Wow moments for me!

I was still wearing my capris up until today...well as I put them on I knew I had lost 45lbs and well...I have no other clothes so nothing else to wear...I ended up walking around in them today and kept pulling them up. Finally, as I am busy my hands are busy and well MY PANTS DROPPED TO MY FEET AS I KEPT WALKING AROUND LOL. Thank god I was home! I guess I cannot wear those anymore. I did find out that I went from a size 26 to a 22 in 6 weeks. I tried on a pair of my moms shorts that were 22s and well they fit. I do not have 22s anywhere..What to do? I guess I am going to buy some more leggings becuase I do have 3 pair and I find myself wearing them a lot because they wont fall off me. I only have one pair that are capris so I guess I have to buy some more until I am in the clear to actually spend money on new clothes like jeans and things. I figured at christmas time I would get some new jeans and things...to just grow out of them anyways LOL. But for now I think i can live with wearing leggings around until then.

I know you are short on cash and I can relate.  Go to the thrift stores when you can.  You can get great deals there on great clothes.  You don't want to spend a lot of money on clothes even if you have it because they will be falling off you soon, too.  I have dropped from a 22/24 bottom and 26/28 top to 12/14 all around depending on what it is.  I skipped the 20's, did 18's for a little bit.. breezed past 16's and here I am at 12/14 and L or XL depending on the item.

it really happens quick.  i noticed it most with my work clothes.  i wear scrubs to work and within 2 weeks, i went from XL to M.  oh, the good old days.

Woohoo COngrats!!

I don't know if you are crafty, but I found myself putting a few stitches in the waist band of my things (especially the things I'd wear around the house) to keep them from falling down so I could wear them a bit longer.

I picked out my clothes one night for work and when i put them on the next morning they were too big. It can happen fast and be weird. i lived in good will and consignment shops...too much money to spend otherwise on rapidly changes sizes

I recently started to buy clothes  I was using www.freecycle.org people give away their stuff.  I wish i didn't buy anything though because the clothes I just bought a month ago are doing the same thing.  Good luck

Congrats on the loss of your pants! (literally! lol)

I feel the same way - don't want to buy stuff yet so wearing a few old things I found.  They are getting big now too.  
I think that if /when I do I will go to Walmart or  a consignment store to see if i can get a good deal

I can easily pull most of my pants off without undoing them.  On one hand it's very frustrating because it's uncomfortable to be wearing baggy clothes.  Then again, you're losing!  Yay!

A few girls I work with have offered me some of their clothes that don't fit them anymore.  In fact, I'm wearing a pair of jeans from a coworker.  She feels just sick because she took about 3 garbage bags full of clothes to the Salvation Army about 3 months ago =\ oh well!  I went from size 22 pants to size 18 right now.  I lost a lot of my weight in my abdomen these first 8 weeks but my butt, hips and thighs are catching up.

Craigslist may have some people giving away clothes.  Also try garage sales.  Thrift stores are pretty good for "inbetween" pieces and are usually quite affordable.  Investing in a good belt is probably a good idea, too.  I'm on the last loop in my belt right now =\  Jeez, it used to be that I could barely get the dang belt around me!
