Weirdly, I said an 8....I am a 4...in a sheath dress, with sleeves (may faint)....

i started in at LEAST a 22, but wore scrubs and t-shirts pretty much all the time so i really don't know...

however, with 60 lbs lost, a size 16 jeans fit me pretty well, and would be perfect after another 5# loss.

so for ME, i consider a size 10 really little and would be awesome.

considering that i have pretty much reversed ALL of my health ailments, my final size isn't too vital, just so that i'm healthy and not carrying belly fat which does really bad things to me...

I dont even know what size. I wont be getting sleeved until Jan 2015 and havent been under a size 16-18 in probably 7 years. I cant even remember being smaller.

Would love to be a 10. But honestly I just want to feel better. What I would love is to be able to wear sleeveless anything!!!

I really loved the way I looked and felt when I could wear a size 12. I am 5'7" and busty and I like having hips. I'm currently a 26, so a 12 seems pretty far away.

I let go of "Numbers" pretty quickly. I get asked a lot "At what weight will you stop trying to lose?" (or something similar) I think I'd have to answer the dress size question the same way. I won't have a magic number. My idea of perfection is clothes that I feel great in, and that won't make my butt look like a shelf. I know the old cliche, "Clothes make the (wo)man", but I disagree. I don't want the focus to be on my clothes... I want it to be on me! ;)

Hi I would have to say a size 10 dress, I use to weigh a size 3 x and I am now wearing a size large dress and loving it, I still have not reach my target weight yet but I am loving the new me, and look forward to reaching my goal, once I am at that size I can tell if I am happy with that size or not but I do know I look great in my size large dress LOL.

I would be happy seeing myself in a 12 considering how hard it's been to see success. But my ideal goal is a 10. I just cannot imagine getting there nor staying there. Time will tell.

I'd love to fit into a size 10. Still in the process stages, surgery hopefully in the spring :). So glad I found this site. So much info and so inspiring.

I would love to wear a size 8 or 10. I feel like at that size I'd look thin and still have some curves!

I just want to be back to what my old "normal" was before I put on extra weight post children (1999-2014). Problem is sizing has changed so much in the last decade! I currently wear a size 8 and was wearing a size 12 at this weight in the late 90's! So even though saying I want to be a size 6 sounds too small for someone 5'7" tall with a natural hour-glass figure, I guess that's what Im aiming for. (Which I still think is really a size 8/10) ???? Gotta love vanity sizing!
