    Re: What size are you? Whats your goal size?

    I was size 18 in September, I'm 14-16 now. It's weird that I'd fit in a size 14 pants, but with another pair of pants-same size- it's too small.

    When I did Atkins in my early 20s, I got down to size 4-6. I think I could get there again, it'll just take time. I have a medium bone frame, so I don't think I'd get any smaller than a size 4.

      Depending on the garment I can sometimes wear size 18 and sometimes 20... I was size 22 when I started this WOE and a tight 22 at that. LOL I would like to fit size 12 someday. I never have been smaller than that in my teenage and adult life.

            I was a 7x and now I'm a small/medium (which would be an X) depending on the cut.

            I am currently in a size 6 sometimes 8 jeans depending again on the cut.

            Don't ever give up...believe me.....losing the weight and becoming healthy CAN and WILL happen if one puts the effort into making this way of eating their life (as well as exercise...they go hand in hand) and no matter what... don't ever ever, ever, ever give up....even when we find ourselves in some deep valleys along the way.

            I would never have dreamed that just over a year and a half ago...walking around weighing well over 400 lbs (wearing a tight size 7X stetchy pant) that I would be walking around this year wearing a size 6/8 pant and a small/medium size top.....I feel truly blessed.

            Keep it up everyone, it most certainly can be done and YOU deserve great health and much happiness!

            Congratulations to EVERYONE for making the decision and commitment to take this jouney in achieving great health, you're doing awesome!

                    Re: What size are you? Whats your goal size?

                    I am a 20-22 on the bottom depending on the style/make and a snug 2x/comfy 3x on the top. I am very busty so I would be happy with a L/XL top and would love to wear a size 12 on the bottom. I can't remember being smaller than that in more than 20 years. After I reach these goals I may re-assess and aim lower.

                      Re: What size are you? Whats your goal size?

                      I started around size 16 (tight), sometimes size 18. I am currently a loose size 10. I have been buying some size 8 pants (depends on the fit) and just starting to buy size small tops. My goal is to be a "solid" size 8.

                      I remember wearing size 7-9 in high school, so it has been a long time since I have seen single digits.

                        Re: What size are you? Whats your goal size?

                        Time to speak in "man talk." My dress shirt size is 18/18.5" (depending on the maker), with 35" sleeve length. My pant size is 44".

                        My goal is to get to 17/17.5", 34-35"; I want to buy 38" pants again.

                        There, it is public now so I am, therefore, accountable.

                          Re: What size are you? Whats your goal size?

                          I was a 22 when I started back in 2004. I got down to a comfortable size 12. I am back in a 14 right now. I still wear some 16's because I am not buying new clothes yet. My first goal is to wear ALL of my 12's I wore back in 2004. Then my ultimate goal would be to be an 8 or 10. I have never ever wore a 10. Even in high school I was a 12. Sizes are so different now. I weighed 155 and was a 12 in high school. When I weighed 175 I wore a 12 in 2004. So...we shall see.

                          I hope we all can post when we get to buy a smaller size. It is an inspiration to see others success

                              My ultimate goal would be a size 10. Even at 5 foot 6 when I was 125 pounds and what people described as skinny my pant size was only a 9-10. When I was in my best shape from doing Body for Life at 135-140, I was in 9-10's also but a size 6 dress. My tops were small though. I do not think that my body is cut out for too much smaller on the bottom. In my best shape my hips had very little fat on them at all, and you could see the hip bones. My thighs were solid. I looked good and was comfortable there.

                              I am currently in a size 14 but loose, starting to fit into 11-12 and my shirts I can buy mediums.
