Just binned two pairs of barely worn jeans because they're suddenly HUGE! Remember to try on those 'too small' clothes before they become 'way too big'!
 
Totally! Closet shopping is the best. Found a pair of 38 waist jeans I bought a decade ago after a big weight loss, but I gained it back. This time, I blew right past them. Down 95 pounds and rocking size 32s now!
 
Ugh, that's the worst, Compound_Goals! I've got several pairs of size 18W pants in my donation box, plus a bunch of tops. Wore some old 16 capris last week, and they were falling off by the end of the day. Might just be stretched out though.

Since I'm new to this and only down about 10, I ordered a few capris for summer. Not loving the high waist on my usual brand anymore, so I'm trying a 14W. Also checking out Silver Jeans Co at Macy's – lots of cute styles and lengths. Gonna try on a bunch to get me through the next few months. Hate baggy jeans!
 
It's getting chilly here, so I've been digging out my winter clothes. So satisfying pulling on sweats and seeing how much extra drawstring there is now!
 
There's a consignment shop nearby that takes my 'too big' clothes. If they accept them (good condition, in style, etc.), I get store credit or cash. Credit is a better deal, so I do that and grab new smaller sizes. What they don't take goes to a women's shelter. Went from XXL to Medium! I work from home, so I don't need fancy clothes, but it's fun to shop now!
 
Yep! I'm shrinking out of my jeans one size at a time. I'm excited to wear my smallest jeans from before I gained weight. Can't wait until I need to buy even smaller ones.
 
I know, right? I'm still figuring out how I fit into my size 8s. They feel small when I wash them, but then they're loose when I wear them. 🤷‍♀️
 
I got rid of a TON of clothes last year.

Pants, shirts, jackets, the whole shebang.

But I saved two favorite pairs of jeans: dark green and maroon.

I can squeeze into the maroon ones now, and the greens will fit in a couple weeks.

So glad I didn't toss them!
 
It's such a different experience this time around. Instead of obsessing over every calorie, the focus is shifting to just feeling good and having more energy. I saw someone else mention this:

How does it feel no longer dragging around another whole person everyday?

... and yes! Exactly that!
 
Totally agree! It's more than just the clothes, it's the feeling. I saw someone on another forum posting about their upcoming wedding:

That's what it's all about!
