How tall are you and what is your goal dress/pant size?

[HikeEveryMountain 112]

6' tall, size 10/12 is perfect for me now I'm at goal. What a nice change from size 22/24.....!

[bikrchk 1,313]

I'm 5'6". I THOUGHT my goal size was a size 8. I was so wrong! With vanity sizing creeping lower and lower these days, I am today in a 4 for most pants, 6 for a dress. After living in maintenance for the last 2 months, I've decided to take off another 10 "vanity pounds" so I have a bit more wiggle room within my goal range, so I may see a 2 yet!

I am 5'3" and initially my goal was to be in a size 8-10. I have never in my adult life been able to fit into a single digit size, so I thought I was dreaming with the 8's. But today I put on a size 10 dress! And it zipped! I am sure this was due to vanity sizing, because last time I weighed in the 170's (about 8 years ago) I was squeezing into 12's. But I'm starting to think that maybe at goal I really will be into single digits. Dare I dream about a 6? Or even a 4?

I am also 5'7" ish and 148 right now. I always set incremental goals--under 200, smaller than my husband, etc. I had a goal of a 12 with a dream of single digits. Vanity sizing or whatever it is, I am now shrinking out of my 6's!!!! Color me shocked! Tried on four pairs of size 6 black pants the other day (3 jeans and a pair of palazzo pants) and they were all too big. Didn't have time to go grab the 4's but the next day I grabbed my skinny Minnie 16 yr old's size 5 jr skinny jeans (yeah they ARE the ones that are too big for her and she doesn't wear much) and they FIT!

What the heck?

I'm tall with a large frame and don't want to get too skinny as I'm in my 60s. Last time I lost a lot of weight I didn't feel comfortable with it even though my BMI was a healthy 24. I looked gaunt, I had a flat bum (butt) and my bones were sticking out. I know some people like that look, but personally I don't. I was a UK size 14 then (US 12) so think I'd probably be happier at a UK size 16 (US 14).

I recently sorted through my clothes and found 8 different sizes so I've sorted them out into size order so I can get them out again as and when I lose weight. Mostly they are classic jeans, pants, T-shirts, sweaters etc so they'll be fine for everyday wear and I can treat myself to something new for special occasions if I need to.

4'9, would love to be a six 6 (or 4 at the lowest) in pants. size 6/8 in dress.

[beth_d 12]

5'9, sleeved 19 days ago and I'd say my goal size is 10/12, but really I think I would be happy to be able to shop somewhere besides the plus section.

I am 5'10", big boned, I my goal size is a 10. I still want to lose another 25lbs...OMG I can not believe I am that close to my goal weight!!! OMG! I have only bought one pair of shorts since losing and they are a size 14 falling off of me. My sister in law gave me shorts that are too big for her, I am not sure what size they are but they too are falling off of me! I am terrified to go shopping because I don't want to try something on and it not fit. I am so used to being in a dressing room trying to decide if the clothes look decent enough to bother spending money on. I put on a belt the other day to hold up my pants and the belt was way too big! Time to go shopping....yup freaking out!

I am 5'3" and all I wanted was to wear a single digit size slacks. Thought I was good at an 8, but wearing a size 6 right now.

It is hard to think about what size I will get down too. Since my surgery I have went down from a size 16W (short) pant size to a size 12 petite. I started at 226 and am at 180 today. I have went through all the clothes in my closets that I have saved over the years. With my yoyo dieting I had a range of clothes from 2X (tops) and 16/18 (pants) down to size 12 pants and size L/XL tops. I just moved up and down the range as I lost and gained weight! This time, as I have moved down in sizes, I have GIVEN away the larger sizes. No more storing the big sizes! I am NEVER going back there! I am in the size 12 pants now and wearing the L/XL tops. Problem facing me is I have not been in smaller sizes then that for years and years! No more closets full of clothes for me to migrate too! I will have to BUY new clothes once I lose more weight and shrink some more. Such a problem to have. Ha! Honestly it is very hard for me to even imagine getting into a 10 or even 8s. I am 5'0 and am starting to get comments about how "little" it am getting. Love it!

Reading each post I'm amazed! I have so much to look forward to after surgery! I'm 5'7 and my goal size is a 10. I was a 10 in high school and I felt my greatest at that size. I'm currently in a 20 and depending on the fit I wear a 22.

[Jordan861 124]

The smallest I have been since an adult was a 13 (very tight), so I can not imagine anything smaller than that - single digit sizes are like unicorns to me. In July I was size 22/24 on bottoms and 2x (men's)shirts dress sizes 22. I am now in size 16 on bottom (comfortable) and lg/xl (ladies) shirts. I was very bless in the top area so I can't imagine getting to a medium shirt unless I loose a lot of boobage. After reading some of the stories I could only dream of the unicorn - Size 8

[cutiecake 178]

I'm 5'6 and currently wearing 12s a couple 10s fit, I'm down 43 pounds since surgery, and would like to get down to sz 8. I don't foresee a problem since the weight keeps coming off

I started pre op wearing a tight 16. Very exciting!
