semi sweet experience today
I didn't need new clothes until I'd lost over 50 pounds. I figure that my clothes were too tight/stretched out when I had surgery, so I had to lose enough weight for them to fit correctly before losing more to need smaller clothes.

When I was bigger, I could go 50 pounds before I needed the next smaller size. As I got smaller, new sizes came closer and closer together.
You'll shrink.

This has been my experience as well. The 1st 3 months, I was able to maintain the same clothes, they just started feeling loose. Afterwards, I lose a size about every 6 weeks.

Stalls are your body's way of telling you not to get too cocky.

I lost heaps of weight before I needed to drop a size. The size 26s that I had were all as tight as hell and stretched to the brink of their capacity - and they were the more generous of size 26 clothes that I could find. To comfortably actually FIT a 24 was a long wait!

I had a couple of minor NSV's yesterday. I put on a T-shirt that I had not worn since surgery. Usually it puckers outward in the gut. Now it looks baggy. Then I put on my jeans that I would wear on and off when I lost weight and before I gained it back. They fit perfectly. Since all of my other pants are getting loose I decided to buy a belt. Last time I could not find one that fit in the women's section. I had to buy a men's belt. Yesterday, I bought a 1x lady's. I almost fit in the large last hole. Small victories but made me proud.
