    I actually have a closet full of clothes I havent' fit into for years so that is my "goal outfit...well goal closet". :laugh: I don't think it's a bad idea if it keeps your motivated, but don't spend lots of money on that outfit because your body could change shape and it might not look as good as you'd like if that makes sense. Or buy it from a store that is great on returns if that is needed in a few months! :smile:

    Mine was originally to fit into my wedding dress, have not tried it on yet, but my other goal was to wear the same jeans I wore when I met my DH (good ol levis shrink to fit). DONE! Wearing a pair today - FEELS AWESOME, I am so glad I kept them. For me the goal clothes helped!

    Me too! I have a plus size leather skirt I'm hoping to wear to a sock hop in May. I want to go as "bad Sandy" from Grease. Sort of... At least she is the inspiration for the outfit....

    I would like to wear a modest two piece this summer! Yes, I think we should buy our goal outfits! Great idea!

    I bought a pair of awesome Oakley board shorts several years ago and was disappointed when they didn't fit but loved them so much that I didn't want to send them back so I kept them and vowed to eventually fit into them! They have been my size gauge for the past year, when I put them on originally I couldn't even get the velcro to stay together and could barely tie them let alone button them. I tried them on the other day "just to see" and I could button them and tie them and everything. They are still snug but I have high hopes that they will fit great by summer!

    May be try 1 size down.
    You have to lose anywhere between 10 - 15 pounds to fit into one size less (not accurate).

    3 sizes is a stretch!!! When you are down a size, may be you can go for another goal outfit :smile:

    I would have an idea or picture of a goal outfit - but I wouldn't buy it just yet.

    When I started losing weight I was looking forward to getting back into all my old clothes: but my shape changed so that those styles didn't really flatter me any more, and I had to work out what looked good on my new shape.

    My husband bought me some thigh high stockings a few months ago, when I hit my goal weightIi'm going to wear them for him with some sexy heels, and we'll both celebrate! :) I could wear them now, but I'd feel much more sexy and accomplished if I use them as a reward!

    I want to do this as well, I have my eye on a sexy, yet conservative sweater dress from Victorias Secret, size 8.
