    only clothes that fit in my closet! :) they range from a size 4 to size 8, depending on the brand and style.

    I have sizes from 14-20 currently in my closet. The only 20 is simply being kept as a reminder. I bawled the day that I bought a 20 for the first time. I am currently a very loose 18 and a few failry tight 16s. Hoping to be firmly in a 16 soon!

    I wear a 16(sometimes an 18, depends on the brand) and that is about the only size I have in my closet. I don't have the room to keep something that might fit someday.

    There is a fairly nice resale shop in town, so I can just shop there until I am done losing weight. Then I will have a shopping spree at TJMaxx or Kohls. Actually, I may have a shopping spree at the thrift store(except for lingerie), since they have lots more to choose from if you wear size 2-10. I am not sure what size I will be when I am done. I don't think my body type can get any smaller than an 8, I think mabye even a 10 will be the most realistic goal.

    I have one pair of jeans that that are slightly too tight. I wore them the other day because they didn't feel as tight as before, and my husband likes them. But my tummy hurt at the end of the day. So I will wait a bit before I wear those again. I bought a shirt that I thought would fit(a the thrift store) but it was too small. I think I will hold on too that until I can fit it.

    Once I start dropping sizes, even if it is just one size, out they go, unless they are easy to take in. On Clean House, I beleive they said never keep more than one or two sizes up, or down. So I should not have any size 20s(I never got that big) or size 12s in the closet because I am a 16. Of course I would keep that to one size up or down, because that is still too many sizes in my opinion.

    I also look at it this way. I will not hold onto something I can bless someone else with. God will provide.

    I finally got rid of my size 2-8's last year now that leaves me with 9-14's; I would love to get back to a 6 but I'll definitely be happy with anything out of double digits :)

    I have 16's, which I am currently in and some 14's.

    Some time last year, I did away with all of my size 5 and up clothes. Just too depressing! Anyway, I figure as I keep going down, I deserve new clothes for my hard work. :bigsmile:

    I have a good supply of 12s and mediums that I hadn't worn in a decade. They fit well now. Also a couple of pairs of like-new condition size 10 jeans from... I don't know when. Back in the early Reagan era sometime? They don't look like they've ever been worn, so I must have acquired them in a moment of optimism as I crossed the line into 12s. I haven't worn anything smaller than a 10 since before puberty. The 14s, my largest ever, are still in house, but the only time I wear them now is to work with my roses. I'd rather wear baggy belted 14s out there than rip up my 12s.

    Right now 3 sizes in the closet. Some 14s that are baggy (I think these are about to go to the garage sale box), 12s that I wear most of the time and a pair of 10s I just got and 2 pair of what my husband calls my I Have A Dream jeans :-) size 8 and size 6 which is my ultimate goal. I did also keep a pair of my size 16s just so on the days I feel discouraged I can remind my self how much progress I've made.

    That's hilarious!! I love it!

    I have size 6 to 16 right now. When the 16s started getting snug, it was time to stop the madness. When I get back into my 10/12s I'll be so happy!

    Too funny! I have mostly sizes 8-12 in my closet, and I'm currently a 10. I do have a couple of skirts and a little black dress in size 4 from WAY back. It's pretty pathetic really, since they are from when my son was a toddler and he's now in college! Even if it ever fit me again, I doubt I'd even wear the LBD as it's really short and I've become a bit of a prude in my old age :wink: but I still won't get rid of it.

    Glad to see I'm not alone!

    Well, my pants are split between two closets. At school, I have size 4 and 5. At home, I keep my 6s and 8s. They are huge on me so I only wear them when I go home on the weekend. I haven't had the time to make a big shopping trip and replace my pants yet, so I only have four pairs of pants that actually fit me. Luckily, some of my pants have an adjustable waistband so I don't have to waste too much money.

    I have one pair of size 16 jeans and a shirt that I kept just as my reminder to never go back. That aside, I purged all of my clothes as I shrunk...thrift stores and Walmart were a wonderful thing to get smaller clothes. Now I have (a few) 2s, 4s, XS and S tops hanging in my closet. I do have 2 pairs of size 6 jeans that I hope to not need, but kept just in case! Once I stayed within the same weight/ size range for a year, I grew a fetish for Black House White Market and bought several pieces from there. I find it VERY encouraging to have more expensive clothing as I DO NOT want to grow out of them! If what I have starts to get snug, I know it is time to get back on MFP, log my food, try to get in some work outs...so far it has worked!

    My smallest is a pair of UK size 10 jeans. I will never wear them again because they're really worn but I just want them to fit again.
    My biggest is a 50's inspired dress, unfortunately with 50's sizes!! So by todays standards its about an 18, but the label says 22!
    My biggest in "real" sizes is a pair of size 20 jeans. Too big even when I bought them though.
    I wear a 14-18 depending on shop, style and what part of my body it's for!!

    2 pants sizes in the closet, 4 in bags headed for Goodwill. Haven't bagged the button up shirts yet, planning on wearing them over tank tops this spring. 3 sizes of buttonless shirts and sweaters in the bags too. After the next size drop I will have to go shopping, I will be in unexplored territory!

    Just UK 10 and 12. I give away all the clothes that don't fit me. I think I have some post baby size 14 jeans in the attic.

    If you count my wedding dress (a 12), then 3 sizes. The size 6 I'm currently in, the 8s I most recently left behind, and my wedding dress.

    There's not a lot in my closet, actually....I assume the rack of exercise clothing isn't what you were talking about (since those are sorted by "too grubby for public, too loose for yoga, and yoga appropriate" rather than size.) And I have some sweaters that I maintain still fit the size 6 me at least as well as they fit the size 16 me.

    Haha, I have sizes from 14-20 in my closet.. I'm currently fitting my 16s again, but can't wait to make it to 14 (and below!) I don't have any single-digit clothes because I've been overweight since middle school (yikes!). I'm hoping to change that though, and end up at an 8-10 and not have to worry about a plus size section when I go shopping with my friends!

    Once I get into a 14, I'm thinking of throwing out all of my 18-20s jeans. Or I might keep the sloppiest pair of 20s I own as a reminder to not go back there, I'm not sure yet.

    I mostly have 16-24. The smaller stuff is not even necessarily anything I'll want to wear again, just stuff I'll use to see if I fit those sizes again. The 24s are too big, but some of the shirts look OK too big. Right now I'm between 20 and 22.


    I'm with you there sweetie... 16's on up to 2 XL for me. I have kept my fav stuff and I've decided I'm doing Goodwill or Flea Markets to find what I need until I get to the right size for my frame. I have NO IDEA what that is, it has been soooo long!! LOL

    this is a very interesting post! I thought I was the only one with wide ranges of sizes! For my pants I have everything from 4's-10's, 4's being things like jeans from american eagle which stretch and are pretty tight, and 10's being things I bought when I was a size 8 and bought becasue they were on sale and looked fine with a belt. Cant wait until I can fit into the 4's easily!
