My goal is a size 10. I'm in mostly a 14 right now but then there are some 16s and on 12 that I can wear. I plan to find a designer that caters to my body and makes me look smokin' hot and stick with that. I have a small waist and hips/booty bigger than I like so I have to keep working to see where I land!

S/C/G: My starting with is at 255
Height: 5'10
my goal size is to be maybe 10 since im a size 18 now weight at 251 -lost 5 so far- and 5'10. I want to be able to put a pair of pants anyway. 18 is not easy to find unless I shop in the Ncity or Torrid, dots, rainbows, ect. And online haha beyonce's jeans are good but the nice emblem on the pants they have also comes apart easily.
I don't really have a goal size, but I do have goal jeans! I lost alot of weight when I was 18 (in a very unhealthy manner) and then gained it back and then some over the last six years. So I have lots of jeans that are way too small. I'm happy to say that I fit into my first goal pair a couple of weeks ago, which was especially exciting since I bought them the day after Thanksgiving 2008. It's great to know that I have reversed two years of weight gain already. When I bought those jeans I was so upset with myself for needing to buy them, my other jeans wouldn't fit. Now I'm working on one of those pairs. They currently will not button, even lying down, but I know that someday they will fit, and even be too loose. My ultimate goal, though, is to not have any old jeans to fit into, because even those are too big!
Honestly it is so hard to tell sizes, especially if you're not close to the end of your journey. I don't know how I will lose weight, if I will shed a bunch of sizes or just a few, whole losing all over... Who knows. When I was my goal weight last, 160, I was a size 14. Given the vanity sizing changes, I think that would be a 10-12 right now.
I honestly don't care what the tag says, I just want to look good in my clothes. That will probably be between 140-150, if I can get down that low, and should be maybe a misses 8 or 10? Hard to say. I just want to be healthy and not have clothing bulges that are too bad
Also I have found that no matter what my size is, if I love something & there is only one or two on the rack, or just one in a consignment or vintage shop, or on eBay, or if an online catalog is running out of certain sizes in a particular color -- they never have my size. It's like Murphy's Law. Now the 1Xs or XLs are all they have left. And I remember a time when I'd have killed for that to be the case, and was angry everything was just XS, S or M.
Yeah, no kidding. Right now I'm in a size 12 Levis (my standard) if I buy them new. I suspect I'll end up in about a size 8, but honestly I don't know for sure. The prospect of single-digit sizes boggles me and sometimes I hardly dare think it possible.
Before I gained weight I fit comfortably in sizes 11-13 (yes, junior sizes because after high school is when I gained weight). I just want to be able to fit into those pants again, even if some of them are probably quite outdated!
So I guess my ultimate size goal is 10-12.
I don't have a size goal right now but when I started out, wearing a size 10, my goal was to fit back into a pair of size four black jeans I had bought the last time I lost a bunch of weight. The jeans fit after the first twenty pounds and after another five they were too big.
My goal right now is to get rid of my stomach pouch and have a completely flat toned abdomen. I'm hoping the last five pounds will do the trick but in another thread someone (sorry, can't remember who it was) posted that her 4'10" 92 pound daughter has one, so who knows?
I've been wearing the same brand, same style of jeans for years (Old Navy brand, Flirt style). I started at a tight size 18 in those, and my goal has always been to get down to a size 8. Am a loose size 10 right now in the Old Navy jeans, and I've got some size 10 Levi 505s that fit perfectly.
Knowing others goal weights and sizes got me into a lot of trouble with my self confidence. I'm an 8/10 pretty much across the board but you'd never know it looking at me. Most people think I weigh 10 lbs less than I do an am a 4 or smaller.
All I can say is it took some serious soul searching to know that an 8/10 is perfect for me and if someone my same shape and height is smaller it just doesn't matter.
I wear a 4/6 or a "small" in most clothes lately. The two pair of jeans(I hardly ever wear pants, I wear skirts 99.9% of the time) I own are size 6's. I usually buy/make skirts in 4/6 and if in SML sizes, small and sometimes medium. I buy 22" corsets (corresponds to waist sizes, but no, I most definitely do not have a 22" waist xD You subtract 4-6 inches from your waist to find corset size).
As for my goal, I hope I'll be in the 4 end of 4/6 sizes, maybe even in some 2's, and ideally my corset size will stay the same.
