    Loads of them, all the way down to a UK 10.

    Yes, I am a clothes hoarder. They are packed away according to size in zipped up linen bags which are stacked on shelves in a large built in cupboard.

    Each time I unzip a new bag with a smaller size on the label, it's going to feel like my birthday!

    I still have my prom dress from 20ish years ago. Want to fit in that bad boy hips-wise even if the top doesn't close. If I do, I promise to tease my hair and post a pic here in all my Dynasty glory. It is a size 10, and I just sorta kinda slipped back into some 12s, so it should be doable sometime next year!

    Yes, when I went to a health farm the trainer told me to hang a dress I wanted to look good in, on the wardrobe door and look at it every day to remind me of my goal. I have a very little black dress- and I stopped hanging it on the door and forgot my goal. THANK YOU for reminding me, I'm going to dig out the dress at once and keep trying it on until it looks nice.

    Ooh, good idea--I have just the spot for my green bedazzled monstrosity in my closet!!! :drinker:

    Not that long ago, I saw a really cute bra at Victoria's Secret. At their store, I'm a 42DD. This bra was super cute, it was a bit of a push up but not too padded, etc. I was in a rush so I just found a 38DD and thought I'd use some extenders to make it fit (it's sad I have to use them,, I know :sad:) Anyway, so I got home and realized the damn bra is a front close :grumble:

    Now, it's turned into a "goal bra". I want to be able to fit into that soon, rather than the 42+extenders. I'm not there yet, I've only lost 6 pounds, but I have had to tighten the straps and very soon I'll have to hook it to the next tighter set :drinker:

    Does anyone else have any goal clothes they want to fit in to, whether it's for your long-term goal or something you want to wear along the way? What is it?
    :
    Let me you tell something That is GREAT . I got one dress that My mom told me 'Did u buy for whom ?" ::noway: will fit you .

    Now i can fit into very well . Good luck with your Bra .

    I'm planning on hunting around the last bits of sales to buy a couple of thinsperational clothes, something in size 16, 14 and 12 so I have something for each goal.

    Very realistic. I have a similar situation: a halter summer dress, size 12; sweater skirt outfit, size 8. Go us!

    Over Thanksgiving I dropped from jeans 34x30 to 32x30. I am aiming to be at 135lbs in a couple of months, at which time I should be 30x30.

    Oh heck yeah! :)

    I have an entire wardrobe of size 10s/8s I want to fit back into, designer knee high boots that I can't zip up my calves just yet, and a drawer full of bikinis and swimsuits I want to rock by next Summer.

    Sure, I want to drop the pounds but I am most focused and excited about strengthening and tightening up. ;-)

    Not a exactly a goal "clothes" but a goal "sneakers". I really like to add a wedge sneakers in my wardrobe, so luckily I was able to score a nice wedge sneaker before Thanksgiving. And it's coming in the mail today, my goal is to fit and look good on those sneakers by spring/summer! :)

    I have a goal-coat -- my mother's old air force jacket, which has my maiden name on it. I can zip it up now, but it's not a comfortable fit. That's still better than last time I wore it, when I couldn't even get it to pretend to zip.

    I also tend to buy at least one pair of pants in a smaller size when I get new ones; I try them on constantly until they fit, lol.

    I have a pair of jeans that I bought a year and a half ago that used to fit much better. Right now, they fit well around my butt and thighs, but WHOA muffin top. They are a two or three sizes bigger than what I want to eventually be at, but it's a start. They are already fitting better than they did a few weeks ago. Then, I couldn't even button them but I can now.

    However, like I saw another poster say in another thread, feeling and seeing my current clothes become baggy is a much bigger motivator than having too small clothes that I try on or look at all the time. That actually discourages me when I do that. I plan to go shopping for some new, cute underwear and outfits when I reach my mini goal.

    I bought a fitted hoodie without trying it on a few weeks before I decided to lose weight. I loved the colour and pattern but it was extremely snug and not really wearable when I actually tried it on. Instead of returning it I kept it as inspiration for my weightloss. Every week I try it on again after my weigh-in and it's extremely satisfying to see it getting looser and fitting better as I lose more weight. It still doesn't fit perfectly but it's a good indicator of the fact my body is changing shape, even if it's taking me a while to see it.

    Prom is April. I want to fit into an awesome dress. Last prom was what got me to realize that I needed a change. Down 24 pounds, and 20 to go... Ugh... Slowing down though.. Hard to keep motivation sometimes... But, I try to remember what I'm doing this for. Myself, and awesome clothes. I have a good sense of style, but I dress horribly because I hate showing my body; so uncomfortable. Also, when I graduate, I would love to have a cute graduation dress. ♥ I know I can do this... I better be able to..

    I have a couple of "goal clothes" items but mine came from Goodwill. :-P I, too, have waited too long to wear something that I thought was waaaaaaayyyyyyy too small. Now I try on things every couple of weeks. Like another poster said, I'm not sure how small I want be because of age and the accompanying loss of skin elasticity so I get things a size or two smaller than where I am. I am now shopping in the misses section!

    I have a whole BOX of pants patiently waiting for me to lose weight. That is my first goal...moving from a size 14 to 12. Need all the motivation and accountability I can get!

    I don't actually own any, but I'd like to be a size 4 pants size. Size 6 dress (my current size) is probably the smallest I can go due to the size of my ribcage, but my hips are small, so I think a 4 is possible in jeans.

    Also I'd like to be able to pull off that baggy sweater thing that's so popular without just looking fat. :)

    I have a closet full of my pre fat days in all sizes … all the way down to a 6 !! I love going in there and trying on some of the tighter ones and get motivated to make them comfortable enough to fit comfy. Its like shopping in my own personal store because everything thats in there I just loved and could not part from them.

    I have dropped from a size 24 to a 16 and have not had to buy any new clothes yet :) Now I clean out the larger sizes as I get out of them . I don`t ever want to go there again! and this will make more room to start buying new items.

    When I was 19-20 years old I won a bikini contest. I still have that bikini (twenty years later) and I want to rock it again. :blushing:

    I just bought a bunch of size small clothes on Black Friday. They fit, so my goal is to make sure it stays that way! (I never bought any goal clothes in advance, but I have enjoyed fitting into smaller and smaller things already in my closet from thinner days as I've progressed.)
