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!

What an exciting NSV!  Congrats!  I can't wait until I can fit into my next smaller sized clothes. I've got a bunch of cute stuff I haven't worn for years.

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!
