What to do? (Slightly OT)

[wilma-bride]

Having lost 18 lbs in the last couple of months, I am at that awful in-between stage where my current clothes are getting really loose and my used-to-fit clothes are still miles too small.

Have got 5 weeks to go till my holiday and I don't think I'm going to lose enough weight before then, to get into my too-small clothes. But if I continue to lose then the clothes I have now will be much too big and look stupid.

I don't really want to buy new clothes if I can help it but, by the same token, I don't want to stop dieting now and undo all the hard work I've put in over the last few weeks.

Decisions, decisions.

You should average 1lb a week so will that extra 5lbs be enough to get back into your "old" wardrobe? If not, then you'll just HAVE to buy new - not such a hardship really! I never need an excuse to shop!

snap - - I've just done the same !

I've lost nearly 2 stone in the past 4 months I've gone from a size 16 to a 12.

What a lovely feeling to put on last years skirt and have it fall off

I've had to go and buy loads of smaller knickers cos all of mine are too big and new shorts etc.

Keep going !

Why don't you just buy the new clothes in Florida ? We will be a size smaller out there LOL

Well done on losing all that weight so far. It's hard isn't it?

I joined WW in 2002 and lost a stone and a half just in time for my wedding last year, but have put on half a stone of it in the past year, so I am trying to lose 9 lbs (have done 4 so far - so almost half way!!).

Anyway, I think you should treat yourself to a shopping spree, but if you don't want to spend loads on new clothes that are going to be too big soon, why don't you try E-Bay?

I have been buying loads of clothes on there recently for not very much at all (Got a gorgeous new black, strapless dress for our 1st Wedding Anniversary for just under £12!!)

Well, I have just had a sort out of my wardrobe and drawers and found 4 pairs of trousers and 2 pairs of shorts that now fit me (didn't last year). So, I am gonna treat myself to a few new tops/tee-shirts as it won't matter if they're a bit looser than they're meant to be. If I manage to lose enough weight to get into the other clothes that don't fit me now then that's a bonus.

We're only going for a week so I'm not going to need to take much anyway.

Thanks for all your comments

Congrats on the weight loss ~ Always a lovely feeling when you need to shop for smaller clothes

WoW Florence - 97lbs lost. That really is some kind of achievement. I don't know about buying clothes one size smaller, you must be several sizes smaller now. Well done.

Well I'm a bit naughty. I am on countdown to our trip in Oct and have promised myself that I will lose just over a stone that I have put on after I lost it with WW. Well up to now I haven't lost much of it but I do have clothes in my wardrobe that will be fine once I can shift this weight so I really need to get motivated to shift it in 7 weeks. I will buy tops as these will be fine even once I have lost the weight but I won't buy bottoms until it has gone. Next have a selection of shorts in the Directory so I know I will be fine for Oct. If I were you Wilma-Bride I would have a splurge just before you go away and keep losing that weight
Here's to carrot sticks
