What size do you want to be?

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.:)

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 started out in a size 22-24 and a 3 x top. now I wear 14 jeans without elastic and an XL top. I would like a10-12 top and bottom. I lost a size in my foot also Pre-band I was a 10 now I wear a 9

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'm a size 20 now but wish to be a size 1 or 2. Do they even make a size 1?

Realistically, my goal will be a size 6 or less. But I'm not sure if the left over skin I think I will have will allow me to be that size.
