Ht. 5'7", Start: 215 lb, Today: 210 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - Hey guys. I have found some really great clothes at H&M, you should try going there. It's nice to be able to go to a regular store to get clothes and not have to go to a special plus sized store

I always buy the darker skinny jeans. I found out that I look terrible in clothes like boot cut jeans that have no cling, and have one staight line. I like wearing boots over my jeans to make my thighs look more normal. If you want to get rid of dimpling, just wear tights or leggins under your jeans! Now for most over weight wemon (like me) we have hour glass figures, so I think the perfect out fit for us is a simple skinny Jean or Capri pants with a black or dark undershirt/ tanktop covered by a Kisheme cardigan! It really compliments curves. Also, I always wear a necklace, they distract from the stomach.

Store, I think drawing a picture of your outfit that is tight because of being overweight or obese that might encourge you girls and boys, young men and young women. To lose weihgt. Image wearing that outfit and being a healthy weight, and saying to yourselfs I am happy to be healthy and finding clothes.. Dont give up guys ,, keep trying..

you should start maybe sewing some of your own clothes so that way you can have clothes that r in fashion but they still fit you. I found some nice wool caprie pants at areopostal. they had some that were my size so you might look for clothes there :D

Try maternity clothing stores- they have some really nice stuff!

Get your bra fitted by a proffesional who can help you in a bra shop. As weird as it sounds try looking in maternity shops- I found some really great, nice fitting clothes there! Even stranger, but what is actually quite fashionable, is shopping in mens clothes stores. Generally their sizes are bigger and you can always dress manly clothes up to look more feminnine. If anyone asks what your doing in those shops just say your buying stuff for your boyfriend's birthday or a present for your newly pegnant aunty of something like that. :)

Skinny jeans don't flatter anyones thighs. Try normal jeans. Target and Jay- Jays have cheap ones. :)

I also don't wear tight clothes but don't wear baggy clothes either coz they make you look even bigger. Try wearing loose clothes but layering them with nice belts and accesories- it really helps!

Try opp shops- you can find really nice cheap stuff there, plus everything goes to charity! Jay- Jays and Target are also good for inexpensive clothing.

Never wear leggings or skinny jeans, they make your legs look massive. Try flowing sundresses/ maxi dresses, their great and really fashionable.
