Just a thought...what if we set up...

[beansmom]

a clothing exchange? Kamren's post about baggy clothes got me thinking. I belong to a couple of other weight loss boards that has an exchange.

Opinions?

I have said it several times, and several have agreed, but I don't think anyone has thought about it very seriously. I have 2 full wardrobes--including swimming suits that are in boxes and marked at yard sale prices--I sent one to a member here to help her out too! I would send these to anyone else or back to her if asked--just to not have to deal with the boxes anymore. I have offered several times to do this but no takes except the one. I think it is a great idea--we are all going through sizes like water right now.!!!

i would have to agree i think it is a fabiouls idea... i have pants that are HUGE on me yet i continue to wear them.. but now i think im going to have to part w/ them... i wore them to the gym today and had to wear exersize shorts under them and take them off after i got to gym beacuse they were so baggy they were falling off..

I have bags of things.. that usualy end up in salvation army..

Gilley,

What size do you need? I have 20 and 22 sitting in boxes right now with 18s headed that way soon too!

What a neat idea. I just donated 8 30 gallon size bags of clothes and shoes to Goodwill.. Oops.. Would have gladly shipped it to someone here. Sorry... I will know next time when I move on down to the next size to post it here..

I have done that with oh so many clothes already too--but since we started yardsaling a month ago--I did save some of the good things to sell. Did OK the first time, sent a box to someone here and still have two boxes sitting here to do something with. . .EEEEKKKK! I want them out of my dining room!

you seem to be just a little under my weight.
what size are you in now?

im rangeing between tight 20 and a comfy 22, shirts im wearing 18 if the sleves arnt to tight or if they r sleveless

This is a very good idea. Most of what I have are 30, 32, and 34's though. I think I may need them after my surgury though....how to get clothes over my splint will be a challenge. (I will have my arm straight out at my side)

Right now I am wearing 24's and 26 for the most part.

I did buy a couple of outfits from Catherines.com yesterday. They were having a HUGE sale yesterday

I am a 18 top if it is dress style--some 16's and a 16/18 jeans/pants depending on the styling. I have a ton of nice clothes sitting in boxes that simply fall off my butt now! I can almost get rid of my 18's but not quite--the 16's still don't button easily or comfortably! I am just a bit smaller than you are--probably shorter too! I am only 5'3" but I buy the medium length pants becasue petites are too short--geared for under 5'2" so I wear them too long instead of high water! Let me know--if you are interested--PM me and give me your address and I will send you some--I also have 3 or 4 windsuits in that same general size--XXL--that I can't wear anymore either.
