Is there any place on these boards for swapping clothes as we shrink out of them?

If not, do you think it would be a good idea to have one?

Hello KinnyScientist.

Yes, its a great idea and we use to have one. However, due to the large number of fraud actions we had to discontinue this feature for our members. Check on the local WLS support groups. Most once a month have an exchange. Also post on the state board and see if there are WLS members in your area too  

Good luck to you and keep us posted on  your shrinking.

Happy Holidays,

Thanks for the well wishes.

And I will check out local events.

Great advice.

If you attend an ObesityHelp event their is usually one at those.

I'd hit up your local support group leader and ask to do one. We did a protein exchange too... bring the flavors you are sick of or didn't like and swap 'em.

Local swaps sound awesome.

With regard to the protein. If i DIDNT like it, just give it away!

I'd also suggest looking into local consignment shops, too! We've got a great little local chain called "Twice as Nice" where you can bring in "gently used" clothes for store credit, and you'll usually get a couple of bucks each for tops, maybe four or five for basic jeans. Since nice tops are maybe $7ish and jeans are $10-$12, it's almost as good as swapping because there's such a good selection!

good idea. I have unopened clothes from catalogs where I out-fatted them (or shrunk out of them) too quickly.

In particular..capris. I will swing by with the unopened item and see whatr they do.
