    Donate it. Plus, you will have more room for all your new clothes.

    I agree with your friend. Donate that stuff to someone who needs it. I would agree to keep an outfit that you used to wear when you were bigger. Preferably one that you took a pic in when you were bigger so you can compare and be like dang.

    I keep one pair of pants a size up from my current size and that is it. I would not keep anything that is big enough that I needed to replace it because it looked sloppy.

    Same here, I keep one pair a size up. Comes in handy around that TOTM and I'm bloated as hell haha. Everything else (besides some random big t-shirts that I keep for painting in or whatever) I get rid of and promise to never go back to that size again.

    I get rid of stuff the moment it doesn't fit anymore. I don't mind wearing things that have become a bit baggy / loose but essentially still look okay but if it's more than a size out it goes on Ebay or the charity shop.

    I would never keep clothes "just in case I regain it all". That's like setting yourself up to fail.

    I think you've answered your own question with that brief personal history. This time, get rid of it for good.

    Thank you everyone who posted. I REALLY appreciate it. So the clothes are going to Goodwill except for the 1 pair of the biggest pants and sweater to keep to show me how big I had gotten. I may even tell my friend she was right.

    Congrats on your weight loss success & also letting go of the past.

    High FIVE !! You go girl :):)

    I agree with your friend in theory. If you aren't wearing it - toss it! If you are still wearing some of the too big because you don't want to buy until you've lost more - wear it to the end of the season then toss it! Toss it = donate or toss whichever is appropriate!

    I purged my closet a month ago after losing 50+ pounds. It felt great because to me it was a declaration that I was never going back to that weight. Now I'm only filling my closet with stuff that I really love.

    Most people here are saying to get rid of the clothing that is too large, does it help with MAINTENANCE to let the bigger lothing go?
