I am packing tonight for our up and coming move, and realized I am packing about 20 pairs of jeans from back when I was in college. I will probably never in my life fit in these again unless I go into a coma for 6 months of am on a survivor show with no food.

How many of you save things like jeans because "someday I will fit in them again".

I still have plenty of old clothes...I dole them out to various charities when they are collecting.

The way things are going I'll have some more this year.

I saved some Ralph Lauren shorts, jeans and khakis from when I was a 32 inch waist. They are brand new, four years old, and fit me again!! (I was a 35 for a while there)

The cool thing is, they're all pretty timeless, and look just like ones sold today :)

I still need to go get some more clothes because most of my business stuff is too big. I wonder if I should save my fat clothes?

I did save some of my college jeans and now after losing 50lbs I can now fit in them. :p Yup took me 11 months but finally went from 240lbs to 190lbs. the last 10lbs took the longest the easiest was the first 30 (two months)

What I did.

Slimfast
Lots of stress
and just leaving some on my plate and not getting seconds

You CAN do it too!:)

I don't have to do that, because it's not applicable to me! My clothes still size me from years, years, years, ago. :Q Actually, happy 8 years anniversary to me! My clothes keep me in check. Hope it works for those who do save their clothes for when they lose weight. :)

"6', ~137lb. I need to put on weight, not lose it."

Oh, quit showing off. I'm 6' 1" and weigh between 130 - 135 Lbs. And I'm not adding anything because I'm content with what I have! ;) :p

HotChic, don't you get it? -- he doesn't wear clothes, he wears cloths. Old, raggedly, oversized loincloths ;)
