Hey everyone,I hope that everyone is having a good day so far.I've learned so much from this board being that I'm on vacation i spend a lot of time here reading and continuing to learn as much as i can.I know that everyone talks about their goal weight but i wanted to know what everyone goal size is? Do you have one ? For me my goal size would be a 14 i'm 5'8,I dont care what number the scale says as long as i can fit a 14.

I'm on a Everchanging journey.

 I have a goal weight of 150 and my goal size is 8. Right now I'm in 12s so not tooooo far away. I will continue to lose as long as my body will lose and not make myself go into maintence. I have a belly that poofs out so I can imagine I'll still have that belly even in size 8s : /

Yes ma'am you will have the belly in a size 8.  I'm getting into 6's and still carry a tummy.  No amount of crunches will ever fix this.  Only a good plastic surgeon!

My goal was also more of a size, rather than a number.  I'm in a size 16 jean right now (down from a size 32 jean 15 mths ago). I am beyond thrilled.  I have a pair of 14 jeans that i can zip up..but they're still too snug on my stomach to be comfortable to wear for long.

Even though it's all about the size for me..I still would rather my weight begin with a number one..since I'm only 10 lbs from that happening.  So I think I'll probably end up in a size 14..we'll see where it goes from there.

I made my goal the weight I remembered feeling my healthiest and best as an adult. I exercised regularly, ate well, and lead an active lifestyle. That was 25-30 years ago, when I was in graduate school. I weighed around 165-170 pounds, and although that still puts me in the "overweight" bmi;(I'm 5'3) I would feel really comfortable at that weight,I think. My doctors at Kaiser would like me to weigh 126 -- but I cannot imagine weighing that, nor being able to keep that weight. My surgeon actually agrees with me on my goal weight; so I am ok with it.

If I manage to get my weight lower than that....GREAT ! But that's how I picked.

My preop size was 18/20...even one size 22 dress. My goal size was a size 8. I thought even that might not be attainable. I really thought size 8 would be the smallest I would like, my body could attain, and I could easily maintain. However today I wear a size 4, some 2s and even 0s, depending on the brand. Never dreamed my body had the ability to get down to a size 4!  I'm nearly 2 1/2 years post op and easily maintain my weight. I don't starve. I do exercise regularly but do it more for the mental/emotional benefits than in an effort to maintain my weight. Don't be surprised if you end up a size, or 2 or even 3 below your goal size.

I am 5' 10" and my goal is 218-220. Thats where I was in college, felt really great and was a brick house!!! I think i was in a 16 then, even being very active and athletic. I have been overweight most of my life.   If I get smaller than that (and it looks that way from vets posts) then we shall see. I dont want to get too scrawny though, being the smallest possible is not appealing or attractive to me.
