A 10 is what I've always wanted.

Size 10-12 feels just right for me. Nice staying the same size as clothes fit as long as I choose to wear them

Yes I saved one giant pair of stretchy size 22. Just to never forget from whence I came????

I'm a 10-12 right now, but would love to be an 8. I look trim at a size 8. Plus I'm pushing 50, so I want to be realistic! :P

I was a size 24 pant and 2x shirt. 2 weeks after surgery and I'm in a 1x shirt and 18 pant. I would love to get down to a 7/9 or med. I'm 5'3 so my goal weight is 120. We will see though.

It's do-able. I was a 24 pant and a 4X top at my heaviest, and now I wear a size 6P pant, size PS or PM top..and in better dresses, mostly 10P. I've no idea what size dress I would have worn at my heaviest...I stopped wearing dresses at size 20.

I would love to hit a size a size 10. I'm just starting my process at a size 22/24.

Yeah. Size 10....

At 5'8", my initial goal was a size 12. I started at a size 22. I have been at my goal weight for over a year and a size 10/M. Totally happy where I'm at and love my wardrobe!!

I have a lot of size 8s from before I got pregnant. I'm hoping to get back to these clothes, even though they are probably out of style by now! Size 8 is where I want to be.

Lol. What year did you get pregnant? Sizing has changed so much over the years! I discovered a few boxes of clothes in my attic of clothes from high school and clothes before I had kids (circa 1980's and 90's). I'm wearing a modern size 8. I can squeeze in some size 6 clothes. I cannot squeeze in many of the size 12 pants I have from high school!!!! Modern sizes now include 00 and 0 so everything seems to have gone up. Darn variety sizing! I also think the cut of things is to blame. Things were all high waisted in the 80's and 90's! My waist isn't as small as it once was before kids!

I would love to go into any store and take a 10 even 12 of the rack and it fit

Size 6 is perfect for me!!!

5'5 currently 167lbs...@ old navy, Gap & NY&co I can fit a size 6 but I know that is due to vanity sizing.

Hoping to loose 17 more pounds by my 1 year anniversary. I am 10 months post opp

Honestly now that I think about I wouldn't mind being an 8. The single digits once in my adult life would be awesome!
