Wheetsin 714 Posted June 16, 2006 Feels great, doesn't it?! DH and I just got done cleaning out our MB closet. I must have pulled out at least 90% of the clothes in there... and I still have two more closets and a ton of storage totes to go through. I've been exiled to my laptop because my entire desk, office chair, and literally half the office floor is covered with my clothes that I've "undergrown". We're talking - seriously - at least 10 - 15 55g trash bags full. Anyone need sizes between 28 - 32 and even some larger? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gentlespirit 1 Posted June 16, 2006 I always need clothes...I'm helping my son through college and money is tight! I'm in a 30/32 or a 4x depending on the fit. What are you selling and how much?? Have you thought about putting them on eBay? Emily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Telly 4 Posted June 17, 2006 Flower your story is similar to mine. My sis gave me small clothes at one time that I embarrassingly couldn't fit, now I'm wearing them and some of them I can't fit anymore b/c they are too big. All of my size 18's are no longer wearable. I look like im drowning in those (had a few favorite pair of pants from Lane Bryant). I'm in a size 16 and some 14's. My tops are 12/14 but my bottoms are 14/16, mostly 16's. I got alot of belly to lose and I think i'd be a comfy 14 if not for my belly, b/c my legs have alot of room in them, but the belly is snug. Can't wait to fit comfortably in the 14's then have surgery. LOL, my lil girl said to me yesterday, "momma, let's get that stomach off and go buy a new one..k?" She said that 4 or 5 times yesterday, she's 4. She's been watching the Discovery channel with me where the women undergo tummy tucks and she knows that I want it done. I swear that they'd cut off about 10lbs of fat off of me. Then I'd have 42lbs to go(sighs), soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showboatgirl 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Isn't it fun when your clothes are too big? Don't spend very much money on new clothes because your new clothes will be too big in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ericsmom 2 Posted July 18, 2006 WOW great job. It is neat to shop at the other end of my closet; the smaller clothes side. Keep up the good work. This is exactly my situation, too! I have a whole other wardrobe waiting for me to wear :eek: I'm hoping to be in the 2X's by fall. I started in a 4X when I was banded. I'm SO looking forward to getting rid of those for good!
