I am a size 24 and I'm okay with being plus sized, I just wanna look and feel healthy. I'm having rny in Aug, and I really don't wanna go smaller than a 16.

What is your ideal size?

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

Yup! I can't even imagine buying cute clothes that I actually like, not just tolerate. Whoo Hoo!

I was in a store yesterday and got so depressed cause all the cute stuff is in a size 5... I don't want to be that small... I just don't understand why designers act as if big people don't want style... So... I'm a size 16 at the moment and hopeful.

Stay hopeful!! And find and store! That's crazy to only have cute stuff in a size 5.thats really small. Other places have to have a better selection. At 16 you are out of the plus size department... That is awesome!!

Funny you would say a 16 is out the plus size... I was led to believe plus starts at a size 12... I don't think I will ever see myself smaller... Unfortunately we don't see what others see. The verbal abuse I have suffered has been so damaging. Still trying to heal my mind along with my body.

Imani, it's so sad. Ill be damaged for years. :-( but we will be ok. You seem like a strong woman. I feel sorry for all of us who have had to endure the abuse.

Plus really starts at a 12w but regular clothes can go up to an 18. Weird!

12 is considered plus size!! That's crazy. No wonder so many women have horrible feelings about their self image.

Oh my gosh! How in the world can anyone consider a 12 to be plus size?! I would love to be that size! It shouldn't surprise me sine I have heard people say that Beyoncé is "thick". What a crazy world we live in.

Can you imagine how Marilyn Monroe would be judged by today's standards?

i was only ever in a 10 for about 2 weeks, sad sad sad, been much bigger my whole life, i am taller, but i think i will be happy at an 8 or maybe a 10. my husband doesn't want me to lose the round booty, but i hate it so we will have to find some middle ground. i am just afraid of not fitting in my clothes nicely because of excess skin.

I'm a size 22 right now. Would like to be at least a 10/12... That would be amazing!!

I would also just like to be a healthy BMI. Not sure what size that would be though.

I agree. I want to look good, feel good, and be within normal weight limits. No obese, no over weight... Just right! :0)

I am a size 26 and have been for 12 years. I will also be the 5th woman in my family to have weight loss surgery. I would love to be a size 14. I loved being that size!

Im a 22/24 now. At my healthiest I was a 10. Im also 5'10 so I think anything smaller would make me look unhealthy.
