So, what with the great weather and all I decided to buy a few new summer clothes today :flowerforyou: :smile: :happy: and I found that I now have a new problem - I'm in between sizes!!!!! :noway: :noway: :noway:

I can officially it into size 10 trousers (US size 6) BUT some are a little snug. I tried on a few dresses and a few other things and whilst the 10's 'fit' they were a little snug whilst the 12's (US 8's) are waaaaaay too big!

In the past this would be the point where I usually give up but this time I'm taking a new approach. I'm not buying any new stuff for another 6 wks and in that time I'm going to keep on working hard so that I am a proper size 10 (US 6). I love me a challenge!

    I'm in the same pickle. The clothes I own are baggy. The next size down is a little loose. The size after that is too tight. So I'll wait while things are still changing.

    Great idea but I'm in the UK and it's kind of different here - thanks though. Will keep it in mind for when I move to the US in a few months.

    I'm having an issue with my clothes getting too big (I've lost 25 lbs), but I've been dragging my feet on buying new clothes. I'm going on a trip down south on the BEACH, and I'm leaving on Tuesday...! I don't have much money but I absolutely have to go shopping tomorrow and get some more "summery" clothes, as all of my stuff is long sleeved or 3/4 sleeves (I live far north). I'm bummed that I have to buy new clothes that I'll replace in a few months (I still have ~60 lbs to go to my goal), but I'm happy that the REASON I have to buy new clothes is because I've lost so much weight! I just plan on buying as cheap as I can, that way it's not a big deal if they're way too big 4 months from now.
