Good news & bad news

[Liz]

The good news is I got out my summer clothes and 90% of them look HORRIBLE because they are too big!!!!!!

The bad news is I don't really have it in my budget to go buy a bunch of new summer clothes, especially since I'm hoping by next summer the new ones wouldn't fit either!!!

I guess overall this is a good problem to have!

maybe you should bump up that clothing exchange thread!!

Time to get the needle and thread out and get tucking??

Brilliant news.

Liz, this is for sure a "good news" kinda problem to have! I hope you are darn proud of yourself! Did I read, on another thread awhile back, talk about WISHer's clothing swap...a way for WISHer's to swap clothing as they go through various sizes yet really don't want to invest a lot of money in a temporary wardrobe? Maybe this was just talked about, but never started. I am sorry I don't remember! You might want to try the search function for it. Continued good WISHes with your weight loss!

WOO-HOO!!!!!

Go to Target and buy two pairs of khaki shorts and two t-shirts and wear them all summer!

That is awesome news, Liz!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Sending you "lottery winning" pixie dust for a new wardrobe to tide you over!

What a GREAT problem to have, Liz!!!

I'd definitely do what Karen suggested: go to Target or JCPenney, where you can pick up a few shorts, capris and tops for not much money. Even if you only get 2 or 3 new outfits, you can look and feel fabulous without breaking the bank!!!

I would be more than thrilled to help share my clothing as I grow out of it- if anyone starts this I'll try to stay on top of it.
It's so hard not to weigh everyday-but I'm going to try and start next week only weighing weekly- I did take measurements that I'll update every 2 weeks like Kath suggested just in case my scales are not going down like I'd like them to!
Hoping you get some bonus dollars for some new clothes!!

I have an attic full of clothes in various sizes. I'm hoping I can go shopping up there by summer!

Try going to the thrift stores in your area...I don't know if you have an Amvets, Goodwill or salvation army store...but you can get some good clothes there for a really good price. When my kids were little and didn't have a say I used to pick up some of their stuff there. I actually got a pair of pants for work that still had the labels and price tags on them and I only paid $2.00!!
