Size Goal Instead Off Weight.

Everyone always talks about weight horrors but I want to build muscle too so its it bad to make size goals instead of weight? Does anyone do this

    I haven't weighed less than 200 pounds since I was about 14, so I don't have a weight goal really, because I have no idea what would be a realistic, maintainable weight for me. I just want to be able

    I've never been anything but plus sized so my go al is to shrink out of plus size clothes and never fit ANYTHING plus size again.

  • Well, I would be happy if I would consistently fit into a size 12/14, regardless of my weight. I don't think there's anything wrong with it! Might save you some stress over the numbers on a scale!

Started at a 24...wearing a 14 now, however my male cousin commented about my sagging ass pants yesterday.

I think I will stick with 14's until fall and buy new then. Hope to have hit my goal weight by my year anniversary on 11/30. My husband started in a 48 jeans, and bought him 36 in June.

I still have a weight goal..set by my doc.....so we will see how it goes.

Well, in my mind I've always dreamed of being a 14 again... I remember getting really mad at my mom in high school because she bought me size 14 jeans and I thought they were sooooo huge... So ever since I exceeded a 14 I've felt really badly about myself.

That said, I started this journey in April at a 20/22, and at only 36lbs down am already wearing an 18... Suddenly wearing a 14 doesn't seem so far away!!

So all things being equal, I'd LOVE to be an 10/12... I don't see myself in an 8, but a 10/12 would be amazing!!!

I started at a size 18/20/22 (very tight 18) 6 months later I can fit into some 14's but my current size is 16. I can still wear some of my 18's that did not fit before and they're very loose. I don't know what my goal is right now but I would love to shop at a regular clothing store instead of the "plus". :D

I started in april 2012 in a tight 18...i am now wearing a 14 and fit into a 12 but they are still a little to tight...first goal is to be a single digit! then go from there.
