It doesn't make sense and it all depends how much muscle and what shape you are. I don't really have a goal size at this point. I'm way off the charts with weight versus size so I have no idea what that looks like for me.
I'm 5'5.5" an wear 14-10 at 163! You must have model shaped bones woman! - Tall and skinny!
At 210 I was stuffing myself into a 16.
At around 180 my waist was 35 inches and now at 163 it is 32 inches - however, my waist is very defined and I know that some people just are not shaped the same way. People are different. Some women carry more weight in their stomachs and some have tiny waists and wide hips. - So I think it is good to set a goal but maybe (since the number you need is difficult to find) you could just use BMI for now (I would use the high end of the range for starters), or a clothing size and then you can see how you feel when you reach that. Personally, I had to do something else. I started running and I focus much more on my running goals than my weight loss goals. As long as I am eating on plan, I try not to stress the weight loss numbers and just focus on training. HTH
