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.

Well

I am currently in a size 22 bottoms and size 22/24 top I am porportioned evenly thank god... I would love to be a size 16. I absolutely love plus size clothing because they are not HOOTCHIE like. So that is my dream size but then again I cant tell the band to stop working

Good luck everyone with your goals

I am buying some 12's nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! My bra has went from 46dd to 38dd.

I'm 5'10", I started in a reeeeally tight 20, now I'm a 16W...I want to be an 8/10 again.

While I look forward to shopping in the "regular" department again I will miss the "Sisterhood" feeling of the Women's dept and Lane Bryant. We all talk to each other and help pick out clothes that look nice, I enjoy that so much...

I absolutely love plus size clothing because they are not HOOTCHIE like.

:laugh :laugh This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say they prefer plus size clothes. Goodness woman - where do you live? If all the regular-size clothes around you are hootchie, methinks you need to find another place to shop. :laugh :laugh

Thanks for your commen sense comments! I always appreciate them. It's so easy to get caught up in the "I wish I were like..." and we need to work on being the best ourselves we can...we're all so different. I just hate the sizr game...it makes us constantly dissatisfied with ourselves.

I'd like to be a size 7. I am currently a size 16 but 16 is really very loose on me now and size 14 is too small so I'm stuck in the middle there somewhere.

Black Eyed Pea Lyrics to "My Humps"

Seven Jeans, True Religion's,

I say no, but they keep givin'

So I keep on takin'

And no I ain't taken

We can keep on datin'

I keep on demonstrating.

I would like to be a 9/10 - we'll see.....although, I was that size in 1998 and everyone told me I was too skinny...not sure, maybe as I'm older a 12 will be more realistic, as long as I can go to "skinny" girl stores and by my ish! I love a lot of urban designers, would love to be able to buy Beyonce's House of Dereon clothes, Ecko Red's new designs are pretty hot too...Got the latest issue of Vibe Vixen and there was sooo much stuff I wanted but can't fit in yet...Like random stuff I see in Elle too, lot of them have web addresses but there is NO plus size stuff, lol...the plus size stuff on www.BabyPhat.com are soooo ugly. My sweet husband though when he was in Atlanta he saw these gold BP sandals he knew I would love and they didn't have them in my size so he had them shipped to me and they arrived on Mothers Day! I hate only being able to fit in the SHOES of the designers, I like, lol, instead of their clothes (Like BCBG, BP, Eckko....)

I'm kind of a pear that's gotten more proportioned after having my triplets and gaining 100 pounds and only losing about 40 of those over 8 years. At one time I wore a size 6, but I'm pretty sure that those days are over. I'm in an 18/20 bottom and usually a 14/16 top - I'd be happy in a 12 bottom and ecstatic in a 10. Anything beyond that I would be over the moon. I have a really big butt and thighs, so I have to be realistic. (My Humps, Telly!)

Wow, triplets and still a size 18? You go girl! I had 2 kids years apart and just ballooned.

Okay, they're 8 years old! I know mothers of triplets that are size 2 - I'd like to smack 'em!

Melissa

Well lets see....I was happiest when I was in college in an 8 or a 10 but right now I think I would settle for a 12 b/c I am older. I was actually doing modeling when I was an 8 so that would be my ultimate goal. We'll see how far the band will take me! I am in a loose 16 now but most 14's are too tight so I am in limbo there. I will wear my 16's till they fall off b/c I was self pay and do not have $ to go shopping as I would like to. I started off in VERY TIGHT 16's and 18's so I know I have made some progress, it is just slow.

Oh yeah, smaller bras with less than 4 hooks with cups that I could not fit my head in would be AWESOME!

My feet are shrinking. The size 8's I used to wear are too big. I'm 7.5 now. Weird huh?

I would love to be a 10. I am a 16 now. But of course I will be singing when I get to a 14, and I will get to a 14...oh yeah....

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!
