For me it’s a tight little black dress...where my wait is smaller than the curves of my hips LOL. Oh and maybe some naughty Victoria Secret.

Anything that doesn't involve a cover-up, like a big sweater or sweat jacket to "cover up" my back fat and belly lol.. To be comfortable in just a tank top, a cute top or even just a t-shirt without covering up would be awesome. Oh, and sexy high heels! I'd love to be able to wear those again without feeling like I was going to keel over and die from the pain! I miss feeling sexy!

Love this post BTW!

Anything that doesnt come from the "womens" or "plus size" section. I want to wear clothes that fit me well. I want to buy things from the little trendy stores and not from Lane Bryant!

Life is so ironic. I got to a BMI of 21 and could wear most of what I wanted, but still had a slight muffin top that frustrated me. I'm pretty obsessive about things like that - I wont wear anything that shows VPL or a braline or any fat showing at all.

Well, thanks to chemo and radiation, I finally get down to a BMI of 19 only now I have a temporary stoma so I have a bag on my stomach and the surgeon fashioned a loop of my intestine over the stoma (but under the skin) so i have this bulge there,. So skin tight stretchy dresses - yeah, I'm at the weight and in the kind of shape that I could wear them and look fantastic - except now I have to dress loose around the middle, lol!

So lately, I'm wearing high heels and short skirts - something I rarely do because I'm already 5ft 10 - to show off my legs, which are looking pretty hot if I do say so myself.

on a more serious note, its sooooooo good to just shop in regular stores and I've found being thin even makes stores like Kmart and Target more attractive, you can find great stuff that looks good on you when you're not all bulges and rolls. Its the best reward of weight loss to my way of thinking! But all of us have figure flaws and I never found I could wear absolutely anything I wanted. I dont do maxi dresses for example - ick, I hate them and they look awful on me. All skinny bony shoulders and arms, and then this enormous swathe of fabric. I need my legs to show to balance it out.

Oh yes, this is one of the main reasons why I got the Lap-Band. I CANNOT stand the clothes at Lane Bryant. I also want to be able to wear sexy lingerie and look sexy in it too.

I have my eye on this vera wang gown for my wedding in 2012: http://brideguide.ehclients.com/images/uploads/Esther.jpg

I would love to wear it and look beautiful in it (including having some semblance of a waist line).

I love this post!

I am a clothes addict - I love all fashion - and it stinks being only in the plus sizes. 1. Because not a lot of designers have plus sizes. 2. If they do, they don't really change the design to fit a plus size person. I can't wait to shop in regular stores or in the non-plus departments. Hope I never see those sales clerks in Woman's again :).

All that said - I want to get to the stage where I look good in a pair of jeans! May sound silly - but I am going to go out and buy the most kick @ss pair of expensive jeans - when I am 145lbs or below!

In the meantime - I can't wait to wear shirts that don't have to come to my knees to hide my belly!!

I almost forgot one of my biggest wishes - I have always wanted knee high boots. I have been embarrassed multiple times in stores trying them on and then don't fit above my calve or I can't zipper them. When I lose - that will be one of my first additions to the wardrobe (after the summer :) )

I am dying to wear a bikini like you wouldn't believe. After a year of tons of Lipo and now 3 tummy tucks, that is all I want to wear. I am still healing but thats all I can think about.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
