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



Recommended Posts

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!!

Well, I started at 262......size 22 (ouch) I am 5'9", and now at 200 I fit into 15 juniors LEI brand from wall-mart and a 14 misses just doesn't fit right......at the end of the day I want to fit into a size 9 and wear a meduim top.........O.K. I may be happy with a 10, but I really want a 9. You know that is a single digit size.:Banane04:

I agree that it is all about how you are built. I weigh 183-185, and I am sitting here in a pair of size 8 shorts.

I am 5'7" and weigh 187 and fit into size 14 right now. My size 14's are just starting to get a little baggy but size 12 is still too small.

You'll get there! It takes a lot more loss to see size changes in the 30's and 20's than it does in the teens and singles. When I was GAINING weight, that made me happy (I could gain 20 lbs and still wear the same dang clothes!), but when I first started losing it was frustrating! This time next year you'll be posting about your tiny sizes :)

Bought some cute walking shorts at sams club today. Size 16 ;)

They are stretchy material, so I think I will be able to wear them thru the summer. But they fit goood. And I think I look skinny... Lol

I think I am going to wear them tomorrow. I might go back and get some 14's (they were $12) to have a pair for the end of the summer;) im so bad

Don.t be frustrated,,, be glad that you are on your way to losing weight.

I know I am. Right now I am wearing a 2x in Capri's (ALL SIZES FIT DIFFERENT YA KNOW.)

Most of them are getting real baggy in the butt. So, when I get some smaller cloths.

I will list these on our clothing exchange site. They are in nice shape, but I will be

glad to see them go.

I started out 20 lbs heavier than you. I am a pear shape. I am 5'9 1/2" and have size 10 feet... I carry my weight from the waist down..especially in the legs. On the day of surgery I was down 22 lbs and still wearing 3x top, 44 B bra and 4x skirt. Today I am down 94 lbs and have on a XL shirt, 38B bra and a sized 20 skirt and all are roomy

I have decided there is no single answer to what size = what weight... it depends on so many factors. Because I am bottom heavy my legs tend to prohibit me from wearing somethings my waist and hips will fit in... Go figure!

My goal is to become more evenly proportioned and to be able to wear jeans that dont gap 10 inches in the waist!! I remember for a minute in my 30s I was in a sized 10 jeans weighing 175 lbs and a size S/M shirt. I am 1/2 way there!!!!

I started out at 250 and 5'3", wearing size 26-28 shirts and 22 pants, now I am at 164 lbs and bought my first pair of size 8 jeans! I was so happy but I'm still wearing size 10 and 12 in some things. I think the sizes vary so much and that is the frustrating part.

Don't worry--I was close to your size when I started and I stayed in the same size clothes for awhile, just more loose--then I woke one week everything was falling off me. I was a 30/32 bottom, 26/28 top & bottom and nowI wear 18/20 bottom, and 14/16 top. As I exercised I loss more inches and made me fit into smaller sizes even when the scale does not show it.

It will probably hit you all at once and you'll drop two sizes fast! I pretty much bypassed size 16.

Same here. I bypassed 20 and 18. Wore a 22 for a long time. Then all of a sudden I was buying 16's.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
