I brought down my summer cloths to swap out my winter cloths here in Michigan.

I found some Capri's that I wore last summer that were to big. Now yes they tie, so I could have

looked like I was wearing a potato sack this summer , but,,,,, I don't think so.

So I dug a little deeper in my box, and found summer cloths from when I lost weight the first time.

I'm glad I kept all of them. I went from a size 32 to a 22/24. Now some people are starting at where I ended up.

But what a difference in looks, and nice colors instead of Black, Grey, and Navy.

I found Yellows, Mint, Khaki, and well you get the idea. They look nice.

Just thought I would share the good news instead of vent.

Congrats! It's always good to get into smaller sizes! As I try on clothes now, if they're too big, they go into a pile for the goodwill. I don't even put them back in my closet. Love it!

Hurrah, great NSV,isn't it! I, also, giv ethem to Goodwill, or Salvation Army. My church has a 2nd hand clothing store, too. So, I hardly ever have any that don't fit in my closet. I don't want to ever have them fit again!!!!Karen

It sure does feel good ! Up North in Michigan where we live, you have a lot of women who are retired, and they have gotten heavy. You can go to Kmarts and buy up to a 4x. So these cloths in a second hand store, will go like wild fire, and will be put to good use.

When I lost the weight before I donated everything I had. So I had to re-buy for myself.

I'm glad to see it go.

Way to go girl! I've got 3 big bags of give away in my bedroom and I just keep adding to it. I'm down to virtually nothing to wear however but it's still fun throwing those bigger clothes in the give away pile. I just had surgery on 1/11 and I've only lost about 20-25 lbs but the inches are just ridiculous. I had a few pairs of 16w pants (tags still on) that I got into after my surgery and pre-op weight loss. I've been wearing them the last couple months (black, navy, brown and gray....) but they are now literally falling off of me. I don't have a big butt or hips, my weight is all in my boobs and belly so I need the womens size for the waist but then they're baggy in the crotch and hips. I got into a regular 16 dress pant over the weeked and 14w in jeans. So much fun getting a few new things. I can't wait until I can shop in the regular misses dept!

I know what you guys are talking about. I have one of those big tubs that every time something is too big I just throw it in the tub and put the lid on. It's actually pretty full, so hoping to deliver it to our Goodwill soon. I do have a

question to you all though, do you put your "too big" bras in the pile or throw them away. I've had several and I put them in the tub but the other day someone told me I shouldn't be giving those away to toss them. I would love your opinion. Thanks, Connie

Well I think if the bras were in great shape, I might give them away. I have some clothes in the next two sizes down, and then I plan to shop resale shops until I reach goal and then spend some money on the final size! I can't wait! I won't be buying elastic or shirts that don't tuck in for sure.

Times are bad, and if they are o.k., then give them away.

Give them away. If GW (or where ever) they can toss them.

Consider freecycle too. (www.freecycle.org). I've given away many unusual items via freecycle.

Congratulations and great job!
