I have a goal shirt. I ought it in 2001 when I tried losing my weight by myself. I fell in love with that shirt. Over a decade later, it still hangs in my closet, and i pray that I can wear it again some day.

I have a pair of jeans that I bought last time I lost weight that never quite fit...but I never reached goal last time. I can't wait until they fit and then are too big!

I am most looking forward to buying new swimsuits for vacation next year. I may even go for a bikini for the first time ever.

My first goal is to just get back into my size 14s without them being skin tight! Then getting under a size 12. I don't think I've wore anything smaller than a 12 since elementary school! I will be strutting my stuff if I get into single digits!!! Haha!!

If buying a "goal" outfit will help motivate you I say, why not? For myself I don't know what size I'll be exactly so I will shopping as I go along in my weight loss journey. I'm already down from a 24/26 W to 18/20 W. (The W stands for Woman not Wide LOL!) I've been fat my whole life and I'm also very tall 6'1" so I think I'll end up a normal size 14 approx.

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274

I don't have a specific goal outfit, but I'd love to wear a two piece swim suit. My ultimate goal is just to get to a 10/12, but even lower would be amazing!

I bought a goal outfit last September, my surgery was in August last year. I wore the purple shirt in April, but the jeans (Size 8) did not fit til now, and I'm still 33 lbs from my own personal goal. I have them on in my newest pics "May 2013 9 Months Post Op" Folder. They're the ONLY pair of skinny jeans I ever owned, I was surprised that even not at goal they don't look bad. I realize now that I will go below a size 8, but it kept me on track with the gym. So, although you might surpass your outfit, it's just one outfit, why not, if it will keep you motivated. Best of luck with your journey. I just realized the pic is also on the first page of my profile as my 'after' pic.

Yes I did this all the way along my journey and I still am!

I had a goal dress for size 16 that I don't have a pic of.

This was my size 14 goal dress :

This was my size 12 goal dress:

Now that I'm into my size 12 dress I'm buying a 10 or 8 tomorrow!! Yayyyy!!!

I think that having a goal outfit is a great way to stay motivated to exercise and eat healthy!

I have never on my adult life been smaller than a uk size 14 I am currently an 18/20 and the possibility of making it to a size 12 never mind a size 10 is beyond exciting I really cannot wait! I'm only 7 days post op but I get on my scales every morning to see progress I shouldnt be so impatient but I can't help it.

I didn't buy my goal outfit till I was at goal. First of all, I'm very picky and some things that look great on a hanger don't look great when I try them on. Secondly, wasn't sure about the timeframe for goal. I got to goal in winter so I bought knee high boots and a small Bracelet. I also bought a nice skirt and a few jackets. While losing weight, I only bought as much as I needed and spent as little as possible, so at goal it was a real treat to buy some nicer things and more of them.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
