    I'm 5'3 and currently a 5/6 but I'm not satisfied, it's more not satisfied with the flab I still have, so I'm still working on that. If I get to a 2 and it looks good then great. I doubt I'll ever get to a 2, I can't really imagine that anyway, I think my hips won't allow it.

    I'm 5'4" and weigh 150. I used to weigh 120, & was comfortable, any smaller & I'd lose my chest & hips & butt LOL! I just want my old body back...I was hurt back in Feb, & all the sudden without realizing it I was 15 lbs heavier, & at THAT point I was in the process of losing ten, so I decided to go all out & just redesign my lifestyle. I'll still eat healthy & exercise daily once I reach my goal! For me it was a lifestyle change. AND I was only in about a 5/6 at 120. Big boned I guess...:P

    ha ha how is that big boned? i am a current size 14 and 197 lbs. last time i was a 14 i was 150. lol me personally i don't see being 5/6 at 120 being big boned. lol just my opinion. lol

    Only if you are a child. My daughter is 14, a size 0, and weighs 130 pounds. But she is solid muscle from being a ballet dancer and taking ballet classes 5 days a week.

    I don't think size 2 is right for most adults, unless you have a super small build.

    I'm kind of tired of hearing the whole skinny vs. curvy thing-you can be skinny and have curves, just as you can be overweight and with little shape. Fat is not curvy.

    When I began my journey, wearing a size 34W, I could not even wrap my head around the idea of what size I might be when I got to my goal. I had hoped for a 14 and thought that a 12 was pure fantasy on my part. I have now reached goal and wear a size 6 or a size 8. Honestly, if my excess skin were removed I would likely be a size 4.

    That being said, please hear this - it's not about the number!! It's about being healthy and able to live life to the fullest. I was never shooting for a size, but for a healthy BMI. I just wanted to be normal.

    ha ha me. i could never be a size two even if i tried. my goal is to be at least a 10 or 12.....if i can get to 7 then awesome. but no lower than a 7.

    Since our bodies are similar, u might be surprised how far u can get. U said u were 197lbs in a 14 down there. I was in a slightly big 15 at 185. I'm now 138 & in a an 8. I can button a 7, but it gives me muffin top, so I refuse to wear it lol Idk exactly if I can b a size 2, tho the pants size doesn't bother me, i just want my body fat% lowered & wherever that puts me I will b quite alright. But I think it will put me pretty small. My coach is n a 2 & she's 128lbs & her hips are only 2in smaller than mine. I guess we'll just have to see.

    I have hopes to get into a size 6-8 by the time I get to where i am hopefully headed. At 5 foot 2 1/2 I want to go back to about 130 lbs. This is the weight I was before I had my kids. I want to feel stronger than I was in high school, which means more muscle, but I want to not have the jiggly fat hanging around my midsection and my back. It is just uncomfortable to me. I want to be comfortable in my own skin. When I was a senior in high school I was just under 100 lbs. I know there will be no way I can get there ever again, but the added muscle is the reason why. Curves are certainly necessary in a body that is like mine, also. Best of luck to all!!!

    LOL if you are truly curvy, then your curves still stay the same whether you're a size 2 or a size 20.

    I am 5'4.5" and my target size is 8-10ish (weight 165ish). I may end re-evaluating when I get there. In reality it is whatever size it takes to be be reasonably happy with my waist size or really waist appearance. ;) But I know there is a limit one how small I can be, somewhere above size 4. I tend to have more muscle.

    Goal body fat percentage: 23% or so.

    Based on those online calculators, my lean body mass is some where between 130 and 145......and that puts my target weight around 160-175.

    So true! My mom was a skinny mini pear (18 inch waist in her 20s) and a bigger pear (she's a size 8 now) now.

    You'd have to be extremely lean to lose all of your curves if they are "natural."

    My ultimate goal is size 8/10. Really working towards more muscle and tone, once I get the fat off!

    Idk how accurate those online calculators are unless u have calipers, which I dont :( Least not until my Chalean extreme arrives. BUt on teambeachbody it has a body fat test that goes by ur waist line, weight, sex & age. It says I'm 25% body fat, which I kno is not accurate. Lean weight 104lbs & fat weight 34lbs.
