Hello Everyone, I am new at this, I need help. I only have one pair of pants that i fit into, I have been washing them everyday, I have tons of size 16 jeans, but don't fit I weigh 215 lbs give or take. I know for my ideal weight I have to lose 100 or more pounds, HOW? I won't buy any pants in 18, because i keep telling myself that I will lose some weight so I can fit in all the jeans that I have. I will buy more pants if i have to go smaller, but not bigger. I Tried on all my jeans the other day and couldn't find any, but one to wear. They were growing smaller, untill I had two pairs left to wear, than one pair got a hole by the pocket and then I was down to one. I am more motived than ever now to lose weight. Any suggestions on what diets or exersise I should try? I want to be 115-150lbs.

Why don't you try a second hand store. That way you won't be putting a lot of money into something that will be to big soon. My kids go to the goodwill all the time. My son comes home with new stuff all the time and pays almost nothing for it!! Stephanie

I bought tummy slimmers so that I wouldnt have to buy new pants. If you are almost able to fit in your pants they may help and they cost alot less than new pants. I got 2 off of ebay for 25 total and they are a 4x so maybe u could check there but I'm sure your local store would have them in your size.... once you get into 4x and 5x most stores cant help anymore! Goodluck!!

Hi Melissa,


I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to buy a bigger size!

Welcome to the board Melissa.
I hope you consider buying some new pants. When I ran out of stuff to wear, I was depressed wearing the few old stuff I had. For me, it was bad enough being that much overweight, and it was torture that I didn't have any pretty clothes. Don't get me wrong, I didn't go voluntarily and buy them, hubby had to drag me to the stores for shopping. But you know what? It felt soooo good wearing cute clothes. Even if it's a plus size. And when I started to feel better about myself, I start to make healthier choices to feel even better. And it worked. I started to lose weight and it felt great when the new clothes no longer fit cuz this time I needed smaller sizes.

I'm with everyone else.......if it's a money issue check out thrift stores, sometimes you can find some great items..... if not, then go ahead and get yourself a few pairs of jeans or pants.
