When is it safe to buy new "skinny" clothes?
I'm only a few pounds away from my goal weight. I want to show off my weight-loss by wearing new fitted clothes.

Also, is there any modification of ramen that can be ordered from a restaurant to keep it low carb friendly? I'm just not sure what could replace ramen noodles.

8 days later, definite progress!
I am in the third week of my weightless journey. I did not take pictures or weigh myself the first week, because I felt so embarrassed.
