Question Sizes?

Hi Atkiners!

I was just wondering: What size did you start at (pants, skirts, tops)? What size are you wearing now? What is your "goal" size, if you have one?

Peace

I was getting pretty close to buying size 14, but I just couldnt do it. But right now...and I on my TOM...I think I should be about 166...but I am not weighing myself yet...anyways....all of my 12's are too big, but I think I would just freak if I actually fit into a 9/10. Thats just crazy talk. But I think I might have to pretty soon. I put my jeans on straight out of the dryer now and they are still too big. I dont have a goal size. I am just going with the flow on this WOL. I will be happy wherever it takes me.

I couldnt tell you what size I wore because they were all XL and stretchy pants. The last size I know for sure was a 22. I can now wear a 12 but 14's are more comfortable.

I'm starting at 18-20 and want to get to 12.

Most of American thinks a 12 is 'plus size', but I'd be happy to be there!

In pants, I was a 24W in April. I now wear an 18W-20W. Tops was a 22W/24W, or 2-3X, I can now wear XL and 18W.

I don't have a goal size really, or even an actual goal weight. I know that I need to loose weight and hopefully I will find a weight that I am comfortable with one day.

My starting weight was 211..size 22 top and 18 bottom. My weight now is 191..18 top and 14 bottom. My tummy and legs are really slimming down faster than anything.

I was wearing size 18 pants at 193 and large or x-large tops.
Now I am pretty much a 14 in pants (some 16's) and med-large tops. This is at 167.
Hoping to get to size 9/10 and 135-145 pounds; we'll see when I get closer....

Depending on make of clothing, in pants I am now usually a pretty comfortable 17/18, or a sausage-esque 15/16. In shirts I usually can do a large(15/16) without problems, but am more comfy in a 17/18. I am currently about 196.

When i started this WoL, I had resigned to wearing garbage bags, but I do remember a size 24 being tight. Oh god, how embarassing to recall that.

My goal size is a 7/8 but I will be satisfied with a 9/10. My goal weight is just an estimation (I go by the tape measure/clothing size not the scale and pounds), but I assume to reach my goal i would need to be 135.

In June, I was wearing a mens 44x30, womens 22. Now, I am in a mens 40x30, and I haven't tried on any women's pants lately, but I think that I could probably wear an 18.

I was wearing a mens 2x shirt size when I started and now I am buying Large, that feels great!

I'm Asian and have a very small frame. I started at size 6, then went to size 4, and now size 4 is loose. I can make it into my size 2 pants now.. they're still a bit too snug, but it feels good to be able to get into them nevetheles

I think I used to wear 16 or so. I was in maternity clothing so hard to say

I like my clothes baggy. I wear size 8 jeans and Large t-shirts still. I bought a small dress today though (size 4-6) and I can put on my size 5 jeans, but not to comfortably yet.

I would like to get down to a comfortable size 5 at least. Or I should say I woiuld like to get trim enough to look good in what ever size I wear. I hate that almost everything below size 8 is made fitted or skin tight and shows ever bulge.

I stated at size 14W and XL shirts, now I make myself buy Large shirts (hard to make myself buy something fitted) and size 10 pants. My lower half is MUCH smaller than my arms and back. Hate the backfat! Am doing lots of exercise to rid myself of it!

Started in a very tight 20/22 and am now wearing size 10/12 (from 15 years ago - you know, before a size 12 became an 8 )

I started at a 24/26 size and now thanks to the clothing exchange section here I just zipped up my first pair of 16s!!! They were tight but hey I did zip them up and didn't even have to lay down to do so.

probably am a comfy 18 now.
