Who has something physical like a piece of clothing, not just a date in the future or something but an actual bikini, dress, pair of pants etc that you can keep trying on and see the progress?
What is yours? Doesn't have to be clothes though! Just looking for some ideas here

    Any of my sister's clothes! She's naturally small, and the day that I call her up and ask to borrow a dress will be the happiest of my life.

    I have a pair of jeans hanging on my wall, right next to my calendar in my bedroom. They're one size down from my current jeans, a large size 6 skinny jean, and I look at them every day! :)

    I have a dress that I brought back to school with me to wear this coming Friday. When i brought it I couldn't zip it up. Last week I tried it on and it fit perfect. Major motivation to get there and to keep working. Next is my bikini!

    I have a pair of pants that I used to wear about 10 years ago. January 1st of this year I had about 5" between the button and the loop. As of last Thursday, I can actually button them closed! Of course, I can barely breathe and have a huge "muffin top", but at least now I can get them buttoned and zipped close! Once they actually fit - no matter my weight - I'll know that I've achieved my goal and it's time to maintain. Although I highly doubt I'll ever feel like I've hit "maintenance" phase...then I'll probably push for some other goal....

    I had two pair of pants. I would try on to see where I was. It has felt great as they have gotten big! Also though when I was a kid I was anorexic and I do not want to go there again so on my fridge is me at my heaviest when my thyroid shut down due to my ED and other issues, me looking like a bag of bones in skin, me when I was healthy and weighed the best and finally a goal picture of a woman with kick *kitten* abs! I look at that as reminders for me and motivation to keep going and remember if I have opened the fridge out of boredom STOP THINK and then decide if I really need something in there.

    I have a size 8 pair of jeans in my closet. I try them on every time I drop another 2lbs. They button now, but are still not comfortable to wear. LOL

    I also have some size 6 shorts I'd like to wear this summer. Have a bit to go for those!

    I have a corset dress that my boyfriend and I selected at Anime Boston this past weekend. It's quite a lot smaller than I am, so my goal is to fit into that by the time we go to our next convention together.

    I want to be able to wear a bikini without the side tie or band cutting into my hip fat, instead of a tankini or one piece to hide my middle.

    At first, it was a designer black dress. Now, it's a bikini (almost there).

    Clothing that I haven't worn for 2 or 3 years. Such a motivation every time I fit into a pair of capris or dress! A whole new wardrobe that cost nothing! Woohoo!

    That's a great idea actually (having a piece of clothing you want to get into). I just look at the "pins" people find on Pinterest daily for motivation. I see the bodies I want to become and that keeps me focused. :)

    Three dresses, each a step down from the other. Two sundresses and one cocktail dress... I can't wait to put them on...
