When in doubt, try on clothes!

[Mei Mei]

I can't believe it. I am wearing a sun dress that I haven't worn in ages, and it is loose! I tried on a skirt today and grabbed a 6--doubting that 4 or 2 would fit yet. The six almost fell off while I was standing there. They didn't have a four in the same skirt, so I tried on the two. In all fairness it is one of those styles that runs big, bit it was a little loose too! I am so happy to be getting back to my body.
All of a sudden it just feels so right, and that is what truly motivates me--to feel good in my body again. I don't really want to go buy new clothes, but I may have to, and maybe some alterations...

I'm pretty sure my husband is going to do this. He has been so busy that he will probably scale back for the first two week of October. What a great time for him to start! (In high school I wieghed 105 and he weighed 135.) He doesn't want to get that small, I don't want him too either, he was a boy then. But the prospect of him losing twenty is wonderful. :party1:

Totally Agree! Shopping is now fun --- expensive, but fun. :) (Of course, I do wait to get those great sales!)

I was thinking of starting this thread so I am glad you did. I decided this weekend I needed to clean out my closet. I wasn't looking forward to it because I thought my clothes would all be to small. Boy, I was totally wrong. I put all my large shirts that I was wearing a month ago into a bag for goodwill along with pants, sweaters, jackets, ect. They are going there soon because once I loose all my weight I don't want any clothes around that will allow me to go back up in weight. Well, I then started trying on shirts that I have not been able to wear for about 3 years. They almost fit perfectly. I was so happy and put them in a nice pile. I then went for the jackets that I have not been able to wear. Oh, I was not looking forward to this. I actually had to donate 4 of them to goodwill. They were already to big which I am excited about. I am able to wear my gorgeous jackets that I have not been able to wear for years but I have a feeling those might need to be donated soon:( I did do a little in between sizes shopping. I now only have about 14 shirts, 3 pants, and 4 shorts to wear. I am kicking myself now for getting rid of all my smaller sizes. I guess I will just have to save up money and go shopping in a couple of months:) Can't wait till I am in 6's again!!

I went yesterday to Target and hit their clearance racks. I liked someone's idea of shopping the goodwill for the in betweeen sizes. Especially if I'll only be wearing them for a short while. I clean out my closet every couple weeks. It's fun, but sad to get rid of all my cute clothes that I loved. It will totally be worth it. I bought a cute skirt yesterday on clearance that doesn't fit yet, but it will. :party1:

I am having a great time trying to find clothes that fit. I also have cleaned out my closets and gotten rid of all of my fat clothes. I'm like the rest of you i don't want to buy too much because i'm not finished yet. My 10's are getting to loose and that makes me happy and i've been buying some 8's. It's also great that i can't go anywhere without getting tons of compliments. People just can't believe how much weight i've lost. IS'NT THIS DIET GREAT!!!!!:party1: LOL MIMI

Yippee....this is what I'm waiting for!! Won't be long for me to start cleaning out the closet and drawers!!
Shopping will indeed be more fun....and cheaper. Yes, Shawn, it will be cheaper cuz women's pluz sizes always cost more than regular size clothes!!

I hear you! I've given all my small clothes away to my little sister-in-law.... I never thought I would fit into them again! And now I find I don't have many clothes that fit! Luckily a couple of my co-workers have some "smaller clothes" laying aground so I was able to get some freebies:) But now... some of those are even too big! It's so neat to see/hear about everyone's successes on 1PD! We are so fortunate we've found such an awesome program to loose weight!
