what is your goal?

ok- stole this topic from another board, but thought it would get us chatting again. What is the size goal that you could live with yourelf being? I am aiming for size 8/10, but even 10/12 is great with me.

Great question Alexia! Honestly, at this point, I'm not 100% sure where I would be happy. I mean, in 5 months I have gone from a size 32 to a size 18, and believe me I am soooooo happy with my progression, however, I dont want to be here forever. I am very tall, 5'10" - 5'11" so I dont want to be too thin, but I'd say possibly a 12... Just saying that sounds crazy that I could even possibly be in that size someday...I guess we will just have to wait and see!

What a crazy ride! I love it!

I have no set goals. I feel I'll know when I get there by how I feel and how my health is doing.  Health is the major thing for me, appearance is second on my list.   

Wonderful topc Alexia! If you'd asked me that question 6 months ago I probably would have said 16. Now,  4 1/2 months out I've gone from a 28/30 top down to an 18 and a 24/26  pant down to a 14 so I think I have to say that I'm not sure that a 16 would be enough for me at this point.  I have a couple of size 10 pants in the closet that I purchased at Liz Claiborne and I hope I will be able to get into them eventually.  As for the top, trying to be realistic, I think maybe a 14. (the girls have deflated, but they're definately still there and I dont think I'll be one of those who loses them all judging by how things have gone so far) I've been so fortunate so far in my journey. I guess I'll just wait and see where the road takes me.

i would like to get into a size 10 and maybe a 14 top because i always like my tops a little big but maybe that will change in time. i still have about a month and half before surgery, i think. debbie 

Great Post Alexia! I honestly don't even remember what a size 16 is like, nevermind anything lower. Ideally I would like to be a 10/12, because that sounds healthy!

GREAT TOPIC.. I also just wanted to wait untill I was healthy but now that I am shopaholic. I went from a 32 that barley fit to a 14/16 bottom and a 14 or XL top this is even crazy to say.. I would say a sixe 10 or 12 would be great.

I have aspirations of being a "hot mom"- lol I know it is a pipe dream now...

Great topic! Right now I'm dreaming of the day I can shop at "regular" stores!!! I was a size 32(barely)- but today I was able to put on my size 30 jeans and that was a great feeling.  The smallest I ever really remember being as an adult is a 22/24 and it's really hard to even imagine what my body is going to look like.  With being short (5'2) and pretty small boned- I am probably aiming for a 10- but as long as I feel good and am able to be physically active again I'll be happy!

I love new topics, stolen or not...LOL I am currently a size 14 and I feel awesome. Never really thought about what size I wanted to be, but I am actually the same size as I was at 14 yrs old and I'm 41 now. something weird about the whole 1 and 4 thing.. huh? Well... anyhow, I feel good, I am healthy and I am under 200lbs. I would just like to stay that way. Maybe down the road I will feel differently, but right now, I feel great!
