Clothe sizes have sure changed :0)

[54Shirley 105]

I brought down my summer cloths to swap out my winter cloths here in Michigan.

I found some Capri's that I wore last summer that were to big. Now yes they tie, so I could have

looked like I was wearing a potato sack this summer , but,,,,, I don't think so.

So I dug a little deeper in my box, and found summer cloths from when I lost weight the first time.

I'm glad I kept all of them. I went from a size 32 to a 22/24. Now some people are starting at where I ended up.

But what a difference in looks, and nice colors instead of Black, Grey, and Navy.

I found Yellows, Mint, Khaki, and well you get the idea. They look nice.

Just thought I would share the good news instead of vent.

Shirley.

Congrats! It's always good to get into smaller sizes! As I try on clothes now, if they're too big, they go into a pile for the goodwill. I don't even put them back in my closet. Love it!

Hurrah, great NSV,isn't it! I, also, giv ethem to Goodwill, or Salvation Army. My church has a 2nd hand clothing store, too. So, I hardly ever have any that don't fit in my closet. I don't want to ever have them fit again!!!!Karen

It sure does feel good ! Up North in Michigan where we live, you have a lot of women who are retired, and they have gotten heavy. You can go to Kmarts and buy up to a 4x. So these cloths in a second hand store, will go like wild fire, and will be put to good use.

When I lost the weight before I donated everything I had. So I had to re-buy for myself.

I'm glad to see it go.

Way to go girl! I've got 3 big bags of give away in my bedroom and I just keep adding to it. I'm down to virtually nothing to wear however but it's still fun throwing those bigger clothes in the give away pile. I just had surgery on 1/11 and I've only lost about 20-25 lbs but the inches are just ridiculous. I had a few pairs of 16w pants (tags still on) that I got into after my surgery and pre-op weight loss. I've been wearing them the last couple months (black, navy, brown and gray....) but they are now literally falling off of me. I don't have a big butt or hips, my weight is all in my boobs and belly so I need the womens size for the waist but then they're baggy in the crotch and hips. I got into a regular 16 dress pant over the weeked and 14w in jeans. So much fun getting a few new things. I can't wait until I can shop in the regular misses dept!

I know what you guys are talking about. I have one of those big tubs that every time something is too big I just throw it in the tub and put the lid on. It's actually pretty full, so hoping to deliver it to our Goodwill soon. I do have a

question to you all though, do you put your "too big" bras in the pile or throw them away. I've had several and I put them in the tub but the other day someone told me I shouldn't be giving those away to toss them. I would love your opinion. Thanks, Connie

Well I think if the bras were in great shape, I might give them away. I have some clothes in the next two sizes down, and then I plan to shop resale shops until I reach goal and then spend some money on the final size! I can't wait! I won't be buying elastic or shirts that don't tuck in for sure.

Times are bad, and if they are o.k., then give them away.

[Melissannde 41]

Give them away. If GW (or where ever) they can toss them.

Consider freecycle too. (www.freecycle.org). I've given away many unusual items via freecycle.
