Can't wear them to work

@collywobbles try work pants that are pull on w an elastic waist instead of ones that button and zip

Answer 2

Belted a lot of pants, and shrunk what I could. Belts on top of longer shirt helps make it appear smaller.  

Answer 3

I had some skirts and dress pants taken in. We had a big clothing swap at my WW meetings back in the day so that was fun.  

Answer 4

Thrift stores.  

Answer 5

Thrift stores

Answer 6

Goodwill works great for this! Tops $4. 99, pants under $10 and can wait for sale tag days with 50% off! I’d get some new work clothes, because seeing yourself in smaller clothes is very motivating and makes you feel good!  

Answer 7

Haha jegs and baggie shirts for now. I have summer "slim" clothes I kept and lots of sundresses that can be taken in. I'll need new for next winter though

Answer 8

Thrift stores

Answer 9

THRIFT STORES!  

Answer 10

I go away for 6 weeks over summer and points NEVER enter my head so I buy larger shorts then my mum will put darts in them so I just keep taking them out as the holiday goes on, I often put 2 stone on during my hols  

Answer 11

I had some of my dresses altered. I just have found that dresses work better for me. It’s easier to wear a dress that is a size or two larger than pants.  

Answer 12

For dresses or tnics you might want to wear a belt to give them some shape

Answer 13

Hit the thrift shops. Always have one pair jeans that fit

I get more excited to fit into clothes I already have that are too small than I do buying new ones❤️

Answer 15

I go to the clearance racks at target and kohls to get new everyday clothes - you can get some good deals - i will splurge on smaller sized special occasion clothes

Answer 16

Second hand shop. I found so many awesome things that i I still check out the second hand shop. Also kohls sale racks

Answer 17

I have found elastic belts are a big help! Looking for a one inch elastic belt!  

Answer 18

I have done that .  

Answer 19

You could try consignment stores or goodwill

Answer 20

I haven’t altered but I should look into it. I’ve been spending WAY too much on clothes along the way. Even with clearance racks.  

Answer 21

Check consignment and thrift stores

Answer 22

I had lost about 80 pounds about ten years ago and slowly put most of it back on. I gave all my bigger clothes away and had to buy an entire smaller wardrobe. When I gained the weight back I had to buy larger clothes. Now I have clothes in sizes from 2x to medium, so luckily that's not an issue with me. I'm having so much fun fitting back into my smaller clothes. That's what I focus on now instead of the scale. Good luck with your weight loss!  

Answer 23

Leggings are great , they stretch to whatever size u are and comfy ! My favorites are from Walgreens usually this time of year for $5 on sale

Answer 24

Just keep pulling the pants up, finding a belt to help  

Answer 25

Darn near all that I own but then decided waaaay more fun to buy new

Answer 26

Wore my clothes till I finally got called out by my friends and co-workers telling me I needed to stop wearing them. Haha I knew I was still not at my goal. So, some things I altered, if I really like it and it was easy. But, then went to Community Aide. Found some really cute clothes to get me through. I made a decision that u will not buy anything new till u get to goal. I have slipped a few times, but not often. I also gave the rest of my bigger clothes to a nursing home to recycle.  

Answer 27

Answer 28

Second hand shops. other people in WW. wanting to get rid of clothes. end of the year sales

Answer 29

Yes I have a couple fancy dresses & pants that were gifted to me when I was at my heaviest. You bet I found a great person to alter them for me. She has done it twice now. Due to elderly eyes my sewing days are over. If you are unable or don’t have the inclination shop around by word of mouth for someone in your area. All my other clothes are purchased at thrift stores or super sales at inexpensive stores.

If they are of altering quality, I would consider doing it. For my regular riff raff clothes, it would not be worth the money for me.
