I have 1 size 20 jeans, 1 size 18 one size 16 and one size 26 that are huge on me but I leave in there as a reminder never to gain weight again.

Shirts are all Large or X-Large.

Oh and one pair of jeans size 8 that Dad gave me before he died. I never wore them cause I was preggo at the time and I aim on getting in them soon to make him proud.

The only size of clothes I have in my closet, is my current size. I don't want to slip back in to something bigger, ever!!! If my clothes get too tight I have no room, therefore I have to get back on track.

I still have a few 14s hanging around but for the most part, I got rid of them all so that I could not slide back into that weight again. Most are 12s.

What's annoying is that I am fitting into mostly 12s, some 14s, and even - yikes - some 16s, depending on the brand. I have some L pants, some M. Tops, I have XLs, Ls and a couple of Ms. And these are the things I fit into currently!
I got rid of all the 1x and 2x stuff, the 18 jeans and most of the 16s. But I kept a few pairs of the biggest pants just to give me a lift on bad days. And I have a pair of size 10 jeans that I can zip (if I lie flat on the bed) but they are just a little too obscenely tight to wear.

I am currently a 12-14. I still have my size 16 jeans, size 18 wool pants from Eddie Bauer, and several XXL tee-shirts that I sleep in. I have slim pickin's in the closet, but almost everything there fits.

I finally got rid of all my size 2x and 3x clothes this past weekend. We had a huge neighborhood garage sale and I made almost $400!!
I would size people up as they walked up the driveway and I would say that 50% of the folks could wear those clothes!
My closet looks so clean. I hadn't seen the walls and most of the floor for 8 years!
It feels very liberating to be free of that part of my past. Quite emotional really.
I had been the same weight for at least 10 years so I didn't have any smaller clothes waiting for me, so it has been expensive. I look for sales and coupons and I'd hoped to be a size 14 by now so I bought a lot of stuff at the end of last summer when they were practically giving it away. Luckily I've managed to squeeze into most of it!
There's no going back now!!

At one point in my closet I had sizes 10 to 20. Now all I have is mostly 8's and a few 10's. Dr. A advised to get rid of them as you lose. There for a while my closet was almost empty. My DH said he has never seen the walls of our closet before now.

Shirts - Ranging from XL to S (Depends on what I want to wear) Mostly mediums though
Jeans/shorts - 18W to 5 junior

Anything that is over a 7 junior is waiting in bags to be taken to the women's shelter.

I was just looking at this too recently . I have 3 at the moment - size 14 which is what I was fitting into in December - a couple of size 12 - and two pants size 10. The reason why I was looking at it was because I was thinking only the size 10's fit me perfectly - the others are too baggy and the size 14s, I am thrilled to say, are rediculously baggy. So the upshot is - I need some new pants pronto! .

I have mostly 10's and 8's. I'm sort of between those sizes right now. I've got a couple of Old Navy 6's that I can fit into because their sizes run so far off. I'd say they're really 8's. It's amazing to me the differences in people's weights and sizes. Some of you at my weight are wearing much smaller clothes and I just can't figure it out. I'm exercising and working on building muscle, too, but geez...I'm just amazed at the conflicting numbers!
