I had bought a sewing machine on clearance for 40 bucks thinking I could at least take in some pants, but the damn thing don't work!!!:001_tt1: So anyway, there was a friend of mine who has someone working for her that is big and not much money so I did my good deed and gave her 5 large boxes of clothes!! ya'll weren't as big as me... so I have dropped many sizes, and I'm glad i peeked in here because now I have to go to the recycle thread....

Ruthi 60 Posted October 6, 2009 I joined the clean closet brigade this past weekend too. I have years of multi sized clothes in my closets. I am single and live in a 3 bedroom townhouse and all of the closets were full of the multi sized stuff. Not anymore, I let my sister shop through it then took, 6, yes that is what I said....6 L&L bags and 2 med boxes to the thrift store. All I kept was a few size 14 and size 12's. It feels sooooo good. And I have room for more junk now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyates 1 Posted October 7, 2009 It's the fall bug hitting - I've been cleaning out my closet too. I put down a laundry basket on the floor and every time I put on something that is too big, I just throw it in the basket. The basket is overflowing onto the floor and I still have a ton of clothes to go through - wooho! I'm going to let my mom go through everything when she comes for a visit. Recycling amongst friends has been a savior to me. I was in a 26 and had plenty of 24s and only a few 22s. Luckily, a friend of mine has been getting rid of her 20s and that is carrying me right now. I did have to buy a pair of jeans now that it's getting cooler. I get so many more comments on my weight loss when I wear clothes that fit. Some of you with more professional clothes may also consider donating to Dress for Success. It provides interview appropriate clothes for women in need that are trying to enter the work force. If you find someone to swap with - great! But if not, maybe consider checking out the DFS option Dress for Success : Locations : DFS Affiliates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
