Went shopping in my closets. Got rid of everything bigger than large. Looking forward to the mediums! Soon, I hope! Thanks for all of the support & success stories.

Getting rid of clothes feels amazing, doesn't it?!? Great job!!!

I did that but found I had missed the boat with some items. I had things I bought years ago that were too small then (but they were a bargain and of course I was always going to lose weight) and when i tried them on they were too big!

I loved closet shopping when I was in the weightloss phase!!! It feels so great to fit in those smaller things I had grown out of.

Here's a tip: Try things on often. Don't just hold them up and think they will not fit. Your brain sometimes has not caught up with the size changes. Like elcee, some things were too big by the time I tried them. I shrunk right past that size and didn't get to wear some things I had been looking forward to.

I do this too! lol I have goal clothes always on standby... the goal jeans are always on the outside of my closet door so I see them everyday! Bummer is though when you go through a slump and gain weight and you don't have any clothes that fit. I gained 20 lbs post plastic surgery 4 weeks ago... ended up going to Good Will & buying a couple of shirts b/c I refuse to spend a lot of $ on clothes I don't plan on wearing long at all. I was unfilled for surgery and get filled back up on June 5th

I like shopping in my closet to now. Was so happy when I tried on my summer shorts and they actually were big on me. As opposed to other summers before my surgery I would hate trying on my summers shorts. Because I was was afraid they would not fit or they would always be tight. . It's Alway exciting to try on clothes in your closet that would not fit be but now they do. I can also now when I go shopping fit in to some XL clothes sizes that's always exciting. Glad to hear these good stories glad I found this new site happy shopping.

I k now where you are coming from ! Before my surgery I was a 5x and a size 30 jean. Now I can wear a XL top and a 16/18 jeans. So excited, never thought I would see this, down 228 pounds in 3 years. Feel great and get around so much better. Would like to 15 more but if I do I do and if I don't that is okay too ! Love the new me. ♥

I can't wait to give to good will my old (because I refuse to buy in these big sizes) cloths and break out my smaller ones. The small ones many will have to go to as outdated but it sure will be fun shopping. But I really just want to clear my closet of these way to huge clothing!

I just started "shopping" in my closet this weekend. Had to give up a couple of pairs of pants that are too big. Tried on all the pants currently in my closet and they all fit. Hopefully soon I'll have to move onto the clothes in the guest room closet. Did you hold onto your clothes for awhile or did you give them away immediately.

hopeful 60, you lost 228 lbs in 3 years ? thats amaaaaaaazing ! you must be so proud of yourself ! way to go ! I like getting rid of too big clothes too. I have a lap band support group meeting tommorrow night, and for the 3rd month in a row im bagging up a whole bunch of too big clothes for the lady who is just a little bigger than me. It feels good knowing i will never be that big again ! Down from a size 18/1x to a 16/14 or large. Woohoo !!!!!!!!
