    I understand not everyone can but I buy new cloths when I change sizes.

    There is no way I am going to run around in this new bod and look frumpy in cloths that are too big and make me look fat.

    That's the fun of this journey...every season new cloths.

    If you work in a professional office setting, always wear clothes that fit well. Wearing loose, baggy, too tight or worn clothing reflects poorly on you, even if you are otherwise competent at your job.

    I wait for the tax refund to arrive. Alternatively, my MIL clothes shops for me because she gets off on spending money.

    I've bought a few new things for myself (Salvation Army/Goodwill, as well as clearance racks), but I also have gained a lot of my "thin-spirational" wardrobe from my best friend, who had dropped nearly 100 pounds over the past couple of years (and had gotten clothes from another friend). As I "undergrow" clothes, I pass them on to my sister-in-law and another friend. It helps everyone out by continuing on the journey of not having to pay outright for new clothes, as well as having an incentive to keep losing the weight! :)

    Once I hit goal weight - I'm getting a whole new wardrobe!

    I hold out as long as I can then I hit the goodwill/salvation army to get a few smaller pieces to hold me over! i'm not done yet so I try to stick to mostly workout stuff (what I wear most after my work clothes) and pad it out w/a few key items. I also hit an Old Navy outlet sale and scored some cute tees I can wear for a while!

    Buy yourself "new" clothes even if they are 2nd hand and get rid of your larger clothes, this way there is no turning back. You will feel so much better!

    I have been picking up jeans at the second hand stores/ op shops as I already dropped a full dress size. I had kept clothes when I was around another 10kgs lighter in my wardrobe so I am set for that. After that I think I will just pick up some bits and pieces as I need them. Kmart and Target etc etc are great go to places for cheap tops that are good for every day and they have work out gear.

    The reality is I will never be able to go out and spend a whole heap of money all at once on a new "new" wardrobe... so its really going to come in dribs and drabs on and "as needed" basis.
