I would like to be a 7-8. My Surgery is April or May after my 6 month diet and exercise requirement is complete. I am a 20-22 now. I really want to be healthy, I will take what ever my results end at, but I will give it my all to get there. Good luck to you all.

I am a 20-22 as well. My surgery will be next month. I think I wouldn't mind being a size 9. Ultimately I just want to look and feel healthy.

I'm so proud of you guys. I started out a size 24 and I didn't stop until I was a 0. I got an obsession with losing weight. I looked healthy at a size 6. I'm working my way back. It's hard. I have a true phobia of gaining weight now. I weigh myself everyday sometimes 3 times a day.

Just be careful. My surgery was a blessing. Just always be happy where you are. I'm learning that now.

I'm a size 22 right now' date=' I'd love to be a 12. I was a 12 when I got married and very happy at that size. Anything smaller would be the cherry on top.[/quote']

Don't forget the whip cream

Really size 0? How do you feel? Do you see your self in good health & shape? Like when you was size 6 did you feel fat? Me honestly I'm happy in my size 4 but I wouldn't mind being a size 2 heck even a 1 lmbo but I don't want to look anorexia. I see my self slim but not skinny yet.

I feel fine. Everyone keeps telling me that I look really frail and too thin. I feel like I should keep losing weight. It's like I'm not content until I feel skinny. I've been told that I looked my best when I was in my size 6 jeans. Im like you. I know I'm slim..but I don't feel skinny yet. I know that a size 0 must be skinny..but I don't feel skinny. I dunno, it's a mental thing. I'm still not happy with my body. I think I'll feel better once all the baggy skin comes off. I've already had a tummy tuck but my thighs, butt and boobs belong to an 80 year old woman.

I have never really been a small person. Even as a child I remember always being plumper than my friends and the other kids. The smallest size I ever remember wearing was a 14 in high school and I thought then that was huge. It's funny because now being a size 24 makes me yearn for those 14 days. Ideally, I would like to be an 8/10 after everything is said and done.

Smallest size for me was also a 14/16 in jr & high school. I was a size 12 for 5 minutes. I would be happy to see 14/16 again.

Hmm... It's so hard to think of being fit. Exciting stuff... I would love to be an 8. Fit, healthy, fun!

Im determined to get down to a size 6...( crossing fingers).....

I have actually decided not to put a number on how much I want to lose and what size I want to be. I guess the reason for this is because I have never been anything but big. I want to feel and be healthy and whatever size and shape that is I will be happy :D

When you feel good & healthy I wanna know how much you lost & what size you are when you feel 100 percent ready to say "look at me now" . That's the best feeling.

6 would be amazing! I'm excited to look good in clothes instead just buying whatever fits.

I am anxious to have the option to buy cute and flirty clothes instead of fat and frumpy.
