    Anything in decent condition will go to the charity shop, but sadly most of my fat clothes are threadbare and falling apart which is why i decided now was the time to loose the weight i couldnt face buying new clothes in my big size!

    The fit for the bin clothes might be cut up for material scraps for my crafting bag, they will not remain as whole garments in my posession otherwise i might be tempted to stop watching what i weigh.

    The better clothes go to Goodwill. Iffy stuff that can be used as such goes in the rag pile for hubby. A few bigger t-shirts have been saved for sleeping in and/or doing housework in. Only one pair of larger pants has remained for a before/after pic.

    The nicer stuff I've either consigned or donated to a place like "Dress for Success". The rest gets taken to Goodwill or our local clothes bank.

    Well, I haven't gotten to do this yet, but I plan on going to Goodwill or King's Ranch (a place for abused & battered women & children) to donate most of mine. The good jeans, I'll try to do a yard sale for but if they don't sale they'll go to donations too. My *favorite* t-shirts will be kept to sleep in. :-)

    Get rid of them, and never go back to that size.

    Give them to your jealous "fat" friends, who did not support you during this process :)))))) I've read that happens a lot, so don't get mad, get even :)

    Oh my goodness, I love this... someone who thinks just like I do sometimes... LOL!

    I take them to a charity shop.

    Even if they're unsuitable for reuse, the shop will recycle them and sometimes get money for it.

    A MFP marketplace/trading post has been a huge suggestion for a long time now but still no luck.

    Personally I like selling things on Craig's List b/c people don't want to pay shipping on Ebay unless it's a really nice item.

    I had Insanity bonus DVD sets I was trying to sell on MFP for $80 and didn't get a bite (retails for $150+ shipping). I put those on ebay and they sold for $120 each so that worked out well!

    I save a pair of pants from my highest weight just to stare at them and remind myself to never go back there. The rest goes to goodwill :)

    Cedarhurst, your insulin signature is very cool. Congratulations.

    Thank you!! It's amazing what can happen when you actually listen to your doctor. He told me I would have to lose weight in order to stop feeling like a human pin cushion (testing 6x a day and insulin 4x a day). So, I changed my life. I will always be a diabetic but my doc said at my last appointment that I am no longer "classified" a diabetic. My A1C has been consistently in range. Woohoo!!! I am living proof that it can happen and try to share my experiences with as many as I can.

    Awesome! I love to hear success stories like this.

    So far i've been throwing them in the top of my closet! ;) Some I want to get altered, others I will give to Goodwill, or to my sister who is losing weight too but started out higher.
