    All US Sizes --I am my wild easy to maintain size in my maintenance range....at age 55 and 5'8" and 128 pounds, I am happy with my size 6 (NYDJ) and 8(Ralph Lauren/Gloria Vanderbuilt) Jeans. An 8 blouse/blazer fits fine. I do have a couple of a-line skirts that are size 4, but that is just because of my waist size and I think bad manufacturing!.

    I like buying clothes that are fitted, not tight, and most 8's are that way with the exception of a few. I do find that if it is a "loose fit" in tops or dresses, in general, a size 6 fits better.

    I started in size 22, I'm currently an 8 and my goal is to be a 4. My life would be perfect if I wore a 4. :)

    I started at a Plus size 22 or 2X. I have lost 50 pounds in total and I'm currently wearing a regular 14, usually a ladies' Large or sometimes but not often a Medium.

    I have 25 more pounds to go. I'm thinking I will end at a size 10 and Medium but in the past few years I have learned to not care what size the clothing is and instead to choose what I like in the way it fits me. If I only get to a 12 or if I end up an 8 I won't care as much as I love the way I look in the clothes I choose.

    I honestly don't care about sizes. Any size is different, I still can fit into a 48 IT (16 UK) but also into a 46 (14 UK) and sometimes in a 44 (12 UK). Sizes are just crazy here, I'm happy right now because I can fit in most clothes I can find in the stores, I managed to avoid becoming a "plus" size and I don't have to worry that my size is going to finish for first. This doesn't mean that I can fit anything, but at least brands now realize clothes in my size, and for all of the other plump, not average girls out here.

    Also, shirt sizes are even crazier here.

    I would like to stay a UK 8. Some places an 8 is too big for me but only a limited amount of stores seem to sell size 6 and I don't want to be limited for choice!

    15 years ago I would have answered size 4. After 9 years of marriage and two kids later I will be happy with an 8 and tighter body. Currently a mushy 10. I have learned to love my curves and have realistic goals.

    I was a size 14 I'm now a size 6. After a bit more fat loss I think I'm looking at a size 4. Then back to bulk up to a size 6 HOPEFULLY.

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

    I'm in the same boat. On a recent shopping trip I unexpectedly fit into a pair of size 10 jeans (after wearing yoga pants exclusively for a couple of years). I'm really looking forward to 8's. Maybe even 6's?!

    Fabulous that MFP is an international site. With that said, which size do you want? UK, US, Italian, Continental, French as they are all different. For me after having lost some kilos, I now wear 36 pants and 40 top as I have healthy breasts. Also depending on the market the clothes are made for will depend on how big they run. When I order stuff in the U.S. I always go one size smaller as the sizes run larger etc.

    it is very hard giving one size as you have to take so much into consideration. My clothes dream would be to be able to find a pair of jeans this year which is not made of stretch material.
