southernqt 236 Posted September 17, 2013 How much did you ladies have to lose before being able to go get new clothes? I'm excited but I know it won't be for a little while but I was just curious :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daliaha 78 Posted September 17, 2013 How much did you ladies have to lose before being able to go get new clothes? I'm excited but I know it won't be for a little while but I was just curious :-) Im excited to wear the clothes I grew out of again. My jeans are looser, I dont have to lay on the bed to zipper. My tops are not so tight on my hips. I think I may wait until after christmas.. or buy some stuff on clearance this fall.and put them away for next summer. Gonna take a guess and say maybe i will be XL to 2x, -Debbi 1 southernqt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted September 17, 2013 I have found that the bigger the clothing sizes the more weight you have to lose between sizes. When I first started out I was in a 46W or 7X. I had lose about 60 pounds before I dropped down to the next size (which seemed ridiculous at the time). Now, I'm in a 14 jeans or M/L shirt depending on the brand. If I lose even as much as 10-15 pounds it's enough to make my clothes entirely too big and I need to drop another size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
southernqt 236 Posted September 17, 2013 Okay well that explains why I'm not moving down in size much I'm either a 26 or 28 it varies. I would like to be a 22 by Christmas but I don't know that's a realistic goal or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl2586 3,053 Posted September 17, 2013 I think I pretty much lost about 40lbs before I noticed enough difference to buy clothes. But I did not buy a lot. Just a few in each size. When I got out of them I sold them on EBay and made a good amount of money because they were hardly used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassetluv 22 Posted September 17, 2013 I'm down 23 and I feel like clothes are looser and i can wear things now that were a bit too tight before, but I haven't dropped a size yet (I have about 100 to lose in total). I can't wait because I have a lot of cute clothes stashed in my closet that are 1 or 2 sizes too small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharpie 3,306 Posted September 17, 2013 it took me a few months or so before I could justify buying anything.. however once I went smaller I shipped all of my xl and 1x clothes to my step daughter who has lost 65 lbs .. She is a teacher and needed clothes for work.. I am now in a size 9 petite . I buy cheap stuff like capri's and shorts so I'm not out much money. I am hoping to be down to a size 7 by Christmas.. we will see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MandaMom23 684 Posted September 17, 2013 I started out in a size 26 and 4x tops, and I didn't drop a size until I was down about 35-40lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blondegal_ 1,028 Posted September 17, 2013 Depending on the brand, I was a size 22 or 24 80lbs ago. I'm now a 16W. I have a FULL closet of clothes I'm trying to get organized as they no longer fit. I've just now had to buy some pants. Trying to make due with just a few things as I still need to lose over 50 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
