    If I can't wear them, somebody else can. I ditch them as soon as I'm comfortably in the next size.

    Slowly I am getting rid of them and replacing with smaller items. I don't want to keep the 'safety' net.

    BTW ... I had some clothes I had purge from my closet because I outgrew them ... not because I got smaller, but I had put on so much weight. I found that bag...went through it and today am wearing one of my favorite tops again. :wink:

    I have taken almost all of them to clothing exchanges, given them to friends, family, etc. I just don't want the "safety net" there that has always sabotaged me in the past.

    I hate clutter and don't like having extra stuff around that I don't need. Anything I couldn't alter (or didn't like enough to pay to alter) I donated.

    I kept a pair of jeans, a pair of my scrubs (I'm a nurse) that I wore before I seriously started losing weight.. just to remind me how far I've come, I now fit in one leg of the pants.. kinda awesome. Everything else I donate, just donated another bag of jeans, when I can pull my jeans off without unbuttoning them, or have to depend on a belt, I get rid of them and buy more... it's my reward system, better than my old one of McDonalds. ;)

    I'm going to need to buy new clothes after I reach my goal weight. I will probably keep two pairs of jeans and a couple of shirts just i case.

    I donated all of mine. I'm not at my goal weight yet, but when my clothes were at least two sizes too big, I felt it was ridiculous to hold on to them. I have no plans on getting back to that size and don't want them in my closet. It was too easy to just slip into a larger size before when my other clothes felt too snug. Now, I use that as an indicator that I need to either adjust my diet or add in more workouts.

    I wash mine and box them up. I've been waiting for the next Diabetic Clothesline call, but haven't heard anything yet. I'll give it till the new year and then see if anyone I know wants them or knows of a charity thrift store somewhere in the area.

    Get rid of it! Loosing weight is hard, keeping it off even more so. Don't make going back there an option. If you have some nice stuff, take it to a consignment store. Some of them give you store credit so you can reward all your hard work right away with a new piece in your new size.
    Lifting weights will not make you bigger. It is great exercise that women tend to shy away from. You may notice your scale not moving down as fast as you would like, but your inches will drop. I had one patient (yes, I work in weight loss), who lost 7 inches off her waist and 6 off her hips over 6 months with only 2lb gone. She looked awesome. Don't get discouraged. Success can be measured by more than one number.

    Some I have gotten rid of, others I have had altered and a few I kept to remind me of we're I use to be.

    Weight are good for strength and toning. You also burn more calories when you lift weight. The body continues to burn calories well after you have finished.

    I hold them for a couple months, then pick 1 item to keep and the rest get donated!

    I've kept my biggest pair of jeans for my "after" pic, but everything else that's now way too big on me have gone into giant garbage bags to be donated.

    If I don't have any clothes to fit into if I gain weight again, then I won't gain weight. I wouldn't wanna have nothing to wear and not be able to go out at all. :P
