Old Jeans

[ToddNYG 0]

My wife just called me at work to tell me she found a couple pair of my old jeans in the bottom of a drawer. She left them out for me to try on when I get home. I'm excited and nervous, all my pants now are falling off and I dont want to buy anything new yet.

I know how you feel! I put off trying on my smaller jeans b/c I was afraid they would be too tight and then I would get down! Even though the jeans I was wearing were falling off. However, I am glad I tried them on when I did b/c they were a little loose. I am still wearing them but they are getting bigger and bigger. I am trying to make them last as long as possible b/c they are the smallest ones I have and I hate to buy new ones. Congratulations on the weight loss!

Thank you very much. Yea I'm really hoping I can stretch out some older clothes that I haven't fit into in awhile rather then run out and buy new stuff everytime things start getting too loose.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes. If they don't fit yet, they will soon!!!

Luckily, I still had plenty of clothes from the last time (about 2 years ago) when I was "skinny". AND every size in between.... lol

Hopefully, the band will help me keep the weight off this time!!!

I am down 42.5 pounds and did my first closet clean out. Found a couple pairs of pants that fit pretty good. I too, have quite a few sizes in my closet. Trying to buy as little as possible until I reach my goal.

I am not down a jean size yet...but they are baggy. However I was at work yesterday (thank God I had pants on and not a skirt or anything) and my underweat kept falling down :crying:!! Obviously not the whole way down cause of the jeans I had on, but had to keep hiding to pull them up :scared2:.

I had a closet full of different sizes. Somethings even still had tags. What was so funny is....I dropped so fast I never got to wear them! So I took them to a consignment store. Great way to finance my new "skinny" wardrobe!

Shortly before my PCP suggested I get the band, I cleaned out my closet because I had convinced myself that I would just die a fat old lady. I gave them all away to a needier person than I. THEN I GOT THE BAND! I am changing sizes faster than I thought I would but lucky for me my SIL is on WW and she is losing also. She keeps bringing me her clothes as she comes out of them. The only things I have had to buy is underwear and shoes. I didn't realize that I had changed a whole size of shoes. I thought I had just stretched them out. So, I got two new pairs on Monday and they will have to do for awhile. Thank goodness I'm retired and don't require a lot of shoes or clothing.

I have been saving my skinny clothes for so long that when I got a pair of black slacks out of my closet to wear them they had a band of dust on the leg where they were bent over the hanger.

LollyMOe,

I did the same thing, I had a tag sale over the summer and probably made $20 on the skinny clothes I thought I would never wear again pre band.

I buy most of my clothes now at Kohls in the clearance section. I am not buying the "good" clothes until I get to my goal. I have clothes ranging from size 18 to my now size 8-10. I even have a size 6 pair of jeans that fit, but they were cut wrong since they fit like a size 10 pair does.

How do you all decide when it is time to get rid of your old "fat clothes" I have them in boxes with a label that says "Toss on 9/2011. I figure if I haven't gotten back to those sizes by then I will never wear them again. I just want to give myself some time before I toss them all.

Well I'm proud to say I'm wearing a pair of jeans that I haven't worn in who knows how long, and better yet they are even a little baggy. Good thing I poked another hole in my belt the other night!

Go Todd!!!!

I just gave away all my large sizes and my current jeans are falling off however i actually love the fact that i have to use a belt to hold them up :scared2: I don't want to my anything new yet. But if i do, bargain shopping at Old Navy or Khols is the best. you can get pants for $5 :crying:

YAY!!!! So happy for you Todd! Someday if I can stop eating all this crap I have been eating :thumbdown: and get a fill that actually gives me restriction :tt2: I will be there with ya! :thumbup:

Woohoo!!! Your post prompted me to go dig out the next size down of jeans that I have as the ones I've been wearing are getting loose. And, by golly, they fit! The only thing I am bummed about is the old smaller jeans are not as cute as the ones in the baggy bigger size I've been wearing. I had gone through a faze where I only bought Target jeans because I had gained weight and was gonna lose it fast. Yeah, right! Bummer, I have to wear them again, but maybe it will make me want to race through to the next smaller size faster. LOL
