out shopping and purchased size 48 jeans! Down from 56 - picking up some 3x and 2x shirts for the transitions ahead!

woo-hoo

praise the King!

Don't get too excited cause you're going to be taking the new clothes to Goodwill before too long and getting smaller ones!

Yup, but can't walk around nekkid

Don't go hog wild with new clothing.  Take it from someone who bought $300. worth of new clothing thinking I was totally done losing the weight!  That was 8 years ago.  I went from a 52" to a 36".  Now 8 years later I'm at 38-40" waist.  There will probably be some regain...But look to friends, family, coworkers, different organizations that you can borrow from till you normalize on the weight.  My first year, my favorite pair of pants was a hand me down from my nephew!!

Nice job!

I've purchased almost all my stuff from Goodwill and Salvation Army.  I've cruised to different stores within about a hour radius, and I've found some really good deals.  I've got a bunch of brand name clothes in great shape that I'd never pay full price for.
