    I've had to buy a few new pieces several times along the way. I'm saving the total wardrobe overhaul until I reach my goal weight. But there comes a point when things will literally fall off if you move the wrong way... So I've gone for inexpensive skirts, sweaters, and a pair of jeans from Old Navy and the Eddie Bauer outlet.

    The tough part is that as you get smaller you need new sizes more often. I lost the first 30 to 40 pounds wearing the same clothes. Now when I lose 10 to 15 it's definitely time for a new size.

    I plan on getting new clothes at the halfway mark. Mini Goal of 140. I wont go overboard and will TRY to buy the cheepest things. Just only getting the basics.

    Wow! Lots of people chiming in on this one. That's awesome. And some great advise too. So I think I'm going shopping this weekend. Friday is payday and I start a new job on monday (actually promoting to another building with the same employer). I do have a few things saved from skinnier days that have been revived but most of it went away a while ago. Thrift stores and sale racks here I come. I won't go crazy but just some basics. The one thing I need that I refuse to get at a thrift stores though is bra's. And I don't really have anything that I love that would be worth alterations.

    Thanks everyone for all the great ideas.
