    i AM A SIZE 18 AND WOULD LOVEEEEEE TO BE A SIZE 8. I REALLY WANT TO BE ABLE TO WEAR A BATHING SUIT! i KNOW THIS MAY SOUND A LITTLE CRAZY, BUT I SPOKE WITH MY DIETICIAN DURING A PLASTIC SURGERY SEMINAR, SHE TOLD ME TO WEAR COMPRESSION GARMENTS THAT HAVE THE "BUTT" OPEN. SHE SAID TO GET THE ONES THAT ARE FOR PLASTIC SURGERY PATIENTS. SHE WAS BASICALLY SAYING TO WEAR THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHEN WORKING OUT, IT WILL HELP TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR FAT AS YOU LOSE. HOPEFULLY IT WILL HELP, IF NOT, ITS WORTH A TRY. I REALLY DONT WANT TO LOSE MY BUTT!

    Thank you! You can do it! The stalls can be something else...but don't give up...they do break!

    Started out a size 20 pants and 2x shirts. Currently comfortable in a size 8 pants and medium shirts. I am not done yet. Not sure how low I am going to get. I did try on a size 6 the other day and they fit! Tight but they zippered! It's hard to believe that when I started my goal was a size 14!!

    That's awesome, you are a "big loser". I wish I could get into the single digits in clothes.

    I am currently a size 20. I have no idea if it would be 'too thin' for my height and frame but I am intrigued to see if I can make it to a size 8 because I have never in my memory been a size in the single digits. But truthfully, I think my body will tell me what is 'right' for me and it is gonna be better and healthier than where I am now.

    I started at 225 a size 20, lost 55# now 169 # and a size 12. and 5'7". The size you are is determined on your body shape and where you hold on to your curves.
