I started this journey at 298...size 3x 22/24 have no clue what size I am i weight 249 now any ideas? I'm 5'3 I'm debating if I should look into clothes don't want to yet..but everything is huge on me! ???? def been a roller coaster ride can't wait till I get 100%

Have fun, start with a 2x and then just try on down from there until you find your right size. The smaller clothes are the fun part of all this hard work.

Peace

I perfectly understand what you are talking about. I have lost 75lbs since my surgery and my clothes are very big,I started to feel and look dumpy in my old clothes. I would highly suggest is to go and try clothes on just to see where you are in size. Don't be hard on yourself and tale one day at a time. Also don't measure your weight loss success by someone else's weight loss success.

Keep up the great work.

I have lost 75 pounds and I was surprised at the size of clothes I was in I was a size 24, I am now a 18 I went to Salvation Army to buy jeans because I knew I wouldn't be in them very long. I bought 4 pairs of jeans for 22 dollars. Now I have to work on shirts they are all to big. I had my surgery in Nov.

amen! I'm down over 60 in total and I agree hit up a consignment shop and just try things on first. Get. Few things to hold you over while your still loosing. I refuse to spend to a of money on things I'll hopefully shrink out of soon. Take it slow and easy. I did spurge this weekend and bought one pair of pants from Old navy for a few reasons 1 they were on sale. 2 they are size 20 and I was in a 26-28. And 3 they are SKINNY jeans! I don't think I've ever fit into anything "skinny" in my life! Lol

Women's sizes are so crazy inconsistent anyway that it just makes it even harder to ever know what size to get! On top of that, I find each time I lose weight that I carry it differently than when I was that same weight before and so I can't wear the same clothes. It really is nuts. I agree - go to Goodwill or somewhere like that, try things on and buy just a few things that you won't mind donating back in a few weeks when you are down another size or so.

I agree with the above statements go try on clothes, I bought clothes in different sizes and recently just got into s large dress and shirts. I wear large yoga pants now, Imam only investing in dress I have hid away in pants for to long, the only pants I want to own is yoga pants to work out in.

I'm guessing at your height and weight you are now a 1x in tops and an 18-20 in pants. Congrats!

Check out marshals and tj max they have good deals on plus size. And buy new clothes!! You deserve it and it's such a good feeling
