The power of a safety pin ....

Ok so the weight starts melting off. One of the things I found and still use occasionally are SAFETY PINS. Big ones and regular sized. Along with bra extenders from michaels orJoAnn's. I altered my pants the other day with my stapler, too.

Desperate people do desperate things!!!!!! My jacket fit well but the pants were too big. I guess I should have tried them on over the weekend. Shame on me.

Any clothing tips to share????

I love spandex camisoles for all that flabby skin.
I'm also a great believer in stretch yoga pants - can cover several sizes with one pair of black pants, and if you choose the top correctly, they are OK for a lot of uses.
Finally, sports bras - more forgiving for the constant reduction in size

Oh I used to hate sports bra's! Now I like them ... Not love like my cami's and yoga pants though.

I am very lucky -- we have a casual dress code at work and I wore jeans most days this winter. Now I need to get thrifting for summer pants. Maybe even a dress or two. (new territory for me)

ohh dresses.  I haven't worn a dress in over 15 years.  I am tempted with my new body (but it has to have reasonable sleeves ;-)
