I have lost 86 lb so far. Last week I just got rid of all of my bigger clothes. It was such a mental hurdle to get over and get rid of. It felt like the end of an era. There is no going back! I am the smallest size I've been since I was 14. Just bought some pieces at Old Navy and T.J Maxx on sale here in the states to get me through the summer. I will reevaluate as I continue losing weight for fall and winter clothes. Such an exciting problem to have! I loved this type of video and it came at just the perfect time.💃🏻💖
💃 This was super helpful. Your style is so similar to my way of dressing when I was in my 20s and 30s. As I got older and put on weight, I stopped dressing for me and started to dressing in just what fit. Now, in my early 50s, I want to go back to expressing my style. It might sound superficial, but aside from health reasons, one of my "whys" on this journey is to get back to wearing things I love and having a style again.
Great Video! Thanks for all those tips! One addition: Instead of giving away stuff, sometimes you can have them altered to fit your new proportions, or even do it yourself if you can. Especially dresses, skirts and tops can often cover several sizes if you take them in bit by bit.
I'm 45 pounds down of 110 needed. I just hit the seasonal sales at Old Navy for the 1st pair of Jean's in a decade. At $8, it is okay if they only fit for a month. But at my heaviest I refused to but anything fitted. All my XXL elastic waste pants will fit until I hit about 70 pounds lost.
I was losing weight with my daughter and I wear her old jeans for the time being. She has reached her goal weight but I still have 45 pounds to go. When I get to my goal we will be the same dress size.
Good American sells a line of jeans called Always Fit. They are made to accommodate fluctuations in weight. I find them to be expensive, but I got 1 pair and it lasted and carried me as I lost 60 lbs. I just got a new pair on sale and it would probably fit as I work on losing my next 40 lbs. I also found that investing in timeless bags, hats, and jewelry during this time makes a big difference.
I love this video!! I literally was telling myself that I would do a capsule wardrobe when I got to my goal. But it makes so much sense to do one now instead of randomly buying things that fit along the way. I am down 45 lbs so my old clothes don’t fit and I’m living in $5 t shirts and baggy jeans. I’m going to take your advice and look for some more core pieces to help on my journey. I would love to see more videos about fashion, and as someone who still has 70 lbs to lose I would also love to hear more about what it feels like once you reach your goal and rediscover your love of fashion. I used to love it, but for years I’ve just picked clothes that cover my body up as much as possible. 😢
Omg Bee I could talk for years about this, is there anything specific you’d like me to cover?? I’d love to do more fashion series but it’s hard to know what to specifically talk about 🖤🖤🖤
@@HalfofCarla examples of how to style flowy tops, or any other clothes that could work when you’re going through sizes, or specific ideas to include capsule wardrobes like you mentioned, any more tips on finding your style if you may not know what you even like anymore, and non scale victories related to clothes, more about what clothes you wear now that you didn’t imagine you would back then, etc. I just find that type of thing so inspiring. Another struggle I have is that fashion has changed from where it was back when I had an interest in it so I don’t really know what to wear. I don’t need to be super trendy but I want to at least not look super outdated and I have no idea where to start. So literally you could make a video just showing your favorite outfits for a certain season and I would find it very helpful, or how to style a certain piece. I’m intimidated by blazers but I heard they are the new cardigan and I think they look so nice! From what I’ve seen I love your style, your outfit in this video is awesome. I don’t know if this wordy comment helps at all. I love your videos, thank you for the inspiration !
@@strawberrysky21 This "wordy" comment as literally made me giddy with excitement. I would absolutely love to make videos around all these subjects. like all of them. This is so incredibly helpful Bee!! I think I need to hire an assistant to help me film all these things 😂
I have not been into fashion for a long time. I’m 15 pounds into an 80-90 pound weight loss and already enjoy clothes fitting better. Thanks to you I’m now excited about wearing cute clothes again. I am also going to take your advice on throwing out the clothes that no longer fit. Thank you!!! 💃
I’ve been on my weight loss journey for just about a month, and I’ve already lost a little over 20 pounds, from 222 to a little under 200. I’m starting to be too small for some of my clothes, particularly some of my tops. I’ve only been wearing leggings since being postpartum (daughter is 15 months old), and I’ve found that a hack using elastic, fed in through the inside of the waistband with a few cuts, is helping get a little more use out of them. I think I can just about size down from 2xl to xl. Also, something you didn’t mention is my wedding rings are starting to get a little too small, even though I must have weighed like 175 when I got married 6 years ago.
Congrats on your wt. loss and your new baby! The jeweler where you got your wedding rings would be able to help you with the problem of them being too loose. 🙂
💃 Carla, thank you for pointing me to this video, which has been super helpful! I had thought about having a capsule wardrobe but was unsure of where to begin! I’d been buying clothes with the only proviso being “ thank goodness I’ve found something that just about fits and isn’t too hideous in my size of 24/26”! I don’t know what my style is yet but I feel soo much younger and freer at size 18 and I’m very excited to be even smaller! Have a good week! Laura ❤❤❤
oh Carla Thank you for mentioning that with a lot of weight to lose the changes in clothing sizes aren't as noticeable until the end of your weight loss journey... I needed to hear that because I went from US size 30 to a US size 22 here on my first round of BodySlims and feel like the clothing still looks so similar! 😂
Oh Jen! I feel you. I think I'm going to do some kind of video about this, because it's something that's hard to get your head around and it might help more people not be disheartened xx
Yes this is so true !!! A video on this would be amazing. I started at 280 did not really need new clothes til I hit 230 and then not again til 195 or so (minus jeans but I did not own many of those)
I have a pair of shorts I have had for almost 15 years. They have been with me through weight loss and weight gain. In 2013 I lost 80 lbs. I kept them but they were so big I never wore them. 10 years later I gained it all back and I am wearing these damn shorts again. I am starting over for the last time. I have lost 5 lbs and these shorts already fall constantly. I am going to wear them today for the last time.
You’re funny 😆 Carla !! Love your humor 🤣 I to share your joy of shopping 🛍 for new clothes…. But now I need for you to do a video on how to stop my shopping addiction 😣 😃😂
Yes, I have every shade of black underwear the sun hahah. Would love to see a video about your favorite brands/stores especially online since maybe that would be more accessible to everyone
@@HalfofCarla May I also throw in a suggestion of your favorite vegan shampoo/ conditioner. I struggle to find vegan stuff I like and I’m getting burned out with my current and know you’ll give a honest no bs review
I loved this, great video! More fashion content would be great. Perfect timming I'm just now starting to have to thnk about getting new things for my wardrobe and don't want to spend too much. I'd love any advise on styles you found good as you lost weight. You're looking so vibrant and happy, it makes me so happy to watch you. I love the rambling 💃🖤🌹
Awe thank you so much Deni! I adore making fashion content! I have a plan for one in the coming week or two! And I’m especially glad you like the rambling 😂
💃Hi Carla! Thank you so much for tackling this topic. It is one that I've been wondering about, as I'm now down a couple of sizes and am shrinking out of a lot of my clothes. I love the individualized capsule wardrobe idea and plan to use that as I'm downsizing (literally). I also like the idea of wearing casual things with elastic or drawstring waists, which I'll be able to wear longer than something more fitted. I'm exciting about building a wardrobe from scratch once I'm at goal and will also use your suggestion of a Pinterest page to collect ideas. I second Bee's comment about more videos about fashion - specifically about finding looks that suit different body types. Thank you again. This has been so helpful!
Love this. I am 53lbs down and struggling. I have bought some new clothes, but we are in between seasons as well so all my warm clothes have me swamped. I am going to start working on my capsule now.
This was very helpful to me, especially the part where you explain that the last 5 or so pounds make such a big difference clothing wise. Can't wait to get there Thank you!
Thanks so much hun!! I forgot to mention my favourite way to shop which is sale shopping!!!! It's cheaper and it really helps to get the styles you like!
I love your style! Very similar to my taste. My problem is yo-yoing. I've maybe lost over 200lb in total from going up and down from UK size 10 - 16/18. I am 38. So I have clothes from when I was slimmer I refuse to throw out. I'll keep trying ☺️
Struggling at the mo 😢, the battle is real , new goals and day tomorrow 😁🖤 thankfully all my favorite clothes are a size 12 and have been in my wardrobe 15 years waiting to be worn again , binned my size 20 jeans yesterday😃
Great tips Carla, as always. I use the capsule idea and I love it. Anything with a bit of spandex/Lycra has been my friend on the journey. Anyone stateside wondering about cheap n’ cheerful jeans for the journey, check out the brand Jordache at Walmart. I paid $16.99. They are lovely! Got the dark wash which goes nicely from day to night 🥰🥰🥰
Nooooooooooo Carla 🤣 nonono. In Feb 2018 I reached my goal having lost a bit over 100 pounds. All my big sizes clothes were donated. I loved my new wardrobe. Then Covid hit and I lost my job. Before I knew it my weight crept back up. FAST. Not quiet as much. But almost. And I had to buy a new wardrobe 😐 AGAIN 🙈 Weeeelĺl I have lost 63 pounds. Again. Have about 20 pounds left to lose and my wardrobe is spilling over 😅 Smart thing is I still have my "skinny clothes" and can't wait to fit into them. Yes, I agree. It is so much more fun to get dressed when you are a small(er) 😉 size. But all good advice from you. Except I wish I had kept my clothes. I do see what you mean though 😉 Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Im on my way down Carla, thanks very much to you and myfitnesspal. May I add something about the disposal of our 2big4menow clothes. Ive got a few blouses that I love, love but they will be too big on the shoulders by the end of the year, so I'm going to sinch them in by ruching the shoulders, as for the waist, I love belts.
Little typo in your title :) Just letting you know in case you don't notice. Thanks for the video, I love your content! You've got great style as well.
Enjoyed the video! So far - lost a bit of weight (have hit a bit of a "plateau at the moment though) and aim to lose another 50 at least. I've gone from 267lbs to 216lbs and gone from a US size 24-26 down to about 16-18 depending what style, etc. I'm a single, 5'3", curvy "mature" women who does NOT want to look "old" or frumpy, yet doesn't want to look like she's trying to be a teenager again. Since I am still losing, this can be an expensive proposition for my limited budget! The 3 things I find that are my biggest challenges are #1.finding classy, updated styles suited for my body shape, height. #2. shoes that fit my wide feet and don't kill me but are still fashionable! #3 affordability! BTW, your upbeat mannerisms and manner of speaking remind me of my beautiful dark-haired younger daughter who is about your age.😊) Thanks for your video.
💃Loved this. Really helpful - epecially re: bras and throwing things out - and trying on EVERYTHING. Re: your love of black - it just shows you are a fellow New Yorker at heart! 🖤😉
Awe thank you Laura, I can confirm I am 100% a New Yorker at heart. I miss it so much everytime I leave. I haven’t been there in 6 years and it feels like a part of me is missing 🖤
💃🏼I love this kind of videos. I order from Ulla Popkem Germany (live in Sweden) and the problem is that I never return clothes. Maybe it fit soon. But when it fits I dont like them. I wait for me to reach size 56 even on my tummy, then I think its easyer to go an shop IRL.
Does anyone have experience of taking clothes to a seamstress/tailor to be altered? Could this be a cost-effective and planet-friendly option for better quality items? Personally I hate ‘fast fashion’, but the second-hand market can often be limited in terms of finding the right styles and sizes.
Yes. I bought some work pants second hand when my old work clothes didn’t fit, and just had some taken in the waist. Given the way my body is shaped, getting the waist taken in extend the life of my pants (I have wide hips).
I've been struggling with weight loss recently I started at 265 and I'm now at 209 but I currently can't find a good calorie deficit or time to exercise because I have recently had to start a second job and work around 90 to 100 hours plus I'm a mother of a beautiful 2year old girl who was recently diagnosed with autism so we are doing constant appointments but this is really putting a roadblock on my weight lose journey can you give possibly give any advice on how to get over this roadblock?
lol outgrown maybe, undergrown haha was that the term you were looking for? I've been at home sick and feeling sorry for myself....this video cheered me up a lil bit
💃I go to Macy's clearance racks and keep gravitating to my old size 22/24 or 2X/3X. Why do I still feel this large?! Maybe it's because I'm still wearing my loose column dresses.
I am at the very beginning of my weightloss journey. I am in the middle of a clothes sort out, I have the opposite I kept stuff I liked for 10years plus sizes 10 to 14 that I haven't managed to get down to in the past. Would you keep them or just think they do not fit me now and take them to the charity?

💃 loved this video. Lol More fashion passion please! ;)
Gladly. I think you can tell it's my favourite to film. I'm actually doing a vlog today which I hope will include a fashion haul. x
💃 I have been wondering what to do about this! This was extensively helpful. 💜
I love this video! Thank for the tips 💃
Thanks Jessica 🖤
Does anyone have experience of taking clothes to a seamstress/tailor to be altered? Could this be a cost-effective and planet-friendly option for better quality items? Personally I hate ‘fast fashion’, but the second-hand market can often be limited in terms of finding the right styles and sizes.
Yes. I bought some work pants second hand when my old work clothes didn’t fit, and just had some taken in the waist. Given the way my body is shaped, getting the waist taken in extend the life of my pants (I have wide hips).
I love your outfit, you look amazing!
Thanks Chelsi!
can't get over that 😈smile at 9:45 🤣🤣🤣
Do as I say not as I do 😂😂😂
I've been struggling with weight loss recently I started at 265 and I'm now at 209 but I currently can't find a good calorie deficit or time to exercise because I have recently had to start a second job and work around 90 to 100 hours plus I'm a mother of a beautiful 2year old girl who was recently diagnosed with autism so we are doing constant appointments but this is really putting a roadblock on my weight lose journey can you give possibly give any advice on how to get over this roadblock?
lol outgrown maybe, undergrown haha was that the term you were looking for? I've been at home sick and feeling sorry for myself....this video cheered me up a lil bit
Hope you feel better soon Regina 🖤
❤
Awesome video! 💐
Thank you Helanie 🖤
Love this 💃
💃I go to Macy's clearance racks and keep gravitating to my old size 22/24 or 2X/3X. Why do I still feel this large?! Maybe it's because I'm still wearing my loose column dresses.
I am at the very beginning of my weightloss journey. I am in the middle of a clothes sort out, I have the opposite I kept stuff I liked for 10years plus sizes 10 to 14 that I haven't managed to get down to in the past. Would you keep them or just think they do not fit me now and take them to the charity?
💃These are great tips!
Thanks Kristin 🖤🖤
Brilliant 💃
Thank you! :-) great video! I have one question, did your shoe size change as well or did it stay the same?
My feet got a bit smaller but much much thinner!

It's easy to say "put it in the bin" when you have loads of money.... Not everybody has sadly....
