Trying on my summer clothes

[new2disx3]

So, I've never had an issue with fitting into ANY of my summer clothes...except for this year!! I tried on shorts, and capris (only 2 pairs of shorts and 2 capris) and they DON'T fit This totally sucks. I've been working out and attending weekly bootcamp classes. I'm not big at all...I'm around 130lbs...but I'm used to being around 120lbs...so they extra 10 lbs is sitting on my belly and hips
I guess I'm going to be on a mission to find some things to wear...we leave in 10 days!!

I hear you! I'm around 135, not huge, and have been working out at least 4 times a week for a month. My clothes are still tight so I guess I had more to tone up than I thought. Hubby thought maybe I was building muscle so I might appear trimmer but still bulky where there used to flab but now there is muscle!?? (I think he's just trying to make me feel better). We're not going until Christmas, but I still want to be in shape to at least fit into my usual summer garb. Too many treats this winter and not enough moving around!!!

My husband said the same thing about the muscle. I def. think I'm gaining muscle, but the fat sitting on my hips is still there.....

Oh, I can sympathise - I gained 10 pounds and 2 dress sizes! I had to go shopping last weekend for an upcoming trip south - Walmart has summer items out in their sportswear department - I found a Christa swimsuit and sarong, some sport shorts and a couple of t-shirts in the "sports" department. I also noticed that they have capris and shirts on clearance from last year's stock as well. It might be worth the trip. Sometimes the quality can leave something to be desired but if you can find name brands, you're doing well

OMG, I'm so glad somebody is experiencing the same thing. I am leaving on Saturday and haven't packed a thing for myself. All my summer clothes are out. They are all size 5 or 7 and should fit...................... except for this "extra" layer of winter bulk I suppose I'm carrying. I usually weigh 125-130 lbs. I have totally cut out simple carbs from my diet and am doing all I can. These are the same clothes I've been wearing for several summers but I will be damned if I have to buy new clothes due to weight. Wish me luck

Same here, but I did need a few new things so thankfully things are starting to show up in the stores. We are cruising, so luckily I still have a few items that I do wear in winter but are passable for formal night. I deliberately bought something that I wore at Christmas, thinking I can wear that when we go away!

Packed last Sunday and leave in 10 days also and mostly everything fits. Sorry, have been watching what I eat since the last week in January and removed carbs from my daily intake. Have lost only 5 pounds. But as everyone knows even 5 pounds helps. Still have 5 more to go.
