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

I am 5'6" and my goal dress size was size 8. Now my 8's are getting baggy and I can see that 6's and very possibly 4's are in my future! Whoo Hoo!! I never would have imagined.

So please, share your height and goal dress or pant size!

I'm 6'. I'm currently maintaining between 157-160. I've had a tummy tuck, which allowed me to get into a size 8!

Wow! I've never been under 200 as an adult so I really have no idea what weight my body will be "right" as. I can't imagine being under size 10! Exciting to think about

Honestly, I don't know what size I want to be. I've never been thin. So I don't know what would look good. Right now I'm a 14/16 on top and an 18 on the bottom. I'm 5'5". I guess I will assess that when I'm closer to goal.

I'm 5'5" and hourglass. Currently in a 10 jean, 12 dress pants. Size L on top (big boobs!)

I never thought below 10. When I was in college and at a good weight, I was around a 10. I still want to lose about 15 though, and that might turn into an 8. I honestly don't know yet!

I am 5'5" and down 82lbs at my 6mo anniversary. I was a 24/26 and now down to size 18/20. 18 is tight 20 is too big. I can't imagine being under a size 14. Ever. I am blessed to read your results!

5'6", apple. I am pretty sure that the 8/10 of my college days (early 90s) is different from today's 8 or 10. In those days I could wear a 6 or 8. I would be happy to be in a 10 if the sizes were still the same as they used to be.

Today I will be happy ending up with any single digit. Prefer a 6.

I would love to get into a size 8 and M. it looks like my surgery will be in early December. I am a major bargain hunter so I search the local thrift stores on sale days and have found clothes for my journey down in sizes. I am picky about what I buy and have managed to find pants and shirts for as low as 25 cents! So far I've not paid more than 2 bucks for anything. I have managed to find some really nice stuff most of which looks brand new.

From a size 20 now a size 8 I have an apple shape. Truly larger on top and smaller in the butt and hips.

Waiting to see what size I will be in 9 months.

I am 5'7" and am hopeing to fit into a size 12 pants at some point and maybe a size 10 dress. If I do better ten that's a bonus!

It's so great to read everyone's results and goals!!

This is when WLS gets FUN! I just bought my first pair of skinny jeans and pared them with tall leather boots and a M tee-shirt. I look cute! I can't believe I am a thin woman!!

Congratulations to all my fellow losers and Good Luck to those just starting!!

So I might be the odd one out, but I have hit my first goal and initial goal when I began was 250 and I am now 249 as of this morning. I am "5,7" and broad shouldered and full chest. So, I am right now the sizes I am currently in are 16/18/20 lol I say all three of those sizes because it depends on the brand and style. I am a defiantly a size 18 in pants. Yes, I want to loose fifty more pounds but I don't have a set size I want to get down too. I have never been a small girl so to think of an ideal size I am completely lost.

I'm 5'7" and at 148 now in a size 6 dress pants and 8 jeans. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get down to this size. After having twins, I'm always going to have a muffin top stomach unless I get plastic surgery and I doubt that is going to happen.

5'3", 24 on the bottom and 26 on top, but I've never been smaller than a 12 (and I was a kid then). I have no idea how to set this goal, but I'd LOVE to be in single digit sizes!

I'm 5'6" and I would love to just be in size 12 jeans. I am VERY bottom-heavy (see my gallery pics) and a size 12 is the smallest I've ever been in my adult life. The last time I was in a 12 I was probably 15 or 16 years old. So first goal is definitely to get down to a 12 in jeans and we'll see what happens from there.

I'm 5'2" and I my ultimate would be a size 8. I've never in my adult life made it to a single digit size so to get there would be a dream come true!

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