    I will never be a 2. Ever. My booty just won't allow it. A size 6 would be nice. Currently a size12??? I haven't bought pants in.....3 years? Lots of skirts though

    There are so many people saying 2,4, and 6! I'm surprized at that. that seems so tiny! I got into an 8 once, but it was too much work to stay there and everyone kept commenting that I looked sick. I got up to a size 22 and was pushing a 24, so now that I'm in a 16 I'm over the moon. I would like to eventually be in a 12, but as long as i keep losing i'm not worried at how long it takes.

    For me it would be probably a 6 but I'd be happy with a size 8 or 10. Right now I wear a 16/18 depending on who makes the jeans:frown:

    My ideal size jeans is a size 12. Right now I'm wearing a very tight size 14...should be a 16 to be comfortable.

    The highest I've been has been a skin tight size 16. I'm still in a 16 now, but it's no longer skin tight!

    My first goal is to get down to a 12. I know I have quite a few pairs of 12's that I stocked up on and then immediately grew out of and never got to wear. Might be nice to actually wear some of them for awhile if they still look good.

    My sister is a 7, I think, and she is quite small. So I can't see wanting to be any smaller than an 8, ultimately. I think I'll feel like I"m doing good at 8-10.

    Why not buy clothes that fit and look good instead of relying on an arbitrary number that has been inconsistently placed on a label depending on factors that have nothing to do with your best body?

    When I started I was a size 14 and now I'm a size 12 (size 8-10 dress though). Two years ago when I was doing really well I made it so that I just fit into a size 8 and I knew I wanted to lose more, so ideally I think I would like to be a 4 or a 6.

    I'm currently a size 18 (uk sizing), but can fit into some size 16 clothes. Sizing is so different dependent on where you shop. Plus, since having my daughter, my boobs are huge (tmi, I know). So i'd say i'd be happy in a 12 :)

    I joined MFP with the goal of getting to an 8, and that seemed like a stretch goal. Now I'm fitting into some 0s, 2-4s for sure. It's crazy! I think it's got to be due in large part to vanity sizing. Today's 2 is probably yesterday's 8.

    Definitely. I'm 5'9" and 140 lbs. There's NO way I should (properly) be a size 2, or even a 4. And especially not a 0 (hello Gap!). It's totally ridiculous.

    For me, (short with a small frame), its hard to pinpoint an ideal size. When at goal weight/body size, I wear a 0 or 00 in most misses brAnds or a 0 in juniors. I find European sizing to be a bit more consistent, and there I would like to be a size 32.

    I go by measurements more because its consistent.

    Currently fitting into 38 and 40 men's size jeans. 36's are a bit uncomfortable but liveable and actually look pretty slimming and nice.

    I really don't know what my ideal is. Numbers are just numbers. I'm guessing my waistline won't shrink below 30, if I even get THAT low. I don't have a lot of fat on my waistline, but rather my upper body, which is where most of the next 80-100 pounds is going to be coming from.

    I've yet to meet someone in a size 8 that "looks sick". People say that because they are used to seeing you at a particular size. An (American) size 6 or 8 is not tiny.

    Very true. People around you see you everyday so they will say you are too thin. My family does the same when Im at 125lbs, but 120 lbs is where I am suppose to be. I am 145 and they say I look great lol. I, however, dont feel great. Be your own judge and do what makes you happy. ;) Stay healthy

    7/8 although I am happy at 10. I went right from kids' sizes to a 7/8 so I've never been any of the in-between sizes and don't think I should. I also think as women get older, the skinniest ones tend to look older in the face so now that I'm 40+ I'll deal with some booty fat to get some face fat padding. When I was a size 8, I knew I did not want to lose more.
