    started at size 24 (UK) now between a 22 (UK)and 20 (UK) aiming to reach size 14 (UK). I have a large frame and dont think I would look very healthy if I went too low. I have bought myself a dress to aim for and Have it hung in my bedroom like a work of art to remind me each morning why I have changed my lifestyle.

    size 10 UK would be good but i am going more for actually weight and bmi. Partly because a size 10 in some stores is a size 12 in others! Despite having these standard sizes the actual size does vary from shop to shop, at least here in the uk. Plus the type of clothing also makes a difference too. I can sometimes wear loose fitting dresses and skirts in a twelve but could not wear a 12 pencil skirt or something that was fitted and with jeans I have 12s that have stretched over time and 14s that are too big as well as 14s that fit me!! and don't get me started about tops matching the bottom size lol. Still it will be a happy day for me when I buy a 10 that actually fits.

    I wont buy new in that size until I am there but I do have stuff left from the days that I was that size.

    I started as a US size 10/11, now I'm a size 2, and I'd like to get down to a size 0.

    It's crazy- isn't it? When I was a size eighteen I remember distinctly going into Asda after a new pair of jeans- I tried on four different styles. Some fit me in a size eighteen, one wouldn't fit unless it was a twenty, one I could barely squeeze into the twenty- and another I looked good in a size sixteen!

    Like you, I don't buy new at the moment. My size seems to change every three-four, so for now I have a wardrobe of charity shop bits which can be re-donated when the time comes!

    I put on a bit of weight in the past couple of months and was having a hard time squeezing into my UK 10 (US6) clothes. I think I'd like be a small UK8 but I'm personally more concerned about the overall shape and tone of my body rather than the size!

    A UK 12. It's what I used to be. I had a flat stomach but quite a "womanly" body. And I thought I was fat.

    Hindsight is a cruel, cruel thing.

    I'm now size 42 in pants and about 38-42 in shirts. My goal size in pants is 36 and in shirts 34-36. It's a long way to go, but I hope I can make it! : )

    I want to be a UK size 10 in any shop (so it may be an 8 in some of the more generous shops).

    I'm a uk size 12 bordering on 10 now but some shops size 10s look like doll's clothes especially on the bottom half. I have broad hips and legs so need the lower half to shape up more before a size 10 is an easy fit!

    My absolute dream would be to fit into a pair of size 10 (UK) jeans from Topshop! Quite a way to go though, I have to say...

    lol I have quite a backside, inherited from my mother and even when I was a teenager and weighed around 7.5- 8 stone it was still there forcing me to buy clothes one size bigger than the waist size I needed!

    i'm getting to a point where i'm pretty happy with the way i look now... except on days where i feel bloated and feel like my belly is sticking out, then i wanna cry... i'm like the scale says i still weigh the same, but i look much bigger.... i drink plenty of water, so i dunno what it is. but stepping on the scale keeps me motivated because every day i expect it to be a bigger number and when it still isnt, it makes me happy

    Mine is a (US) size 4. I'm currently in a size 10 and at my high weight I was a size 16. I am hoping to get to at least a size 6 by Christmas :smile:

    Aiming for US 8-10 or so. But I might re-evaluate. I'll be happy once my belly disappears. The rest doesn't bother me. I do have a goal waist measurement though. So I'll probably just keep going until I hit it.
