When do you think I will be in a size 14?

Its funny what stupid questions you start thinking of :lol:

So I started at at snug 18 at 236 weight. Right now I am in a snug 16 at 208. But I can button them and zip them up. So thats about 25 lbs for one size. I know that as you get smaller the sizes change at more of 10 lbs (right?). So I am thinking another 20 lbs, I might be at a size 14?!?

Its been so long since I have been there :lol: I was kinda doing a personal goal and I would like to be at a 14 for my birthday in August. At my current rate, I might be at 185 or so by my birthday. Which if I remember correctly puts me in a size 14. I am about 5'7". Just wondering who out there is in a size 14 right now and how much you weigh. :)

Honestly it all depends on where u lose/ gain weight. One time I lost weight, I was in a 2x at a certain weight. Then I gained and all the weight seemed to go to my butt, so when I lost again it took longer for me to get to a 2x

Right now I'm right around 180 and a snug 12 at 5'9".

This depends on your body shape and it's all about how you're built. My pant sizes have gone down from a 26 to a 22 over the first 20 lbs. My shirt has gone from a 26/28 to a 22/24. I think I'm ready for a 20 over the last 10-15 lbs I've lost though. I'm your height, 5'7 and now 237ish.

I am 175, 5'5 (I am actually exactly 5'5" and a half inch, so I never know whether to round down or round up). I am in a 12/10-- I was in 14's at around 200.

This just goes to show you that there is no way to tell. It depends on the shape of your body. I have a fairly hour-glass shape, but I'm slightly heavier on top (my dang boobs) than bottom. If you have a straight waist and carry weight low, then a size 14 will take longer.

I was in snug 14s at 195 and fit into 14s well at 185

I am short 5'2 and stubby so I would definitey not fit in a 14 like you tall ladies for a while :(

I'm 180 right now, 5'2 and wearing a 10/12 or a 31 in designer jeans.

Doesn't if feel GRRREEEAT!!!?!?!?!?!?

I'm at about a size 10/12. I'm happy, but would absolutely love to be at a size 8 no matter if I only stay there for a month! LOL I will be marking that special time with my very first tattoo! I think that's a great enough reason to get one and not regret it at the age of 33. :)

You'll get there when you do and still feel you have more to lose, but will feel great about doing it!

I still forget that I can walk into ANY store and shop! Ooooooh the variety!

Have fun!

I'm going shopping tomorrow for a new belt & a new pair of capris, my 22's are falling off. I am hoping for an 18 but would b happy with a 20. I can't wait to b a 12 & b able to shop in normal stores!

I'm 5'5 and started at 255 wearing sizes 18/20 jeans and xl or xxl shirts. I'm now 190 and can comfortably fit in size 14 jeans, 12 if there is a little stretch in them and 10 if there is a lot of stretch. I shop at Old Navy a lot and their sweetheart jeans I can wear a 10, I tried on some shorts in a 12 and 14 and the 12 fit better. I have always been overweight so this is just amazing to me. If you keep losing at the same rate you should be in a 14 by Aug. GL (good luck)

I'm 5' 8" and, at 185, 14's fit very comfortably right now. I can squeeze into 12's but I won't buy any until they're a better fit. I have an hourglass shape, btw.

Im just about 5' 7" and at 184 lbs....i am wearing a size 14 comfortably (or 12 a little snug) ---- hope that helps :)

Great. Thanks ladies. I think I will be in to 14. I tried on my 16's again and I can probably start wearing them. They are not as tight now and I can bend iver in them :)

I'm 5'9" and weigh 185 and fit comfortably into 12s. The 10s are a bit snug yet.

I started out at 240 pounds and was in a size 22/24. Currently I am in a size 16. I bought a dress that was a 14W and it looked great. I would say that by the time I am around 180 I would fit into a 14 maybe a little tight. I am pretty hippie with a low belly so to speak. I will be glad just to get rid of the W's. It is very exciting and difficult not to shop too much because I know that I am still changing. But my overall goal is to be a 10/12 still have a way to go but I am moving forward every day. Best of luck!!
