Giggling in the Fitting Room

Its such a great feeling -- and definately giggly-worthy!!! I donated all of my starting weight clothes because I never wanted to be able to wear them again -- but now I wish I had kept just one pair so I could see how far I've come. I would hang them up as a reminder why it is so important to stay focused!!! Don't buy too much - it won't be long until you will need new clothes again! Kristin

Good going Bernadette. I will "Echo" what Kristen said. "Don't buy too much!" The will be falling off you surprizing fast. Nows a good time to hit the winter clearance racks to get you thru spring! If anything, buy stuff a little tight. It will loosen up quickly. The first few monts the weight flys off! Good Luck and keep up the great work! Julio

Fashion Bug seemed like a good place to go- it's fairly cheap yet stylish. I got jeans for $20 and shirts for $9- $20 - I spent a little over $200 but I also got my girls a t-shirt each on the kids side. I am luck in that I do not have an "office job" I work as anurse 2 days a week- on days I don't go anywhere but the school bus stop and the mailbox- I wear old beat up yoga pants and t-shirts with indeterminable stains. Very classy, huh? Hey I shower every day- what more do you want????? Gonna E-bay a bunch of my nicer stuff- some NWT (new with tags) unworn items that will never fit me again - I swear.

Don't know if it is still the same price... foot locker in the Trumbull mall... 4 or 5 T's for $20 T.

I like consignment shops or even Goodwill for clothes. You lose the weight so quickly that it seems so silly to pay full price for clothes. You will find that you will wear certain things 1 or 2 times and then they will fall off you! I've almost lost a skirt in the street on several occasions. Its so exciting to see the progress but...well, it gets expensive. But its good that you don't have to buy "business" clothes, that will save you a bundle all by itself believe me!
