Since January 1st I went from a size 26 to a 20. In all honesty I am not sure what to do about clothing. I can't afford to keep buying them b/c I am a single mom of 2. What do you guys plan on doing about clothing?

    Wow this is amazing with 22 lbs lose! Congrats!!
    I would buy cloths that made of stretch material! Anything from tops dresses pants! It will last longer and fit better even if it is little big get bigger!

    I'm so happy for you! God bless you and your family!

    Buy dresses! During the winter months, you can wear leggings and tights. With some styles of dresses, you are able to tie the waist tighter or looser. Dresses are also a bit forgiving when it comes Also, go to thrift stores-if you have ritzy areas near by, the thrift stores almost always have fashionable clothing items that are in great shape. If I go shopping at thrift stores, I tend to travel to areas that have "rich" individuals who live there. They tend to donate more name brand and designer clothing. high quality + low price=Happy Rachel. Also, you can donate clothes to Plato's Closet or other consignment stores with you can no longer wear your current items.

    Yeah, the thrift store route is the way to go! I don't know about where you live, but my area has tons of really nice 2nd-hand clothing stores. Some are only designer. Some weight loss groups the members trade clothes. You might check if there are any such groups.

    I live in a very small town so we don't have many of those options but I think there are a few places like that in a town about an hour away, i will have to check on that.

    Thrift shops are my best friends right now! I really like the dress idea, never thought of that!
    I haven't worn a belt in years. :blushing:
