I'm not at goal yet, so clothes are not an issue yet. However, I have to catch myself when we go out and I want to dress up as I start getting out the comb to tease my bangs up because when I used to "go out" it was in the 1980s and that's just what you did to look hot! Fortunately I have no leg warmers to reach for, and my shoulder pads are long put away. I just have to "resist" the big hair and big earrings and thick eyeliner....lol We should all get "makeovers" by professionals as one of our treats when we hit our goal

Congratulations on hitting your goal! I'm just getting to the smallest clothes in my closet, and soon I will have to venture out to find smaller clothes, and its a little intimidating. I have never liked shopping for clothes (mostly because it was so hard to find anything that fit right), and I'm still dreading it. Mostly because I'm not quite halfway yet, and I dread spending money on clothes that I know I will shrink out of soon anyway. And at the same time, that makes me happy, because I know what I'm doing is working. :)

I understand completely. It was hard for me to move into P3. But it's fine. I lost more on P3. I finally stabilized this week on P4. Jump in! The water's fine!

I was size 22 pants and now I'm wearing size 6 pants!! Talk about changing a self-image! But I think I never saw myself as that heavy, even though I was. I can't believe those big clothes were tight on me!

I'm comfortable wearing 6s and 8s. Dresses are size 6. I'm small, so I buy Petite, when I can find it.

I'm older than 41, but I feel and look much younger than I am. I don't want to dress like a teenager, but I want to (and CAN be) stylish. I'm enjoying form-fitting clothes for the first time in my life.

I'm getting ready to buy a dress for a wedding that I will attend in 2 weeks. I've tried on several of those "hourglass figure" dresses and I know I'll find one I like. It's strange not having to buy "whatever fits." I can hold off until I find something I really love.

I planned on getting down to size 10. And now I'm at a 6 and loving it!

Go for it, Pat! I'm also 5'1"!

The 80's are back, so you might be able to get away with the big hair! ;) I like your idea about the professional makeover though, that would be fantastic!

I could have written this thread myself.

I feel as though I look exactly as I did 105 pounds ago. I know that's impossible (clearly, I'm wearing different, smaller clothes) but nothing has changed in my mind yet.

I still have 30 pounds to go so I'm hoping my mind starts catching up.

I think part of my problem is that I am wearing clothes that are way too big for me because I don't want to spend money on things I'm going to shrink out of.

Loved reading this thread :) A friend of mine called me "skinny" yesterday, but the chubby girl in my head doesn't see things the way she does....

I'm totally with you on this! I really do NOT know how I should dress..I'm 45 and haven't been this size since I was in university. It's nice, but i'm kinda lost here too.

Cheeky..this is EXACTLY what I do now! LOL..I'll find something I really like then I'll go try it on and text a picture to my friend or DH to see what they think.

My hubby jokes about the fashion shows I put on for him every time I get dressed. He says he's been missing them this week as he's been working nights so he's sleeping in the morning while I get dressed.

I turned 44 while on IP (in February) so I'm often asking if I'm 'too old' to wear something. Well I was out shopping with my teenage step daughter and saw a pair of cute camouflage pants. She saw me looking at them and actually said I was too old for camo pants.....so I took them in the dressing room and tried them on. They looked cute so I bought them.....mainly because she said I was too old for them lol.

I've been dressing up more for work lately then I used to do. I used to always wear jeans....very casual and usually would wear dark shirts. Well now I'm dressing it bright colours and prints. The ladies at work are always making a big deal about my outfits saying how much they like them and that they want them. One of the ladies here who I always thought was so tiny (she works out every day for about 2 hours) said to the other ladies yesterday to back off as she's the only one who could fit into my clothes now. It made me feel good. Oh and I've even started wearing heels lately...I haven't worn heels in forever! Feels good.
