So I just went through my closet and purged EVERYTHING pre-sleeve. (Except one reminder outfit and a couple sentimental things)

I literally have nothing from my past that I can wear. I am about a size 14 right now, down about 100 pounds and still in process. I haven't been a size 14 since school - and that was more than 25 years ago!

I have donated about 20 bags of clothes!

But I did keep my old HS jacket!!

It feels so freeing to be rid of all that old baggage!!

About once a week or every other week, I just try on everything...make a pile to donate and then pull out my bin of "not there yet" clothes and see what new things I can move in to my closet. Then I go shopping on thredup and get some new "not there yet" clothes. :)

I am a big believer in dumping everything ASAP. It puts you in a mental place where you can't go back. I dumped all my heavy clothes gave the good stuff away, trashed the rest.

I go through and purge my clothes every 5-10 pounds.

I feel like the best way to move forward is to never look back.

That sounds like a fantastic feeling! I love the image of shedding all those layers of old clothes along with the excess weight. You're kicking butt and it's an inspiration. :)

Good for you. My closet is basically empty right now. I just got rid of another bag of clothes the other day. There was a pair of jeans I bought and never even wore...which kinda ticked me off that I wasted the money.

So now I'm in clothes limbo...I can finally shop in whatever clothes store I want, but because I'm still losing weight, I don't want to bother spending money on clothes.

The funny thing is, I would've killed for this problem 7 months ago, now I'm kinda annoyed by it!!

Feels good to get rid of all those big clothes and actually buy clothes that fit not just what ever you can fit. Im in the process of buying new clothes I just have a couple of shirts and three jeans that fits!!

Well done all. Must feel great. I'm due for my op 9/13 Clothes down sizing is one part I am looking forward to! I have a wardrobe of clothes that don't fit many new designer pieces. My first goal is to use them. Then bin them and buy some more. I like wearing suits and can't wait to wear a special one I bought but have never been able to wear. Big motivator!

Congratulations to you all. I am still pre-op but losing enough to start purging out clothes that do not fit. It is an amazing feeling to know I won't be going back this time.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
