My clothes are falling off...

How would you strategize to save money on new clothes, knowing you have a long way to lose?

I'm down 30lbs and my phone is trying to undress me. Dang thing is heavy enough to pull my pants down!

I obviously need some new threads. I have 130lbs to go though, so I want to strategize a little bit and save some money.

What would you do?
•Buy clothes that fit now and just accept that you'll be getting another size soon, you're saving money on gray anyway
•Buy clothes that might be a little tight now and lose weight to fit into them better, in theory this should save money/clothes waste
 
I don’t think I’ve ever had clothes fit properly. There either too tight or falling off. I do get that sweet spot for several weeks a year where they fit perfectly.

How about thrifting a small wardrobe that fits you now, and just planning to continue doing that as needed? You could donate back the ones that no longer fit you . . . circle of life . . .
 
If you are like me(prolly not), maybe? I still have 10-20yr old clothes that are new(some with tags & some that are still dry-clean fresh&crispy starched! From when I was lean & mean!! Maybe I will bring back a fashion style🤷
Either way, I have clothes to look forward to(hopefully).
Side note, I have 4 closets in my house and I looooove my old comfy dress clothes. And now maybe I have a chance of wearing them one day
 
Thrift stores. Pro tip, find one in an affluent part of town, those darn rich people donate GOOD stuff!
 
buy cheaper clothes that fit you now. Buy stretchy clothes that will fit a wider range of sizes.

I have bought cloths 3 times now over the last 10 months. Not complaining just loving it.

Congratulations! Thats a good problem to have! Maybe get some belts + what you buy with elastic bands & possible tie strings to last longer until you reach your goal
 
Two words: Old Navy.

Disposable clothes I bought two pairs of shorts for 10 dollars the other day because my shorts from last year were literally falling down as I walked and I was afraid I was going to get arrested both for having shady peptides and pants falling down in public
 
Same here, I noticed today that my fat pants are falling off. Down 28.5 lbs., 31.5 to go to get to my approx. goal weight. Feels nice doesn't it?
 
Try getting some of your favorite or expensive clothes tailored but also splurge yourself. You deserve it, you've been bussing your ass. No better motivation to keep going than to reward yourself along the way.
