Hi, I'm 5'8" - 5'9", depending on who is measuring me. My goal is a slim size 8, no matter what the scale says. Since I haven't had surgery yet, maybe some of you can tell me if setting a size goal, rather than weight goal, is realistic. I am solid and will weigh more than I look, so rather than not hit a goal, like 140, for example, I'd like to enjoy a size and not worry about the number of pounds. Thanks!

First of all a goal of a size 8 is unrealistic. Being solid well that is another reason why size 8 might not be who you will become. What you need to do is enjoy each day with the loss of the weight going down and allow your body to dictate to you where you will land in the end. I am 5'7" depending on who is measuring me and I take a 14 in pants and a large in shirts. I know that I will never be an 8 and really don't want to. What curves I have I hope they are still there.

You must concentrate on the journey instead of the lbs. It is a long road with ups and downs and already you are making goals that just might not happen. Please enjoy the ride and worry about what your team says....

I'm 5' 8" and wear a size 4. I'm 145 pounds.

It was not a huge struggle to get to this weight from my high of 280 pounds.

[sassypants 674]

mine is whatever i end up as lol

i never set a goal neither did my docs i am down over 200lbs total i have belly thigh back and butt skin but as far as my size now goes i am pretty good uk size 16 (us 14 we are 1 size up from you guys) mostly leggings and elasticated waistbands i can go as low as a 8 knitwear i like a 18 sometimes a 20 to layer under it.

if my belly skin was gone i would be much smaller in dress size but you can;t really see it in my clothes i just dont go tighter for the bulge factor lol

[sassypants 674]

just wanted to add i looked up height and weight for my height 6ft and its seems crazy small to me its a range of 140lbs-177lbs.

i am mostly skin and bones now to go down a further 60+ lbs seems crazy underweight to me

Awesome I'm struggling now with these last 17 and noticed I've been eating more but I believe that I am eating more because I'm working out a lot. Again congrats that's a job well done
