    I was a 10 the last time I was at my goal weight, but that was before I'd had kids, and I was a lot younger. Not sure what size I'll be at when I hit my goal weight anymore. I'll be happy just to be able to buy beautiful clothes that I have to walk past now because they don't come in my size.

    i'm currently a size 16 but I would LOVE to be a size 10. I'm not sure if I will be able to reach my goal or not. I have wide hips and a butt so I might have trouble finding the right jeans if I were smaller. How did you lose to 2 pants sizes?! That's awesome!

    thanks i cut out bread and cut down my portion size the weight has just dropped off :)

    unsuperficial take: i don't care about size so much as i care about the way i feel and look in and out of my clothes. in other words, AWESOME.

    superficial take: a size 6.

    My biggest size was a 22-24 (whoo) that hurt to type. I am currently in a 12 and I have a few size 10 pants that I can fit into (hard work and exercise) this has been a long two year journey. My goal is 154 because the computer told me that would be a healthy BMI so if that is the case I would like to see an 8 if not I would be please with a 10 and very toned.

    Have a blessed day and good luck on your goals!

    I am a 16/18 and would like to be a size 12 also. My reason is so that I can increase my chances in getting pregnant. Keep the good work sounds like you are well on your way. =)

    I started out a size 12 or XXL in tops. I now wear a 6 and S or M top, depending on the style. I like my size right now and I don't really care about getting to a smaller size, I just want to lose some random fat I still have left...tummy, underarms, etc.

    I started at 14/16 UK sizes, but suffer from IBS so 16s for when bloating was an issue.

    I am currently in size 12 ish UK sizes, I have some size 10 items, but I tend to go by jeans sizes because I have bigger hips and tummy so I take that as my biggest size.

    I would love love love to be able to comfortably buy size 10 UK jeans, which would probably translate to size 8 in some dresses and other things, but for jeans definitely a 10 :D

    I'd love to be in a size 10, maybe size 8, always have been a size 14-16 since my high school days. I believe I'm close to a size 12 I believe.

    I'm currently a 20. I'd like to get down to a 12 which is admittedly very large for my height (5'2) but I've always had thick thighs and a thick butt. Of course if I can slim those down I'd like to be like an 8 or a 6.

    When I started four months ago, I was a size 10/11, and now I am wearing a size 9! When I was 18 I managed to get down to a size 7 for the first time in my life. I still have those pants I used to wear, and every time I see them it gets me excited for the progress I'm making! :)

    size vary so much more than they used to. i wish all clothing companies were under the same standard. i have lots of weight to lose but can wear like 3 different sizes now.. most of all i want a healthier, happier more confident me BUT having said that a 14-16 would be great number wise.. WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    I know that as time goes by I would like to get to and stay at a size 8, but I would like to for at least a time get into a size 4. Specifically a size 4 skinny jean.

    Never thought about what size I want to be. Was at one time a 18 now 12 pants.
    Just happy I can bend over and tie my shoes without getting winded.

    10/12 pants, M shirts. Reason: I only just recently put on the weight, so all my clothes are sized for when I was 180, not 200. I'm cheap and don't want to buy a new wardrobe. I'm currently a size 14/16 and a L shirt.

    And if I get smaller than that, bonus.

    I'm 6'0 tall and I was in a tight 16 at my highest point, now down to 14. I think I would feel best in a 12. I want a size/weight that will be realistic to maintain.

    I'm shocked at how many grown women want to fit into juniors clothing. LOL! They are for little girls who haven't gone into puberty yet or have had children. No room for womenly curves. :-D March on over to the misses...I think you'd probably fit into even a SMALLER size! :drinker:

    I started at a 20, now in a 16. I would like to be in a 12, but the number 8 is in my head and will not go away! We'll see, maybe the Lord is telling me that is where I will end up, as long as I can sustain it I'm cool with it! This is for life not just for a couple of years like last time!...Determination

    I have always wanted to be a 6, and I have always been an 8 or 10.

    Now I am a 4 and very happy with it! And I even have one pair of size 2's but for most brands its a 4.
    I want to lose one more inch in my waist. I really have my eyes on specific measurments now instead of a number on a scale (or clothing tag)
    Its great to see all the success people have had going down! Buying smaller clothes is always fun!!!

    "vanity sizing" leads us all to believe we are a smaller size :wink: Sizes have increased right along with our inflating waistlines.

    Check this old dressmaking pattern chart out for laughs: http://www.simplicity.com/images/downloadablePDF/SIZE_CHARTS_English.pdf

    A women's size 4 in the old days equalled a bust of 29-1/2 inches! I haven't had a 29" bust since age 14, yet I have plenty of "size 4" in my closet! Thus, clothing size isn't the greatest indicator or *fitness*

    Well...way back when I was 110 pounds(at sixteen) I was in a size six. At 149 I"m in a size 8. I sure believe in vanity sizing! WTH!
    Anyways, since I have 15 lbs I want to lose...I'm sure I'll be in a size six again. 25 lbs heavier than last time I was in a size six.

    Soooo, I don't know what to think about the size of clothes. I think fat percentage is a better gauge.

    I'm 5'10"

    I started like this:
    Pants - 24W
    Shirts - XXL
    Dresses - 20W
    Skirts - 22W
    Bras - 44F

    My goal was Size 12 pants. I would have been happy to stay there but as long as I am healthy I don't really care what weight or size I am, although I really don't want to be thinner than I am now - just more fit.

    I passed my weight goals and, thanks to a combination of a large bone structure, narrow shoulders, and an hourglass figure, I am all over the map with clothing sizes now.
    Pants - mostly 8, some 10
    Shirts - Small or Extra Small
    Dresses - 6
    Skirts - 6 or 8, with one random Size 4 skirt that fits perfectly - don't ask me how.
    Bras - 34DDD or 32G
