edited October 6 in Health and Weight Loss
So I am cruising through the posts and noticing peoples goal sizes. So many of them are 4-6. I only want to get down to a size 10/12. or maybe even a 12/14... I will know when I get there.

so is there anyone else not wanting to be in the single digits? Just curious to see if I was somewhat normal?

Thanks,
Ronney

    I will be very happy with a 10/12, and have no plans to get smaller than that. I don't think my hips would allow it even if I did want to go smaller. LOL

    I would love to be anywhere from a size 12 to 14. It is much better than a 24. I am already down from the 24 thank goodness. I am in the 20 right now. But still looking to go lower.

    Is it because you don't WANT to or you don't think it would be comfortable to maintain that size at your age/weight/activity level? Or is it because you think you could never be as small as an 8?

    Well I am in UK sizes, and I would like to be a 10-12 which I think is 6-8 US. I started this at a UK 16-18 (US 12-14) and I was very overweight, my BMI was over 40 so that can't be good for you, plus I looked awful.

    If I were in single digits, I would be underweight! My goal weight actually just changed because the nutritionist where I worked said it was too low based on my body fat percentage (I have 122 pounds of lean mass, so weighing my "ideal" of 140 would be too low!). My goal is to be comfortable with who I am, and I imagine I'd be happiest with a 10/12.

    My goal size is 1-2. I'm currently a 3-4. I'm 5'4 but I have a small frame. It all depends on the person. It's about being HEALTHY, not "thin".

    My goal will have to be in the double digits (seeing as mens sizing is done by inches). I don't think a goal of a 9 inch waist is achievable :tongue:

    Haha, can I just say how jealous I am of men's sizes! I hate it, the sizes aren't consistent. But with inches... kinda hard to screw that up.

    I would love to be a 10/12 or even a 14/16 :) I am a big boned girl so I don't think I could get any smaller if I wanted to... but I LOVE my curves... and I think I am the only girl happy that as I am losing weight my butt is getting bigger lol... I seriously had a huge butt but it was flat... and now it's filling out and getting round and I am super excited about that!! lol :D

    nope, i don't WANT to. I don't need to be smaller than that. That is where I was when I got married, and I look at my wedding photos and dang I looked good. I was curvy in all the right places, and I was HOT...

    So, uhm, yea... 10/12 is perfect. Maybe even a 12/14, will know when i get to that bridge.

    I would like to be a 12! I am 6'0 tall and I have a large frame. Anything lower than a 12 and I start to look skeletal.

    My goal is a 9. When I was at my goal weight years ago that was the size I wore and I honestly couldn't have gotten too much smaller or I would have looked terrible. I think alot of it has to do with how your body is built. Some people have larger frames and could never be a 4 or 6.

    Right now, I can wear a size 10 from any store in any brand. I can wear the occasional size 8, but I've found most size 8's are cut way too narrow through the hips for me. I've actually been wearing my boyfriends pants/shorts since summer and found they are much more comfortable than women's pants!

    Right now I wear a size 32" jean - but they are too loose and need a belt. I wore his size 30" shorts in the summer. I would love to be a 28".

    I'm 5'4" with a medium frame. Most women my height want to be 120lbs or less - not me. I'm currently around 145lbs and have recently decided to try and get down to 135lbs. We'll see though. If I look too thin - I won't be afraid to gain the weight back to where I am now.

    I am also 6 ' tall and would look emaciated as a single digit dress size. I am aiming for size 14. I'm almost there!

    Ummm...yes! When I was a 12 I weighed about 165 and I'm only 5'5". I was playing tennis 5-6x a week and felt great. That was nearly 30 years ago, however. So I'm setting a goal of size 14 for now. I would just be happy to be able to shop in a "normal" size range :)

    Thank you all. I am glad I am not the only one who wants to get down to where I am not comfortable because society says so:)

    I just turned 42. I think a size 10/12 or 12/14 is most appropriate. I will still have curves, its age appropriate, and MOST OF ALL... its a healthy weight range for me:) I am NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING!

    So Thank you all!!!! I know its doable. I'm a size 18/20 right now. So I try and think of it in sizes... my next size down would be an 16/18, then a 14/16, then a 12/14... then a 10/12. How awesome is that!?!

    I would be perfectly content with a legitimate size 10 and I'm only 5'3". When I was in high school at my lowest weigh I was an athletic 135 and was in a size 10 in jeans and within the heathy range for my height. I think it is just how my body is.

    Yea, there are different weights for different people. And what weight I am for a size 12 may not be the weight you need to be for a size 12.

    Thank you for all the encouragement everyone! I love you guys;) woohoo! It makes me feel normal:) thanks!

    I don't really have a goal size. I've never been a thinner adult weight that I am now. So I have no idea how small I can get. I will be happy with anything below a 14 in jeans so I can wear juniors sizes :)

    Interesting question. I've never though of my goal in terms of a size, or a number. The only reason my goal is 175 is b/c MFP needed a number for my ticker, lol. But seriously, I feel that as I changed my habits, whatever size I get to will be good, I think we all can manage single digits and feel healthy/normal
