The funny thing is that those pajama pants and drawstring capris were one of like the only things I owned that actually fit over the last year. I noticed they were both getting big but not how huge they'd gotten.  

LOL!!! My pants all look like that now, but I can't afford to replace them. I just pull them up, tie them under my boobs and wear them. I'm not sure what I will do in another 20 lbs. You look GREAT!!! Congrats. 

In that last picture with the lamp behind your head, you look like you have a halo. :-) 

Your doing great!! :D Congratulations! I'm starting to have the same issue. All of my clothes I had over the past year are just getting to big. But now I'm glad I had a bunch of smaller jeans and such in storage at my mom's. ^.^ I'm in a size 24 now, I have 2 pairs of size 22, and one pair at size 18. So I'm probably going to have to buy more clothes when I get to size 20 and below. O.O You are really looking great!! Keep up the good work!  

Yikes...this is a hell of a problem to have isn't it ladies?? I have gotten rid of a bunch of this summer's tops and capris already too big that definately will be huge by next summer. Lucky for me I have about 3 sizes in reserve for jeans. My problem is winter clothes of appropriate office attire. We are business casual all the time so I think I am going to get some jumpers, probably size 20 and wear them with blouses, tights and boots to get me thru the winter. That way they should hold up to continued losses throughout the winter. I also think some stretch cordoroy with long sweaters and short boots will work as well. Trying not to get too many really fitted things yet because I won't get much mileage out of them as the weight loss makes them unwearable very quickly.  

Sue - I love the pics....... They tell the real story!! 

I was in the range of 195 - 225ish for a pretty good stretch of time (two years or so) and that's when I first started working my first professional job so I actually have a lot of clothes in that size. I actually didn't have that much that was bigger because I was in denial about the weight gain. The downside is that a lot of the stuff I have in that size is kind of crappy looking because it's older and somewhat well-worn. I'll see what I can do re: clearance racks to remedy that. I may cave and buy a few things but I already know that the cords I bought yesterday won't fit me past this fall. (They were only $16 so it was reasonable to me). I had to put away every pair of size 20 pants I bought for work back in July, since even belted they're too big and look awful. (I stopped wearing them a few weeks back.) I don't really want to buy too much until most of my closet starts getting big on me.
