I can't wait to fit into small sizes

  • I remember in middle school being a size 12. That's the smallest I remember being where I cared about clothes. Ever since then, my size has been increasing. I just can't wait until I lose enough to fit into small sizes (my dream size is a 10, which is a good size for my height).

    Anyone else not used to being in small sizes and can't wait to get there?
  • I was in small sizes when I lost a lot of weight before, but it was near long enough!

    The smallest I have been is a 10, and those were tight. Right now my goal is 170lb, which would comfortably put me in a 10 (I think) but I want to try to go smaller than that...but one step at a time!
  • I personally can not wait! I feel like I'll feel so weird when I get there though, since I feel I've been this way since I can remember.

    Should be exciting!
  • I've never worn regular sizes, always plus.
  • I'm with the previous post on this one - I've never in my adult life worn a 'normal' size. Even when I did Atkins 10 years or so ago and before kids, I lost 25 pounds down to about 215 at my lightest, and that put me in a 16-18 pant.

    I would DEARLY love to wear size 14 pants (my upper body is considerably smaller - probably a 14 or close to it now) and be able to buy pants anywhere! But it would also feel weird to me as I've never ever been able to shop at non-plus places.
  • I haven't been in anything below a size 10 since college (so 7+ years ago) and even then I still wore a lot of 10's. My goal is to be in an 8 or below but it's been such a long time since I've worn an 8 that it's hard for me to imagine.
  • I honestly don't ever remember wearing a smaller size. Even in high school I wore an 16/18 (Of course sizes have changed so much since then! and I'm STILL in an 18, and bigger than I was then!) So I can't WAIT to be able to wear a size 10....or maybe even an 8!!
  • I am 5'4" and weigh 162. Some size 12 pants fit me well and some are tight. But size 10 is long long way to go.
  • I use to wear a size double 0 when I was a freashman in high school then I was a 3/4 when I graduated high school. I'm not trying to get back to a double 0 (ugh). I looked sick.
  • I would love to be wearing a size 7 or 5! That is what I hope to get into when I reach my goal and tone up my tummy!
  • my goal is non-plus sizes. I am top heavy and thick through the middle so I'm hard to fit in general and wear much different sizes top and bottom. 1X on top and a 15/17 on the bottom as long as it's low rise - my hips are small enough to fit into that size but I'd never get it anywhere around my waist if it was high waisted. A misses 16 doesn't really fit my waist either but is too big everywhere else.

    I'm not sure how it will play out in terms of fitting into a non-plus sized top - there is still a big difference between a 1X and a misses XL so I think I'm looking at another 25 lbs minimum for that move, and I'd prefer to be no bigger than a large if possible (as long as it's cut with enough room for the girls!). So I could end up with some pretty crazy small number on the bottom in order to be the size I want to be on top! Not necessarily as small as others might want but if I ever got into a say a 9, that would feel crazy small to me!
  • I cannot wait to fit into smaller sizes! The smallest I've ever been in my adult life is a size 10, and that only lasted about a month before I gained like crazy. I would love to know what it feels like to have a size in the single digits!
  • Smallest I have been since Jr high was a comfy 18 tight 16. I'd be awe struck to get into a regular 16. Hoping to be in my 18s by thanksgiving!
  • GreatPerhaps, you'll get there. So will I. It will take awhile, so just keep plugging along and don't give up.

    Maybe next year....maybe the following year....but it's doable....

    Once all of us get to our goals, then we go into maintenance to stay skinny.
