    I have a pair of old pink ice jeans that I very much want to fit into again, that would be a goal completed when I get there (they are size 7...)

    When I had to buy 44s, I decided it was TIME.
    Wore them once before giving them to the Salvation Army.
    I'm wearing 36s today and have two pair of 35s.
    I put on my 'big' belt the other day, just to see ....
    The end of it goes past the side seam, almost even with my hip pocket!

    I had a pair of really cool light weight green pants my aunt gave me years ago that I kept around just because I thought they were so pretty and hip. I couldn't even get them over my hips. I would take them out once in a while and hang them on a chair near the fridge, but still never stopped me from eating too much. Joined MFP last Jan. Lost 60 lbs by Aug and the pants are now huge on me. Was pretty sad when I had to give them away. But was fun to fit into them for a month or so.

    Gotta tell this pants story:
    Last spring, my wife asked me to help her pot some plants.
    I put on my crappy shorts so my new ones wouldn't get soiled.
    Yeah, these yard-work shorts were baggy, but they'd be suitable for the task at hand.
    I filled a large pot with potting soil and carried it from the patio to where my wife was working.
    Didn't quite make the whole trip.
    I'd walked about halfway when I felt my waistband sliding lower and lower with each step.
    After about three more steps, it was "pants on the ground."
    Yes, we have a privacy fence, thank goodness.

    Um yes :)!

    When I staretd MFP I had a pair of size M yoga pants that were my "goal" pants! I started out at a 18/16 pant sizes and to date I have a pile of jeans ranging from size 22-18-16-14-12 lol... I am currently eye balling a size 8 at the store and skipping the 10s since They are already to loose on the legs... So yes! pants motivate me in a lot of different ways. If I am having a bad day and feeling down about not losing any weight I pull out my starting pants (size 22) and that shuts me up :)!

    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'm motivated by pants! My waist is 10 inches larger than yours, so I have a while before I can wear normal people pants. :laugh:

    There is now a group "Motivated by Pants"...i have no idea what i'm doing starting a group so anyone know something about groups want to help let me know.

    I tried to invite a mess of people, don't know if it worked...otherwise just go join...mebbe post a picture of your "dream pants".


    Also...i will make a logo with blue jeans instead of yoga pants if that makes more sense to one other person.

    Jeans? I love jeans! I have purple skinny jeans, red skinny jeans and regular skinny jeans. I love my jeans. They range in size 14 to 12 with the 12 being a little tight and the 14 are too big and fall down even with a belt on. My problem is that I have no butt to fill out the jeans. Gonna buy some booty underwear, that should fix that problem. I really want a nice pair of white jeans but am waiting a few months for those.

    Absolutely motivated by pants. I have a pair I call my "benchmark jeans". They have not a breath of Lycra or spandex or anything that gives them the trendy stretch that (imo) completely contributed to the average woman's weight gain. When my benchmark jeans don't fit, my other jeans and pants with stretch STILL FIT! Which is why these non-stretch jeans are my greatest indicator that I need to step up my game with exercise or start cutting out extra calories (or both like I am now) to make sure my benchmark jeans continue to fit.

    Yes, I'm aware of my weight, and I do take my measurements on occasion, but the benchmark jeans...are the biggest motivator. I will cry when I've worn them out, because I cannot find trendy non-stretch jeans anywhere. :(

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

    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.

    Me too!

    I am celebrating my goal weight with a pair of custom jeans! They are expensive but when I reach my goal weight they will be AWESOME and be even more motivation to stay that size!

    I think I actually have inverse pants motivation. I finally shrank out of my largest pair of pants and hung them up on the wall next to my motivation board. That way I can see "where I came from" and "where I'm going".

    Just remember, the Surgeon General recommends you wear your pants at least three times a day!
