    For me it was a pair of size 9 US juniors jeans that had been my favorite pair before I gained weight. I was able to fit into them again, but only for a short time (seriously like a month comfortably before I needed a belt). They ended up being too big in the end and I had to get rid of them. It was definitely good motivation when I was heavier. I now have 2 cute dresses (one with cut outs in the back) that I would have dreamed would actually look good on me before and a bikini that I bought from amazon (profile pic) in a small (something I never thought would have been possible).

    My birthday dress from 2014. I can fit into it now but I feel like a stuffed sausage. 15-20 lbs ago it fit great; and that is what I am working on!

    I bought a dress on clearance the last time I lost a significant amount of weight (and then regained it in the blink of an eye!)

    It was a fairly fancy dress and because I regained the weight so quickly, I never had a chance to wear it. It’s still hanging in my closet with the tags on! I bought it at least 5 years ago and despite many closet cleanouts since then, I just couldn’t give it away.

    We are cruising in October and I’m really hoping that dress fits by then! I can’t even zip it up now, so there’s still lots of progress to be made!

    Wonder if I can make time to get into summer clothes this weekend and find something like that. I feel "meh" towards what I have. I'm actually wearing pants today I really like and was sad when they got too big. Darn fluctuations.

    I just bought a bathing suit. I can get it on but it is quite snug. I am have high hopes that it will fit the way it should by summer. I have never bought an item of clothing that was to small before.

    All I want is for my jeans to fit the same whether I'm standing or sitting.

    In April 2008, one of my best friends was married in the Dominican Republic. All of the bridesmaids wore strapless, over-priced sundresses. Mine has not fit since summer 2008.

    This past December my family booked a reunion-type trip to the Dominican Republic for this past April.

    By some odd twist of fate, I still had that dress and even though I'll never wear it again (color, style) I swore it would fit me by the time I left for the Dominican Republic.

    It did. In fact, it fit better than when I wore it for the wedding. But I still didn't wear it. I bought myself some sexy new dresses instead.

    Pretty much all of my clothes. The one I'm wearing in my profile pic doesn't fit anymore and I'd love to wear it. It was pretty cute when I was 180 lbs last year. I'm now at 207, after losing 5 lbs since I started here 2 1/2 weeks ago.

    I bought an adorable pair of jeans online with matching corset...so frackin cute...a couple sizes smaller than I was at the time but I figured I could make them a goal and lose into them...then they arrived a size smaller than advertised...this was 6 years ago...I have lost enough to get them over my hips...not enough to get them buttoned or zipped YET, but that day is coming!!!

    In 2010 I bought a dress that I fell in love with for a formal University event. Last summer I was invited to a "Gala" event and I thought that the dress would be perfect if by *any* chance it would still fit.... and it didn't. Like, at all. So... Yeah, one day I will wear that dress again!

    I had a beautiful yellow trench coat with buttons all of the way down the back. I ordered it online and it was super expensive. When it came it was just the tiniest bit too small. I told myself I was just going to lose the couple of pounds to fit into it....I gained another 30 instead. When I lost the weight by the time it was the season to wear it it was way too big. Such a happy but bitter day when I realized that.

    I tried on a skirt back in February while shopping with mom. It was a bit too tight, but so pretty. It was expensive, and I didn't want to buy something I wasn't going to wear because it didn't fit properly. Mom went back and bought me the skirt for my birthday, so now I'm losing 5 pounds so I can fit into it.

    Yeah same happened with me. :( Now we will try to break "indian girls always gain weight after marriage" notion.
