    Oh I do it all the time. I go through all the racks and pick things out in my new size and leave the fitting room attendant with a hundred things to put away. It's the best feeling ever. LOL

    I have so done this! This is one of my fears that I feel the need to face. I have shed too many dresisng room tears, now let them be tears of joy. *whispers ~ I have even taken pictures in the clothes I try on to help keep me motivated* :blushing:

    Yep. I did this all the time when I was losing weight. Like you, I didn't have the money to constantly replace clothes - so I would go into stores and try on smaller sizes -- just because I wanted to see where I was.

    I'm at my goal weight and maintaining my weight -- and do you know that my work clothes are too big? I'm too cheap to buy work clothes - so I use belts. lol. I guess at some point I need to buy SOMETHING that fits me for work. ;)

    As you are in between sizes my advice is to go to a local thrift store if you need some basics and you don't want to spend a lot. Then you can always donate them back when you move to a smaller size (make sure to pick one with a good charitable cause not a for-profit corporation).

    I used to work at a clothing store. Like so many stores, they had a plus size section with ugly clothes and the cute clothes only went up to size 18 at most. I wore a 20 or 22 at the time. But I found an outfit that I like that was an 18. And I kept trying it on until it fit! When it fit, I bought it. And by that time, I could afford it too because it was on clearance! LOL

    I do this all the time! I also take pictures of myself in said clothes so that I can document my progress. I wonder if people ever wonder about the camera sounds coming from my change room? :)

    I keep almost doing this. I am a little afraid I won't be down a size. I am waiting for me to be 100% sure I will fit in a 14, and then if I happen to fit in a 12 awesome.

    No, but I go into my closet in the 'skinny' section and see what fits now :)

    There is no better feeling than taking a whole slew of clothes and putting them in the goodwill pile because they are too big now, and getting to wear clothes that I thought I'd never get into again.

    Not yet...but I enjoyed going through a bunch of smaller sized clothes I had put away and finding that they fit! I was doing a happy jig every time I was able to zip up something!
