What do you do about clothes?

My pants fit like a skirt now. I had to buy a shorter belt, but the pants are so loose that the top button frequently undoes itself, and then they start to unzip. I look like a hip hopper, lol. I'm going to wait to buy pants for a while since Ive still got quite a bit of weight to lose. I've also noticed that neck hole on lots of my shirts "amazingly" feels bigger...On polos with two buttons, I used to only do the lower button, but now I have to do both, or else my chest is exposed.

Once when I was going to play paintball, I went into a goodwill to buy paint ball clothes...I never would have thought it, but they had a lot new looking pants in there for like $6 bucks or something. Anyway, since then I will occaisionally buy stuff from there...it's not as bad as it sounds, although almost all goodwill stores smell like moth balls.

Just today, I gave three bags of cloths to the local thrift store. The last time I lost weight, I kept most of my old cloths. When I started gaining weight again, I just pulled those out. I figured if I didn't have them, I couldn't use them. I usually buy my cloths either at the thrift store or on clearance. Until I reach my goal, I've decided not to spend a lot on cloths.

It was a real challenge for me when I lost weight because I have to dress up for work... I went from a 14-16 petite to a 4-6 petite, and hit every size on the way down. eBay was my savior! And I still get all my suits there. Why pay $200 when I can pay $40, new with tags? I donated a lot of clothes to clothing drives... If I were more ambitious, I would have sold them on eBay ...

I gave my "fat" clothes to charity. I had some smaller clothes I had saved in a drawer in case a day came where I could wear them again. I have a small waredrobe now of just essentials- things I can get by on. I know I will lose more weight and will need smaller clothes.

I just don't bother with clothes *laff*

Thrift stores!!!!! It's so worth the search, I get great brands from the thrift like Ann Taylor, Gap, express, limited, brands from Kohl's and many department stores bc women get rid of stuff all the time!

What the others said and also give and ask for free clothes on freecycle.org.

I've gone from a 24 to a 16....what I've done with my old clothes is bag them up, put on FB that I have clothes to give away, find a friend who wants 'em, and I get rid of them ASAP. I don't want them around me. Period. I'm not really sure why, lol.

For new clothes, I've been drying my stuff on high so it fits a while longer, and shopping for shorts/jeans at Wal-Mart...only buying a couple pair. Good luck!

I didn't buy anything spectacular while I was on the downslide. I just bought whatever from Goodwill, then returned 3-4 weeks later, donated it back, and re-purchased smaller sizes until I was at goal weight.

Now I can buy what I want... wherever I want.

Ditto. Get rid of the old clothes and visit thrift stores or consignment shops until you reach your goal. Then, have fun shopping for new clothes. Actually, I've always found great deals at thrift stores, so that's where I've always done a lot of my shopping. I can afford designer labels when I find them in thrift/consignment stores.

I just did my first bit of smaller size shopping and hit up the near by goodwill. Awesome clothes (many of which still had original price tags on them and were brand new) for just a couple dollars!! It's not for everyone, but why spend a lot of money on clothes that you'll just be passing on yourself in a few anyways! The goodwill in the area also takes the overstock and such from Target so I love it!
