City: dallas area State: TX | Size goal vs Pound goal
Was wondering if anyone has given themselves a clothing size goal to attain rather then a goal in pounds. Because im thinking if i can just get down to a size 12 then i will be happy no matter what number the scale reflects! Does anyone else have this mind frame?

Yes.....I have a 'size goal' for my pants. I'm aiming for 40 rather that the 56/58 I started with. I'm down to 42 for the first time since before LBJ was president.
As for weight, I am below what I was when JFK was president.
And I am STILL 25# above my goal....

I don't really have a size goal. The sizes are different now than when I last wore a 14 or 12.

I have a size goal!... I want to be a size 12 but now that I can fit into a 14 (tight but damn they close) I'm thinking maybe a size 10 but what I really want is to be able to wear a L instead of a XL in tops. I went to Lane Bryant yesterday and was soooo happy I saw a really cute blouse (a must have) but they didn't have my size .. Guess what they had only.. sizes way too big.. lol.. I can't believe it.. I was really excited. For the first time in a very long time I can actually say Lane Bryant sizes were to big for me.. ok ok so I was only asking for a 14/16 but still the 18/20 was to big.. and I loved it!!

I have a size range in mind as well as a weight range goal. The problem is that sizes vary from brand to brand, and they've changed over the years.
Generally speaking I'd like to be a size M -- an 8/10.

Interesting thought! For me, I have no idea what I will look or feel like at any size now because I have always been really fat. I am just moving from 18s into 16s and that is about the most exciting think that has happened to me ever! I have a lot more to lose so have no idea what size I will be then! Good luck!

I would love to be a size 10.. at first i said a size 12 but a 12 is too close to a 14 which is too close to being over weight for me again....

| ize of clothes and weight
I was just reading another post where someone went from a size 28 to a size 14 and lost 70lbs in 6 months to get to that range. i lost 60lb and gone from 22/20 to size 14/12. didnt think 10lbs would make so much difference, but i know sometimes dont seem to lose much on scale yet measurements do!

I set my goal for 150 lbs. I have no idea what size I will be when I reach that goal. I would love to be a size 8, so who knows. I'm not even sure I will be happy at 150 lbs, only time will tell. I plan to keep going until I am healthy and happy.

Well, they're kind of hard to separate, but really, I care about size more than actual weight, I just want to fit really easily into a 12 (which is about a US 8 to 10), any 12. At the moment, its most 12's fit, but they're just a little tighter than I'd like. So for me now, I dont really care whether I'm 70kg or 65, as long as 12's fit, but I'm not particularly ambitious to go past there.

14. That's the smallest size I can ever remember wearing. I have no idea what weight that is, or if a size 14 today is like a 14 of 30 years ago...but when I can fit into a size 14 jeans, it will be the ultimate victory. I've never worn a 12, so that seems like an impossible goal to strive for...but who knows???

I am in a 14 now and I am pretty happy with that, but I guess my goal would be a 12. I don't want to get too skinny , because I don't want saggy skin. Donna

I want to be a size 10 or 12. The last time I lost a lot of weight, I got down to an easy 12. Then I had my gallbladder out and, for a brief moment in time, I was a tight 10. The reason I want to be these sizes is that they seem to be easy to find in stores and have a lot of selection. I found when I was a size 14, that I still had to go to the fat lady stores/departments or the store I was at carried that size, but they were always out of it.
But for me, the big issue is maintenance. I want to be a size and weight that I feel I can maintain. If that turns out to be even lower, I'll take it. As long as I don't get so thin that I worry about dying if I get the flu (like my anorexic grandmother had to).
