My short term goal is a size 14 by my birthday next month. I tried on a pair yesterday at the store and I have about an 1/4 inch to go in the belly... so close... I should do the same thing and buy them to keep in plain sight for motivation. It's such a happy day when we hit those moments.

I do the same thing. I have a size 18 bathing suit it fits me, but a little tighter than I like. About another 10 lbs. and I will wear it. My 20 dresses and tops are too big, guess I will have to get out the sewing machine soon.

Seems like we all had the same idea! LOL Just last night I pulled out my old 14's as my 16's had to keep being pulled up when I walked! :D I got them from the shed,opened the storage box & tried them on! It didn't take long to see I would be *staying* in my 16's. It had been so long since I had worn them that it completely slipped my mind that my 16's had built in streeeeetch while my 14's do not LOL I swear when I am able to wear my old clothes again,I will *never* go back to stretch fabric LOL ...I think by the end of this month I'll try them on again!

My smallest jeans and a pretty top hang in my hallway all the time...that's my goal outfit. I wear the only pair of jeans I can fit in right now...some of my friends don't understand why I won't go out more...they say "oh just go buy a bigger pair of jeans" ummm HELL NO....I am not going to allow it to be ok to be where I am now...I am still going down every week and I know in 10m lbs I will be in my in between jeans....and another 8 or so after that...I will be back in my skinny jeans. I have tons of clothes in my closet that I haven't worn or worn very seldom for 2 years...I look forward to my new wardrobe :) when I reach my goal weight:)

Wdixon, i understand. I have only bought thrift shop clothes for a few years- might continue that-but i do not want to spend $$ on clothes that are larger than my goal. Just recently gave to a thrift shop size 16 and 14 jeans felt so good am down to a 10.

I do the exact same thing. I have the cutest dress that I keep in the room I exercise in. I also bought a cute black dress two sizes smaller with a goal to fit into it.

Hi chryssm, I don't think you are crazy, it worked with me. I lost 30 pounds and I could wear these beautiful & new things in my closet. I also gave my large size clothes to charity.
The problem is that life changes and I am so easily affected by it, so I gained all the weight back plus some. SO i have a closet full of these beautiful small clothes that I can't wear and I don't want to buy anything with extra large size, so I am just wearing the left over till I get the weight off me again.
Good luck everyone.
