Need help..........What did you do with all of your clothes that are to big!

I have a closet full of really nice clothes and just don't know what to do with them. I thought about consignment but wondered if you really got much back monetarily. Would it be better to just donate them. I am finally ready to get rid of them but don't know which would be better? What have you all done with your clothes?

I am sending mine to a thirift store in New Orleans which is run by and benefits VRC (aka Pit Bulls and Parolees). They were too nice to just donate to Goodwill, and at least this way the money will benefit their organization and the doggies :)

At the time I donated I was on lapbandtalk.com (revision) and gave mine to people who needed them on there. Sent 3 big boxes to 3 different people just for shipping prices. And my sister in law made out like a bandit. Lots of J Jill, Eddie Bauer, and Old Navy stuff with tags still on em.

U might want to try the clthing exchange on this site. Good luck

I sent mine to a fellow sleever and another fellow sleever sent me some as well. Pay it forward :)

Did the same...great feeling!!!

It's hard when the clothes are nice, but I donate them anyway.

My doctor's office offers a support group and once a month you can bring clothes that don't fit and then someone there is bound to have your size. Saves money for everyone, and it's fun to do. Also, then you get to see that they go to "a nice home" so to speak. lol.

You might want to suggest this to your doctor if they have support groups, or if they wouldn't mind keeping the office open late one day a month for a clothing exchange.

I am just starting my journey and will have surgery in March or April. I can't wait until I can ask this question! I will be donating them to shelters so that they can be of good use to someone.

It will happen before you know it! Good luck on your journey! :)

I read here, there is a threat for people who's looking for clothes or donate.

I totally forgot about this website called Twice.

They only take higher end clothing (there's a list) and you mail in your clothes and they give you a quote and you can sell it to them or they will send it back. Then you can also buy used clothes from them.

(if you feel like it, my referral link will give us both store credit but that's NOT why I posted about it, so I hope no one minds: liketwice.com/SN5s0)

You're welcome! I'm so glad that you found it helpful.

The one good thing about years of yo-yo dieting is that I own clothes in every size from 14-22!
