What size do you want to be?



Recommended Posts

I started in 18/20 and now I am 14/16. I really want to be in a 10. I was wondering what size everyone started at and wanted to end at.:)

I've love to see a 14/16 again, but I'd be happy with an 18/20.

I'm between 5'10 and 5'11 so those are pretty good sizes for me. 18/20 maybe a little more chubbier than my "ideal" - but a heckuva lot better than where I started. :)

<EDIT add to>

(edit to add)

I started at a tight 32. I'm now in a loose 28. I can close my 26s but I get muffin top!

I'd like to be a 14, but would be amazing in a size 12. I started 24, (should have been 26 in some sizes) and am now 20/22

I started in a 26 and am aiming for a 10. I started to say a 12, but I know I'm still a bit pudgy when I'm wearing a 12. I'm 5'5" and my normal BMI says I should weigh about 130-135. That had better be a 10! *laughs*

well a size 0 of course; then I wake up from my dream and check out reality:phanvan

At 5'7" I used to look ok in a size 10 - but that's been so many years ago that I'll have to look at sizes once Im down that far - I haven't bought anything with a number size in it in so long I have no clue what sizes are

XXXL XXL XL are my friend :biggrin1:

I have shorts that I bought from ebay that were a 22/24 (embarrassing, but I had to email the person and ask how tall and how much they weighed to see if I could fit in them) and they were so tight in the waist, I popped buttons off !:think 21 lbs lost and I can pull them off of my hips no without unbuttoning with problem.

<fingers crossed for size 10 or lower> My oldest daughter is 5"8 and 135lbs and she wears a size 7, so I have to be realistic - I'll be happy when I don't have a #2 or X starting my sizes lol

I started at a size 16 and is now comfortable in a 14. I would be on cloud 9 when I can get back in a 8!

Hi!

I am a 20W now, pre-op, but would love to be a small size 12, that meaning I could wear a 12 in ANYTHING! :) I am 5'9" so I am not really fat at that size. At least that is what I remember from 10 years ago when I last saw a 12! :omg:

Guess I will be on my way soon, surgery scheduled for 4/19/06!:biggrin1:

I'm 5'5. Started at 18 pants, 3X top. I'm now in 10 pants and Lrg/XL top.

I credit my legs to all the life-cycling, but I have that muffin middle look, rolls over the waist-band.

I stated in 16 & 14's. I am now in 12's and have recently bought several 10's. I still feel fat and I would like to be in an 8 or possibly 6. Clothes just run larger these days. I weighed 135 and wore a size 10. Now at 20lbs heavier I can wear the same size. So a 6 is probably really an 8.:)

I am 5' 11" and a bit, I'd love to be a size 14... I am 42years old, I gave birth to 3 kids, a size 14 would be a goal size for me.

In fact I am pretty thin at a size 14.

12 would be too skinny...right now I am a 20-22

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
