I ha...It's really hard with the clothes thing. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 10, from a 3x to a M... here's what I've learned along the way. <br /><br />- I usually wear my pants 1 size past, just b/c I can't afford to be buying new pants so much... So if I'm in a 10 now, I still have some 14s... it isn't always the best, but I can't buy pants in every single size. <br />- I shop at consignment stores and goodwill, and I have to dress up for work. I find lots of good thigns for a steal of a deal, and its ok if a little life is gone, b/c I won't be using them for long anyways.<br />- I buy clothes from eBay<br />- I shop a lot at Target and Walmart. You can get some good basics for cheap, and again quality isn't really an issue when you'll only wear them for a few months.<br />- I found this awesome place here called Clothes Mentor. They actually have quite a few locations in lots of states: http://www.clothesmentor.com/Home.html<br />awesome clothes for a fraction of the price new and they will buy your clothes giving you money to put back into smaller clothes<br /><br />Good luck... you are right, it is an awesome problem to have, but sucks at the same time :-) I am hoping I am nearing the end of the size hopping.. I'm guessing shirt wise I am at a medium in most and that is as small as I will get... pants wise I'd like to see myself ultimately in a size 8.Sarah - Fat Little Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480551907580222028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614746678835590944.post-62685222965218088762010-06-23T09:08:18.369-07:002010-06-23T09:08:18.369-07:00Well... a few years ago I lost 50lbs. I got rid of...Well... a few years ago I lost 50lbs. I got rid of EVERY fat clothing item I had. Bought all new clothes at a size 12 and medium top. Then, I gained a few lbs, so I had to get some 14s... 16s.... 18s... 20s... and finally was back into the 22-24s. So, that sucked. BUT... now I have all those sizes to back down into and don't have to shop at each turn. :) I get to shop in my closet! And most those clothes are practically brand new, so woo hoo for me!

Thankfully my cousin ...I have this problem as well. Thankfully my cousin has given me some of her clothes as she lost weight too. But most of them now are too small still. So I have to wait to fit into most of them. Most things are getting big, fast. Great problem, but hard on the pocket book. My workout stuff is falling apart.Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441082297152690560noreply@blogger.com
