    For a long time it was size 10. When I was at the lower end of my 20-lb "yoyo" range, I fit comfortably in a size 10. This summer I lost more weight and was able to fit into size 8 in a lot of brands and have a few pairs of size 6 shorts and jeans. With vanity sizing and other inconsistencies between styles and brands though, I don't think you can get too hung up on the number.

    For reference, I'm 5'7". I think height and bone structure/build (hips, chest, etc.) have a lot to do with one's personal ideal too.
    For me, I was 128-132ish lbs comfortably wearing a size 8 (or sometimes 6). When I wore a 10 I was usually hovering around 139-145ish. I thought about continuing to lose weight after hitting 128 because I still had more of a belly than I would like (disproportionate to my thin arms and legs) but I knew I was thin enough and just need to work on toning and strengthening.

    I bought a pair of jeans from Hollister when they were on sale for cheap, size 5 long (I'm tall and always have trouble finding lo g enough jeans no matter what size I am). Pretty much I want to fit into those jeans and have a 20% body fat percentage. Of course I also have other arbitrary numbers as my goals but after monitoring my lean body mass, I've realized that I probably won't know what my goal weight is until I reach it just because I gain muscle without even trying (one week I gained 3lbs but lost an inch and a half off of my bust, hips and waist).

    Nowadays? I guess a 2, maybe a 4. Hard to tell with the vanity sizing. Ten years ago it was a size six, twenty years ago, an eight.

    It is all relative I guess. I would be thrilled to be a 12, and I am pretty sure I will stop losing then. I can't imagine me in a single digit size. I still want to have boobs and a butt.

    I'm almost 5"10 and am currently in a 10-11 but would love to be in 8-9. Usually a medium in shirts, but a small sometimes.

    Size 6. I've been that size most of my adult life. I'm 5'8" with a small frame. Eventually I'll get back there and fit into my clothes comfortably.

    It depends on what jeans/pants I have on, etc..

    Currently wear 16-20 in jeans (depending on brand/fit, etc) In tops, depending on the top, I wear either a large or 1x.

    I'd love to wear between a 12-14 at the moment. Once I reach that goal, if I still feel I need to lose more weight/aren't happy, I'll continue to lose weight until I am at a healthy weight and whatever size that is, I'll be fine with it. In tops, I'd love to wear a medium.

    I'm at a 12-14 now and am hoping to get back to an 8. Although, a 6 would be really nice. :smile:

    It's doable. I was an 18 in June 2013 and am a 10 now with one more pound to lose. So, OP, my ideal size is a 10.

    I think your height should be a factor, to be a size 2 you must not be that tall. Being 5'8" I am not happy being a size 6, I felt I looked healthier in a 7/8.
