New Clothes...later

I am losing inches and weight, which is great! However, I am still wearing my bigger size clothes (I fix them up where the look good), because I do not want to buy clothes yet. I want to wait until my weight loss tampers off a bit. I will buy new clothes once I slow down a bit. Just wondering how long many of you waited to buy clothes? I am thinking 3-4 months out.

    A lot of people on our sight go to the good will and pick up some really great bargains. I wish I would of thought about that. LOL

  • I tried to hold off as much as I could too. I was able to use some things I had saved from when I was down in the past! That really helped. So I didn't have to really buy anything for the first 4 mon

    I did not want to buy clothes that i would shrink out of. So i went to good will, savers and thrift stores. I am 4 months out and i do have to buy a swim suit that is going to be my first new purchas

I am 5 months out and around 110 pounds down. my clothes are falling off me. i am trying not to buy any new clothes because i am still losing. dont see any reason to buy a new wardrobe when i will need more "new" clothes in another 5 months. i know im going to have alot clothes to give to the thrift store when i get to my goal.

I had to reply to this. There is no way I could wear my size 20s even with belts. I have some extra stomach skin and if I wear something that's just a little too big, it accentuates that pouch and looks just horrible. That's just me. You're mileage may vary ;)

I started shopping at 2 months and I probably buy a shirt every other week? But i can warr thise for a couple months. I bought one pair of jeans but waiting as long as I can to buy some shorts. Also check Gabriel brothers if you live up north, or Marshalls. I love those stores. You can get tops 7 bucks pants 10-12. I can't wait to get some new skirts and sundresses :-D

Dresses and tights! I just bought stuff off eBay. Dresses for $10 to $15. eBay has been a life saver. Nothing I used to own is in my closet anymore. I wear a dress everyday! I will wait until I am maintaining the same weight for awhile. Clothes can be expensive.
