Worst part about losing weight

Staying on track when I have an unsupportive unhealthy spouse. And buying new clothes. That crap is expensive.

I was very lucky about clothes. I lost 40lbs rather quickly, and when we moved to our new house my neighbor and I were complaining. Me, about jumping from a size 15 to a 9 and having one pair of pants and no shirts. She, 6 months pregnant and in desperate need of 15s. So we swapped. However im almost in a 7... So I will need some new stuff soon.

losing my boobs and all my clothes look like giant bags.

I would have to agree with the getting new clothes, luckily I saved a lot of clothes so there aren't too many things I need replaced. I only gained 20 lbs and that has been within about a 3 year time period. So it's not like I need a whole new wardrope but there are definitely things I need to replace and get, for instance I have NO shorts because I use to not want to be caught in shorts and so with the hot humid midwest summers and feeling comfortable wearing shorts now rather than capris I had to go and get some this weekend-luckily I hit a sale so I got some good deal!

I wish I had friends that I could trade out clothes it would make it a little better, but all my friends and I are about the same size and we losing weight together so the clothes that were too big for them are too big for the rest of us as well!

All the money I have to spend on new clothes!

this. I love shopping now, but unfortunately most of my new stuff is coming form the thrift store. Thank goodness I saved so much of my old stuff. I almost got rid of it a year ago.

When you are the only one trying to do it in your house, have to do different meals, and not eating MY SWEETS!!!!!

I know that feeling

All the money I have to spend on new clothes!

Very true, new clothes, new scrubs for work, new workout clothes, new bras, new swim suits, new coats LOL!!
BUT!!! smaller clothes are much more sexy than plus sized clothes .... well to me anyways

There should be a place on here where people can pass down their clothes to others. A pay-it-forward kind of thing. I would be glad to take anyone's size 16-20 when you skinny out of them I have some 22-28 to pass along too. If anyone needs them, send me a message

Not a bad idea! I was thinking about this but didn't know if it would work, there are people all over the place here..

New clothes. Hadn't really thought I'd lose enough wait that I'd have to buy them.

definitely my clothes not fitting any more. I don't want to throw all my nice clothes away, and it would cost a fortune to buy everything again in a smaller size. atm I'm just using the one and only belt I could find that fits me

also, I find that my legs bruise so easily now, and I'm guessing that's in some way related to the weight loss? it was never a problem for me before, but now I seem to get a new bruise on each leg every single day :ohwell:

I think the bruising has to do with calorie restriction. Make sure you're getting all the vitamins/minerals you need. I'm taking a mulitvitamin everyday because I know I'm not getting all the nutrients I need everyday. While I stay within my calories most days I don't always make the healthiest choices.

1. Not even knowing how to shop for clothes anymore. I have no idea if something fits, even when trying it on.

2. The change in identity that has gone along with it has been confusing and, at times, scary. It bewilders me that people don't seem to think that I'm fat anymore (I know I'm not, but I still think I am.).

3. This isn't about weight loss, but it's related: I miss eating whatever I felt like eating whenever I wanted to. I miss eating because I was bored or had time to kill. I miss getting (what I used to think were) great deals on tubs of ice cream and other junk food.

Despite this stuff, though, it's still 100% worthwhile and I'll never regret getting to a healthy weight. The pros outweigh the cons a million times over.

I feel your pain...

Feeling guilty when I splurge and drink....my boyfriend says I drink like a fish, so on an average drinking binge I can shoot back 1500 cals or more.....but I LOVE to drink. Thank god it only happens once a week.

feeling like the weight is not coming off fast enough! I've adopted all these healthy habits but still stuck in this not-so-healthy-looking body...and I didn't ever feel my fat was a problem until I started losing it and saw what I COULD and SHOULD look like.

Yeah. The boobs were the first to go. On the plus side I can wear a sports bra without looking like I am smuggling melons! No more bras with extra wide bands and shoulder cushions! .

My belly sticks out more than my boobs. I've always said that if I weren't fat I'd be flat-chested. I guess I'm going to find out now! However, after watching Dexter, where the casting director seems to have a thing for flat-chested anorexics, I guess flat-chested isn't a death knell for looking sexy. ;-) Most places don't even carry a 44B, so I'm looking forward to being able to buy bras in regular stores, even if they do end up being training bras!

I never know what looks good on me or for how long I will get to wear it. I've had to buy 2 whole brand new wardrobes for work and its getting expensive to buy new suits every 2 months.
