Do you have 'goal' clothes?

[Moochiecat]

I've shrunk out of all my goal clothes! What ticks me off is that a few things I had, I missed my window of opportunity to wear them, because I tried them on too late, but oh well, I'll deal with the pain..lol

I currently have two items in my closet that I deliberately bought small, and I try those on each week or so.

None for me.

The first thing I replaced, I think, was underwear. I had stretched the others out of porportion, and they were falling off me, so it was definitely a necessity.

Besides, maybe it's just me, but I actually enjoy looking for underwear, now - before it was just a chore.

I have a bunch of clothes in the closet that I could consider my daughter's "goal" clothes - if she would get serious about losing weight. They are mostly size 10's and 8's, plus some tops that are XL or L and now I feel like they just float off me.

I have one skirt that is a size 14, with a matching top, and I haven't banished that to the "give away" pile, yet. I should try it on and see just how much weight I've lost (or at least size-wise).

Great topic-- :yes Well (dont laught) my mom is a total pack rat and still has a pair of my jeans from jr high like 7th grade i thnk and they are still really cute they would be great to get into again, they are a size 7 juniors, and i would love to be able to get into them even if i had to lay on the bed and pull the zipper up w/ a hanger.lol but every time i go to buy new jeans or clothes i always try to get at least 1 size smaller and try it own every 10lbs down, i did that about a month back, and now i am able to ear them a size 17/18 juniors there kinda tight but dont look bad. :wave

I've got a whole closet full of goal clothes, too. I used to weigh 130, and I had to buy jeans about every ten lbs. I gained. So, now what I'm doing is hanging up ONE pair of jeans as motivation for every ten pounds. I try them on every couple of days to see how they fit. I'm already into the first goal pants!! It was great to be able to pull them up a little further each time.. get them up over my butt... be able to button them.. and finally, to wear them in public! This has been WAY more motivating than any tape measure or scale.

I say, you find what works for YOUR motivation and just go with it. I can't wait to get to my ultimate skinny jeans!!

I'm so glad you asked! I happen to have a real weakness for clothes - I couldn't care less what kind of car I drive but I want to be wearing a great outfit when I get out of my heap of a car. Everybody has their thing I suppose. Anyway, I ordered myself a ridiculously expensive bikini (well, it's reversible so it's actually two bathing suits for the price of 1! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.) It's green on one side and chocolate brown on the other. It's a great suit and I plan on wearing it all summer! Fortunately I'm a teacher and will be off all summer but I can assure you I'll have that suit on all the time. People will talk, I'll probably get a reputation and I'm just fine with that.

I started gaining weight after I got married and got a desk job so after 8 years there are some things I had gotten rid of. I did keep quite a few items though....

A pair of short green shorts (denim), some really cool 70's tops in medium size and I recently bought a bikini on Ebay for $5 LOL. Its one of those Tan through suits, brand new. I got it in a size 7 and every month I am going to take my picture in the suit. I'm due for pictures Friday actually. I think it will be neat to compare how far I've come once I get close to goal. Right now I'm a size 12/14 so its a tight fit but I can get it on which is a plus :yikes

I think I may have a problem with this too, when I grow out of the clothes and they get too big. A lot of clothes were given to me as a present by my Mom so a little piece of me would feel bad for getting rid of them. But once I reach goal I don't want to give myself even the slightest chance of going up a size!

[jessicalynn]

i have a lot of little tank tops that i want to fit into and i also have a pair of size four jeans that i want to fit into!!!!!! I also have a new bikini that i wore last year to the beach but with a t-shirt over it so now this year no t-shirt hopefully

yah so i have alot of GOAL CLOTHES
I am currently in a size 6(tight) or a size 7 fits nice depending the brand

Where do I start I have a whole Bin full of skinny clothes. My husband ask me why I just don't give them to good will. And if I do lose the weight he said I can go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. But my ultimate favorite is Leather Pants And a black velvet halter top. It looked so good on me untill the weight came on.

I wouldnt say I have goal clothes just yet, but more like goal ideas.

I want to get into a pair of realllllly tight leather pants - currently I weigh 68.5kgs (I'm 166cms tall) and want to get down to about 63kgs - so right now I would probably look ~OK~ in leather pants - but really hot in 5 kgs time.

Its summer here now and I have been able to look ~OK~ in a bikini, but next summer I hope to be able to buy a string bikini - and not have the strings disappear in my rolls of fat hahahahaha!

Do any of the women here know what the difference is between ladies' and juniors' size jeans? Because I wear a 12 in juniors and a 6-8 in ladies. I don't understand what the difference is. A size 12 ladies falls right off me.

i didnt really have much i wanted to fit into but then one day raided the clothes cupboard and found a pair of jeans thatwere never mine, well they fitted and they r tiny! and then there was a pair of jeans that wouldnt go past my thighs and they fitted, then i tried on a pair of boots that did most of the way up but about this much ----------------------------------------- from the top they wouldnt do up. Now they do up perfect and fit better!

[doeskin]

Well, I HAD mini-goal clothes, but all of them are too big for me now! Boy is THAT a good feeling - jeans that wouldn't get up your thighs falling off you!

Right now I'm at the skinniest I've been since I was a kid, so I don't really have any final-goal clothes. I do have one pair of really cute pants that are one or two sizes too small, and I can't wait until I can wear those out. Also, I have a dress that's a size 7/8 that's still snug (I'm a 8/9/10 right now dep. on the brand) that was always too small. Although it's out of fashion now, I'd like to wear it just 'cause I can.

goal clothes

i went out and bought an outfit one size smaller than me so i have realistic goals instead of buying clothes to much smaller so i dont get depressed from not fitting in them like right now, it makes me do better with just the one size lower.

[carmstrongus]

If you don't already have them, it's a great idea just to buy something one size smaller! It's such a great reward to feel them getting closer and closer to fitting. It keeps me motivated!
