Well, I'll be!
Here I was, singing the blues just a couple of days ago that I'm still not fitting into my smaller clothes yet. Well, I decided to risk the depression and went in the closet and started pulling out the next smaller stuff. It all fits! I have half a closet more clothes I can wear! Well, half of them are warm weather shirts that I'd freeze in right now, but there are a LOT of nice warm ones for me to wear now. I can't believe it! All I have left in my closet are what I consider my "small clothes". They're the XL and small 2X stuff. Considering I started in a 5X, this is huge! I also got rid of all the clothes that just aren't in fashion anymore. It's nice to see them go.
I can't believe what I can wear now!

I know! There are a few things in there I can't wait to wear to work. (We dress casual at work.) I'm home sick and it makes me want to go take a shower and put on clean clothes! LOL

Isn't it fun?!!! Your closet is going to become such a revolving door for a while- you will not know what's in there. As you get smaller, the difference in sizing comes quicker. I remember loosing from 345 to 290 and I was still in the blasted 4/5 x's. Any more, 10 pounds will drop a size! Enjoy the ride! Just don't spend too much money on clothes that won't fit very long.

I've found this great site where I can go in and put together outfits that I like...sort of planning what I'd like to be wearing when I reach goal. Then I pin them to my Pinterest board. I've been having a blast. And I checked out the site for Old Navy. Holy crap their stuff is cheap!

I'm having the same fun, Jane! My problem is judging what will fit me when...I got a lot of nice tops given to me in size XL. I'm starting to fit into them now, but the weather has turned colder and they're all short sleeve
I think I'll invest in one nice sweater to keep at the office, so I can wear the short sleeves anyway!
Congratulations on your closet cleaning!
I just had another revelation. I decided to try on the pants in my closet, too. They're all XL and one L, so I knew they wouldn't fit, but I wanted to see how far I had to go. I laughed as I picked up those little things and put my foot into them. ALL THE XL PANTS FIT! Now mind you, they all have elastic waists, because I have a very large stomach and tiny little bird like legs and that's all I can wear and not look like a clown, but they fit. Comfortably! The L was too tight, but I could get them on. Holy crap!
