Looking for clothing exchange in Dallas



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know of a clothing exchange in the Dallas area? I have boxed up all of my size 20 clothes, and my 18s soon will join them. I'd really like to find a clothing exchange, because I'm sure someone else out there could use them along their journey. No one wants to buy new clothes while they're still losing weight!

We talked on here for a while and even suggested to the website that we start an exchange among members, but nothing ever came of it. I know that some of the support groups designate 1 night every couple of months for everyone to bring their clothes and swap - you may want to see if there are any support groups in your area that do this. Let me know what you find out - I too am interested!

Funny this should come up because I posted yesterday about Spring (closet) cleaning. I mentioned something about having "swap meets". Too bad we're about the same size (I'm now into mostly 16's). I'd love to find someone who has an abundance of 16's they'd like to part with!

You may want to check with this church Munger Place United Methodist Church. They had a listing for a clothing exchange on craigslist in April... They may be doing another one.

This is in Dallas. If you're not in Dallas, you may want to check with a local church or community organization. It's not just about saving money these days, but even about recycling so that these clothes don't end up in land fills.

I also wanted to say, that I rooting for all of you. Taking charge of your health and well-being in this way is very courageous. Way to go! :)

I've been using Ebay. I set up a "clothing fund" for my sales ($700 in there so far) and am using that account to purchase new items in smaller sizes - I plan to onsell them again as I drop in sizes.

If your young enough and your clothes are stylish, I take mine to buffalo exchange and/or plato's closet and sell them there, whatever they don't buy ( if it is too old or has any marks on it) they will donate to the local organizations for poor people so you don't have to drag anything back home.

I'm putting all my nicer clothes off to the side as I shrink, just for this purpose, but I'm in Corpus Christi. I would LOVE to swap clothes. I started out in a size 24 and am now in a 16 so I have an assortment of clothes.

      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.
