Hi Everyone,

Just curious, when did everyone start considering it might be time to try on a new clothing size? I've lost 50 pounds and I knew my clothes were getting baggy, but my jeans (same jeans I wore before surgery) are driving me crazy with how baggy they are today. I haven't paid attention to my measurements too much so I don't know how much smaller I actually am.

I know everyone is going to be different, but I'm curious how much weight you lost or how much time passed after surgery before you thought it was time to try a new size?

I am down about 35 and had to get new clothes because a co-worker let me know that my pants looked ridiculously big! I found a nice little consignment shop and bought some work pants. Also, I am losing faster up top than on the bottom.

I think I was right around 45 to 50 pounds before I got rid of the bigger stuff and started wearing the smaller stuff. I too stocked up ahead of time at goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. I still have a way to go before I start buying new for myself, but my husband has gotten close enough to his goal weight that we actually spent some serious money on new clothes for him this month. He's down from a 3xl shirt and 44 to 46 waist pants to a m/l shirt and 32 waist pants!

I am 55 pounds down and made a trip to Goodwill like many others. I also took two large bags of too large clothes with me to donate. I bought two or three pants in current size and two sizes smaller. I also bought shirts in medium and large. My 3&2 XLs started looking ridiculous on me! Can now easily wear XL and some larges. But I got everything at a great price so I don't mind only using them for a short time!

Sounds like everyone is doing great! And looks like I'm following in the same pattern. I'm about 54 down this morning and as soon as I find the time, I'll be heading to goodwill.

For me, every 15 pounds seems to be when I am ready to go down a pants size. Shirts are less predictable. Thrift stores have been super helpful since I don't want to invest much money until I reach my goal!

Am a little over a month out...and was amazed on saturday when i tried on a size 10 jeans from Ann Taylor and it fit...u know i walked to the nail salon and back that freezing night....no more cabs ride for me.."These feet are made for walking and thats just what i'll do"...LOL!...but i bought smaller sizes early on..

I wasted a good $20 bill on a new pair of jeans at the end of summer.

Yesterday they looked ridiculous! If it weren't for the belt...

I'll stick with used for the most part. However I got a gift card to my favorite department store. I think I'll buy clothes to get into in the future on clearance.

Everything that was in the pile of "not quite yet" fit or are too big.

Such problems.

I have a couple totes full of clothes to go to a consignment shop.

I bought a dress on clearance for $10 for an event and used a Lane Bryant gift card to buy some compression yoga pants/top and a sports bra. I don't plan on buying any other new clothes. I'm hoping the winter will hide how baggy some things are and enjoying briefly wearing things that had gotten too snug.

I know some of my buddy's that went to goodwill to do alot of it

I washed all my jeans the other night hoping they would fit better. Nope. Good thing I'm wearing cute panties, the day might not end without my pants literally falling off.
