Hi everyone,

It is my 2 month anniversary and I am 74 pounds down and feeling great! I am learning about my sleeve and thinking I have it mastered. I tell you this clothing thing is taking me for a spin. I started buying clothes too small for me, so I can fit into them in a month or two. I have dropped from a size 54 pants to a size 48 pants and I am still dropping. Shirts are easier, because I like them baggy. How did you guys deal with this? I want to look presentable, but I am losing weight so fast, I can't keep up.

I have the same trouble but there could be worded problems in life right? I just buy one or two things at a time and shop at Marshall's or Burlington Coat Factory for now. No sense in spending a lot of money on clothes that you won't fit in for that long anyways. I buy things that fit snug so they last longer. When I buy belts I make sure I am on one of the last two holes so that I have room to shrink into it some more. As you mentioned, shirts you can live in a little longer, but let me tell you, it feels great to put on a properly fitting shirt now!

I agree with the above, but also be sure to check out thrift stores and resale shops. You would be surprised at the quality things you can sometimes find.
