Yay Mike! You are shrinking before our eyes! Congratulations! This morning I

got into a pair of my cords that are size 20 from Lane . That was a

great feeling. When I was washing them I was thinking how small they look and

how I will never fit my big butt in them. LOL

Mike (or anyone really),

I'm wearing 44 jeans today and I'm worried they might be a little

loose already. Guess I can't complain. I've got a pair of khaki and a

pair of olive slacks that cost $20 each at Meijer a month or so ago.

They're really too big. I'll sell them for $10 OBO each plus shipping

if anyone wants them.

I've also got a LOT of 3X, 4X, etc. t-shirts, polo shirts, slacks,

etc. that I'm giving to Goodwill on Tuesday. I'm talking something

like hundreds of articles of clothing in various states of use. Heck

I'd sell them for a buck each if I could get it.

I have some 20 neck 37/38 arm oxford shirts too. I think they're

monogramed though. One is in the wrapper.

I also have a merchandise credit at Lane for $8.97 and

KingSizeDirect for a little over $118. I need to find that one though

(yikes where'd I put it). WLS doesn't seem to have helped my

organization skills.

Well crap. Kingsizedirect says I have to order online and then call

them and they can apply my credit to the order. I guess that's good

except I'm not sure they've got the best deals now that I'm smaller.

Maybe I could order something and have it shipped to a different

address? I'll bet I could do that. I'd probably be willing to sell

this thing for $90 OBO if anyone is interested.

Mental note...anything over $100 goes in the safe. STUPID STUPID

STUPID.

I know the feeling about the surgery not helping organization skills. I

have that similar problem. Maybe I need to up my vitimans or part of being

thinner means I am now an airhead; who knows?

Congratulations on the smaller size!!!Doesn't it feel good to get rid of big

clothes?

I also know the good feeling on wearing a smaller size jeans. I went to the

BX yesterday and tried on a size ten pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans for

women. I love them...Yes I spent a little much for them (though Aafes is

cheaper than department stores) I went back today and bought some shirts to

go with them...size medium. I just wanted some nice casual clothes for

work. I went back this morning and bought some shirts to go with the

jeans...size medium. I see myself going down one or two more sizes to an

8. My hip bones are now visible. I would like to loose about 30 more

pounds and woith tummy tuck and thigh lift I know I will make my goal size.

With the support of my family and friends and this group I know I will

maintain the loss...

That's awesome Mike! WTG!!! I am in the same boat. I have about 10 pairs of

size 24 and 26 jeans that just fall off of me now. I'm just gonna take them to

Goodwill so someone less fortunate can use them. In my area, there is this

place called Plato's closet that will buy clothes from people that are in good

condition and resell them. I haven't check it out yet, but I was thinking about

taking some of my more expensive clothes that no longer fit me and I do not want

to pay to have them tailored to see what I can get for them.

So, when are you gonna let us have a look at you in those 40x30s? You just love

teasing, don't you?! You gotta let Shauna get a look at you too! LOL! :-P

After you said you had a Plato's Closet in your area and thought it might be a

chain, I searched for it on the web. Sure enough, it's a chain. But, it buys

clothes from makers such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Limited, Tommy Hilfiger, and J.

Crew (those sizes and styles worn mostly by young, skinny teenagers). Guess I

won't be taking my clothes there. I don't really care to do the E-bay thing; it

just seems to be time consuming of which I have little to none.

We've got a Plato's Closet near my city and my daughter constantly

pesters me to take her there. They do have 2X clothing but VERY

little. It's mostly small and medium. I wonder why there doesn't

appear to be consignment shops for big/tall. After all there are

shops that sell the stuff. Maybe there's a market there?

What do you mean? I answer myself all of the time. What's wrong with

that?

Probably comes from having a dog. I just talk out loud all of the time

now. With a dog there, it doesn't feel so strange. But now I'm so used

to it I do it ALL of the time. Even caught myself doing it in public.

Probably would scare people.

I saw a t-shirt with a great saying at Kohl's yesterday. I think it

will be my new signature line for a while. It said:

" The voices may not be real, but they have some really good ideas. "

There's another possibility for you. There are some people who have

started up businesses for selling stuff on ebay sort of on

consignment. You take the stuff to them. They list it, ship it, and

everything. Then you split the proceeds. I live in a fairly small town

and there is actually one here. I don't know how you'd look them up

but it might be a little $$ in your pocket.

Are there any other consignment shops in your area? I don't mind the

eBay thing because I usually get pretty good $$ out of it. I just

listed 26 things tonight. I have probably about as many more to list;

but I didn't have pictures of those items yet. I use a turbo lister

a,

I buy clothes as my weight comes down because it makes me feel good about myself

and I love going into the store and finding I am smaller than I thought. Plus,

trying to find good used clothing appropriate for work is difficult. I usually

buy my stuff on sale and I don't mind having my suits tailored to a smaller size

and giving away my casual clothes to those less fortunate.

why not send the clothes to those just starting out who may need clothes as

I guess I have some preconceived notions about it that are likely wrong since

I've never even given it a try. I guess after you've done it a few times, you

find ways of doing it more quickly. I still have a lot to learn. Joining this

group was a big leap for me. I had never used an online chat group before

joining this one. Perhaps I'll check it out just so I can see how

easy/difficult it will be for me. LOL!
