Anyone else needing to buy new clothes?
 

I know we talk about this alot but it's exciting when you're pants are sliding off and you no longer can wear them, though their elastic cause your 'shelf' in the back is no longer holding it up-LOL!

So, share your excitement about moving out of the clothes into a smaller size!!! :D

At first I was really excited that my clothes started not to fit. However, now it is kind of like a double edged sword. Getting smaller and feeling healthy is great, but I've gone from having a great extensive closet of clothes that took me years to build, to one small drawer of my new clothes. I think in order to feel better I just need to let go of all these 26-24-22-20 clothes. Because I don't wear "elastisized" clothing, when something doesn't fit, it just doesn't fit.

I went from a size 14-16 to a size 10. Now all my size 10's are a little loose. Not that I'm complaining....but i just bought them. I've tried not to spend too much money on new clothes but its just so hard. I love the way I look in my new lower waisted bell bottoms.

I've already given away all my "fat" clothes. I tried on one pair that I was holding onto for a reference and its hard to believe that when I put them on they slide down over my hips........Was I that BIG! :q:

I'm going clothes shopping for the second time on this WOL this month! :clap: Probably at the local Goodwill since I'm still a shrinking woman! :lol:

This time I have to get more shirts. I lot of mine are starting to look like skirts, not that there's not so much bulk to hold them up!

It's time to move on! :D

i haven't been shopping yet, i happened to have pants in all sizes from before i was pregnant so i was lucky. but my 16s all 2 of them are a bit old and i really do need to get some new ones hehehehe but i don't want to spend the money because i have tons of 14s lol and i'd like to be wearing them soon.... so it's a delima hehehe it does feel so great to be shrinking though wooooooo hooooooooo hugggs to all you shrinkers =)

Things are getting looser but I can probably lose another 10 before actually changing size, the pants are worse, the roomier they get they seem to get longer too, guess i'll have to wear higher heels, cuz i sure as hell am not hemming all those only to have to ditch them in a month or so.

Oh yeah...
 

I have gone from a size 28 to a 20 and some 18s. It is hard to keep buying new clothes all the way down and maintain a decent wardrobe without spending a fortune. I frequent the second-hand shops too. And I have very few things that fit me really well at any given time. This winter when my weight loss slowed down for a few months, it was actually a bit of a relief to be able to wear the same things for a while!

Not that I am complaining that I am starting to lose again!

I recently gave away all my old clothes except one pair of stretchy pants and one shirt (5X) to keep as a 'remember-when'. The lady I gave them to was thrilled to get them, and I know I won't ever need them again. :)

I wore all my same stuff all winter, but I have bought some things for spring/summer. A few days ago, one of my coworkers said "it's time for a new sweater hun, yer swimmin in that one!" :) :rolleyes: :) When the weather warms up I'll have new stuff to wear. I'm losing slowly enough that they'll last a while (plus I have to lose a lot to drop a size...cause of my tummy).

My tummy is why I can't completely fit into all 24/26. But, the rest of me can-LOL! It is getting smaller, but what I call Stomach B the one above the belt is still there, yes it's a lot smaller but I figured it'll be there a very, very long time yet. So, while I can drop into a smaller size, I will probably have to continue to wear the larger size because of my stomach-UGH. But, everyday it's getting better!!!

I recently bought 10 pairs of new shorts and tank tops for summer from ebay at amazing prices! I work from home so at this point I need summer clothes badly! I have been throwing stuff out and have a goodwill bag going. I also have a big drawer of "too small" clothes that I got some things out of that fit now. As soon as I get out of the 250's I will try them on again. I desperately need new bras and underwear now. Most of my weight has gone from the sides of my hips if that makes any sense :).

I recently had to buy new scrubs for work. I was swimming in the old ones and they made me look huge. So great to move down a size.

I third the comment on going to thrift stores :D I love thrift stores anyway because you can find really interesting clothes for cheap...but they are also awesome for clothes while losing weight. I find Lane Bryant tops, skirts, pants, etc for $3 all the time there.

I just put on a pair of pants tonight that I had thought of as fitting -- not!! They did a few months ago...

I have nothing left from this size except a spring coat that is completely out of style but it's so far out of style that I'm sure nobody knows what kind of style it was supposed to be.

I work at a corporate head office so have to be "dressed up" at least some of the time, so it's getting quite expensive ... but worth it!!

And like loserbaby, I don't like to buy elasticized so the clothes either fit or they don't ...

I can't wait till I'm out of elastic pants!!! I'm losing on the sides of my stomach, my buttocks and my inner thighs.

I just went from a 5x in pants to a 3x in pants. My 5x were literally falling off me and I was lucky enough to find a pair of 3x pants in brand new condition at Value village. Cost me $7.00
