Awwwww...poor Mike has to go buy SMALLER clothes. I feel so bad for

him. Heehee. I bought a pair of smaller pants today too. They're

20's. I can't wait to get into 18s and have a 1 in front of the #

instead of a 2 or a 3. LOL! I started out wearing a size 30. Now I'm

down to a 20. WOOHOO! I haven't been a 20 since before my daughter was

born! 11 years ago! LOL! And I'm in an xl shirt. I'm happy w/ that

FOR NOW! All I asked for for Christmas was $$ for clothes. I'm getting

a gift card to Kohls, Fashion Bug, and Old Navy. My 3 favorite stores.

:-) I bought myself a pair of jeans and a sweater to wear to our

Christmas part at work on Wednesday. I absolutely LOVE to shop these

days! I just wish I had more $$ to do it with!

Mike

My husband has been very successful in buying clothes via Ebay for a very

small amount of money. He has gotten shorts, pants, denim jackets and shirts.

He buys mainly new items and has been very pleased when they arrived. good

luck.

It's a good thing I was actually doing about 1100 calories which will

probably be 1060 or so now. ARGH!

mistake they're almost falling off me. Fine maybe they didn't fit

last Friday either. I don't know. This really sucks I think I wore

these things like once or twice. Oh and Wednesday I tried to wear a

pair of slacks that were 46 " because, well, they're the only blue

ones I have. Smooth. I could have walked around with another person

think that was my smallest adult waist. For the ladies out there

getting below a 40 " is sort of a big deal for guys, at least I think

it is, because normal weight people are all in the 30 inch area like

32, 34, 36, and even 38.

Thanks. I had success with ebay too. I'm down to a 2XL or more often

an XL so I'm able to buy off the rack usually for much less than ebay

and have the advantage of USUALLY being able to try it before I buy

it.

Getting jeans for $13, slacks and shirts for $20 and t-shirts for

anywhere from $2.50 in quantity to $20 for prints is much better than

when I was larger buying them for nearly twice that on ebay. I can

even wear regular socks and underwear too which cost about 1/4 what

the sizes I used to buy were.

I also steal clothing from my father now except that his clothing is

now getting too big for me.

I still have links to larger sizes if anyone needs them but I can't

use them now.
