How often do you buy new clothes?



Recommended Posts

I am a woman who is required to wear professional clothes to work. I'm dropping, at this rate, about a size every 2 weeks. I'm sure that will slow down, but overall I'm worried about handling this in the future. My clothes need to fit reasonably well, and I can't wear the same thing every day. Any other women in this situation have any thoughts on how they've handled it?

I buy new shirts most frequently. My jacket and pants look fresh with a crisp new bright shirt. I hit the sale racks or thrift store/goodwill, I buy one to two things each paycheck. I also get away with wearing stretch pants/workout pants during in between size phases, as I am sitting most of the day and with the shoes and jacket it's just not noticeable :-D best wishes

I have to get dressed for work as well. I am getting sleeved on April 22nd. I am going to purchase dress pants but ones that have some stretch to them and also that has belt loops. This way when after losing weight, it will be easier to wear. I plan to buy shirts as I lose the weight so it looks like I have a different outfit on. What about dresses? Spring is here, I am sure you can get some great dresses that will accommodate you.

Do you have a tailor? I wear a pant suit uniform at work and have had it altered 3 times already. It started at a 30 and now it's altered down to a larger 20. I have also taken in my other pants.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
