goal size

superToots

Many of us bitch about our weight, so I'm curious what your goal size is. And if you are willing to share what size you are now

superToots

I'm an 18, but would like to get back to a baggy 12 (my college weight) and stay there!

Hollylb3

I'm a 14, would like to be a 6-8, I think. I've never been there, so I'm guessing. I was down to a 12 in the fall, then the holidays hit. Haven't recovered.

joyfullyfound

I'm size 2 or 4, depending on the clothing brand (essentially, awkwardly, size 3?). I'm happy here

dmartin726

I voted 2-4. Before DD I was a 4 and I would love to eventually fit back in that side of my closet. That being said... I'd be happy to be a 6 too.

hayleydeee

I'm about a 6-8 now, but would be happy with a 4. I haven't been that small since before I was pregnant though, so it probably isn't a realistic "goal" per say... more of an "I wish".

Spin313

I'm a 14 now and would be happy just getting back to a 10...an 8 would be a "wish" size.

This is me too

Chapter79

I'm a size 8 now, and want to drop maybe 10-12 pounds.  That will probably bring me to a 4 or 6, which is where I'd like.

bhuffman

I'm a 4. I used to be a 0-2, and as much as I'd love to get back there , I don't think I ever will. That was pre-kids, exercising twice a day. I just work really hard now to maintain being a 4.

ariel06

I'm between a 12-14 and would love to be a 8-10.  I don't think I could go smaller than that with my post kids body and be healthy.  

jensriot

I was an 8, now a 4. I'd like to be back to 0, but I'll be happy at 2. I don't think my hips will ever squeeze back into a 0.

magentawarped

I don't have a goal size, just a goal weight. Pretty much, a smaller size than I am now.

This is me, although I'm more 14-16.

jesselayne8

I was a 14 post babies and now I am down to a 10. I am really short so a 6-8 would look better. I was a 2-4 when I got married but that is too hard to maintain.

soexcited317

I'm a 12/14 but would love to be a size 6/8. I think 8 is probably more realistic and sustainable.

cactus5

I am a 4 or 6 depending on the brand, but am about 12 weeks pregnant now.  I would like to get back down to a 4 after pregnancy.

zbeesma86

I'm an 8-10 now- depending on brand. I wouldn't mind 4-6

caybeh

I was about 4-6 depending on the brand. I hope that I will go back to that again after this baby.

fivesecondrule

Would like to get to a 10. 

Arnegard

I am usually a 10 now so I voted 6-8.  I would stay on the 8 side of that.  I am with Hav and have a larger frame.  155 is about the lowest I can go and maintain it, which is an 8 for me.  I am 5'9" and very athletic as well.

bumpuser794640

I'm currently between an eight and a ten, and I chose 6-8 on the poll. But I'm more concerned withh how my body looks and feels than the number on the tag.

Lilly&Co

Normally I am a 4, I did not gain too much with this pregnancy. I would gauge I am maybe an 8 right now. I am wearing maternity clothes right now, jeans at least.  I have a small frame and am 5'8 usually weigh around 130. I was a double 0 in high school , that was a little much. I was way too thin.

emeraldanchor

I'm currently between an 8/10. But would really like to be a 6. I don't think I would look good smaller than that.

sunnydays99

I'm between 12 & 14 right now. I'd like to be an 8.

jillyjill1026sr

I'm a 14 and want to be a 10.

new+tothis

I'm an 8 right now. I'd like to be a 2-4 (which is where I was before I had DS and then again before having DD).

This for me too.  

Rink08

I'm in a 10 right now (started as a 22) and my goal is a 2-4. I'm only 5'2

pitterpatter129

I'm so heavy. I hate it. I'm almost fitting into my 20...so goal number one is an 18. Obviously, the eventual goal would be smaller...I looked pretty good at a 12-14. Baby steps...

penguingrrl

I'm vastly different in pants versus dresses (thanks disproportionately large breasts). I wear a 6-8 pants now and am hoping to get to a 2-4. I'm a 10 in dresses and would like to get to a 4-6 (smaller if I don't go down enough naturally and need a breast reduction). I answered for pants size. My goal is  2 from my current 6.

penguingrrl

I should add that I'm 5'3/4" tall, so that's not a tiny size on me. I'm a 6 at 22 lbs overweight.

OK. The more I think about it, the more this annoys me. Why focus on a size? With "vanity" sizing and the idea that 0 is a size, limiting yourself to a size is not a great thing, IMO.

I can see that argument but I think it's just a different way to chat about goals. It's a new way to frame it outside of weight. Of course we should all focus on health, reassess goals as we get fit, and all that. But we have visions of where we want to be. 

Also maybe clothing size is easier to say than weight. I know quite a few people that just hate putting the exact number out there.

I don't think anyone is necessarily focusing on it.. I'm not, at least. I know I can be a size 8 in pants from Old navy, but in Target size 10.  Then sometimes I could even be 6.  It's just a goal. Just like actual weight.  I don't like to limit myself there, either.  Maybe I'll feel good at 120, or maybe I'll feel good at 130.  But I can still have certain goals I might wanna strive for.

Court0026

I am a 12-14 now which is the biggest I have ever been.  I would ideally love to be an 8.  I am not sure my hips, etc. could be smaller than that. 

Icjt

I'm a 14 now, and goal is 6-8.

I'm a 4. I've been working my way back to 2 (where I was before DS). I'm finally at pre-pregnancy weight but my rib cage and hips are just bigger so I don't think I'll ever get back into my old jeans.

Someone else with the rib cage expanse...I feel your pain!

lyingliarlies

i'm about an 8-10 now. i'd like to tighten up belly & get my legs in better shape. that would put me at about a 6-8. i'm about 5'8. as a very wise SAHM once said, my skeleton alone wouldn't fit in a size 2.

i'm really not focused on being a particular size, just getting back in shape in my trouble spots, getting definition in certain areas.  for me, that means fitting in my old clothes (i'm now back in my old "skinny" clothes at an 8-10, hallelujah.) i was firmly in 14 about 6 months ago.

I have that problem here as well. My rib cage got 1" bigger during pregnancy and didn't go back since. I remember being in so much pain during my pregnancy. My boobs also didn't go back down to their pre-pregnancy size. None of my old blouses will ever fit again so matter how much weight I lose. I loved my old work wardobe.

In terms of sizes. It depends so much where I shop. But talking GAP sizes I am a size 6 (which was to tight before I started to lose weight in January) and am down to a size 4 now. I would like to be a loose size 4. Which would be a size 6 in the other stores I shop in. Clothing sizes irritate me so much.

sophie206

12/14 here and wanting to be about 8/10 by September. I just rejoined WW with a 6 month promotion and hoping to get to a healthy BMI in that time (about 20 pounds so probably about 2 sizes).
