Im sure most of you are like me shrinking sizes very fast. I buy something and wear it maybe once or twice and then its too big. I dont have any friends/family that wear these sizes and I have a HUGE pile of clothes that I was going to donate. Someone I work with suggested that I might reach out to a support groups and see what other people are doing with their clothes that are too big. I was thinking if I could find enough people in my area (Frederick, Maryland) that I could do a clothes swap. Let me know what you think??

My doctor's office has a clothing exchange, maybe your dr might start one?

If you have a shelter or a place like My SIsters Closet (a place that provides working wardrobe for women who are/have been homeless and are going back to work) or something please consider donating them. Most people don't donate nice larger sized clothing.

For example, one location has a list on their website of their recent needs:

• Travel-sized toothpaste
  
• Travel-sized shampoo and conditioner
  
• Hair ties, hair brushes, and other tools
  
• Gently used make-up
  
• Dress slacks
  
• Dress jeans
  
• Office appropriate shirts and blouses
  
• Dress and work shoes (especially sizes 9 and up)
  
• Gently used bras and new underwear
  

Let me know I live in Baltimore but my family is in Frederick, I go back about once a week.

Goodwill.

I am about at goal and will continue to get most of my clothes there. Granted, we do have a good one.

I plan on going to goodwill during my losing phase. Also have a really nice consignment shop that I'm thinking about taking some of my nicer stuff that doesn't fit me. Hoping to trade in or get store credit so I can swap out for things that fit!
