Looks like you could get TWO of you in that tent!  ;)

Makes it all worth the effort, doesn't it.  :)

WWWWOOOOOWWWWW!

Great job!

I need to clean out my closet as well. There are a lot of old me
clothes in there gathering dust that I could donate. I literally
haven't touched them in years.

That's pretty funny.

I have a big stack of folded Levi's on the top shelf of my closet.  The
waist sizes go from the original 46 "stretch", to 44, 42, and to 40.  I'll
soon be adding the current size 38 that I am wearing as they are beginning
to get a little loose and I'll have to shift to size 36.    Although I am
staying fairly steady at my current weight, my waist is still shrinking ...
due to the exercise routine, I think.

Bad news is that I also have a big stack of my collection of Harley-Davidson
Tee-Shirts ... all size 2XX.  I've got them from all over the country plus a
couple from overseas.  Can't wear them anymore as I swim in them.

Wash them all carefully, press them gently, and frame them for
posterity!  Hang them on the wall and enjoy the memories.  Add a couple
of photos of you wearing them to remind yourself why you can no longer
wear the shirts...

And start collecting a new set of T shirts and memories!  :D

Great suggestion.

I've also seen this idea on one of those TV get organized programs. They
took pieces of the clothing to make a collage. Framed it up and put it on
the wall as a memory item. Takes up a lot less space.

I saved one piece of clothing, a pair of pants from when I first started WW.
I put them in a zip lock bag to keep them from getting dusty but I need to
do something a little more permenant with them.

or have a quilt made of them and frame that?  Lee

Many people use t-shirts from events to make a quilt.  One of the ladies in
our cycling club had one made last year and it was really nice.

I agree that both Kate & Stormmee have great ideas!  My mom has made several
quilts for a Marathon Runner in California, using all of the t-shirts he's
obtained from all the run's he's done!  I think she's made three king size
reversable quilts now!

Congratulations!

Cool!  It hardly looks like a shirt -- just a big sheet of fabric --
compared to your trim body!
