When did you buy new clothes

I am still wearing my baggy size 12s. I bought one pair of size 10 jeans and some used med shirts. I am waiting to get to goal to buy more

I was forced to start buying new stuff when my pants started falling off (from a tight 16-18 to a 8-10 presently). That happened at about 30lbs. In a way it annoyed me as I was only half way through losing what I wanted to lose, but hey - it's all good. When I shopped, I only bought a couple of things...just enough to tide me through to the new wardrobe I have planned for 10-15 lbs from now!!

I buy new pants when I can take them off easily without unzipping and unbuttoning! Tops I wear as long as I can until they look way too big. I'm not going to buy a bunch of new clothes until I stop losing but you have to have something! I shop at thrift/consignment and other cheap places just to fill in while I'm losing so I don't invest too much in something that I won't be keeping. BUT if I have a special occassion I will buy something nice as a reward : )

I will buy some new clothes as I need them and probably never actually switch my entire wardrobe over at once. I already own lots of small shirts for some reason, so probably I'll buy a few jeans at size 6 (I'm a size 9 now) or whenever my smallest jeans become ill-fitting, or when I reach the weight that I would like to permanently maintain. I don't know what that weight is, but I expect that it will be somewhere between 110-125 (I'm 5'2").

I first bought new pants when the ones I had been wearing could be pulled all the way up under my boobs and would fall down if I didn't hang onto them! LOL

I probably waited too long..... :blushing: :laugh: :happy:

I bought some last night (spent $29 and got new work out pants- nice ones, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 tops, and a cardigan).
My jeans and slacks were literally falling off of me as I walked (kind of a problem! ha!). There is no way I am going to make it with my clothes now, so I am just going to try my hardest to keep the clothes I do have to buy in between at incredible bargains. I started at a tight 16, and 14's are now perfect on me- and all my XL tops looks WAY too baggy. I look like a box, and I want to feel good about my weight loss, and not miserable

Like many of you, I bought new clothes when I couldn't keep the old ones on. I was in serious danger of "dropping trou" at any moment. :laugh: Went from a size 20 to 14. Same with tops - about to fall off my shoulders. Since I am only about half way on my journey I focused on a few classic pieces. 2 pair jeans, 1 pair black pants, 1 pair brown pants and some tops and sweaters that mix and match. I want my "full" new wardrobe to be at my goal weight. Katey11

As I was losing I was able to shop my closet for a long time slowly getting into clothes that hadn't fit for a long time. I bought just a few things to tide me over as I needed them. I bought things tight and would wear them until they were loose. Skirts and tops are pretty forgiving. I sew and have taken in a few things.

When I got to my goal of a size regular 10 (down from an 18W+ hallelujah!) it was the beginning of summer and I really had nothing to wear so I bought cute shorts and t's on sale or at discount stores. It was so much fun to fit into the regular store sizes. Now I'm holding off buying anything again as I want to reach a size 8 but with our cold weather here I will need to get a few things. Now I have one pair of jeans but I don't plan on buying another until I get into an 8. We'll see…I may get pretty tired of those jeans…

I HAD to buy new pants when it started getting cold because I cut all my every day pants into shorts for the summer. I had one pair of pants left from before I gained weight as well, so they're back in rotation. I only bought two pairs, so I have three pairs of pants! Only three! I will say that going to the store and seeing that I really did fit in a a smaller size was a HUGE motivator and made me feel like all the work is worth it. I'm trying to hold out until I'm down another size before buying more pants, but necessity might force me to buy at least one more pair. Even once I'm down a size I'll try to make due with taking in the pants I have now and one or two more pairs, since I hope to be down yet another size before too long.

No one but my boyfriend really noticed I'd lost any weight until I bought new pants, and having people ask me 'have you lost weight?' is super encouraging. I still haven't bought any new shirts, and I think that would help even more.

*edit* to say that I went down a pant size after about 15 or 20 pounds, but I already almost fit into the next size down, probably will in about 5 pounds.

wow! all of you are doing great! i just began (again) my weight loss endeavor and i've been wearing the same few things for a year now...so much in my closet doesn't fit! can't wait to back into those and really can't wait to update my wardrobe! i know that the styles i buy really aren't the most flattering on me and hope that i can start learning how to dress to look my best!

I have 2 large boxes of smaller size clothes that is used to be able to wear from 14 down to 10 that are generic in style. I'm hoping to only have to buy "new style" pieces to work with the stuff I have. I have 3 beautiful dresses that I can't wait to fit into. That'll thrill me beyond belief!!!

I have to see myself being able to buy fun trendy stuff because it's been so long. Seems like a long road ahead, being that I'm only a month into this new lifestyle.
