    has anyone used a belt as that piece? Just found one I bought super cheap boxing day and it only goes to the first hole. I'm thinking this couldbe really good in seeing that progress

    I've been keeping a leopard print belt that I bought when I was 16. I want to wear it again!

    A Calvin Klein size 4 dress. Because ol' Clavin hasn't been as fogiving in his sizes as other deigners/brands have gotten. I used to be a size 16W - and I'm 5' tall. Once I started getting close, I started going to the store about once a month to try on one of the CK dresses. Today I was able to zip it up. It's still a little snug, but I bought it and it will hang in the closet until I drop these last 5 lbs and it fits perfectly. :o)

    Does a frenemy count?



    I like the ribbon & belt ideas.

    I have a mannequin torso that hangs on my bedroom wall. I keep a dress or top on it that I want to wear when I reach my weight loss goal. I change the article of clothing around, just to remind me of all the lovely, new items I will be able to wear when I am thin.

    I have a pair of jeans that are hanging on the door of my closet that I am bound and determined to fit into by fall!!! The best motivation for me is that every week I try them on to see where I am at!!! It makes me push myself at the gym knowing those jeans are waiting for me to wear in the fall!!!!

    I have ribbons on my door, labeled "Waist", "hips", "neck", "thighs", etc... measurements from about 15 lbs ago, and occasionally I pull it off the door and hold it up to my body and remind myself that I'm not going to just go and give up all this hard work I've put in to get this far!

    It's not a "goal" motivation, but more of a... "You got this far, now don't ruin it." type of motivation. xD

    I have a lot of jeans from high school that i WILL fit into again someday. I also go to the mall and browse at my favorite store (Costa Blanca!) and promise myself a shopping spree when I reach my goal size :D Most of their clothes are not flattering for someone with lovehandles and a tummy like mine haha

    Kind of different, but back in college I used to put a little mark on my hand with pen so that i would see it any time I was reaching for a snack or something. A little reminder. Hah. Now I wear a cute ring on my snacking hand. :P

    Some size 9 jeans I snagged at a yard sale early last year. LOL I grabbed them for my teenage son, not realizing they were women's jeans. (smartness!)

    When I realized my mistake I kept them around and dreamed of getting into them. Back then I jokingly tried them on and couldn't get them past my knees. This morning they were an inch from buttoning. :)

    Almost there!

    (which means it's time to find new goal jeans...)

    I have a sexy size 4 dress that I wore after reaching my goal. I try it on to make sure it still fits. It helps me maintain.
