S4Scott, will do. Pedal pusher, I dont have a yard unfotunately. So I just give mine away to charity. It works for me. I'm a little disappointed though, because I gained 2 lbs this week...a combination of food choices and water retention. I can't say I didnt expect it, so I hope this week to take it back off. Just another stepping stone in the journey.

I made over $200.00 this summer from yard sales. I now shop Salvation Army, because chances are I will be putting more out next year!

LOL Alex!! Yeah but its a good thing when youre maried !! (as I am) My husband likes it! :P Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I wound up finding a heck of a deal at Old Navy on their clearance rack. Found a pair of PERFECT jeans for 7 bucks!!! Ou can't get better than that!! And Walmart always has cute shirts for like 7-19 bucks a piece. I got enough to get me through the transition....now when I get down to my ideal weight and size, I'll spend a little more and give my whole wardrobe a makeover!! Sexy strapless dresses, here I come!!!

Congratulations on the weight loss! I am so excited for you. I had to get rid of tons of clothes and just shopped for a couple basics to last me until I loose my remaining 29 lbs and I am back in a size 6 pants from being a 12/14 when I started spark people. It is such an incredibly rewarding feeling. Again, congrats to you!

Excellent work! Since Christmas is coming up, tell your family you want gift certificates to clothing stores. That's what I did last year.

Since you are still losing weight, you may also want to check out garage sales and thrift stores for your "in between" clothes.

One stumble does not a failure make.

Everything in moderation.

I know how you feel - I remember when I first noticed that I could tuck my blouses in again & wear belts. I always used to to that, but as I gained weight I guess I started to "hide" it - probably wasn't hiding a thing!

Congrats! That's awesome. A good place to consider getting good clothes cheap is consignment or goodwill. You can find good items for cheap.

It is a great feeling to have to clean out the closet and replace all with newer items that are one or two sizes smaller. Better selections too. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to everyone for their support!

My clothes are literally starting to fall off!! I went to my fave store today. Mind you, the last time I went to this store, I was their highest size, 18. Today I was completely enthralled to be able to slip into a 14, comfortably and it fit well!! I have not been in a solid size 14 in 10 years!!!!!!! I've always been between 16 and 20. I'm so happy! And I am going to have to force myself to go shopping soon, even though I don't have the money and christmas is coming...none of my clothes fit!! I'm down 25 lbs and loving it, but unfortunately, I'm going ot have to weaar my clothes until they literally fall off! (which should be in about another month. They are dangerously close!)
