What size are you and what is your goal size?



Recommended Posts

I'm a size 14 or 16 (depending on the brand) but I want to eventually get down to a 10 or 12. I'd be okay with where I am now if I had a Tummy Tuck, I think. I started off at a size 28.

I'm a size 16 now, down from a 22/24. I would love to get down to a 12. I am tall, and top heavy, anything smaller, and I would look very out of proportion. It amazes me that it is as close as it is...I know the hardest part lies ahead of me...but I can see it! Shopping for pants in the regular sizes is great fun already!!! Like Puddinpie, I could easily go down a size or more with a Tummy Tuck, but gotta rid myself of some more of the fat under it first!!!!

Sizes are different here, but basically I was a US 20 and am now a US 14 and would like to be a 12. I'd be more than happy with that at 5ft 10.

I'm a 22 now but i hope to be a 10. An 8 would be ideal because of the single digit but a 10 would work just fine. =)

I started in a 22/24 and am currently in an 11/12. I would love to see an 8 and think I would be close if I had the extra skin removed. I am talking to a plastic surgeon after the first of the year. We will see what he and the insurance says. ~Mandy

When I look in the mirror and like what I see, THAT will be my ideal size.

Don't get me wrong, I love where I am and how I look, I just hate the extra skin. I am having to tuck it into my pants and I have to be careful not to zip it up in the zipper. ~Mandy

I'm a 14 now from a 24/26. I am thrilled. I can't wait for a 12, but I'd really like to be a 8/10

I'm a 22/24 now, down from busting out of 26/28's...I'm in a 2X top down from 4X pushing to a 5X...

My goal right now is a 16...then I'll take it from there...I agree with Elizabeth - when I look in the mirror and like what I see, that will be my ideal size.

I remember my size 9 Lee Rider jeans and would love to get into those again!

I'm a 12/14, depends on what I'm wearing, if it's above the waist it's XL or 1x, (darn big boobs).

At my age, 56, if I lose much more, I'll have to contend with saggy skin, which IMO is the only thing that looks as bad as the fat. I know I'm much happier than I was two years ago, and I like me a lot better, I'm healthier and I think those things are more important to me than size. :)

Wow, you've all had great success so far! Congrats!!

My current size is 24. I'd love to be half that but the smallest I remember (without being a child) is 16.

I am in a loose 14 pant right now and a large shirt. I would like to get down to a size 10, which for me will be at around 145ish I think.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
