How much did you ladies have to lose before being able to go get new clothes? I'm excited but I know it won't be for a little while but I was just curious :-)

Im excited to wear the clothes I grew out of again. My jeans are looser, I dont have to lay on the bed to zipper. My tops are not so tight on my hips.

I think I may wait until after christmas.. or buy some stuff on clearance this fall.and put them away for next summer. Gonna take a guess and say maybe i will be XL to 2x,

:)

I have found that the bigger the clothing sizes the more weight you have to lose between sizes.

When I first started out I was in a 46W or 7X. I had lose about 60 pounds before I dropped down to the next size (which seemed ridiculous at the time).

Now, I'm in a 14 jeans or M/L shirt depending on the brand. If I lose even as much as 10-15 pounds it's enough to make my clothes entirely too big and I need to drop another size.

Okay well that explains why I'm not moving down in size much I'm either a 26 or 28 it varies. I would like to be a 22 by Christmas but I don't know that's a realistic goal or not.

I think I pretty much lost about 40lbs before I noticed enough difference to buy clothes. But I did not buy a lot. Just a few in each size. When I got out of them I sold them on EBay and made a good amount of money because they were hardly used.

I'm down 23 and I feel like clothes are looser and i can wear things now that were a bit too tight before, but I haven't dropped a size yet (I have about 100 to lose in total). I can't wait because I have a lot of cute clothes stashed in my closet that are 1 or 2 sizes too small.

it took me a few months or so before I could justify buying anything.. however once I went smaller I shipped all of my xl and 1x clothes to my step daughter who has lost 65 lbs .. She is a teacher and needed clothes for work.. I am now in a size 9 petite . I buy cheap stuff like capri's and shorts so I'm not out much money. I am hoping to be down to a size 7 by Christmas.. we will see

I started out in a size 26 and 4x tops, and I didn't drop a size until I was down about 35-40lbs.

Depending on the brand, I was a size 22 or 24 80lbs ago. I'm now a 16W. I have a FULL closet of clothes I'm trying to get organized as they no longer fit. I've just now had to buy some pants. Trying to make due with just a few things as I still need to lose over 50 lbs.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
