At what point did you find that you had to start getting smaller clothes? I have lost 40 pounds but my clothes seem to be fine. Of course everything I have has elastic waists and big tshirts. Thought my bra would be the first to get to big but so far no.
 
I was probably closer to 60lbs lost before needing new pants, but I stuck with elastic and drawstring mostly because I didn’t want to keep replacing them.
 
I'm already struggling with clothes. Bras were the first problem. I've changed bra sizes twice. Luckily I had some from previous weight losses. Underwear was next, as with bras, I had some of those too. I am bagging up everything that is too big to donate as I drop into smaller sizes.

Now my problem is comfortable pants. All of my smaller pants are not elastic waist bands and not as comfy as the shorts that are now too big. I will make due with what I have, but wish they were more comfy.

Really looking forward to colder weather so I can wear some of my smaller sweaters to hide my jiggly arms.
 
I've lost 100 and my elastic underwear that was basically tight spandex wouldn't stay up yesterday when I would try walking around inn my undies. I ordered some two sizes smaller and they should be here in a few days. In the meantime I have to deal with my wife giggle and squeal as she tries to depants me with a single finger when I walk by.
