What item of clothing is it your goal to fit into?

Black skinny jeans, long sleeve dark wine coloured fitted velvet top, knee high boots. Not sure what size, but smaller than the 12 I am now.

I want to be able to wear a top like the model in the picture and bikinis without feeling insecure. I'm a lot more confident with my body now and believe I'll get there soon.

Those are basically my goals as well! I'm hoping to be ready to rock my bikini by this summer. The bottoms actually fit now but the top is still too small (my chest hasn't gotten much smaller as I've lost weight) but I'm hopeful by June/July. And I've always loved tops like that! I would love to feel confident wearing one!

I've always been on the big side. So my goal is to be able to fit in a size 6. I don't remember the last time I wore a 6. I know it was in my teenage years somewhere. Lol. I want to look fierce in a little black dress without having to think about spanx or having rolls.

I have a cute red summer dress with colourful cut-out embroidery that I'd love to fit into again - that's my Ultimate Goal Dress. It's been close to 30 years since I last wore it. (That and my wedding outfit, which is probably a similar size but a slightly more forgiving style.) I have about 25-30lbs to go before I can wear them, I think!

Also, I love that Tardis dress! I've seen a few versions of them, but that's one of the nicest - I'd wear that!

I read that the discrepancy between clothing sizes varies a lot between retailers. The higher end, designer ones will be smaller in the same size than places like Old Navy and JC Penney,etc.

Someone posted an article about so-called "vanity sizing" a while back... I don't recall where it was now, but it talked about how it's more often the case that brands these days tend to cater to a specific customer base. So a brand aimed at teenagers or young women will have different sizing and fit to one targeted at middle-aged women, for example. It seems to be a question of identifying the brands that fit well and flatter your shape, and then sticking with those!

(Plus I'm sure there is a vanity element to it in some cases as well - some retailers might want their customers to feel good that they fit into a "size 2" even though it might not be called a 2 anywhere else... )

Not here to lose weight so N/A.

I went to a thrift store and spent less than $10 and bought myself a dress that's a couple sizes down (it's gorgeous all blues and greens), and a pair of jeans several sizes down that I am hoping to fit into some day.

Though, I also have a goal of being able to borrow from my hubby's closet. Mostly the men's Medium t-shirts he doesn't wear anymore because he gained 15lbs when I was pregnant and hasn't lost it yet lol.

I don't have a picture here, but I bought this dress back in October for a work conference. Back then, it just barely didn't fit me, but I've gained a bit since then. I think fitting into that is great motivation for earlier on goals for me, like reaching 15 pounds lost. Overall, I want to be able to wear a pair of short shorts (I'm 21, all the girls my age wear them and I've never felt comfortable doing it). Great post idea!

High waisted skirts and pants! I adore the high waisted look with a cute button up shirt, but because I store most of my fat in my belly and thighs, I can't wear the skirts and pants I want to.

I'd like to fit into my vintage Levi high waisted shorts and my high waisted jeans.
