Im a size 20 about 5 7 not banded yet, I would love to be a size 14 or 16. After that then maybe a 12 I'm top heavy also with child bearing hips from GOD. I's like to keep my hips and butt.

I was a size 24/26....I'm now a 14 (however, I do fit into size 12P stretch jeans quite comfortably.

I would like to be in a size 12 top,and 10p pant.

I am in a 10/12 now and started at about a 20/22. I was banded 9/05. I would like to be in a size 8 and would be pretty close to it if I could get a tummy tuck.

I'm currently an 18/20 and I would like to be an 8, but I'll settle for 10. :)

I got into a size 4 today! I can't believe it. They were a bit tight so I think another 10 lbs and they will be comfy and then another 10 and I will be in a 2....god willing. I am only 5ft 0".

I don't know for sure what my real size was - I was in denial once I got to a size 34... I just wore tight clothes, people.

Now, I am fitting into 28 or 30 depending on the brand and the type of clothing. My goal is a 14.

My fantasy goal is a size 12. I can't even visualize it... I certainly can't remember ever being that thin as an adult.

Good luck to all.

I got into a size 4 today! I can't believe it. They were a bit tight so I think another 10 lbs and they will be comfy and then another 10 and I will be in a 2....god willing. I am only 5ft 0".

A size 4, you go girl!

I started at a size 20, and am now a 16W/18. I would be happy at a size 10, but would love to see 8. I am 5' 6 1/2". For me at about 160 I am a size 10, so I am hoping for the 145lb size 8. I have a very distinctive pear shape, and currently wear M or L tops. I wish I could just lose from my bottom half.

I'm from the UK, so we are a wee bit different than the US. For example your 16 is our size 18. That's why I like shopping in the US he he.

Before Op I was a 22 (Us20)

17 Days after I am 18/20 (US16/18)

My goal is to fit comfortable into a size 14 (US12). I am 5ft 7' and to be honest size 14 is the average size I remember wearing as a teenager and when I first discovered I was pregnant and lost a lot of weight (first and last time without trying!)

The thought of wearing a 12 is just so unbelievable that It isn't even worth considering.

I'm happy enough getting into a smaller size of clothes only after 3 weeks of being lapbanded. Any thing else will truly be a gift!

I am between 16 & 18 and my ideal is an 8 I'm 5'3" and think that a 8 is somewhere around 140. As for those of you who say I'll know it when I get there I would be suprised if you really do. My friend had gastric bypass and shes 5'7" and 145 and she still isn't happy with what she sees in the mirror. She has the "apron" and still considers herself fat.

I started as a UK 28/30, and can only imagine being an 18. Thinking beyond that and trying to visualise myself any smaller is impossible at the moment, I just have no idea who that woman will be, or what she will look and think like, its such an alien concept.
