I had to share this because I thought it was pretty funny...

So I'm now down over 44 pounds and I haven't replaced any of my clothes yet. I'm holding out until 50 pounds then I'll pick up a couple things. Meanwhile, I'm very aware of how big my clothes are currently fitting me, including under garments.

Tonight I was in Walmart with my son, daughter, and her boyfriend. It was rather crowded and I was pushing a very full cart of food. As always, I had my cell phone in my pocket. I am wearing cotton pants with an elastic waist, however, apparently the elastic isn't helping because I realized halfway through the store my pants kept sliding down my hips with every step. So I take the cell phone out of my pocket to stop the pulling, and I think all is fine.

Well apparently my underwear are too big now, too. As I walked, I could feel them slipping down my hips. I kept putting my hands in my pockets trying to discreetly hike them back up, but eventually they'd slipped too low and it was a lost cause. I was stuck walking through Walmart with my undies nowhere near the parts they are meant to protect.

By the time I got to my car, the waist band of my underwear was literally under my bottom, hanging out around my thighs, only being kept on at all by the crotch of my pants!! The kids and I all had a good laugh!

Sounds like you should have picked up a few more things while shopping at WalMart. I have multiple sizes in my closet so fortunately I will have stuff that fits to wear when I start really losing good.

Cngrats on the weight loss.

omg really lol tears nsv way to go !!!!!

This has happened to me, especially going up steps. Oh and I also raised my arm once and my bra lifted up because the back was too big.

Great story!

congrats on the hilarious story ! you might want to get some new clothes NOW, before everything falls down in a public place before you can hike them up ! can you imagine the headlines ? " local woman exposes herself in walmart parking lot, blames it on something called "lap band !!" "pictures at 11 !!" congrats !!

That is too funny yet oh so wonderful for you!!! Splurge a little, at least on the underwear... I do understand not wanting to spend the money. My mom hasn't pulled out her sewing machie in awhile. I told her she will have to take in some of my pants. Perhaps the only new thing I will by for awhile are bras and panties. Again, WONDERFUL!!!!

LOLOLOL, that is funny! Yes, you need to buy some smaller panties girlfriend

Thanks for sharing

mis 73, i hope you dont think that im trying to "one up" you with a funny story, but i had a funny nsv too recently. Im 53 yrs old, ive been banded 8 weeks ( Dec 13th), down from 225 to 208. im 5'3 and have always carried my weight fairly well, a co worker said "theres no way you're 225 !" but i was...... anyway .... i dress nicely and think i look good for being at 208 lbs. and have been getting lots of compliments. recently my hubby and his male co-worker came through my workplace and hubby introduced us. after they left the co-worker said to my husband " i hope you dont take this the wrong way, but when you told me in december that your wife was having lap band surgery, i pictured a bowling ball on legs ! ! she looks great !!" i got a huge laugh out of that one , and im still laughing. God bless that guy !!!

an extreme case of this kept happening to me while i was on the treadmill =/ not fun lol i decided to throw the pair of undies out lol congrats on the weight loss

That was too funny!

Great story, ive had plenty of moments like that

Maybe you can feature on the next "people of Walmart" movie.

I think your clothes are trying to tell you something!

I've just bought a new drawerful of knickers and bras, then hit the op shop for a stack of new (secondhand) clothes.

That is too funny! I had many of those moments because I was so set on not buying anything until a certain weight. Well when I fnally bought stuff it was a size 16 from the size 26 I was wearing. I used to put the elastic hair ties on the side of my pants to hold them up. I was always tugging at my pants my husband would laugh at me all the time. Buy yourself one or two new things it makes you feel so much better because you look so much better!!

^{Very funny story, I too have a drawer full of oversized panties... freaked out this am thinking I was going to have to wear a pair. But my new ones were in the dryer thank god!}

^{I am going this weekend to buy some smaller clothes as I am down about 55 pounds. I put off buying them too since I have been losing about 2 pounds a week, but now stalled at fighting with the same 1 pound over the past 3 weeks. So yesterday I signed up for my first 5k so I have no choice but get}

^{my butt on the treadmill each and everyday!}

^{Good luck to you and it is great feeling when you hold up a pair of panties and think no way they are going to fit and then they do!}
