I am down 7 lbs, making it just less than a pound a week. It feels very sustainable, but clothes are starting to droop! I have a belt and am starting to use it, just wondering when to shop, ideally I would wait about a month since I buy 1 or 2 clothing items at each monthly paycheck. I just bought 2 good pairs of shoes. I think with the belt and sewing I should be okay. What do others do? And do you keep the larger clothes? I can bloat monthly so I may keep something for those days. I never kept my smaller clothes but I also gained very slow
