I don't measure anything just weigh in...i have some 32inch waist jeans that i figure if i can get into them and not have anything hanging over I'll have reached my goal.
Anyone else motivated by pants?

I have motivating pants too, I bought myself a pair just too small to keep me motivated so I can get into them because they're way too expensive to let them go to waste.0

I still take measurements but I have this one pair of pre-kid jeans I'd love to fit back into some day! They finally fit over my hips (victory!) but still have a few more inches til they button Definitely great motivation to keep working hard!0

Yep. I am totally motivated by some pants I wore 5 years ago! I try them on to see how many inches I've come and how many I have to go. I am half-way there!0

i have a pair of skinny red jeans that give me INSANE muffin top. great if you work in a bakery. not great when you that's around your waist.
when i fit into those i'll be well chuffed!0 -
My motivation is a NEW pair of jeans!!! When I drop 10 pounds I am going out to buy me a new pair...already have them picked out.....0

Last 20 years in some way is a story of pants. There are 32s left over from college in a trunk. The 33s are still in the closet, but haven't been wearble for a decade. The 34s now fit comfortably. It was when they started to become tight that I started the program. Realistically, when I can wear the 33s for a month, it will be time to buy a couple of 33 suits for work and take the 34s to the tailor. March is the goal.0

I have a pretty expensive double breasted suit that I bought 10-12 years ago. It was a little snug then because I planned to lost weight. Oops!
When I can fit comfortably in that then I will have probably acheived my goal, namely, a flat stomach.0 -
I pay attention to lbs - but my real goal is based on pants.0
-
It is my only motivation! Those damn jeans that I thought were huge, I'd now give my right arm to fit into!0
-
I have unfortunately passed all of my motivating pants. They are all loose in the waist now. I've decided that I am not going to be motivated by clothes until I reach a weight/size where I am ready to maintain.0

I have a drawer full of pants I want to wear again, including my old favorite broken in cargo pants for hiking and camping. I want to be in those this summer.
I AM MOTIVATED BY PANTS!
^ love it. gonna add that to my profile.0 -
Yeah, but more by other people's pants than my own. I look at some women and think, "Dang! I'd like my pants to look like that!!! Squats & lunges, here I come..."
But when I was dropping weight I did have a pair of old "skinny" jeans from a when I was my thinnest, and fitting in them was a big goal/milemarker. I eventually dropped enough weight that they became too big for me and I ended up donating them.0 -
I've kept mine from my days of being at my goal weight, so I figure when I can get into them again, I'll have reached my goal.0

Lately motivated is a weak word for how I am with pants. More like obsessed.
I'm not that much of a girly dress-up girl, but I have all these old jeans I found buried in my closet, and then I bought this pair of 30-30 men's jeans too, and I keep trying all of them on regularly to see which ones fit and how well.
So excited to retire each pair as I get smaller. One down, several to go!
Damn, now I got to go try on the 30s again and see how they fit!0 -
I do have a particular pair of jeans I'd like to get back into. Five more pounds ought to do it.
So....YES! I am motivated by pants! :happy:0 -
I want to be able to wear skinny jeans :ohwell:0

We could be a cult...I mean CLUB....names?..."The Pant People"? anyone?0

Yeah I haven't weighed in yet just been noticing my pants fit better and the ultimate goal is to get into a certain size pants. Pants seem to be the central theme for me so far. Unsure whether I will use a scale since the pay for one at the supermarket i go to is gone. Hesitate to buy one for home use because I'm one of those people who gets on it too much and cries that I didn't lose weight from 2-3 days ago. So my plan was to weigh only on supermarket trips and had my quarters ready and everything but it's gone.:grumble: :sad: :brokenheart:0

Well my hubby likes to sing that song "we can dance if we want to" with the lyrics, "we can dance, we can dance, everybody take off your pants!" so something like that would be nice.
Otherwise "PANTS PATROL" has a nice ring. start a group, I'll join if you invite me.0 -
I have a pair hanging from my closet door right now that I hope to fit in very soon. I suppose they motivate me, not more than other things I suppose, but I do really want to wear these pants!0

My goals started with a pair of swimming trunks i bought 3 years ago that are a size 38. i was a size 42-44 and ended up at a 46 before getting started. I'm on track now and should comfortably be wearing them for summer.0
-
For me its not just one pair of pants, but there's one store that I'd like to be able to shop from. As of right now, they don't even make jeans in my size (by a few sizes). When I can fit into their jeans comfortably I'll have hit a HUGE mile stone.0
-
Yep... a pair of white skinny jeans that fit me 3 months ago!0
-
I'll give it a day and see if anyone has any other ideas too...maybe we could just be the "Motivated by Pants" group...lets see. Either way yall get a invite.0
-
Good idea. I was motivated by an upcoming vacation that cost me too much money and involved a bathing suit.0
-
I have a really old pair of jeans that I'm dying to fit in again. I can almost button them sans-muffin top so, yay!
They're way out of fashion and 10 years old, but I'm wearing them anyway when I can.0 -
Absolutely! I just bought a pair of 28 jeans! My goal is 26! This summer I'm going to wear 26 white skinny jeans!0
-
My once very tight, muffin top falling out pants are now baggy and I need a belt!0

PANTS. YES.
This past summer, I purchased a pair of jeans that I had been lusting after forever. They were on sale and I got them wonderfully cheap, but the largest size the store had in stock in the hue that I wanted is a size smaller than I have been in a number of years. I want to wear these pants SO BAD.
I'm also motivated by a LBD that I also purchased on sale quite some time ago. I can fit into it, but it doesn't look good. My old roommates call this my "hoe dress", so you might imagine that it shows a lot of skin. I can't wait to slip into it without a stray lump or bump and go to a club.0
