What size do you want to be?



Recommended Posts

My feet are shrinking too -- I thought it was just the width from weight loss, but when I got out my sandals from last year -- you know how you can see the footprint -- (gross but true) Well the actual length of my foot is shorter. I was in a 10 and now I'm a 9! I was an 8.5 before kids & weight gain maybe I'll get there again!

Haha bandayed,

What's really weird is ..I've got these kinda sandal/platforms and there is that leather piece that goes overtop of the foot...that piece used to be very very tight but now my feet just slide out while i walk in them. They have made me fall a few times b/c they are so loose now. It's time for a wardrobe change but I don't think I should waste my money being as I'd be in a size 7 in a few months ;)

I was thinking though, I don't want to have anymore kids so I'd definately get a Tummy Tuck once I'd hit 145lbs. My goal is 135lbs but I know that doctors remove about 5 - 15lbs of excess skin when they do tummy tucks. So is it customary to actually hit goal weight first, such as 135 and then get a tummy tuck? If I had to do this then I may be smaller than a size 7 or maybe right at 7, who knows.

I am at size 24/26 and would love to be in a size 18. I'm 5'8" and the smallest I have been was 14. That is more difficult to maintain for me. Time will tell.

I am a 22 right now, sometimes even 24 but I try to avoid it. 22 jeans are tight though. I'm hoping to be a size 4 or 6. I know I'm capable of a 6. I could probably get down to a 4 if I excercise.

I'm 5'4'' started in size 26/28 pants now in a loose 22. Shirts 26/28 now 22/24 only because I hate the roll showing but, others tell me I should go down a size. I'd love to get into 14s but, 12 or Medium is my dream goal.

Good luck everyone...I hope you're all well and shrinking ;)

I'd love to be an Australian 14, which is a US 12. I'm 5ft 10 so that would be nice and slender, but healthy.

I'm 5'9 and started as a 22/24 am now down to 16's. (I had to return some size 16 shorts the other day & the 14's fit!) Would like to get down to at least 12.

Pre op I was a UK 28 (US 24). I am currently a UK 24 (US 20) and I hope to get back to UK 12/14 (US 8/10). Clothes sizes vary from shop to shop in the UK. Before my weight gain I could wear a size 12 in TopShop but require a 14 from M&S.

I am glad someone dug this thread up!

I am starting at a US 28 pant and 26/28 top. I would be over the moon to be at US 14, but I will be happy to be a 16 or 18 pant. I have a really large skeletal frame and once a nutritionist told me after doing my assessment that I'd be anorexic looking if I made it to a 12.

I started out as a 22/24 and just bought my first size 12 pants this weekend! I am a 12 on top unless it has buttons, then I need a 14 for my two girls. Honestly I am just glad to have something left! I would like to be a 10! Almost there!

I'm 5'2" and started at a very tight 16. I am currently wearing a loose 10 not quite into an 8 yet. I want to see what a 4 looks like, but would probably settle for a 6, if just my belly was flat and firm like those little girls in the belly shirts; alas, I have always had a poofy belly.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
