Weight loss and clothing

Res

When losing a large amount of weight say around 30-50, when do you buy new clothes? At the very end of it?

I lost 35 pounds over the summer/fall. I bought myself something new every 10 pounds as a reward. With the first 10 pounds, I just bought jewelry since my old clothes still fit, just more comfortably. Plus I pulled out my "skinny clothes" box from the attic and "shopped" there. I couldn't afford to change my whole wardrobe with every subsequent 10 pounds lost, lol, but I would buy something that fit well and made me feel good - a new pair of pants, top, etc. And I was careful to not spend a lot of $ on new transitional clothes since I planned to continue to lose weight. My weight stabilized in December, so I was able to take advantage of post-holiday sales to buy winter clothes in my smaller size. Lately I've been buying spring/summer clothes. It's lots of fun! Good luck to you!!

I lost 25lbs or so a few years ago and waited until I lost it all and was plateauing. I don't have enough money to buy transition clothes so made do with what I had, belts etc. I did buy an occasional shirt at the second hand stores though (I lost 5-6in off of my bust! LOL).
