I'm a size 14 or 16 (depending on the brand) but I want to eventually get down to a 10 or 12. I'd be okay with where I am now if I had a tummy tuck, I think. I started off at a size 28.

I'm a size 16 now, down from a 22/24. I would love to get down to a 12. I am tall, and top heavy, anything smaller, and I would look very out of proportion. It amazes me that it is as close as it is...I know the hardest part lies ahead of me...but I can see it! Shopping for pants in the regular sizes is great fun already!!! Like Puddinpie, I could easily go down a size or more with a tummy tuck, but gotta rid myself of some more of the fat under it first!!!!

Sizes are different here, but basically I was a US 20 and am now a US 14 and would like to be a 12. I'd be more than happy with that at 5ft 10.

I'm a 22 now but i hope to be a 10. An 8 would be ideal because of the single digit but a 10 would work just fine. =)

I started in a 22/24 and am currently in an 11/12. I would love to see an 8 and think I would be close if I had the extra skin removed. I am talking to a plastic surgeon after the first of the year. We will see what he and the insurance says. ~Mandy

When I look in the mirror and like what I see, THAT will be my ideal size.

Don't get me wrong, I love where I am and how I look, I just hate the extra skin. I am having to tuck it into my pants and I have to be careful not to zip it up in the zipper. ~Mandy

I'm a shorty....4' 11 1/2. I wear a size 4 non-stretch jeans...size 2 if they are "stretchy".

I weigh 123 pounds.

I'm a 14 now from a 24/26. I am thrilled. I can't wait for a 12, but I'd really like to be a 8/10

I'm a 22/24 now, down from busting out of 26/28's...I'm in a 2X top down from 4X pushing to a 5X...

My goal right now is a 16...then I'll take it from there...I agree with Elizabeth - when I look in the mirror and like what I see, that will be my ideal size.

I remember my size 9 Lee Rider jeans and would love to get into those again!

I'm a 12/14, depends on what I'm wearing, if it's above the waist it's XL or 1x, (darn big boobs).

At my age, 56, if I lose much more, I'll have to contend with saggy skin, which IMO is the only thing that looks as bad as the fat. I know I'm much happier than I was two years ago, and I like me a lot better, I'm healthier and I think those things are more important to me than size. :)

Wow, you've all had great success so far! Congrats!!

My current size is 24. I'd love to be half that but the smallest I remember (without being a child) is 16.

I am in a loose 14 pant right now and a large shirt. I would like to get down to a size 10, which for me will be at around 145ish I think.

I started off as a size 24...I'm comfortably wearing an 18 now and would like to end at a size 14 (I'm tall and large framed, so I know that anything smaller is unrealistic for me).
