Ok well I have 2 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of shorts I can wear but thats it now.

See I finally lost those 30 lbs when I started this diet in June. But there was one fatal flaw now I can not fit my pants. Well minus the ones listed above. Everything else just hangs off of me and I feel uncomfortable wearing them. This was something I did not think of in advance. I guess I never that I would really lose the weight.

I am gonna have to hit some thift shops and get some jeans. I can not afford right now to get them brand new. I knwo that I am in a size 8 now because I tried on some pants last week just so I could find out what size I wear now.

Oh the joys of lossing weight.

Yup! Been there. I dropped 30 lbs several years ago and had bought a bunch of suits (for interviews) before I started the diet.

I recently tried them on to see if I could get them tailored, but it would cost me the same to buy new.


Congrats on losing the weight though!!!

Hmph. Well, I despise your skinny little backside!
No, seriously, that's wonderful -- with all the troubles you've been going through, it's great that you have this to be happy about!


So when do we see pictures of your little rail of a self?

I will try and get some up. I went from 160 to 130.

Yeah even if I can't wear most of my pants I am glad so glad to have lost the weight.

You could always check the thrift shops to get something to tide you over until you can get some new stuff. It's great that you lost the weight - no easy task. Of course, as I get older I'm shrinking, so you always have that to look forward to.

That's one of those good problems! Back in high school my friend's sister worked at a thrift shop and we'd get clothes with the tags still on them from her. Hopefully you can find some good ones to hold you over!

I am pretty sure I can get some nice ones. I am probably gonna stop by this one shop monday. She gets some nice clothes in there. Last time I was there she had some nice Bongo jeans, Tommy jeans and several others. And they looked close to new.

I'm low on pants because I've gained weight and I'm too stinking fat now to wear them. Congrats on losing weight. I think my weight gain is from the medicine I'm taking to try and quit smoking. I've been on it since May and have gained about 25 pounds. I haven't even quit smoking so I think I might stop using that medicine.

I feel your pain



I too have lost a considerable amount of weight in the last year. I hit up the thrift stores alot.
I can get 2-3 pairs of name brand jeans for under $15-$20.

I once got 2 pairs of Tommy Hilfiger jeans for $2.. one pair still had the tags on it

And another pair of CK for $3.00... I LOVE thrift stores

I wish that was my problem, see mine is the opposite problem. I can't fit into any jeans because I GAINED weight. That sucked! I'm working on getting it off and I'm slowly being abble to pull my jeans up a little higher on my thighs and butt every week. I gained 40lbs in two years.....ouch! I suppose we'll see if I can get at least 30 back off



Great job though! That's awesome!
