What is your dream weight and size? Why? Oh yes my classes are backy backy!
As I’m doing my push-ups this evening this thought plays in my head. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what’s my dream weight and size? My dream weight would be 120 lbs and a size 4 (but is it possible to be both LOL)?? As you can tell I’ve never been 120 or a size 4.
BUT THEN REALITY SETS IN!! Ohhhhhhhhhhh nooooo girly girl, not for me. I realize that ideally my goal weight is about 135 or 140 - something that is so close I can almost taste it but so far away. My size would be a 5/7. That is just about where I’m at now. Although with my broad shoulders I can fit all mediums and a few small.
I passed by Rod and for once he said, honey your arms shrunk a bit!!! SCORE!! LOL small victories!
I didn’t sleep a lot last night. Too many thoughts in my head. That and a long day added up to 175 regular push-ups at home and I’m in the process of doing weights, pure weights. No JIM date.
BUT TOMORROW BACK TO EATING!!! HAHAHA eating eating eating to my hearts content. I already have my meals planned out. I can get away with 1900 calories and do kickboxing and pilates. Although Pilates will kick my butt it’s Ballet/Pilates.
Why is it I take such pleasure in the little things in life? I do. I get soooo excited about my brand new day!!
well you obviously needed a break so i understand. I only got in a bit of workout thanks to Jack.. bugger that he is. oh what a nice compliment from Rod..
My dream size would be size 6 and 130 pounds..
I am far away from 130 but size 6 I am getting close too… I am just trying to be happy where I am at though..
I think that I look great in a size 9:)
My original goal was 175 but I changed it to 150 then up to 165. I thought the size would be 10 but I have some 10s now. I wear anywhere form a 10-13/14 (13/14 is juniors sizes).
A size 10 because I was happiest at that size. A large top a size 10 bottom.
I always think its so interesting to hear what size people wear/want to be because everyone carries their weight so differently. For example I weigh 189 and wear a size 10 or 12, while my mom weighs a little over 200 so around ten pounds more and wears a size 18/20! Its confusing! My ideal size weight is 135 size 6 but realistically when I get to 135 I will wear more like an 8 or 10.
DREAM weight/size? 115 size 4.
But I would be more then happy at 135 in a size 10 and this is what I am going for lol.
hmm this is such a good topic girl…really gets me htinking!
hmm this is such a good topic girl…really gets me thinking! I guess ideal weight if were being honest would be about 145 (I’m 5′9 so anything less might be a little unhealthy) ideal size would be 6. I’d love my curves (I’d also love to develop a butt some day too haha elleptical is my friend) Right now me dream weight is the next siz down lol 14..in any store, not just the stores that change the sizes so we feel better about ourselves! Great blog hun!
hmmm…such a good question..dream or achievable??? Of course I would love to be a lil’ thing size 2, short and cute…but in reality, I would be very happy with a “healthy” 145-155lbs. (5′7) and be a size 8 or 9. Love the blog, because I love to know where other peoples minds are at!
so my ideal weight range is between 105 and 132 pounds….im wearing a size 6 now…but what i really would like to be is a size 4! and my ideal wieght would def be 120 or maybe 115! i love my curves!!!!! and goin lower than that looks gross on me!!!! ive been 113…and hated how unhealthy i looked!! and at 120 i can still wear a smaller size and have cute curves!!!!!
My dream weight is 234lbs. It that because it came from two sources. One was this weird electrode thing that measured my body fat at a health expo and the other was the defunct www.mybodycomp.com.
I am a man so not having to shop in big and tall is all I care about when it comes to size. I would like to wear XL shirts.
I am doing this because I love myself.
A size 8 is ideal. Wishful thinking a size 4.
I love the way you’re so realistic about your goal. My goal used to be 110-120lbs. I just wanted to be skinny. NOW my goal is just to firm and tone up… and stay under 150lbs!!! I just want to feel tight, and not wobble when I walk… that’s it!
lol… I do the same thing!!!
I’ll be jamming out to my mp3 player, and exercising like a mad woman on the elliptical. I’ll close my eyes and go off to my own little world. I picture myself thin, and I push even harder! I’ve thought before “what size do I REALLY want to be?” But I really have no clue! I’ve never been smaller than a 160 pounds, and in a size 15. I thought before that I wanted to be in a size 4, but while Billy’s mom was here I was folding her pants. I checked the size and I realized that she wore a size 6. Those things were tiny!!!! I can’t even picture myself that small. So I decided not to think of what “size” I want to be. But instead be okay with what ever size I am when I reach my goal weight of 120!
Oh… by the way… AWESOME job on your pushups!!!!
My goal wieght is 145 size 8 I think that is where I would healthy and happy since im 5′8 Great topic
Hi hun!
My goal is 130-130 I’ve been there many times and stayed that way. I use to think I wanted to be 120 but when I was I felt to skinny and people said I was to small so I know I need to weigh more. Enjoy all that eating!!! I emailed you
right now i am 151 and wear a 10.. some 8’s/mediums. i dont know anymore on what i want to weigh…. lemme think…
but i do want to be in a 6 or 8. i think 8 would look better on me. and i guess 125 lbs.
oooh!! why can’t i post!

In my unhealthy days I wanted to be 110 lbs and a size 2… now my goal is a much more realistic and healthy 140 lbs and a size 7-8.
Have fun in your classes!!!
When I was in college I was 125 pounds and about a size 8. Now that clothes are bigger (thanks, vanity sizing) I would be a 6 at that size. I’m sorry to say I thought I was heavy at that size and wouldn’t put on a bathing suit! I won’t make that mistake again.
I’m aiming for 160 and a size 10. But I’m so far away I’ll probably revise that as I get closer and see what I can do. I picked that size/weight because that’s what I was when I left for college 20 years ago.
Clothing sizes are so weird. :/ Or maybe I’m just funny shaped! lol Sometimes I can shop in the ladies’ section and wear anything from a 2 to a 6, but sometimes it’s just ridiculous because the jeans will fit around the waist and sag in the bootie and thighs… Juniors… will fit my butt but be tight in the waist (from having kids?) at a size 3-5; sometimes I wear up to a 7 in juniors, and as low as a 2 in ladies’! It’s nuts!! So I have no idea where I’m going as far as clothing size; I just want to look good naked! lmao
My goal weight, I’d like to get down to 115, but that’s just a dream or something to work towards to keep me going. I’m not disappointed with saying I weigh 125, though I’ve never weighed that consistently; it’s just my lowest weight I’ve reached so far, varying up and down between 130-125 for the past several months. I just need something to keep me going, keep me working hard. I’ll be ecstatic if I can get down to 120.
I’ve been down to 130 and looked healthy and fit there. That’s where I’d love to be again (and WILL be). Clothes sizes I take with a grain of salt; at 130 I could wear a size 5, 6 or 8, depending on the brand and style. There’s no consistency there so I focus on my body and weight.
I really have no clue on either. A lady at work who is the same height as me weighs 117 and she doesn’t look sickly or too thin, so 117 might be a good weight for me. No clue on the sizes. I don’t know if i’m big boned so maybe 117 would be too small on me, maybe I need 120-125.. not sure. This is a great blog and I love reading everyones comments here. Pretty neat to see.
I’m aiming for a goal weight of 120 and if I recall when I was that size last I was in a size 7 in juniors. I have a bubble butt and short inseam so it is so hard finding jeans that really fit my body well. I don’t go off of sizes especially since from brand to brand they change. I just want to have a toned body that will fit clothing well and have the confidence to wear a dress, skirt, or shorts someday.
Nancy I’m curious, how tall are you???
I really don’t know. The smallest I remember being as a 13 juniors…in middle school.
I’d love to be an 8/10 but we’ll see…weight wise? HAH who knows where that puts me!
You look great now ! But i understand we always want better, when i was 130, 20yrs ago . . . lol, i felt fat , what i give to 130 now lol, I do envy your workouts , when my back gets better i look forward to working out like that again.
Have a great day !
I would like to be a size 10/12. Not sure what weight I need to be to achieve that but best guess would be 130. I haven’t been that size since probably jr high.
I remember being happiest with my body 9 years ago. I had always been about a 10/12 weighing 140-145 and I lost down to 125. I went shopping for a prom dress and got to buy a size 6!!!I was so excited about being in a single digit size, I’m shocked I didn’t cut out the tag and frame it!LOL So, I know that is a stretch, but my ideal size is 130-135 lbs. and a comfy size 8. I increased it just a little…I mean I’ve had 2 babies after all.:)
Size 8 is the size that works for me.
I think that if I had my way I would be 150 and a size 7/8…but realistically I think about 160 and a size 10. Great blog and great job on your push-ups.
Hi Cousin! Found your blog. Great site. I want to be a size 5. I was a 5 at 21. Best time of my life.
Last time I remember being even remotely small…. was a size 11 in high school… I think it was around 135 pounds and I thought I was a COW. What I wouldn’t give to have that body back! I would be happy at 135-145… and honestly… I would be happy with any size 16 or lower.
I think I would like to go about 170lbs. I think that I would be about a size 12, and that would look pretty good on me I think. I haven’t known life under a size 18!
I am the smallest now I have ever been. I have never cared about what size I was, if I was a 14 but my ideal weight then I wouldn’t mind. I am 5′4 and should be under 147 lbs. BUT since I want to have that baby sometime my dr said I have to get to 130 lbs
I would be happy at 145 or 140 so I would be a normal weight. I wear a 12/14 now at 175 some pounds so I bet at 130 I would be a 8 or 10….not sure.
Wow, thats a big question! Well I have no idea…really. I have never been at a healthy weight as an adult so I don’t know what my weight or size would be.
However I used the BMI thing when I first started. I chose 150 because at 159 I become at a healthy weight according to the BMI and then it is a nice even number. First I was 280-300 pounds. I doubted I would get to 250 let alone 200 or even 150. I needed a realistic goal! Plus I think if I weighed too little it would be hard to maintain, so I picked a higher number. I figured if I got to 150 and still felt fat I would keep losing weight.
Same with the size thing, I have no clue. I was thinking 8 to 9 would be a good size for me. Not too skinny…just healthy.
I would love to try a ballet Pilates style class…I see parts of them on youtube and they look interesting…
My goal weight is 135 pounds. Not sure what size I would be wearing at that weight since I am 5′7 in height, but as long as I am wearing a small or medium, I am happy. The reason I chose 135 is because originally, my goal was 150lbs and I know how I am when I watch the scale. So I figured if I go 15pounds below my goal weight, then once I see the scale trying to climb back up, I can do something about it and still be in my target goal weight. According to my BMI, my weight should range between 112-158. *something like that* LOL.
my ideal weight would be 145, size 8 or 10? i’ve been stuck at this weight and size for so long that any lower weight and shopping for a diff size would feel like a major achievement!
Well my goal weight is subject to change. As far as my goal size, I’m thinking 10. The smallest I ever got was 12 so I would like to go just a little lower. I’m sorry you didn’t sleep. I hope you have a great day today.
Well, I am 5/9″ my healthy weight is 159-172. I’d like to weigh about 160. That was a size 12 last time I was in it.
Good luck with all your working out and eating!

My goal is 140..that puts me in like a size 7/8 I believe. I would love that & its gonna happen before next summer darnit
right now I am a size 8 and I weigh 164. I am actually pretty happy here, but in my dream world I would be a size 6 and weigh 150, more importantly though I just want to be toned and have some definition.
Good blog. Size 10 is ideal for me. Size 10.
I hadn’t really thought about a “size”. I’ll be happy when I can’t grab onto the 4 to 5 inches of fat around what should be my waist. My legs are thin, I have no butt… I don’t like anything tight anyway. I’m in the XXL range, guess I would like to get to Med.
I like this blog…
I would like to be between 125 and 135. It doesnt really matter too much, as long as Im happy with what I see in the mirror. And Im hoping 4’s and 6’s come along with that! More towards the 4’s haha, but Ill take it!!! :))))
Thanks for the thought provoking blog Nance!
You look like a 4 to me…ya do!!
I knwo I have a size in my head but Im trying to leave it more to where I am happy with me…not just a number. Ive struggled many many years…ok make that still struggle with “ideals”…other peoples Ideals…I need to figure my own.
Love and miss you gorgeous!
Oh, my dream size would be what I was in high school and my first year of college which was 105 pounds BUT that’s not realistic! I mean, I’m at 233 pounds right now - my highest ever being 282. Anyway, I think I will be happy at 120 pounds but we’ll see. At this moment, I will just be THRILLED to get below 200!
In my dreams I would be 120, and a size6. But realistically 135 and size 8 I will be happy with. You are doing awesome and yay for the smaller arms!
ARM Shrinkage! *hi-five*!!!!
Now you must find strangers on the street who have locked themselves out of their cars BUT the window’s cracked and they need a nice skinny arm to save the day!!!!!
