    I started at a 26 (gasp!). Right now I'm between an 18 and a 20. I have no goal size...I just want to be fit and healthy.

    I'm starting today and I am a comfortable 18. Looking for motivation and support as I have tried and tired on my own but has fallen off the wagon. Looking forward to going on this journey with all of you :)

    I'm a 22/24 dress size. IDK if that counts. In pants I'm about a 16 but in shirts I'm like a 3x.

    EDIT:

    I have a really big stomach, but my hips are fairly small

    Started in clothes that were all too small for me at 24/3X. Elastic waisted 24s and loose unfitted 3x shirts from Land's End (runs big). Now am in 3x sweaters that look very nice and loose in a good way (Eddie Bauer, runs small), 2X Land's end pants and a Talbot's sweater (runs true to size). My fitted 24 pants and jeans all are 24s and are all too loose, but I'm not buying until they fall off me! And wore a 22P London Fog raincoat yesterday that I haven't been able to wear in 15 years (can't imagine how it never ended up in the charity bin, but glad it didn't!). Can wear my work appropriate jackets now (24s--my arms were too big for them, now they fit in the arms and are a bit too big in the body).

    I can see the loss in my face/neck and in my abdomen/waist in particular but notice it in my clothing in my thighs/butt most of all. It may seem like a lot of weight to lose to only be down probably a size. But the difference between shoving yourself into clothes and being able to wear things that fit loosely is huge.

    I was a size 28/30 when I started. I'm down to a 22/24 now. (It depends on the brand.)

    You can do it. :)

    I started out as a very snug 24 (refused to by pants any bigger) and am now a comfortable 8.... It takes a lot of hard work, but you can definitely do it.

    I started at 22 ish (UK sizes) I was in denial and refused to buy anything bigger, so the clothes were tight, very tight. Now I'm a loose 16 or tight 14 (so probably a 15 if they made that :happy: )

    started at a 5x top and bottom in scrubs, size 28 pants now down to a 3x top and 2x bottom for scrubs, and a 20 in jeans. started my new lifestyle almost 8 months ago. It can be done, The thing I continue to remind myself is that it took me many years to gain the weight so I need to give myself time to lose it! Slow and steady. This site is very helpful lots of people in the same spot as you! Here is to a healthier happier you!

    I started at a 24/26 back in May of this year, wearing 3X or 4X tops, at 310 lbs. I have lost 45 lbs so far this year, and am now wearing 22/24 size bottoms and some 2X or 3X tops. Part of that is the way I carry my weight (most of it in the tummy/mommy pouch area) and part of it is the sizing of the clothes. I had lots of clothes in my closet that I bought that said they were size 24 or 3X, but fit more like a 22 or 2X. So, they didn't fit me at all before. But now, I am definitely wearing some smaller clothes, but some of them are still marked the same size as what I was wearing before. That doesn't really bother me, because I can see the change in my shape, as my mommy tummy doesn't stick out (or hang down) quite so much as it used to. I still have a long way to go, but I am excited to see the changes that I know are coming if I keep working at it. I want to get down into a 10-12-14 like some of these other great success stories in this thread! You are all amazing to me!!!

    I was bigger than a size 24w when I started, I just refused to buy bigger, so everything was stretched to the max. I can wear 16w or 18 in misses (in pants), but I'm a little bigger in tops. I'm excited that soon I'll be able to go into any store and buy something that would fit.

    I started a tight 24 and am currently a comfortable 18, hoping to get into a 16 soon. Oh I can't tell you when the last time I've worn a 16 was....
