I tried to go to Goodwill and a couple consignment shops, but had not luck.

Yesterday I went to Ross and actuall found a lot of stuff. Of course, I didn't want to buy too much, but needed some clothes to wear to work and bumb around in.

It was nice to buy a 1X instead of 3X! And, the prices were cheaper than the consignment shop!

As long as they last me a couple months I will be happy. I hope to be out shopping again the end of the summer!

I know the feeling!! It is tough to buy clothes your not planning on wearing long!
I head to the discounted racks. lol
I just bought a pair of shorts since none of the ones I had would fit.
I bough a size 18 compared to size 24 that I wore last summer.
Congrats on your weight loss!! We will all be thinner by fall!

How Wonderful!!! We used to have a clothing exchange on here, people would send you their too big clothes and all you had to do was pay shipping. It was great! My WLS also, had a clothing exchange, not sure if they do it anymore. New clothes are always nice and smaller sizes even better. Keep up the good work.
 Mari  Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!

Yippee -- that is always fun.

I agree that you should not spend much during this phase ----- your size will change every few weeks

Kohl's is a good place for me to find things on clearance, also -- you might give them a try.

I did find some online with them.

I just emptied out my closet tonite after sending three garbage bags full to Goodwill yesterday. I definitely have always been a shopaholic so I am trying to refrain! I have a huge vacation planned for Sept so I am trying to hold back!

Thanks for all of the support!
