Having a dilema with clothes ( Im not complaining lol)
Ok so Its been almost 9mths since my RNY surgery and I have lost a total of 152lbs. The weight is literally flying off. I am so proud of myself for sticking by the book and doing everything that the doctors and nurses told me to do. I was a size 22 almost 24 and I am wearing a size medium. Right now I am borrowing clothes from my mom and we def don't have the same taste in clothing style as I do. Where does a girl who is on a very tight budget find clothes in Massachusetts. I still wanna lose about another 20-30lbs to reach my dream goal so any imput will be greatly appreciated

I visit goodwill alot and now is yardsale season so I have been hitting those.I have also asked some friends on facebook if they had cloths to get rid of.All of these ways have gotten me lots of cloths.I have apretty nice wardrobe going on right now.Theres no way I could afford new cloths every few weeks or so and this way is working perfect for me. Good luck
Try goodwill, thrift stores, consignment stores, and hit all the sales at the stores like J.C. Penney's etc. I hit JCP and got pants, shirt, sweater for $30.00! Keep an eye out for the end of season sale**** ebay, etc. Lots of places to find something if your not wanting to pay a lot.

The Salvation Army and I were very good friends when I was losing and I still go to resale shops, everything I buy new is used after one wearing, right?
I then send everything I've undergrown to the Salvation Army for the next person. Worked for me.
Hugs and keep up the wonderful work. Staying true to your plan has so many rewards.

Thank you everyone for all of the great ideas and I am going to use all of them.I joined this website two months before my surgery and it truly a great place to either help others or yourself. I cleaned out my closet today and literally kept some tshirts to hang in the house or for the gym but I donated every article of clothing I ever owned. I started at a size 22/24 and I tried on a size 10 pants and they fit perfectly. It literally brought me to tears because I am finally winning the obesity battle. As soon as I heard that my insurance would pay for the procedure something inside of me knew that this would be the best choice for me. Its not only changed my outside appearance, it has also improved my self esteem and confidence. I use to always hear that saying when you put ur mind to something you can truly do it and I have proven that its true. I hope all of you have the amazing experience that I have been blessed with. I wish you lots of luck and happiness to all.
