What size are you aiming to wear?

My goal is a comfortable size 2. Reason why. Plus size clothes are freakin expensive and hard to come by in my area. A size 2 jeans would cost like $10 to $15 where as I go to the plus size section the price is double to $20 or $30. Talk about fair treatment -.-. Smallers sizes are waaay cheaper and thats what my wallet likes...along with my health. So I bought a medium sized dress and size 2 pants that I plan on wearing. When I can fit those then I will be at my goal :D

Whats your goal size & why?

    When I was 167 in July I wore a 15-11. Now I'm in a 9, which is nice. I'm only 5"1' so anything larger than a size 3 will be long on me. But realistically, I'd like to be a 7.

    That's a good question. I'm a 16/18 right now and shrinking but would love to walk in a store and wear a 10 but in a perfect world I would love to be back to a 5. I definitely agree with the price of plus size clothes. They also are ugly.

    I'd be happy with a size 6. A size 4 would be even more super awesome, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to the 6's.

    OP, there are a lot of sizes between a size 2 and "plus sizes" (plus size is generally considered to be a 16 and over for marketing purposes). At what size are you seeing a major difference in price for essentially the same garment? Could part of it be that very small sizes like 2's are the least in demand so they go on sale a lot?

    Back into a 6. I got all the way down to a size 4 at one point, but that was a very unhealthy weight for me. I’d rather be a six. :]

    A loose size 8 in jeans would suit me just fine! Being 5'11'' I don't want to be too small. I'm a 10 right now...sometimes the 10 is a weeee bit too tight. So probably about 10-15 lbs to lose.

    I'm 5'10" and I think am a 16/18 right now. (210 lbs). I would love to be a 10/12. At least then I could go to stores and pick out clothes I like...not have to settle for the stuff that fits me! My biggest problem is length! A 34" inseam is not long enough. I need about a 35". Most women's clothes come standard with 32", where "long" is 34", and "petite" is 30".

    Over 60 pounds gone! Started wearing a size 22 pants. Currently most size 10's fit me although some are baggy and some tight. 5'7" tall and 150 pounds.

    I do not want to go to a smaller size. At my age 63 on October 8th the weight loss made me look way older and more wrinkles. I have the flattest and most beautiful stomach though...go figure.

    Boobs look like the sacks they came in. I was always flat chested and loved being so. Gained weight gained boobs and hated them. Now I could tuck the sacks into my waistline. GRRRR...it is not pretty.

    I am a nudist so we are pretty comfortable in our skin. I have to remember that my heart cares less about what I look like and more about how hard it has to work to keep me going.

    Best to you all from Oregon....GO DUCKS

    Size 2-4. I'm fitting into about half of my old size six clothes, and I still have 28 pounds to goal. I figure 2-4 is fairly realistic.

    I need to get back down to a 10/8 because I have almost $400 worth of jeans in my closet that are going to waste. A 6 isn't totally out of the question, but 8 is ideal for me.

    I'm a 2 or 4 depending on the brand. I started out at a 14, so I am thrilled. I'm 5' 7" and 125.

    Size 7 again, about 35 more pounds for that to happen.

    Started in a 22, currently a comfortable 12 but some 10's fit (some days). I've never been below a 10 in my adult life so an 8 or a 6 would be awesome!

    I've lost about thirty pounds so far, and today I was thrilled to get into size 10 dress pants, down from my tight 14s. I'd like to eventually get into a size 6, but for me it's more about the scale and the measurements, as well as how I feel. :-)

    I currently am a size 18. I have been a size 12 all my life until now. I would love to be a size 8. A size 8 just seems like a perfect healthy average size to me and i'd also like to get out of the double digits!

    An 8, because that is the size of most things in my closet I would like to wear again.

    I'd really like to fit back into my size fours. I have a bunch from when I was thinner a few years ago, so I'd like to get some more wear out of them! I'm 5'2", and I remember still looking curvy and it being easy to maintain at a 4. My goal weight is based on the weight I was in that jean size. I guess I wouldn't mind going one size lower (who wouldn't?!?), but I can't imagine having to buy all new clothes!

    I want to be a size 8. I thought I looked pretty decent when I was in that size. I wouldn't mind being a size 6 but I feel any smaller and I'd be bones.

    I am 5'7 with a large bone frame.

    Size 4 all the way around! I have one pair, but I'm pretty sure it's vanity sizing.
    The one downside to getting smaller: As an avid sale/clearance shopper, I'm having a lot more difficulty buying clothes in these smaller sizes.

    I'm taking this one in stages. My first goal is to be able to be comfortable in existing size 16s. Next step is being able to walk into an average dept store and being able to fit a size 14. This will be (haha) HUGE for me :). No more buying ugly over priced nasty polyester clothes from about 3 stores! My final size goal is a comfortable size 8. Single digit heaven :)
