't have clothes to wear to them. 0

Lucky for me I don't have many. I have more "normal" weight clothes in the closet. When I lost the major weight, 9 years ago I took the ones that could be altered in and gave the rest away. I keep one size up for winter. It's cold where I work so I need a little extra room for the double layer of thermals. The newer fat clothes I will donate again. I kept one pair of jeans from before.0

That is great! :flowerforyou:0 -
As I shrink out of my clothes my best friend who is also on a weight loss journey is shrinking into them. It is absolutely amazing, (for both of us!) to be able to give her my clothes. Then she will donate them to a good cause.0

I've taken some to consignment stores and used the credit on smaller sized clothes. Some are going to the thrift stores and some I've given away!0
-
I gave 3 bags to my neighbor. The rest I'll donate, not sure about consignment shops around here. The stuff I have left is all casual.

Let friends and family have a run at them first and then donate the rest to local charities.0
-
Iam going to give mine away. I never in the past have gotten this close to losing all the weight but this time Iam getting close. So I will be giving them away.0
-
I sent them to fat friends who don't have much money. Now I have the issue of when do I buy new cloths as I know I will loose more weight!!!0
-
Donating them!!!!! There are some good charities, and the people really need the clothes...0
-
I'm naughty. I donated mine to a textile recycling firm that paid me so much per kg. The money raised went straight back into new clothes!
But I give to charity at other times so I think I should be OK.0
