Question for those ACF'ers who have lost a lot of weight?
|
At what point do you start replacing clothes?
Right now i can take all my jeans/ trousers on and off without bothering to unbutton them, and if i dont wear a belt they fall off. But i've got a lot more weight that i want to lose, so im loath to buy new ones and then have to replace them again in a few months. So at what point would you say is a good time to start replacing clothes?
And yeah, i know, im fat blah blah blah (just to get that out of the way so the trolls dont have to...)

In my experience, most fat people that lose weight are fat again after as little as 3-6 months unless they go through a total life style change that keeps the fat off.
So, unless you are doing a full lifestyle change, just buy a pair of skinny clothes to wear until you get fat again.

when your old cloths are obviously not fitting properly just replace a few peices with smaller sizes and keep it inexpensive. don't replace your wardrobe until you've hit your goal weight. then if those clothes ever get too tight you know you need to try harder to maintain the size your at before your grow out of them again. its pointless to replace an entire wardrobe partway through weight loss though if you haven't hit your expected end weight.

Bought it along the way.
However, my weight loss was due to lifestyle change as well, and I lost it over the course of 1.5-2 years about 6 years ago. I believe that is why I've been able to keep most of it off and stay as fit as I am (I also obsess about it)
So gradually just bought more clothes like I usually do, just in sizes that fit then.

i think they mean you can get away with wearing oversized clothes at home and just buy enough well fit clothes to cover for when you have to go out.

Sorry yeah that's what I meant.
Weight aside, I don't often go out and about in the world too often. I can get away with few clothes in general, especially dressy ones. As in I pretty much have one set of dressy pants for example.

When your waist starts to get folded over when you tighten your belt, buy new pants.

I think it is a gradual over time change. As I dropped baby weight there was a time where nothing fit right but I knew it would be pointless to buy clothing at that size since I would not fit into them in a short bit.
I would say buy a few pair of jeans/slacks/trousers? And you can buy more shirts as they tend to be more forgiving.

I lost 80 lbs this past year, I bought new clothes when the jeans waist would fold over themselves when tightening my belt, i knew they were way too big, i went from a size 40 to a size 34, i really want to get down to a size 30, 32 at the most.
I made a complete lifestyle change as well.
I will never ever ever be fat again.
I'm at 178 right now, and i'm still considered overweight for my height and age.
But i feel good, look pretty decent (i think) and that is all that matters to me.
congrats on losing the weight.

Really? Care to find the EXACT quote where i said that? I dont think soda is healthy (even diet isnt good for you) but i still like it. And yeah, i have a couple a day so i can say to myself i've had soda, so my brain doesnt go all "OMG YOU'RE DEPRIVING ME OF SOMETHING I LIKE!". Either you cant read, or now you're just making stuff up.

I was just curious as to what point others did it. Nothing wrong with getting people's opinions. But then you're probably so far up your own arse that you think no opinion could possibly be greater than your own anyway...
