There better not be anything wrong with a size 12 cause that's where I'm at, haha! But like everyone else said, if this is where you feel comfortable then stay here! I just want to get into single digits cause I've never been in single digits; I want to know what it's like to be able wear anything in any store and not worry about them not having my size. It's not really a vanity thing for me, it's a "Hey let's see if I can actually do this!" thing.

Yes! that would be it for me too, just to see if i could do it but not because i could say that's the size i am for vanities sake. however with the way i lose inches (lots where i don't want to and not much where i DO, lol) i don't know frankly if i want to lose that much more at all, maybe an inch here/there

I think if you're happy with a size 12, then go for it!

(That's my goal size, by the way. I'd still like to have curves once this journey is over.)

You do indeed look fabulous. If you hadn't mentioned your age, I would have pegged you as being in your 30s.

I've had similar thoughts to yours. Other women with my stats seem to be all 4s and 6s but I mostly wear 8s and 10s (one size 6 skirt, bless you Ann Taylor!) and sometimes it makes me feel envious, as if they've accomplished something I haven't been able to. Like you, I'm trying not to focus on that and to be happy with the success I've had.

oh MY - you look fantastic! I AM one of those 4/6/8s and I promise you, your shape is better than mine even though I wear a smaller "size"! Wow.

I also wanted say that when someone says they are a "size" I don't really understand what that means unless you include the make and model of the clothing article. For example, in Lucky Jeans, I have one pair that an 8 is too big, but with another cut, the 8 was too small. So I could say I am a 6 or a 10. I am currently wearing size 4 in Old Navy Sweetheart cut. My hips are close to 40" and my waist at its max is at least 30" and I weigh nearly 140 lbs. Crazy that I can wear a 4 in anything, but I have quite a few 4s in my wardrobe. But mostly 6s and 8s. And some 10s and 12s.

Anyway, forget about the number on your clothing labels, you really do look great. !
