What's your pant size goal?

This is going to sound crazy or just plain silly maybe..so sorry. I started changing my eating/fitness habits when I was spilling out of a size 12 and refusing to go any larger. I was happy with size 6, but my fav number has always been 4 (this is where it my sound dumb) so my ideal size is a 4 simply based on the number (yeah I know..crazy). Currently I'm maintaining and I wear anywhere from a size 0-2. Zero I would say is not my ideal/goal size for several reasons. I always thought you had to be under weight to wear that size (not true btw) and I really don't like that number (again..sounds silly). So despite that fact that I can no longer wear a size 4 without also wearing safety pins, my ideal pant size is still a size 4 Basically my goal weight and goal pant size don't match lol!

I'm 5'9 and am currently a size 12, i want to be a size 8

I think I need weight counseling rather than to reassess my goal weight based on how I feel. The fat girl brain has kicked in (so, a slightly flabby [yoga-practicing, c25K graduate] 41 year old size 6 is starting to seem "big")..... I like the clothes I bought last year, so I'm not sure I want to be smaller, just less jiggly. More dense?

I'd like to be content, so I guess that's my newest goal: contentment, regardless of weight/size/number/etc.

My goal is a size four/six, because I have a small frame. I started out as a 12 and I'm an 8 now, I don't have too much farther to go.

My goal is about a 10. I'm 6ft, so I think I'll look nice at that size.

I am also 6' and actually wasn't sure what size would be right on me!! LOL When I saw this question I was hoping someone tall would have an idea!! I can't remember back to those skinny days of what my pant size was!! Thanks!!

I'm confused about this one. I'm 5'10" and wear between a 4 and a 6. What does your height have to do with your jean size except that you just need a tall or extra tall in the length? I'm not trying to be a stinker, just wondering why taller women automatically assume they need to wear bigger sizes - I know we'll weigh more than a shorter gal, but does being tall typically mean bigger framed?

I'm 5'2' and fitting into some 6's now. I'd still say I'm a solid 8. I would have said 6 was perfect but looking at my body I've still got a huge mommy belly to lose. I think when I get to goal I might fit in 4's.

Bone structures vary in size and density from person to person, regardless of height. So at 5'10" with a small frame, you could be a very healthy size 4/6, whereas at 5'9" I would look absolutely emaciated in a size 4/6 , because I have a completely different frame. I am large framed and a size 12 is the lowest I will go.

One easy way to determine your body frame size is to wrap your thumb and middle finger around the smallest part of your wrist. If your fingers overlap = small frame. If your fingers just touch = medium frame. If your fingers do not touch= large frame. This isn't an exact science...merely an estimate. :-)

I'm 5'6" average frame and currently in a size 14 and it's tight. I'd love to get into a size 6 but my goal for now is just to get out of the double digits and into a size 8.

I would actually one day like to be able to wear a size 12 because I can't ever remember wearing a 12. I know that I did at one point in my life, but it has been over 40 years ago.

Okay - this makes sense. Thanks. I can actually overlap my wrist up to my knuckle! But, my fingers are REALLY long - I guess it's all relative? :happy:

lol i agree. i'm 5'8.5", and I can wear a 2 or 1 lol

I don't have a set goal weight either. To me, inches lost and overall health is what matters. I'm slightly under 5'9" with a curvy large frame. I started at a size 20, and am currently wearing a size 14/16. My goal is a comfortable size 12 (haven't worn this size since I was 14!!).

The only problem I foresee in aiming for a 'goal size' is that sizes vary so much in clothing, even from the same line (ie. I have a pair of pants in a size 16 which fit comfortably, and yet I have another pair in size 14 which fit exactly the same way as the 16's). So I have goal measurements to avoid that problem. :-)

Ah good point - I should have said "size 6 in designer jeans" -- which would be a 4 in a lot of other jeans.

I'm about 5'2.5" and my goal is a 6....which I haven't been since early high school. If I could get down to a 4 that'd be great, but I don't know if that's possible for my body type (although my sister is a 3/4 and my mom finally hit 5/6 after three pregnancies). Oh, I'm currently a 12/14 on the bottom and much bigger (apple-shape) on the top.

I would ultimately like to be a UK size 12, or maybe a comfy 14. I've been a 14 before and was pretty happy with my figure. I don't think much smaller would suit me, but a 12 would really be great...

Could someone please clarify the difference between US and UK sizes? I've looked it up but there's loads of conflicting information. Is a UK 12 equivalent to a US 10 or US 8? Also, I've seen people talking about a size 12 vs a 12W - what is the difference? And what is all this about juniors sizes? It sounds like people ared talking about children's clothes but that can't be right! So confusing.
