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

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
