It was hard to go out and buy a new wardrobe since i was planning on passing right by that size onto the next lower size. Sadly, that never really happened for me. I'm glad i kept some of my bigger clothes, cause i'm back in them now. I do wish i had kept more of them...<BR/>But i'm a newly re-registered WW member as of tuesday, so we'll see what happens now. :)clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00251854992291809671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-45169733298942221712007-10-17T15:04:00.000-06:002007-10-17T15:04:00.000-06:00Yay for weight loss!

Everyone has weight fluctuations at some point, whether it is due to pregnancy, or stress, or whatever.

I lost 115 pounds over the course of a year, and it was maddening having to buy new clothes all the time. Luckily, I'm pretty handy with the sewing machine and was able to tailor a lot of my own stuff. If you have pieces that are worth it to you, I would highly recommend that. And shopping at second-hand clothing stores. It saved my life (and wallet).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-42029864764849892172007-10-17T06:12:00.000-06:002007-10-17T06:12:00.000-06:00Congratulations on the weight loss!
