I just got these pants for work, and now I have to keep pulling them up at work, which I hate, but I can't afford to buy all new clothes now, what about next month-will I need new ones then too? I probably shouldn't be complaining but since my boobs aren't what they used to be either, all my shirts hang lower -revealing more cleavage than a hooker. Any advice for someone who wants new clothes but not until she reaches her goal? I can't sew to save my life and can't afford to get anything tailored. All I've done so far is buy a belt.
Hi DEZINERJEN - you know what I do while losing.............I go to the salvation army..........look for nice, clean, quality clothes and ta-da....I have a cheap temporary "new" wardrobe! Some people don't like to do that, but I figure I TAKE really nice stuff there so other people probably do too! I'm always pretty lucky in finding cool stuff. Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans, Bill Blass, Gloria Vanderbilt, Aero, American Eagle.............just have to search for it! My daughters laugh at me and when I go in there, they tell my family I shopped at "Sals Boutique"!!! Funny, silly, kids!
I don't have many suggestions for clothes, as I'm encountering the same issues. Fortunately, I still have some of my old clothes that fit me again (finally).
I think I might have a stress fracture in my foot. I'm not sure (since I've never had one before), but after reading about it on the Mayo Clinic website, it appears that I have the symptoms. I guess I'll have to take it easy for a while.
I think the thrift shop clothes are a great solution. I once got a beautiful down winter coat--originally from Lord and Taylor--it was $10!
I've needed new bras for months now--haven't made the time to go buy them and I am constantly pulling my straps up. I am shopping on Wednesday and can hardly wait!
Fun low points breakfast I had: slice of Ezekiel bread (1 point) toasted, spread with warm goat cheese (2 points) and topped with sliced apple. It felt very European. The mix of textures was a nice change from oatmeal.
I lost .4 tonight at our meeting. I'm thrilled that I lost, even if it's only .4! (and I know that I should say "only.") TOM this week, so hopefully I'll have a bigger loss next week.
Congrats on your weight loss! I think that you should go to the SAlvation Army or some other thrift store. It will allow you to purchase clothes without spending alot of money. You can save your money for when you reach your goal. Best Wishes.
hey Steph...........I just noticed your ticker.........you have already lost 25#!!!!!! Wow, that is great!!!!
I don't know where I've been or why I didn't notice that before this!!!
Thanks, girls! Jeanne, it's funny that you mention that, because I was the same way last night at our meeting. I lost a few pounds myself before I joined WW, so I looked at my booklet yesterday after I weighed, and I was like, "Wow! I've lost 17 pounds!!" to myself. I'm thrilled, but it seems to good to be true! It also feels like I'm going to gain it all back any minute!
Hey sistas, I agree with the second hand store thing for clothes. I have a jail ministry and go there for clothes all the time. You can't believe what great things people bring in. But like Reram I have brought in so many things with tags still on them myself.
What is Ezekiel bread???? A bread I don't know about emmmm.
