    You look amazing in your red dress! Congratulations!
    As for me, I've been many different sizes in the last 20 years. I've always believed I would slim down "soon" so I never made a big investment in clothes. Earlier today, I got a box of clothes down from the loft that said "winter 2012." Unfortunately, most of them look pretty worn, but there are a few that fit again! Once I reach my goal, I'm going to have fun shopping!

    I have a pair of jeans that I want to get back into, I keep trying them on and can see a difference every time but for them just to slide on and fasten I seriously cannot wait for that day!! I also have a lovely sequinned party dress that fits but I want it to look better so that is another goal I'm aiming for over Christmas x

    I'm looking forward to wearing the clothes that aren't in my closet. I'm down 30 pounds and can wear everything that is there. (I got rid of the too small stuff years ago). My "regular fitting clothes" are now pretty loose, the clothes that were too tight are now fitting comfortably. It's nice to know I can choose anything now and it will fit. I have 40 more pounds to go so know I will need be getting new clothes eventually. I am getting ready to give away some of the really loose clothes.

    I just recently fit into a beautiful soft, White Faux fur like, past bum length dressy winter coat. It's quite glamorous and I love it. People keep asking if I bought a new coat and I'm like nope it's 5 years old and I only wore it one season (Then I got fat). I had the coat when Hubs and I got married. My next goal is a pair of jeans from American Eagle that I stole from him that I wore when we first started dating. Then When I lose more, I may give it back lol.

    Just this morning I put on a pair of pants that I haven't been able to button up in a year and they are loose! I was dancing around in my kitchen, wondering who I could share that with that would actually care and along comes this beautifully timed post. Woot!

    As an adult I have never been the size I am now, not even close, so I don't have any of those "I used to fit into this" skinny clothes in my wardrobe. If I did, they would be horribly out of date from the 80's when I was entering middle school...haha

    I do get a huge thrill out of shopping now, though. I am a big thrift store fan and I used to just shop the plus size rack so now I feel excited about having almost the entire store to choose from. Instead of gleaning through a rack of plus size tops, I quickly scan over whole racks of juniors & misses just looking for fabric, colors, and patterns that strike my fancy. It's pretty cool when about 70% of the time it's either a M or L and I can wear it now.

    THIS. I have tons of too small clothes in my closet, some are very nice dress pants and tops for work. I have already dropped to a size 12 from an 18/16...I can't wait to get into my 10s, and 8s, and even 6s!!

    As I type this I am wearing a shirt I haven't been able to previously fit into for about 3 years. I have other clothes that I don't yet fit into, one of them a t-shirt that's about 12 odd years since I last wore it - but I am very close to looking 12 years out of fashion and I can't wait!

    Congrats!

    I have a pair of jeans I nearly gave away because I thought I'd never fit into them again. They are now getting too loose. I'm waiting until I get a couple of more pounds down before I start looking for a new pair.

    It's always fun to shop in your own closet!

    ^^Our profile pictures look eerily similar lol!!

    And OP: You look amazing! I am looking forward to fitting into the pair of jeans that's been in my closet for a few years that I have never been able to wear.

    One more thing. Try on your too small clothes somewhat often. I have a few things that went straight from too small to too big without ever actually wearing them because I forgot that they were even hanging in the closet.

    This happened to me! I was a bit sad, haha.

    I love the red dress, OP! Beautiful. I have quite a few things I would like to fit into. One is a Cashmere sweater w/belt that I got from my cousin before she THREW IT OUT. I've got another 50lbs to go before I can probably fit into it.....but it's so cute~! XD And I have a few jeans from high school I would like to fit into again. That was from 11-12 years ago. >.<

    A little black dress that I wore to my sisters wedding right when I found out I was pregnant. That was only 10 pounds ago so I'm getting there! Can't wait to fit into it again :)
