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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
