    I could care less what the scale says - all I know is that every week I go to my closet and try on my old BCBG jeans.
    Phase 1 of my weight loss was to be able to get my old jeans on my body. That phase is complete (but just barely).
    Phase 2 is to be able to wear them in public. That's my current phase (I think I'm 10 pounds away from that).
    Phase 3 is to look awesome in them, and perhaps buy some new, smaller jeans. That phase has yet to be completed.

    I had two pairs of jeans that I hadn't been able to get into for about 2-3 years. Just three months ago I could barely pull them up over my hips and I was spilling out of them. They fit comfortably now! I was just thinking this morning that I need a smaller pair of goal jeans to keep me motivated.

    Same as above but one pair I couldn't pull up over my hips - I'm wearing them now and thinking that it won't be long till I need smaller ones.:drinker:

    I'm very short through the body and find it hard to find shirts that fit properly, especially when they're tailored. I found one the other day that was too small but tailored and the perfect length through the body. It was only $13 so I picked it up and plan to try it on about once a week. That was the first "not the right size yet" item that I've bought.

    I had size 10 goal jeans from gap. They're now too big and I'm waiting for the cold weather to end so I can give them away cause I have 2 pair of size 8 stretchy jeans that fit perfectly! I also grew out of my size 10-12 dresses and suits and now fit into size 6 perfectly;-)). Also I wore a bikini in public on my vaca for the first time in a long, long time!

    I fit into all of my first round of goal clothes. Except I bought a leather jacket a month ago, it still zips up super tight but not as tight. I'd like to eventually fit more than a thin t-shirt under it, LOL.

    Word of advice though, goal clothes are great and all but DONT buy goal bras. Especially if you are a bit further into the alphabet. You may find you need to go down band sizes but up several cup sizes as you get smaller.

    I have a gorgeous party dress for a Christmas party or other winter event since it is long sleeved and black. Its a size large, but its tight knit type of dress so I will need to be a lot smaller and toned. I can't wait to wear it! The beading on it is gorgeous, and it is my new goal for next Christmas.

    I kept some timeless favorites that are size 0 (Banana Republic leather pants), some jeans 0's & 2's, and some Bebe dresses (they only look good when you're not fat... even skinny-fat). (I'm 5'2" so these sizes are reasonable for my body type & frame)

    If I can fit into these again with some muscle... It's all good.

    Eta: currently a 4 skinny-fat.

    SO many. My black velvet pants size 10. They looked so good on me, back about eight years ago. I have some size 6s and size 8s, but I'm not sure I'm headed that way. I want to be realistic about my changed body post-menopause andbe at a healthy weight that I can maintain. I already made it into the size 14 hiking pants and that was a very big deal...I started out with my size 20s so tight on me that I had to wear a long top over them because the snap wouldn't stay closed.

    I have fitness goal clothes which fit me but I need to look better in. For summer festivals I need to be able to wear short-shorts and bikinis and they're pretty unforgiving so it makes me up my game with exercise!

    i bought a dress from express that wasnt really a goal dress, but i knew once i tightened up my stomach it would look nice. the next time i went to put it on it swallowed me, so i never even got a chance to wear it because i lost too much weight.. i just gave it to my sister for her goal dress.. I thought about doing goal clothes, but after that happened i was like i dont want to waste money again. I didnt expect to drop so many inches...

    I just ordered a bunch of clothes that I knew would be too tight as incentive to get into them by Memorial Day. I was so excited to finally be able to buy cute clothes and I am ready to be able to wear them. This 2 pounds a week is wonderful, just with results like they have on the Biggest Loser were realistic and safe :), but I am getting there, pound by pound!

    Yeah, that one wasn't really on purpose...I just had a bit of a stupid moment hahaha

    I started out having goal clothes but I either slimmed right through the stage where they'd fit or, because I'm exercising this time, I lost weight from certain places and they just didn't hang right.

    I bought 2 dresses last summer and last time I tried them on I'd lost so much weight from my back area that they were all baggy there so I guess I'll never get to wear them.

    I could never have a goal bra unless I bought it in an A cup as my boobs seem to be disappearing fast! :o(

    That said, its good to have something to encourage you and who knows, your bra may fit you perfectly soon :o)

    I'm currently wearing my goal jeans...a little muffin top still, but not too bad :)

    My real goal is to be able to wear them without a big shirt or hoodie, but with a tight shirt!

    They are size 13 l.e.i. and the perfect length for my short legs. They were the smallest pair of jeans I ever bought and loved them, but when I gained back all the weight I lost last year, I moved up to a size 16/18.

    I've tried them on every few weeks since I started the weight loss journey again.

    I've got a set of PJs from Victoria Secret (just comfy-looking, but they're VS) that hubby got me for Christmas in ::sigh:: 2011. I was supposed to lose the weight last year. Didn't really even try. So, that's my first item to fit into. They're XL and I'm hoping by May or June. Shall see.

    Then I've got all the clothes in a box from when I got down to 200 about 5 years ago that should fit again. But most of all, i want to find a really cute mini-skirt and not look atrocious in it.

    My goal/reward is to have a mini shopping spree at Lululemon. I have quite a ways to go but it will be so sweet to look and feel good in those form-fitting, comfy clothes!
