    I consider size 8 to be perfect for me. I've worn a size 6 before, but I was really too thin at that time.

    Eh, I can't think in terms like that because sizing is so super wonky all around for women. If you make your emotional well-being contingent on being size X but you try on jeans that look amazing on you but are size X+2 because that line runs small or whatever, it only serves to make you crazy.

    I just want to look good in clothes that fit me... I don't care what the size is. Sizes between brands vary so much that I wear a 2 in some things and a 6 or 8 in others. That being said, I'm happy now and I don't have any idea what size I actually am. I don't even know what my measurements are.

    I would like to be a size 6 in jeans, but my hips will probably never let that happen :) A comfortable size 8 is my goal atm. I'd like to fit into medium tops and dresses!

    Currently in a size 18W. I would love to get back to size 8, but would be happy at 10 or 12. Even 14 would be better than 18W! I don't want to go any lower than size 8.

    Ideal for me? Size 6-8 (US). With my build that would put me in the healthy category by every measurement I've seen.

    I would love to be at least a 8. In my adult life, I've never been in the single digits.

    At 5'8" I'm shooting for a size 8-10 in general. I can sometimes pull a 6-8 in skirts and dresses but that never happens for pants because of booty.

    Edited to add currently sitting at about a 12.

    Uk size 12 in jeans would be amazing. I think that's about a US 8?

    It's not about a number for me, but where I feel and look the best. That said, I would like to drop 2 more sizes.

    For most of my life (teens to mid 30s) I wore 2X and 3X, sizes 20-22.

    Right now I'm in 16 and XL, pretty much. Still wear some 18 and 1X but can get into 14s in other stuff.

    In the long term I honestly don't mind being 14/16 and XL. I can't picture myself smaller than a 12 and honestly not sure if L tops will ever happen due to my build, bust, etc. Perhaps.

    I am currently a loose 18, so maybe a 16? I would love to get into the single digits or even a 10!
    I never remember being that size.

    I will achieve that goal!!!

    I'm currently a size 10, down from 14/16 when I started. Ideally, I'd love to fit a 4, but would be happy with a size 6.

    Currently size 10 maybe? 29w/32L would like to be a size 8 ....lowest I have been was size 5 and that was kinda too small for me I wouldn't want the wind to blow me away

    I wear a 4 now but since the holidays I'm closer to a 6. I think 4 is my ideal size. I've been as small as a 0 (I'm only 5'2) but everyone thought I had an eating disorder.

    My sizes have jumped back and fourth for a few years now between a 13 and a 9. I would like to at least get back to a size 9 but my goal is to eventually get down to a 5 or 6.

    I want to be a size 12 and maintain that indefinitely. I'm a 14 / 16 at present so I think I can do it. The holidays haven't helped and I gained back four pounds. I've gotten down to an 8/10 before and was very skinny - but typically I'm a 12 ever since high school. I think I just need to drop back to that number and work on staying there.

    Jean size depends so highly on brand that setting goals by it is pointless. I happen to like the way American Eagle jeans fit me. I'm in their size 4 right now and happy with it. I'd like to drop a little bit more fat from the thighs, love handles, and stomach though. If that drops me to a size 2, I'll be sad because then I'd have to buy new jeans.

    I'm in a comfortable 10 now, down from a 12 (a few 14s) when I started. I would love to get into an 8 but I'm not sure how they'll work lengthwise (I'm 5'6"). I don't hate being a 10 but I still have some weight to lose before I get to my goal so we'll see!

    Oh, and I want to not hate myself in a bathing suit. That's almost more important than a jean size to me.

    12. I don't want to be tiny I just want to be fit. Side benefit - It would be nice to not always have to wear the biggest size in the store.

    I can go to 3 different stores and fit 3 different sizes so it is hard for me to pick my "ideal" size. My size right now is size 6 thru 10 depending on the brand (US sizes). Size 10's tend to be a tad loose, but work great for work pants. I would like to lose another inch in my waist and hips, but I am happy with my size now.
