Sweet Spot In Clothes Buying..



Recommended Posts

I had to buy a sport coat, shirt, and new tie today. I already got a great deal on awesome pants at Goodwill and went to match them at Elder-Beermans. I wanted to put off expensive clothes buying until my goal was reached but circumstances dictated otherwise.

I purposely bought the pants a bit small and decided to do the same at Elder-Beermans. I found a great coat, shirt and tie there. Not too tight but just tight enough to give me some more time with them before they outgrow me. :D

I must say I am looking good. It has been a long time since I had trouble resisting vanity. Glad to have a reason to battle again. B)

Good for you. I had to do a little bit of shopping this weekend, too. Didn't want to get crazy, but needed a few things. Hard to believe how good good-fitting clothes can make you feel!

I desperately need to pick up some new things. I hate to spend the $$ though!! I guess I should just suck it up, I'll probably be at this size for a while since my weight loss has slowed down.

I always go to Goodwill to see what they have. I lucked out on some really good quality pants there. Sometimes things there still have the store tags on them. When I fail to find what I need I go the regular stores. I like high quality clothing but I like not paying much for it too.

I buy most of my clothes at thrift stores such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. I get them very cheap. If I really think about it they are actually expensive brand clothes that I just happened to purchase for a buck or two. No one need to know that I didn't spend $30-$40 for a pair of jeans. I change sizes about every couple of weeks so can't afford high price clothes.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
