I got rid of all of my smaller stuff and sort of regret it. I had a similar weight gain before I got pregnant and thought I'd never lose it all, but I did. On the other hand, I did get to buy a bunch of new stuff, which was fun

I probably have 5 sizes in my closet currently.

but I try to do the one in/one out thing when I get new clothes. and once or twice a year I look back through the too small stuff to try to decide if I DO get back to that size, will I even want to wear those clothes?

I like to have the next smaller size as inspiration so I can try it on periodically (it takes me FOREVER to lose a pants size). But I also don't have a massive closet so it's nice to occasionally make room for stuff I love now and can wear now.

I actually updated my wardrobe recently. I have a lot in my current size now and got rid of a size I haven't been in years. My goal post pregnancy is to stick to the size I bought and have been for awhile.

I think it depends on whether you plan on working at it or not, and more importantly, whether those clothes represent the sense of style that you currently want to project. For me, I got rid of things that no longer went with my sense of style regardless of what size they were.

I gained a lot after getting married (6.5 years ago) and an extra 10 lbs going through fertility treatments. Post partum I am about 20 lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I have lost weight in weird places like my hands and feet (down a shoe size and my rings are now at least one size too big). I also lost a lot of weight in my face, which didn't get big with pregnancy, just had been rounder and rounder over the last few years. I can fit in a lot of old clothes, but I'm BFing so I don't know how long this will last. One thing to keep in mind is that even losing the weight, things have rearranged themselves. My hips and ribs seem wider still, and I don't know if that will ever change. I'm about 5 months PP (with twins).

@twodoghouse:

@FliegepilzHut: I could have asked this same question.

I'm holding onto my smaller clothes. Just in case.

I don't know if it's the metformin or the BCP that I'm on, or maybe I'm using food to cope with the failed treatments, but I've gain 13 pounds in the last 2 months, I think. Or maybe I just enjoy food and don't really watch what I eat and turning 30 might have changed my metabolism. I thought I was just super bloated lately but then I got on a scale last week and realized that it wasn't it. I need to start going back to the gym.
