Not everyone will look good in a single digit. My sister is 6'2" and very large frame. If she was an 8, she would look sick!

There is NOTHING wrong with wanting to be 10-12ish!!! That is very realistic for us that started at 26/28.

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.

Welll.. I'm 5' 7" and weigh 306 lbs. I currently wear 24 - 26 in pants and 22/24 or 26/28 in tops. I don't remember sizes that I wore during high-school or junior high... Seems like I went from the half-sizes @ Sears as a little girl (seems like they called them Huffy sizes?, that can't be right) to Lane Bryant with nothing in between. So, even at 6 or 7 years old, I couldn't wear "normal" clothes. I would love to wear a size 8, but I'd settle for not having to shop at big-girl, plus size, women size stores.. Can't wait to get my band!!!

I don't think it's realistic at my age to try to be a size 8 again......but a size 14 would do me. I've been thin all my life until I hit menopause. The last 10 years I've been over weight. I'm 5'5" and 270.5 lbs now. Yikes!!!!

I started in a size 24. I'm now three months later in a 16. My goal is to be between a 6 and 8.

I was a size 8 for most of my life except the last decade where I hover around 14/16 or 1X. I want to get back into some rock-star clothes again like black leather jeans. I had some in college that I wore out! M an I was HOT back then!

Wow outstanding weight loss in 3 months. I hope I can do as well when I get my band.

Ok since I'm a 32 now .........anything smaller....30....28......no really 18/20 is ideal.:faint:

I'm 5'11". When I started out I was in 20/22W bottoms & 2X Tops.

I now fit (pretty darn comfortably) into Size 16Long Jeans from American Eagle & Old Navy. The boobs haven't gotten smaller (only longer) so I'm in XL or 1X shirts.

Because I'm in the big-boned sisterhood, I can't imagine I would ever be any smaller than a size 12. But, that's what I'm shooting for!

I just wish my feet would shrink a bit more!

I started a 24/26 and I'm wearing 14/16 now... would love to be at least a 10 !!!

I was a 22/24 and now I am a 14/16 I would like to be a 10... never been a 10!

[Marimaru 7]

I started in a 22/24 (very tight 22s).

I'm currently a 16/18 (but I don't buy 18's, )

I would love to be an 8. I think that would be ideal for me. My sister has a similar frame to me and looks a little too thin in a 6.

I started out in 24/26 and can now comfortable fit into 16/18, and some 14s ...I am on the short side...so it is going to take me some time to get into the smaller sizes. I am like Heather P, I think I was in 16s when I was in elementary school...so I really have no clue where my size will end up. I am tempted to go look for some 12s just to see if I can find some that fit. It really depends on the maker..because I have a pair of Levi's jeans that I still can't get into very well and they are a size 24...what is that all about??

I am 5'7'' and am 16w and 1x or xxl tops. I would like to be a size 8 again and large top! I am getting close to 14's...

I'm another tall one who wouldn't know how to wear something in single digits. Well, my underwear is finally in the single digits, does that count?

I started in the multi-XXXs and 28/30/32 range. My "goal" is to be able to buy clothes in most clothing stores rather than having to seek out specialty stores. That probably won't ever happen unless I lose several inches in height, though.
