Question What realistic size would you like to wear?

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?

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 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

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!
