Has anyone tried to organize a clothes borrowing system for intermediate weight?

I was just thinking about all the clothes from all of us that will get donated to Goodwill or some other place, and how others on this forum might get some use out of them - for when we are in the middle of our weight loss journey. Because who wants to go out and buy clothes 2 or 3 sizes smaller than what you own, only to wear them for a few months and have to buy new clothes again, several sizes smaller?

Maybe this is too complicated to set up, but it seems that if we have clothes of a certain size that we are going to get rid of because they are now too big, that we first get on this forum, describe what you have, and offer them here.

Yes, I guess it would cost us the price of postage to mail them to someone, but you might just get someone else lending you clothes too. And we could keep passing them around (assuming they are still usable) to others.

Dumb idea? What does everyone think?

I think it's a good idea

That's an idea but a lot of work

I think it sounds awesome! My scrubs are falling off me now but I don't want to spend money on new ones that I'll have to give away in a couple months.
