Freebies
Hi All,
I am ready to give some of my clothes away to anyone who can get some good use out of them. They are free - unless unless I need to ship them to you - then shipping would be your only cost. If you live in Hampton Roads, you could just come pick them up.
Here's what I have right now:
1 pair of black size 18 Liz Claiborne capris pants
1 pair of olive green size 18 Liz Clairborne capris pants
1 white size XL Liz Claiborne v-neck Knit shirt (Short Sleeve)
1 black size XL Liz Claiborne v-neck Knit shirt (Short Sleeve)
1 aqua size 18/20 Just My Size v-neck t-shirt (Short Sleeve)
1 bright pink size XL Jones New York Sport v-neck knit shirt (Short Sleeve)
1 coral size XL Jones New York Sport v-neck knit shirt (Short Sleeve)
There will be a lot more clothes shortly. I have "outgrown" most of my size 16 capris too, but I need to hang onto them until I have built up a large enough supply of size 14 clothes that I can wear for a while.
They will go to the first person who contacts me. They are all in very good shape - I only wore them for a few weeks!
Hugs,
Robin
Hey there Miss Robin! You'd better stop buying all that designer stuff! You are wasting your money! (Especially now that you are into the 14's) There is a smaller difference between misses sizes than women's sizes. It's something like 3 inches between women's and 2 inches between misses...you are about at the point where your clothes will barely last a month (and sometimes it seems like only days or weeks). As you drop go to the thrift store and shop the clearance rack.
I know, I know, as you get smaller it becomes more and more difficult to stop buying clothes but I sure would rather have the money back rather than the tax write off for all that I have recently donated.

Hi there, Girl!
How are you? Thanks for the good advice. I have always worn these type of clothes even when I wore women's sizes recently. Most of what I am giving away, I had bought on my way up the scale, but was too big to wear at the time and never returned it to the store. I have not bought much at all since I started losing weight, but I am to the point now where I am going to start needing some clothes. Thanks for looking out for my wallet!
Take Care,
Robin

Robin! WOW!
You are doing awesome! I am thrilled to see your success! I am right behind you in clothing sizes and finally starting to wear clothes in 18W. Isn't it awesome! I can't wait to start buying clothes in regular womens/misses sizes...no more 1x, 2x, 3xs!!! I had not had to purchase any clothes until now since my closet had every size from 20W to 3x in it!
Take care, and I am watching for your next clothing donation...

Awe - thanks, Dianne! I am loving this new life and am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to have this life-altering surgery! My next clothing donation should come along soon if my weightloss pattern continues as it has been. I should be beginning a week in which I lose about a pound per day, then it will slow down for about a week. My 3 month anniversary is one week from tomorrow and I am hoping to be at about 178 by then. You are doing really great, too! Keep up the good work! I am proud of you!
