What size are you and what is your goal size?

I started off as a size 24...I'm comfortably wearing an 18 now and would like to end at a size 14 (I'm tall and large framed, so I know that anything smaller is unrealistic for me).

I'm kinda tall (about 5'9" with my hair fluffed up, LOL) with a curvy, hourglass-ish figure.

The Past: my initial aim was to get out of Plus Size H-E-L-L :) into wearing an easy Misses 14/16 that wasn't a Womens Plus Size.

Now: My Size 12 pants fit OK, depending on the brand. What's keeping me out of smaller bottom sizes is my thighs. I think that with my ample thighs (Uh oh, I smell Thigh Lipo, or "Thi-Po" :) coming!) I look better in Misses Size 12's better than Junior Size 11 pants, which are designed for slimmer, no-curves body types. Junior Size 11's run snug if not downright tight on the bottom and kind of big on top. Some body-sculpting by a dedicated Plastic Surgeon will help get my boobs up, and my thighs down. :biggrin1:

The Future: My Ultimate Goal is to be able to wriggle down to any designer's Junior Size 9 (Which on me should look like I wear a Size 5/6 or 7/8) . I want to keep my curves but I want to wear the hip trendy brands. Then, I can finally buy the overpriced $180 jeans (like these) that only go up to size 9 or so. Or even better, to squeeze into the coveted, rare Japanese designer jeans that cost $500 or more, per pair. See some here. Oh yeah. I know. What a glutton for fashion punishment, I am! :rolleyes

I currently weigh 250.8.

I need to weigh 150.

I hope to be banded in late January.

I need to lose 100 pounds.

I just realized I started every sentence with the word "I".

Wow. Self-centered? LOL!

My largest size was a 24 in September. I can currently wear size 18 jeans comfortably. My smallest adult size was a 14; I remember thinking I was so fat then. I'm shooting or a mini-goal of 14 and then I'll reassess.

My sister, the optimist, is saving her 8/10s for me. Hey, you never know!

I was size 16,18, or 20 when I started (depending on the brand). Definately a larger size on bottom and smaller on top.

Now, I wear a 12 on top and 8s on bottom. Don't think its cuz of breast size - lol - my chest, shoulders, and arms are still big.

I'm a 14 and I guess my goal size is a 12. Or a 10. We'll see when I get there. 5'9' for what it's worth. I started at a size 26/28/

:clap2: :wow2: That's what I want, and I only just realised it, when I read those words. For too long I have been obsessed by the numbers, kg, calories, clothes sizes etc. I want to be happy with me. Thank you!

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

I'm currently a size 18, but I have a dream to be in the single digits sizes. I'm getting the band in January so I'm dreaming big. I want a size 4! But I would take a size 8.

5'6" = 235 pounds currently.

Goal = 135 pounds - but would take 150!

I am just getting so excited about the whole band procedure, I can't believe this is really going to happen for me!

I used to be a size 34-36:eek:

Now I'm a size 18 and loving it....I would be happy with myself right now if I, like someone else mentioned, didn't have all this extra hanging skin to stuff into my clothes!! Sometimes I just look in the mirror and imagine how many sizes smaller I will be someday when I get the excess skin removed. Massive change I'm sure!

My goal however is to be the same size as the AVERAGE American woman....Size 14;)

      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.
