    Im 5'5" with a goal of 165-170ish. I havent really set a firm goal. Im just going to see where it takes me. However, I dont believe I will ever hit below those numbers. Ive never been fit/thin/whatever. Thats not what this is about for me.

    some of these posts are soooo funny !

    I am like the girl who totally went from birth to size 14 (maybe 16) and have struggled for forever !!!

    I am reasonable -- I'd be happy with a 12 honestly. I feel like its attainable and manageable. Size 2
    I'd never eat again

    lol, size what????????? Girl no size 2 is for 9th graders......I am a real woman!

    Oh and this is just plain offensive. Some of my tops are US size 2s. Am I not a real woman because I'm naturally quite petite?

    I don't want to be a size 2 and not sure as I ever could be again. I was 98 lbs at 20 but then packed on the pounds when I was pregnant and had cancer...lots of stress eating. I am 5'3" and 138lb (today, lol) and my original goal was 135 and now I want 125, lol. The thing I want the most though is a boob job if I can ever get to the point of affording it :)

    I'm 5'10ish and very large boned.
    My grandmother was a size 16 with size 10 feet so from a very non-scientific genetic point of view--- there's no way I could possibly be a 2 or wear a size 6 shoe. PERIOD.

    Ideally, I just want to be a firm, tone, healthy 14 so I can FINALLY go to this one designer consignment shop and not only shop the handbags but shop the clothes too. :)

    Me, I'm aiming for a UK size 12, so I think that's a US 8.

    I'm a guy, currently wearing size 34. I'm thinking my backbone has more than a 2 inch circumference, so no, I won't be going for a size 2 anytime soon. I'd need a saber saw. On, and to be dead. :laugh:

    Seriously, though, women's clothing sizes utterly mystify me. How can a "size" be expressed by the number zero? :noway:

    It's like Starbucks, a universe where there is no such thing as "small", "medium", and "large". It starts out a lie (no, that coffee ain't "tall" in anyone's book, sunshine) and then starts to use fancy foreign words to hide the fact that you are paying $1.50 extra for a "medium". LOL.

    It's because no woman wants to say she wears a 24 or whatever is equal to a 4/6 - it's all marketing. That's all it is.

    And If you'd understand the meaning behinds starbucks if you knew the company was started after an Italian journey. That's why they use those names.

    I've never been a size 2. I was briefly a size 6 but I usually was around the size 8/9 back in the day and that's where I would love to be!

    Funny thing is I was probably never happy with an 8/9 at the time but now I wish I was that size!

    Everyone is different so a size 2 might look normal for someone and then unhealthy on someone else. I think its a form of discrimination for you to say size 2 is a bad thing. Would you say a size 22 is a bad thing? Then whats stopping you from saying a size 12 is not healthy, or a size 30? Seriously, worry about you.

    I am aiming for a uk size 12 - especially in Jeans. I'm 5'5 and my target is 145lbs ( the top end of the normal range of BMI) My family have large bottoms so I know that I'll never be tiny in the trouser size.

    My weight loss goal is 175 too. I definitely don't care to be a size 2.

    I'm not interested in a size, I just want to be more toned. Sizes and numbers on a scale are easy, if not incomplete, measures of success. I'd rather lose inches because that means I'm toning. If the scale doesn't budge, so be it.

    10 to 14 is where I'd like to be. If I float down into a 9 I won't be upset. Less than that, I'd look sick, I'm afraid.

    I started at 5'6 and 202 and a 14/16

    I am now 177 and a 12

    I would like to be around 155 or around an 8.



    I've never been a 2.. I think by the time I got big enough for the juniors department I was in like a 5 or 7.. and that's been YEARS ago!

    I am also 5'5" and I started at 185lbs and am currently bouncing between 161lbs & 163lbs. My goal weight is 135lbs, because currently my curves are rounding outward rather than inward. At 135lbs I would be in about a size 9/10. But right now I would settle for busting out of the 160's.

    I started on here a size 18...I am now a size 6. I was 232 pounds and now I'm 134 pounds I am also 5' 5". I still have a little muffin top to lose. I like being a size 6.....I only hope to lose the muffin top.

    I have zero interest in being a size 2! Honestly - I don't have a "size" in mind at all - I want to be healthy and feel good every day. I'm about 5'8 and I started out at 274lbs - my goal is to get under 200lbs. Once I get there I may decided to reevaluate, but for now - I just want to be around for a long time and I know that being healthier means being lighter and more active. Anyone who feels the same way - please feel free to add me! :)

    I've started out at 5'6 & 205 lbs, a size 14-16, aiming for 145-155, which if I remember correctly was a size 9 me. I'd settle for a size 11 at this point but I want to see if I CAN get to size 9 and still look good.

    At this point I would just love to be a size 9. I started at 241 and I now weigh 210. I would like to be 150 pounds one day. My size 20 jeans are falling off so yesterday I braved the mall and tryed on 16's and 18's but they were tight so I am going to wear dresses for awhile.

    I'm 5'3" and looking to get to 145. I got to that weight a few months back, but, gained 6 pounds back. I want to fit into a size 8. I can button a size 8, but, I get severe muffin top. Right now I'm wearing size 9-11.

    me...me ...me! <waves hand in air>

    I have NEVER been a size 2, and I was only a size 4 for about 2 months. I would LOVE to be a size 8, but I haven't been there is 17 years...I'd be happy with a size 10 or 12. Right now, my first goal is to fit into a skort I bought on clearance about 2 years ago--it's a size 14 and I haven't even taken the tags off yet.

    Truthfully, I will be ecstatic if I get to 145. I may be short at 5'2", but I am not meant to be a twig....


    ETA-- I have curves too--I wear a 38 or 40 C/D ( I need to go get measured) and had 36 or 38 inch hips before I got pregnant the first time.
