Yes I did, I finally got around to cleaning out my closet and weeding out the clothes that were too big and just plain sloppy looking on me! I've only lost 62 pounds so far and I still have another 93 pounds to go but I felt such an accomplishment! I filled up one big brown garbage bag to give to the goodwill and I also have some items of clothing that are too big that are brand new with the tags still on them, I'm going to try and sell those on Ebay! whenIi lose the rest of my weight, I will have to buy a whole new wardrobe....I so can't wait! I have a pair of "Baby Phat Jeans" I bought that were $109 andIi got them on sale for $5.00 at Lane Bryant back 2 years ago, they are still too small but I will be looking forward to wearing them in about another 40-50lbs! I just wanted to share with everyone for those who are like me and feel that 62lbs isn't that big of a loss when really, those 62lbs do make a huge difference in how your clothes fit. Heres to our journey of success ahead! Thanks for reading and keep on keeping on! Believe in youself everyday and always!

    Con-freakin-grats!

    I can't wait to start wearing xl's. The 2X's still look good on me, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in a tent.

    Keep up the good work!

    Nice job! I'm starting to find that the clothes I've kept hanging in my closet for the past 2-3 years that I would try on every now and again (never fit of course) are starting to fit!! It's awesome, plus I have a mild shopping habit, so I'm always replenishing...lol

    Thanks guys and gals, it really is a great feeling to finally fit into smaller cuter clothes. I like to shop too for clothes even if they don't fit, I figure I will be able to wear them later...LOL This time I will!

    Good for you!!! It's an amazing feeling isn't it!?! I cleared mine for the third time this past weekend as I'm moving back to South Africa next Wednesday and my luggage allowance is only 30kg...needless to say I've gathered a lot of crap in 14months. I've approached my packing with a "if it doesn't fit RIGHT, it's not going!" attitude, no matter what it is - sentimentality leads to hoarding and I WILL NOT pay excess baggage for clothes and/or other things that don't fit into my awesome future - I am leaving ALL my excess baggage (in ALL it's many forms) RIGHT HERE in Manila!! Here's to new beginnings & being the master of your own universe, body and mind :flowerforyou: Go get 'em :wink:

    Yep, done that. I'm now hoping to run across a pair of pants one size smaller, these 48s are getting loose.

    And a big congrats.

    "Only 62lbs"? That's nothing to be sniffed at! A 62lbs drop is amazing!

    Congrats Dee, I am very proud of you very hanging in there. It is very hard work to lose weight, but no one ever told us that it would be easy, right. You can do it.
