I have taken some clothes to Goodwill. I have three more bags of clothes ready to go and my closet still has a lot of big clothes left.

If they are only a size or two too big you could alter them...it's very easy...just put them on inside out and pin down the sides of the legs and a little in the crotch (if necessary). Then it's only pretty much straight stitch following the pins. I usually graduate my stitches into the old seam so I don't have to do the hem at the bottom of the pants. You will wear them for such a short period of time (becasue you'l lose more) that who cares if the waist has some extra material flap on the inside...no one can see it anyway if you have a long shirt on. Anyway...you can do the same with shirts...inside otu and pin!!!!!! Good luck if you try it....it's not that difficult!!!! let me know how you do!!!!

I wish there was some way to easily start a clothing exchange. I have lots of 14s that are in nice condition, but are too baggy on me now. I badly need size 12s, but don't want to invest big money in them because my goal is a size 10 and it seems pointless to buy clothes I'll just be getting rid of soon.
