This band is going to cost us a fortune...

I actually altered several pairs of trousers by just taking in an inch each side seam with my sewing machine. (Who the hell was going to see the rather dodgy side seam under my top). Cheaper than buying lots of new pairs.

And when you do need to buy new clothes, don't buy anything too expensive...

...and don't buy three pairs of trousers if you only really need two, because in a few months both pairs might be too big.

... don't buy things that fit that are for the wrong season as you might be thinner by then...but do try things for fun and enjoy your new shape!

For me, buying sexy knickers was just great! They are cheap but a great boost to my self esteem.

Whats a Pandora Bracelet? what kind of charms do you plan on putting on them? I wanted to do something like that was thinking of a tatoo but I dont like them so why bother with that? I want something to show/remind me of the weight I have lost.

I always joked with my girlfriends that when i hit goal I was going to get a cupcake tattooed on my @ss with a "no" sign around it! :blushing:

Okay so I had a lot of gift cards to jcpenney left over from wedding gifts, they've been sitting in my wallet for nearly a year and decided to just spend them on ME! ha

I went out there today and only bought two shirts and on bottom, I'm reluctant to buy a lot of clothes since it'll all be too big anyway! I was happy that the 1x finalllllllly fit, I was wearing 3x and 4x! I also conquered my fashion enemy.................the legging! I even broke down and bought a pair of jeggings that went with one of the shirts i bought :smile2:

I tried them on when I got home and my husband was like "WOW, you've lost A LOT of weight, you look great!" :blushing:

Thank You Mom for teaching me how to sew when I was a very young girl.

I have taken in several things and now have a huge mountain of clothes piled up in my sewing room. Now that I have lost over 100 pounds, it is just not worth the effort to take in some items. I would have to take them apart too much and re-make them. It's time to take them to the big girl re-sale shop and hope I make a few bucks to buy new clothes!
