Wow! This is a fun question:clap2: .It gives us a chance to think about our future fabulousness. When I was 17 for a breif moment I was a size 5 and weighed 117 lbs :faint: Well everyone in my family thought I looked to thin. But everyone outside of my family thought I looked great, as did I . I am a size 20 right now, and I am only 5'3. So I have no clue what I should wear :) . But I think I would be happy in a size 7-10. I have a medium bone structure and look nice in a 12. I would love to wear a bikini someday. Well I don't know, all I know is this was fun to think about:madgrin: .

I started out in a 22/24 Australian (20/22 US). I now wear a loose 14 Australian or a tight 12 Australian (12/10 US). I'll be satisfied when I can fit comfortably into ANY size 12 Aus or 10 US, instead of just some of them.

I'm not really a single digit kinda girl *shrugs*. I've always been curvy and want to stay that way to some extent :)

I just want to be the size that lets me walk without pain and feel comfortable. I would love to be a 14 again, but will be happy with my health.

Why is everyone here shooting for 10-12'ish? Why not single digits? We have the ability to be as skinny as we want. Why not shoot for a size similar to the people you see laying out in the sun in Miami or Malibu. Come on people, imagine being a size where you fit in with the people getting a sun tan on the beach. That's my goal, I want to be a size where I can run around the beach in a pair of shorts and not be embarrassed.

I hear ya! BUT I am 6'2 and in a size tight 24 now. In high school I was a 16 and SKINNY!! I played Basketball, softball, and vollyball. After three 10lbs babies all c-section with in 4 years, I would be over joyed if I got in an 18 comfortabley!!! lol (With a nice new set of perky boobabages)lol I want to be in a size where I stand out because I'm Tall with great legs again, not stand out because I am FAT!!!!

I am almost 5'8" and I currently weigh 216. I am in mostly 18, 18W,some 16 and 16W. I have never been in a 16/16w in all my adult life. I do agree sizes are a bit larger. Single digit sizes for me would be incredible. Realistically, at my age, a 10/12 might do it. I'm still gonna go for single digit though. At this point I am more jiggly in an 18 than I was at 22 years old!!

Hey everyone :wave:

I want to get in on this one....:D

I have wanted to lose weight for such a long time...so I have had a lot of dreams along the way....

Now at 53 years, being 5'10" and having a large bone structure....

I started at 311.6 lbs....wearing size 30 slacks...(and they were TIGHT)

and 26-28 tops....as you can see I carry most of my weight in my hips and fanny... only needed the larger size tops to cover the hips....I would always have to adjust the seams of garments....so I made most of my clothing....

My dream is not to be some skinny-minnie...

Right now, at 239... I am in 18-20 W tops...and 22/24 Tall Womens slacks

I want to be able to go into a department store and get a size 16 pair of slacks...I think that I would love being a little smaller, but to be able to go into a store and take something off the rack and it fit....now that will be the day for celabration....:clap2:

Blessings, Debbi

I started at 311 lbs, size 26/28 or 30/32. At surgery I was 261 lbs, size 24. Now at 245, size 22. I'm kind of short with average bone structure and I want to wear a 10 soooo bad. My baby sis wears an 8, but she is upset because she WAS in 6s. Think we'll ever really be happy with our size? Maybe no woman is...

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
