Im in desperate needs of 16-18 pants and XL shirts...I'm in a weird spot in the weight loss where I have to accomodate all the lose skinn around my belly...but my top half is still shrinking like crazy!!
I'm a San Diegan and in the same predicament as you. I never liked the idea of wearing other people's clothes but it is starting to sound like a logical idea now!
Too bad you are two hours away. I just moved into my size 14s - so have some clothes in 16/18 to give away. :(
Try craiglist. Ebay is ok - but only the lots are really cost-effective.
