Do/would you wear second hand clothes?

rowanflower0 I was a large size 18/20 and a friend had lost over 3 stone following the Keto diet and found it easy. I lost 6lbs the first week , but found eating low carb much easier to stick to. I lost between 1 and 2lbs a week, but have stalled because I returned to my old way of eating. I am an apple shape and losing my fat, wobbly tummy has been an incentive. I also follow Lucy Wyndham-Read 's 7 minutes a day exercise video. Even I can do that most days.

MerylStreep that depends on you being compatible sizes and shapes. Our family swaps furniture, but not clothes because I am 5ft 2in and size 10/12, DD 5.4 and size 20 DDiL, 6ft, size 14, DGD 5.6 and size 10, DGD and I are the nearest in size, but she is 14 and I am 77, and our taste in clothes is not that different, bit different enough.

Monica I've always imagined you as tall.
You have a tall personality.

Thank you! I was 5ft 4.5inches but like all of us I have shrunk in recent years

M0nica I am the opposite - at 5'9" the tallest female in our extended family apart from my youngest niece, who is 5' 10". I've been size 10/12 for most of my life, when most of our females were 14 and above. Now I'm 14/16 and some of them are smaller and a few are bigger. Weirdly I've always had the smallest feet (38) and even my young nieces and daughters couldn't steal my shoes.

I did share clothes with friends when I was younger (on holiday it would be 'first up, best dressed') but haven't for a long time.

Shoes! My younger sister had tiny feet, size 4.5. She was rather proud of her tiny feet and used to wear the most beautiful and expensive shoes. After she died, my youngest sister, my mother and I stood in her bedroom, with all her beautiful shoes spread before us, we all wanted them so badly, they were so beautiful - then we put them all in a bag to go to charity, because even our mother had feet to big to fit into any of them.
