SSU 2013 Giveaway: Stitch Fix- ENDED

_____________________________________________________________________________________

When I first started my weight loss journey, I quickly realized that it was not worth it to spend money on clothes during that time. I’d go buy an outfit for work, and it would be too big before I could wear it. It may seem like a “problem that’s not really a problem,” but clothes can be costly, and it’s a waste if you don’t get to wear them. I halted the clothing purchases since I knew my size would be temporary until I reached a healthier weight. Since then, I’ve always told my training clients to minimize clothing expenses while we’re working together, and instead to use a clothes shopping spree as an awesome reward when they hit their goal.

Many of you will hit new fitness goals with the Summer Shape Up. Even if the scale doesn’t budge -muscle is more dense than fat, so you could technically weigh the same and have a lower body fat percentage- your clothes could fit you differently. Maybe you just hit a fitness goal and want to celebrate, or could use a bit of a closet overhaul.

I’d like to share my Stitch Fix credit with a few lucky winners as the first Shape Up giveaway.

Stitchfix

I have a credit with Stitch Fix from referring people to the brand over the past 6 months or so. At first, I thought it would be cool to get a discount on what I purchase from them since I love my monthly Stitch Fix box, and the credit continued to grow. I was trying to think of a good way to use it and quickly thought of the perfect solution: give back to YOU, since you’re the reason why I have a credit with them in the first place.

I emailed Stitch Fix to see if it would be possible to do a giveaway and they more than happy to help me set it up.

Today’s giveaway is $3500 of Stitch Fix credit: $500 each to seven lucky winners. That’s a lot of new clothes!

    I’ve been feeling very uninspired by my clothes lately. I’ve always struggled to maintain my weight, and between grad school and job search-induced stress, i’ve put on about 10 pounds since the fall. Getting dressed everyday is a huge production, because while I like my clothes, I don’t like them on my current body. Now that grad school has calmed down and is almost over (YAY!), I have more time to devote to eating healthy and working out, but I know it’s a slow and steady process. I would LOVE to have some extra spending money to grab some pieces that I feel comfortable in.

    What a generous giveaway! I’ve gone down 2 sizes in the last year and hoping to continue!…while on a budget new clothes aren’t a priority. It would be such a nice reward!

  4. Anu on June 5, 2013 at 12:32 pm

    I would love to win this because I’m transitioning to a more mature wardrobe. I have a lot of the same type of clothes and need more of the classic staples!

  5. Rebekah on June 5, 2013 at 12:41 pm

    I have a three month old baby boy and would love to revamp my closet once I am back to my goal weight!

  6. Amanda F. on June 5, 2013 at 1:19 pm

    I would love to try stitchfix, but I’ve been too nervous about it to make the investment (silly, I know). I’m very opinionated with clothing so that’s inhibited me from trying something new – even though it could potentially be a goldmine!

  7. Alex on June 5, 2013 at 1:30 pm

    I’d love to win because I’m always looking for ways to freshen up my wardrobe

  8. Holly Wert on June 5, 2013 at 2:13 pm

    just had a baby so need new clothes and extra motivation to lose the baby weight

    I didn’t realize how out of shape I was! The ssu comes at the perfect time- the first workout left me hurting everywhere.

  12. Natalie Rae on June 5, 2013 at 3:16 pm

    I didn’t realize how out of shape I was! The ssu comes at the perfect time- the first workout left me hurting everywhere. Feeling my legs the next day was good and bad.

  13. Eileen on June 5, 2013 at 3:26 pm

    I have been in a clothing rut for the past few years where I was just buying basics and nothing really stylish (everything was black or gray). Recently I have been adding color to my wardrobe for everyday wear and yoga wear (hot pink yoga capris). I think this giveaway would help me add to my slowly growing wardrobe.

  14. Jamie on June 5, 2013 at 4:40 pm

    This is so generous! Thank you so much for these awesome giveaways. I’m in a clothing rut; several things have contributed to to it, and one of those is acceptance of my body as it is (which is a good thing :))! But that acceptance means some “skinny clothes” just don’t fit right anymore (those skinny clothes were for a me that was too thin – I’m healthier and stronger now). Another problem is that I live in a country where the women are built completely differently than me, so clothes – especially pants and jeans – do not fit right, unless I’m willing to spend extra money on clothes imported from the US.

  15. Cara on June 5, 2013 at 5:09 pm

    What a great giveaway! I’m an artist, so ALL of my clothes have paint splotches on them no matter how careful I am. I’d love some new (non painted) clothes for date nights with my man. Thanks Gina!

    i would love to win because i lost a bunch of weight a year ago and still haven’t fully replenished my wardrobe because i really can’t stand spending money on clothes. i’m cheap!

  19. Amanda on June 5, 2013 at 7:04 pm

    I got a gym membership a few months ago and have worked my tail off to get back into shape and make better lifestyle choices. I feel better, but now I look frumpy because my clothes are getting too big. I am a mom to a two year old and I don’t have a ton of money to buy a whole new wardrobe that fits me right. This would be a great way to get some clothes that flatter me. Fingers crossed.

    What a kind thing to share your credit with your readers. Now I’m inspired to “Pay it Forward” myself ๐Ÿ™‚

  20. jacque a. on June 5, 2013 at 7:13 pm

    you are awesome! I have been dying to try Stitch Fix and just haven’t gotten around to it ๐Ÿ™‚

  22. Wendy B. on June 5, 2013 at 8:05 pm

    I would love to win because I just lost some weight and need some new clothes that fit me better and are so dated.

  23. Lynn @ The Photographer's Wife on June 5, 2013 at 8:43 pm

    I need a new wardrobe since having a baby and starting a new job…a year ago! YIKES!

  24. Jamie on June 5, 2013 at 9:46 pm

    Could use some quality staple clothing in my closet. Plus I’m always looking for cute and fashionable clothing I can use in my work wardrobe!

  25. Sarah L on June 5, 2013 at 9:53 pm

    I would love to win the Stitch Fix giveaway. I don’t really have a good sense of my own style and it has gotten much worse since having a baby. I basically wear the same thing every day and could use a way to mix up my wardrobe.

  26. rose on June 5, 2013 at 10:28 pm

    I would love to win-I never win anything, so that would just be fun! Also, I am just not very stylish, and would love some help in that arena.

  27. Corissa B on June 5, 2013 at 10:57 pm

    I just heard about Stitch Fix and a google search brought me to your blog. So glad I bumped into it because I just signed up for your newsletter and can’t wait to learn more about your Summer Shape Up program. Thanks for offering this giveaway. I am a busy stay-at-home mom with no time to shop and with no sense of style. Excited to see what the stylist would pick and hope your SSU will give me the confidence to pull it off.

  28. Sarah BETH on June 5, 2013 at 11:39 pm

    I want to win so that I can get my bootay to the gym and feel inspired at the same time ๐Ÿ™‚ It is truly the little things, like hot pink shoes, that get me going!

  29. Sonya on June 5, 2013 at 11:41 pm

    I would love to win because I am a grad student strapped for cash and it would be amazing to have a new wardrobe reward to work towards!! Love it! Thanks for sharing with your peeps ๐Ÿ™‚

  30. liz @ sweat-happy.com on June 6, 2013 at 12:27 am

    I want to win because I haven’t gotten new clothes for myself in well over a year (other than gym clothes which were necessary because I work at a gym)!

  31. Megan on June 6, 2013 at 7:50 am

    I would love to win this. With two little ones, it’s hard to find time to go shopping.

  32. haley on June 6, 2013 at 8:41 am

    I am loving your Summer Shape Up. I appreciate a workout that I can do at home. I always do best in a class/instructor setting but can’t afford a gym membership right now. Your youtube videos and weekly workouts are a fabulous alternative! Thank you for helping me stay motivated ๐Ÿ™‚

  50. Maeve on June 6, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    I’d love to win an opportunity to revamp my wardrobe. I just moved back to NYC from India, and have quickly realized i have NOTHING appropriate for any occasion. (except glittery Indian weddings, I’ve got them covered!)
