Anyone Else Have A Goal Size?

So I have been big all my life and don't ever remember weighing under 200 lbs. I'm a big girl I'm 5'11". So I know I want to be able to fit a regular size 14 in jeans and slacks. I already bought some goal size 14 dresses and they fit, just not comfortably. I originally set my goal weight at 190 but I don't know what size that is for me. So my goal is size 14. Anyone else?

My doc s goal for me is 131! I can't imagine that but we will see what happens. I am 5'4. I would like to see a size 12 again!!!!!

I am 5'5' my pulmonary doc wanted me to lose 75# now he says 100. I am 196 now He said 170 originally now 150. I have gone from sz 18/20 to 12/14. 10 would be fine with me

So I have a question that is up for discussion. If the sleeve is supposed to help us get to the weight our bodies are supposed to be' date=' how does it know for people like me that have been overweight since childhood? I was a normal weight baby. I think I was overweight starting in second grade. I see a lot of people that post on here they would love to be their high school or pre-baby weight. Well I weighed 200 lbs and haven't had any babies yet. I'm just curious.[/quote']

ME!!ME!!ME!!ME!! lol

I was chubby by kindergarten. Not full on fatty or anything, but definitely had a tummy. (I remember being a size 8 childs) I chose my goal weight based on a method I learned in nursing school. Although, I'm definitely open to reinterpretation once I get lower. The last time I was 135, I was in 6th grade, 5'3" & no Girly developments. Haha I'm now 5'7" & an adult, obviously, so who knows. As for size, I just remember being a 12 in jr high--& my mental blocks want me to be below that. :)

I am afraid to pick one! I just want to get as healthy as possible!

Same here!!

I was 12 when I had to go to Layne Bryant for the first time...

single digit size bottom, M or L top. NO Xl, XXL, 1X... no X's ever agan. 6/5 shoe, not 7. Boots that are not wide calf. 36 or smaller bust size. My cup size is a G right now, hoping the girls shrink some.

...basically' date=' I want to shop on the main floor of a department store...not relegated to the basement, in back of housewares...[/quote']

Yes!

Well... I am apparently the shorty of the bunch. I am only 5'0" my start weight was 228 and my current weight is 121. My goal weight is 110. At my start weight I wore an 18/20 and right now I wear a 3/4. I want to wear a size 2. :)

My height is 6'0. Years ago was 200 pounds size 12, dream to be a 10-8 and ,medium. By the way i have 250 pounds somewhere between 18-16.

I am a size 16 jean now. I am also a shortie at 5'2". I would LOVE to wear a size 6 jean. I can't even fathom anything smaller than that (but would love it)! I carry most of my weight in my legs, so hopefully I'f be in a small top. I am getting sleeved 1/18/13.
