Confession time!
I read this thread and really had to think about it. I have been a size 14 (and UP) since I am in 9th grade... that is more than 15 years..

Talk about a does of reality there! I have not thought about a pefect size until I read this thread. My largest was a size 32 Chat Icon
I am currently in a 1x (16/18). I would love to get down to a size 14 again. Which now does not look TOO FAR away! Chat Icon

I think I will have to re-evaluate when I get to the size 14.




your right I see. Congratulations trimming down. Small steps get you huge results.

BTW your profile pictures is gorgeous.

Re: What is your perfect size?

I think a solid 6 is fine with me--I was that but now I'm in 8 and even some of those don't quite fit. Although some 6 things still do..go figure. I probably need to lose about 10-15 lbs to get back there (I'm almost 5'5"). I will never be stick thin and have a long torso and short legs, so some of that weight is just always going to be there, but I hate that I have gained in my tummy and that my butt is looking a little flabby. Starting to try to be better now....

Re: What is your perfect size?

My perfect size or realistic size would be an 8. I havent been that in a few years though Chat Icon now im between a 10-12 5'6" and so uncomfortable. I think mostly because Im the most flabby and out of shape ive ever been. I will never be really thin, I have a big build with big boobs a long torso and short legs. But I do like my body cause I do have curves, just more then I want right nowChat Icon

Re: What is your perfect size?

I am 5' 8" and broad shoulder so my sizing is different them most. My ideal is a size 6 (that is what I consider myself to look skinny), but i have been as high as a 10 (after pregnancy) but really an 8 is where I maintain my size. Most 8's are a little big on me, but I like to have room. 6's are a little too tight. It's always about those 10lbs.

At my skinniest...i was a 2-4 and I look too skinny for my body type. I always worried about the scale back then, but now I realize that I am taller and more broad them most woman.

size 4/6 . I am 5 ft and I like my booty. A body like Kim k is my ideal. Currently I am closer to an 8 so it shows alot on a petite frame.

Re: What is your perfect size?

I think size 6 would be my ideal size. I've ranged from size 6 to 12 (larger during pregnancy) my adult life, and I am at size 12 right now. My goal is to be at least a size 8, maybe 6. I have ups and downs with WW, I'm trying to get there. About 25 pounds to lose.

Re: What is your perfect size?

I was happiest when I was wearing 8's. I am 5'7 and curvy...and when I lost a lot of weight after college i went from a 14 to an 8 and even some 6's (mainly in skirts/dresses).

Right now, 3 months after my second baby i am in tight 12's. I would LOVE to see 8 again...I kept all my clothes for inspiration but its going to be hard to get there..I don't lose the same as i used to. I would be happy in a comfortable 10 right now!

I felt best when i was a size 4. But that was REALLY ALOT of hard work to maintain.

Now that im preg, if i can get back to being a 6, i will be THRILLED



Ditto! When I was a 4, I was STARVING and working out like a madwoman.

Post Pregnancy I am between an 8 and a 10. I would love to get back into my size 6 suits. The size 4's may have to get donated... Anyone want some Anne Klein, Tahari and JCrew suits? Chat Icon

Re: What is your perfect size?

For many, many years "my" size was a 12. I felt good at that size. when I wasn't that size, I aspired to be that size.

Now, "my" size is a 2. I can't imagine being much bigger than this ever again. And, I don't look anorexic like I thought I would. I work out a lot and lost weight at an appropriate pace, so I guess that's why. but many years ago, I never would have thought it would even be possible to be this size. I now realizing I was settling for what was easy.

Re: What is your perfect size?

At my biggest, I was a size 14. Right now I'm I fluctuate between a size 2/4 and I'm very happy with that. I'd love to be a solid 2, but with my muscle tone and build, its very unlikely.

That about where I am.
I can't ever remember being smaller than a 10 & that was in college. I was a 12 for a while & I am a 14 or 16 now & in my early 30s.

I would be thrilled to be a 10, I think, but I can't really remember what that looks/feels like.

I can't image in ever being a 2.

Honestly, it's not even the clothes size that bothers me, my face just looks so huge in pictures and that makes it really look like that's not the size I am supposed to be, if that makes any sense.

Congratulations on going from a 32 to a 16/18 & for being the first on the thread to admit to being in the double digits!
Being a 14 is great (after being larger) b/c you can shop in most regular stores--I am actually on my way out of regular stores & trying to prevent that!

WHO KNOWS?? I hate sizing now!! Every store is different and I range over like 3 sizes - I can go in one store and try on pants and go into a different store & be a different size. The actual number doesn't matter.

I'll just say I am happy with myself the way I am. I can be 5 pounds heavier or 5 pounds lighter and I'll still be happy the way I am. I know I eat really healthy (no processed foods), I never deny myself things I want, I never starve myself & I work out. So I am healthy and fit, that's all I care about.

I totally agree with this!!!! The actual number really does not matter it's how comfortable you feel with yourself. Right now I have a wardrobe that consists of 6's, 8's and 10's. Grant it the 10's are from when I was a 20 pounds heavier and they are big on me but they are not falling off!!!! Every store has different sizing and every person has a different body type!!!
