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 shorty....4' 11 1/2. I wear a size 4 non-stretch jeans...size 2 if they are "stretchy".

I weigh 123 pounds.

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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
