    I am currently a size 8 and medium tops...I want to get back down to a size 6 pant, size 4 dress, and small tops.

    When I was fat (size 18/20) I remember saying that a size 8 is the perfect jean size. Now I'm a size 8 jeans and I still want to drop 30 more pounds. So I don't know anymore? I suppose as long as I'm healthy and don't look anorexic I don't really care what size I am.

    I've run the gamut from size 6 to a size 16. I am currently a 12 but I would be satisfied in the 8 or 10 range.

    Lynn, I feel the same way... I am in an 18 now and would like to get to a 12... which seems like so much! We can do it though!

    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 am so looking forward to stores having my size in them and not just online and also not being the largest size in the store!!

    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.


    This!! I wear roughly an 11 in juniors. Am I the only one who doesn't want to be a single digit!? I don't care about my pant size I have big hips. I just DONT want to be flabby everywhere lol

    I would like anything in the single digit, so size 9 would be aaaaaaaawesome!! That said, a size 13 regular would be great at first because I could buy in any store. Now sitting at a tight 16 :-(

    I'm super happy at a size 10 and been maintaining for almost 1 year! I never really cared about weight or getting into a tiny size. Just wanted to be fit with no flab and be able to rock a bikini comfortably. :)

    No one ever believes that I'm a size 12. Everyone guesses that I'm in the single digits. My point?

    Sizes are so strange, so wonky. I am a size 12 because I have wide hips. My hip bones are VERY huge. I'm a curvy woman. I don't think I've been in the single digits since middle school. For this reason, I don't think a clothing size is anything to strive for. Realistically, I don't think I could ever be a 4. I might not ever even see a size 6.

    Ideally I would love to be a size two, I am only 5'4, and I am currently in a tight ten but a size four would be rocking as well!

    A year ago I would have said a size 4 - 6 is in my comfort zone and not thought twice about it. Now I have no idea what my "ideal" size is? Whatever size my body is ripped with muscles will be my ideal, work in progress here. Best of luck!

    6. That is the size I think I look best. Thin but still curvy.

    0-2 right doubt it will happen with my hips now I'm a 12 but id take anywhere from 0-6. i had to have a dress taken in to a 000 years ago but then i grew bigger hips and boobs.

    I'm 5'10" and I think a size 10 would be good for me. That is what I wore in HS, and looking back at pictures I looked pretty darn good (even though at the time I wanted to be smaller). I'm a 14 now and would at the very least like to get down to a size 12. 10 is the goal though...

    Oh I so can't think in terms of sizes - as others have said sizes can be so random depending on which country, which shop, which make of jeans you want to wear etc etc etc. I am more interested in how my body feels and looks. Although I do have some old clothes I would like to wear again ranging from an 8-12! Although I see how this could be a helpful goal for some people so good luck and hope you get in those jeans soon :smile:

    I think an 8 or a 10. I looked ok in some 14's and some 12's. Now I'm in 16's and 18's and just yuck.

    I would be happy at a 10. I'm a size 18 right now. My opinion will probably change once I get to a size 10 though!

    I was a size 18 back in July. I am now at a size 12. I hope to be in a size 6-8, depending on the brand of jeans, by late this summer. 55 pounds down so far :) hope for the best.

    I'm currently a size 10/12. I would like be a size 8. Maybe a size 6.

    Last week I went into GAP and couldn't believe how easily I could slide on size 6 skinny jean. And it wasn't tight.

    I don't mind 6. I would be shocked if I made it into a 4 because I'm tall with giant hip bones and I was never smaller than a 6.
