Problem with ALL clothes getting too big?

I'd say buy pants that have some stretch and buy them sorta snug so when you hit goal they will still fit!! I bought a pair of Christopher Blues blue jeans with some stretch last Feb. in size 6, when I put them on my hubby said those are a bit snug are'nt they? well him just saying that kept me from wearing them and last week end I got them out put em on and they were loose to where I wore a belt. I still weigh 150 but I must definately am losing inches!!! You can buy almost anything with some spandex in it shirts, jeans, slacks, capris, shorts, shirts, blouses, jackets, dresses and skirts!! Best wishes and GOOD Job!!!

Hey
what are you doing to get those abs? What was your starting weight? I started at 240 3 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds and one pant size. I love wearing those baggy pants! Ev eryone is noticing. I want a tummy like yours.

I have had to replace my wardrobe 3 times and I mean a complete change out. I tried to sell some of my clothes at a consignment/ second hand store. That way I didn't feel quite so guilty about buying all new clothes that were not going to fit for very long. It's not easy though. I was so excited that I had lost all the weight and then the reality of having nothing to wear set in. Not so fun! Congratulations on the weight loss. Keep up the good work!

If you have a store called Plato's Closet in your area, check it out! Bring your clothes in and they will give you cash for what they take and they have a great selection of second hand clothes. I bought a lot of stuff there after my clothes were too big. I even got a $100 pair of jeans for $20!

Well in Toronto we have Extoggery its at Eglington and Laird. Its really good quality stuff for great prices. Of course their are always a million sales at Old Navy I've gotten jeans on clearance for $12.

I had kept some smaller sizes, but I've almost gone through them! :bigsmile:
I have a couple of friends & between the 3 of us, we wear similar sizes but are all built differently, so we can switch clothes around.
Just this afternoon I went through my closet & sorted a BUNCH of too big clothes for the women's shelter. I tried on all my old stuff because with the cooler weather I need something to wear other than my summery clothes.
I'm pleased that a lot of shirts & sweaters look great, but I'm going to need pants for cooler days.

I have gone from a 22 (pretty much 24) to a 16. I had some clothes that I had outgrown that I shrunk back into, but I am almost through those. I have bought a few key pieces as I went and usually a little tight. I hit the clearance racks and can find some really good deals. I have looked in a few second hand stores, but I wasn't able to find anything I liked. I buy my bottoms a little tight so they last a little longer. It is a good reward as you go to have at least a couple outfits that fit well. I have altered a few pieces as I went (skirts and a couple tops) to get a few more months out of them. I am currently at a size where they can be passed on to my sister in law when I shrink out of them.

Basically it is a good problem to have. Buy pieces that either have stretch or will fall ok when they are a little big. Hit the sales or less expensive stores. I find I feel better and slimmer in clothes that actually fit. Congrats on your progress! :flowerforyou:
