Decided to rent clothes for the time being



Recommended Posts

Hi, everyone. I was sleeved on 6/9/15 and have no idea how fast the weight will come off. With several wedding coming up in August, and professional wardrobe required in the fall, I decided to rent clothing for the time being. There are several companies, but I'm going to try Gwynnie Bee, since they offer the first month free. I figure it's cheaper than buying a new outfit every month, and they have free shipping. Anyone else going this route? I'll give you a review after I've had a chance to try it for a few months.

Continued success, everyone!

I haven't tried it but I've been interested in this service as well. Would be interested in hearing about your experience once you've tried it! Seems much better than buying something you will.shrink out of before wearing it again!

That's what I thought, too. I'll let you know what I think once I get started a bit. It's a new way of looking at clothing, to be sure!

Here in Arizona we have some wonderful consignment shops. I take my better (too big) clothes in and buy at a tiny fraction of the cost. This way my wardrobe is always changing along with me and I don't spend too much money. I think Gwynnie Bee certainly has some ver cute things! It would certainly be a time saver!

Consignment shops and goodwill saved my butt as it was shrinking. Amazed at high end barely worn stuff I would find at both!

Curious as to other rental options. GB doesn't go lower than a size 10. Anyone know of any that do?

Goodwill and thrift stores are my best friend as I loose. This way I'll save money to buy a wardrobe at goal. Much if it is close to brand new. No one knows where I shop

I did GB for a LONG time to balance the loss. Now, I buy from Modcloth and resell on a Facebook page when the items are too big. I like Modcloth because the resale value is almost the original price

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
