When do you buy new clothes?

Every month and I'm nowhere near my goal.
I have my old wardrobe to fit back in but I have bought a couple of dresses in a smaller size as an incentive.

I've taken clothes to a tailor for altering if I was in between sizes. It was weird for me, I weigh the same as I did in December, maybe a lb or two difference. Had several pairs of pants taken in and within two months they were too big. I just bought the next size down two weekends ago and they are already getting too big. My workouts have gotten more intense and I can totally see it in my body, but it's hard to not focus on the number on the scale. It hasn't moved...

I wear leggings and tunics so I don't have to buy clothes too often. Plus, they're inexpensive and much more comfortable.

I had this problem and still do. I just bought a few basic things once a month or every few months depending on the weather. Buy cheap stuff until you're closer to your goal weight

since starting in nov. I had to buy 3 new jeans. EVery 1-2mnths I had to buy a smaller size. went from a tight 14 to a 10. and i'm not stopping there. LOl

Remember that it will all be worth it!!

I usually buy new clothes during change of season. Obviously I will pick up stuff here and there but nothing major. I am doing ripped in 30 now, so I am hoping to get some results before I buy new clothes. I teetering towards a size 12. I prob won't be there completely until summer, but I am looking forward to it. I usually wear clothes until its falling to the ground or just doesn't look right anymore.

When I'm in between sizes I always wear the bigger size. I recently tried the next size down and was pleasantly surprised that they fit great. Bye, bye baggy pants.

I still have some old clothes that I can currently fit into. Just last week I discovered some great pants at my neighborhood goodwill, they were cheap!

I do not want to invest in new clothes when I wont be able to wear that item longer than a month. So thrift stores for me....

If you would have told me 2 months ago that I would buy clothes at a thrift store I would have laughed. Some very good finds....

This, totally! I even have my favorite thrift stores, and find some really cool bargains---check them out, you may be pleasantly surprised..

Its a nice dilemma though isn't it!!

I am actually in the best phase at the moment....all my clothes were getting tight so now they are all really comfortable...a couple of things just starting to look too baggy....but all those other clothes that were at the back of the wardrobe because they were too small are now fitting...so I have too many clothes....but I know it won't be too long when I'll be in the next phase with very little to wear....but I will be very reluctant to buy too much...perhaps a few chain store things to tide me over....my reward for when I get to my goal weight is to have a session with a personal stylist to take me shopping...its been over 20 years since I've been the weight I want to be and I will have no idea how to dress myself smaller and older!!

And I haven't worn a belt in years...but I think it might be a good idea to get a bit more wear out of jeans and trousers...and also the leggings idea...they are still quite fashionable so some cheap leggings with a loose dress over the top could see you through several sizes perhaps.

I have a few jeans from when I was lighter (two sizes smaller than what I was wearing when I started). I am right in the middle now, so I did pick up a couple of pairs of jeans to get me through the gap. Then I'll be in the old jeans. As for work clothes, I'll likely wear my belt tighter until that just starts looking silly.

I won't buy a new wardrobe until I reach may target weight. Then I'll donate all of my old clothes to goodwill.

I need to get some new clothes bad. I bought a new belt this past weekend, the previous one couldn't hold my pants up any longer, they literally fell straight down one morning just standing a certain way.

I'll probably buy a few things soon to get me by until the next time.

I didn't buy a new pair a of jeans til I lost 20lbs- wearing a belt wasn't cutting it. With Spring coming up, a few a new outfits would be awesome. Gotta show off the body a bit and be proud of it.

I'd say every 10-12 lbs. but it's a great reward system for weight loss. Makes you feel great when you go shopping for new clothes in a smaller size. Luckily, I held on to some sweaters, jeans and pants from when I was in highschool(10 years ago) cause now I wear those all the time. Great feeling!

i wanna know too. I've lost 60lbs and had to go thru my closet at 45lbs and toss everything that was too big. I bought new clothes and I'm almost back and square one. My starting size was 24 and now i'm a 14/16. My new pants are getting loose and I bought them at a smaller size!
