Kim2BSlim Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would like to be a size 8. I can't even imagine! I am thick around the middle so right now I am still in a 16..that is from a very tight 20 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat 2 Fab Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am also a 16. I think I would like to be a 5/6. I like trendy clothes and they are usually on the smaller side. If I could wear designer jeans that were a size 26 or smaller, I would die HAPPY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittycat Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would be so happy to be a size 10 or 12...currently 24W...was 26W at my highest weight. I am going to set a conservative goal and then we'll see what happens!!! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momonamission Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I would like to be a 9 but thrilled if I got to an 11 and dreaming if I made it under a 9. Of course I have always been a dreamer. I really just do not know. I think my body has changed and I do not know what I would look good at. I might just try to keep going until my body stalls out. I think my body will tell me what is a good weight for me. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenlynn79 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 An 8 for me too, Kim. Though secretly I'd like to be a 6 someday...... I once as an adult wore an 8 (only 3.5 years ago) and took it for granted!!! I am in a 16 now too... My stomach is all crazy since just having a baby, but it looks better already (my daughter Evee is 3 months now) so hopefully it'll look normal someday!!! Karen Kim I just noticed that you and I have almost the same stats, etc... height and highest weight. My goal is 150 though and then it's really 140 but I am aiming for 150 now since I haven't weighed that since I was like 15.... I am at 204 now and can't wait to hit 199!!!!!

nicolek Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi All I would be happy being a 12 what am I saying even a 14 would be nice.LOL I've just started wearing a 16 from a size 20. I had tons of 18's but they are now too big. My closet consists of 1 pair jeans, 1 pair of bermuda shorts, 2 pairs capris, 7 t-shirts and 1 summer dress. I did have to buy undies so 7 pairs undies and 2 bras. My husband is seriously worried about how much I'm gonna spend when I reach my goal.

Fat 2 Fab Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (my daughter Evee is 3 months now) My daughters name is Evie, I think we pronounce it the same! She is 3 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenlynn79 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 My daughters name is Evie, I think we pronounce it the same! She is 3 years old. Cool! Yes it's Evee as in E-Vee... We didn't want to do the traditional spelling because with her middle name (Lynn) her name looked like Evie L which looks like evil to me......

nothereanymore Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 My goal was a size 10, that came and went - I'm now a 4/6 and trying to stop from getting any smaller!! I never thought that I could be this size –when I started I was a 22 or 3X. You’ll most likely loose more than your goal – most people I know have. (When you start at a 22 its hard to imagine getting to a 10), when you get to a 10, you can quickly without much effort move to a 6! And then what’s really interesting is how exercise - which is much more fun when you’re smaller - really starts affecting your body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I started as a 22 in Jan and was in a size 20 when I had my surgery in late Feb.. After being banded I went down a size each month even when I was only losing 7-10lbs a month (March- size 18 April- size 16 May- size 14) Currently I have been in a size 12 for a few weeks but I'm thinking I won't reach a size 10 till I am around 160-170lbs.. My weight is more evenly dispersed which is good I guess for dropping sizes but I'll never have those skinny arms and legs like some of ya'll out there... I never really thought of a goal size the smallest I recall being was an 8 in high school when I weighed 140ish, and that was with 2hrs of drill team before school and lacrosse practice after school, I still have a lot of muscle so I don't know if I'll be able to weigh much less than that but when I went to the store to try on new goal dresses I got an 8 and a 6 off the rack and tried the 6 first which I was able to get on so I didn't even try the 8... so for now that's my goal size on paper! I figure my body will settle where it wants to and if I want to keep losing I can use the band (and a lot of exercise) to get me in the smaller sizes... So I would be happy as a 10, excited as an 8 and over the moon ready to pose for playboy if I ended up a size 6 (lol, not really on the playboy thing sorry WillT but you girls know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manda_T Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 An 8 would be lovely, although I would be happy with a 10/12. I do not want to have to shot in the "special" stores anymore. Although that being said, I started at a 22/24 and am down to a 14/16 top (almost to a normal store) but pants because of my belly are 18 (so sad). I am thinking I will have to have a tummy tuck to wear normal clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandgroupie Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Too funny Michelle. You know willT was right on that. Even though I told Dr. O that I came to his clinic to find the body that matched my ankles, I'd be happy being a size 10 again. It's been 7 years or so. The ankles just need to get bigger so I'll be all set. Anyone know how to make ankles bigger? I started as a 22 in Jan and was in a size 20 when I had my surgery in late Feb..

nothereanymore Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 So I have to add a disclaimer to mine – Manda, I did have a TT tuck and a breast lift – which I’m sure brought my sizes down a bit and helped. Once you do all the work to loose the weight, I was not going to settle…… And Dawnie – I know a good surgeon – I’m sure he could make your ankle’s bigger, if be can give me a perfect waist and perky boobs; he can give you thick ankles!

bigali Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have not really thought about the size just the weight on the scale. The smallest I was ever was a 11, but today I think I would be happy with a 14. I'm saying this cuz i'm in a size 20 and I just can't imagen being small. I'm just happy right now that my 20 are not tight anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAN Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I would LOVE to be in single digits. I can't even remember being in single digits when I was in school. I am shooting for an 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesuse Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Until I found out that I could actually get a lap band a size 14 was my dream goal. Now, for the first time in ages I'm starting to imagine getting even smaller than that - a 12? a 10? Dare I say 8? I'm truly a big boned girl so I just have no idea how small I could get - and what size/weight I'll be. But I'm certainly determined to work hard and make the most of the band and see how small I can get. But just shopping at regular stores would be such a miracle!

mom12 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I was a size 4 only 9 years ago which is the last time I was down to goal. I am hoping for that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musiclover Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I started out as a size 18 but now I am wearing size 12 pants and size 14 top (the cups runneth over) and I have only lost 20 pounds and have another 40 to go. I liked being a size 8 (way back when) but when I look at what my babies did to my tummy (I had two c-sections and have a terrible belly flap) I don't know how possible that will be without a tummy tuck.

The Redhead Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'm shooting for a nice single digit like size 8 but I'm be really thrilled to be a size 6. If I made it to a 4 I'd be crazy happy because then I'd be as slim as 2 of my sisters. I'm currently a 14 so I've got a ways to go before a 4.
