I'm in a 44 top and size 20 pants right now. I know I'm telling more here than I've ever done. My goal is to be in a size 14 and be able to wear it comfortably.

How about you?

Well I wear a size 12 on top and an 7/8 on the bottom, I would love to get back in my 5s but I doubt that will ever happen

Depending on the style and/or cut of the clothes I am either a 8 or 10 I would like to be back to a 5 or 3...

I'd like to get to a 10/12. Right now I'm in 18/20 bottoms and 16/18 tops. I have no illusions about ever wearing "fashionable" clothes again, I just want to be able to find things on the clearance racks in my size. ;)

I am too old and have had too many children to think I will ever be what I once was, I would like to be healthy and be in about a 14, I am 18 -20 now.......

Well I'm an 18 and would love to get down to my pre-pregnancy size 7! But to be realistic I'd like to be between 12 and 14!

well before kids I was a 2. Now I am a 24.
My goal is to get to around 110-120 and a size 8 (or what ever size i fit in at that weight, when I was a 2 I weighed 92, and at 4 mos pg i was a 6 and weighed 95)

I have a few more weeks and then I am a dieting diva. LOL
I was always pretty thin until my late 20's when I decided I would not put somuch energy into my appearance.
Then I struggled with my metabolism for a few yrs. Bouncing between a size 12-16. (I'm 5'8") Size 12 was ok and I felt better about myself. (not thin, but not chunky) I met Gabe at about a size 14 and felt chubby. After giving birth to Zachary I was a 16 for about a year and then back down to a 14.
This pregnancy I am so huuuuuge that I think after the baby is born I might be lucky to get into an 18. I kid you not.
I will be focusing on raising my metabolism because I had a medical reason I was unable to exercise this pregnancy and once I deliver and get the green light, I am so getting this body into action. LOL
Ideally, I'd like to be a 10 again, but it's been a lot of yrs now, so a 12 is realistic. I have no desire to be as thin as I once was. I just want to be fit and healthy and feel good about myself.
Come January, I plan to start an entire fitness and live for life lifestyle club for us all here. It will be a yearly plan with long term and short term goal planning.
Hopefully, we can encourage each other and reach some of these goals.

Sara, I would love that! I need all the encouragement I can get. I got lots of videos, but can't seem to get past day 2!

I am short (5'2") and also short waisted, so right now I look like a pear! I was very comfortable at 125-130, but the last time I got on the scale I weighed 163. I am in a 14T or a 16L, these are my sisters' sizes. 14T = 14 tight and 16L = 16 loose. The odd number sizes don't fit me right (i.e. 15/16) so at the moment nothing fits well. Except my sweats! :D

Before my surgery in June, I was a 22/24. Now I am into a size 16 petite. I should still lose a little more weight and hopefully get into at least a 10/12. That would be about where I was when I got married and would be soooo great!

I am a 24 and I am pretty happy with myself. I guess a realistic goal for me would be an 18, but I have not been able to keep off any weight that I loose so I am pretty tired of fighting a loosing battle. Trurthfully I would love to be out of plus size clothes just so I would have better luck at rummage sales and clearance racks for myself. How frugal is that!!

I am currently a 18, I was the most happy at a 9/10. I am short, but I have a mesomorphic body type. I am muscular, but I gain weight easy. I would like to weigh between 135-140 so I have got my work cut out for me... what a good question to ask!

I am a size 18, and would like to be a 12 or 14. I don't have the right frame to ever be "tiny".

I am another size 18 dreaming of being a 12! I plan to do the "loose weight/get healthy" thing starting the new year. Count me in for the club!!

Wear size 16 on a good day.:toothy:
Would love to be in a 12-14 and weigh 140-150lbs. To weigh less than that I 'd have to starve myself & I enjoy food too much to do that.:D

I would like to get back to a 9/10 but honestly I don't think my body is made for that anymore. I wear a 12 on bottom and 12/14 on top.

I was a size 2 before kids but like a lot of you I don't think that is realistic for me any more!!!!! I would like to be a 5/7 though!!

I would love to be a size 8, but right now I would settle for being a size 12.

I'm a 14 now and I want to be a size 8 again. I was a size 8 three years ago, so I know I can be again!!

I'm in an 18/20 right now. Haven't ever been below a size 14, since i got out of the little girls' deparment at age 13, and after 2 kids and 8 major falls on my rear/back, my hips have spread a bit {carrying an 8 lb complete breech around for 4 months did wonders too, I'm sure} so I don't know if I'll ever be below that size.. DH is always pointing out those frilly, lacey-next-to-not-there things at the store, and I tell him 'maybe your next wife will be that small.." but I hold a 14 up against a 20, and I think h###, that's a big change in and of itself, why stress anything lower? If I do get lower, great. If not, I've come a heck of a long way.. {though I do have a pair of 36/30 doe-brown Wrangler Boot Cut jeans hanging in my closet that I wore pre-#2.....

ok sizes REALLY confuse me lately because of what i have that fits and what doesn't etc..like I have a size 7 pair of jeans i can't button, but yet I am wearing a size 3 that is loose..and a pair of size ones I can zip up but yet they are hard to walk in ..

so, i'm not sure what actual size I really am, but I'd love to fit in those jeans that are size 7 and size 1 ..I guess I yoyo a lot since I used to fit in those size 7's quite nicely two months ago..

argh i hate sizes

I am an 18 but would love to be in a ten again but would be VERY happy with a 12. I am very short so you can guess how much I weigh to be in a size 18. I will start Jan. 2

I am a twelve now and would love to fit in a pair of 8s I have...realistically, I just want back in my 9/10s comfortably!

I really want to shape up and tone up!

I am a size 20 right now I would love to be back to a 14 or 12. I am just not meant to be a really skinny person.

I wear a size 8 or 10 right now. I guess it depends on the brand. I want to get back in my 6's comfortably! I used to wear a size 3 a long time ago....after DS#2. After DS#3 I wore a size 6...which was ok. I found myself being less motivated and gaining a few pounds here and there.

Size 10 would be my ultimate goal - 12 might be a bit more realistic.

I gave away two pairs of my size 16 jeans last week. :yippee:

I am 5'8" and am a 20-22 top and a 18-20 bottom. 11 years ago I was a 9/10 but I will be very happy to be a 14
