I know some people aren't comfortable commenting on how much weight they want to lose or what they currently weight, or else they don't measure their weight by the number on a scale. That's a-okay!
What's your ideal pant size? Where are you now? Where are you working from?
I was wearing a 20-22, got down to a solid 18 during pregnancy and am now fitting a 16 but wearing 18's still. Ideally, I'd like to be a 12 or 14.
How about you?

haha, that's me. My 'weight' is a weird thing. I weigh 20 pounds more than I did 5 years ago, but am slimmer now...so...yeah.
Ideally, I'd love to wear an 8 comfortably. Pre-preg, I'm a 10. I'm 5'11".

I haven't had a baby buuut I'm a size 8 or 10 depending on the brand. But I'd like to be a 6.

Pre-baby I was an 8 or 10 depending on the brand. At 10 weeks PP, I just bought a couple pairs of pants in size 12 (and they're tight!). I'm hoping it's just temporary . . .

when I'm not pregnant, I'm pretty much *always* a 10. So my ideal weight is always a 6 or 8. I'm 5'7 for reference and have always been very "average"--not thin but not big. Even the two times in my life I've gotten reallllly heavy (up to 170), I was still just a 12 in clothes. Then few times I've been really thin for me (anything under 140, I'm a size 6 or 8.
To be a size 10, I can weight anywhere from 145-155.

Size 6, Due to vanity sizing once I get to my ideal weight I think I will be a 4/6.

i always wanted to get down to buying a zero, never happened =( even at my lowest weight with very boney protruding hip bones, i could only get down to a 2 dress/ 26 jeans. it wasn't healthy for me, but that was my ideal. then i gained a crap load of weight after a slew of health issues and am on the other end of the spectrum now! right now an 8 would be ok, not skinny like i was, but not fat like i am now.

Yesterday I fit into a 10.... but I think it was a really big 10 
Usually I think I'm more of a 12. Ideal would be an 8 for now.

I was a 10-12 PP. I really want to be 8-10 after baby.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
I'm hoping to get down to 10 post-baby. Before baby & before I lost 30 pounds, I was a 16/18. I had gotten into 14s and some 12s when I got pregnant.
GOLD / pineapple / 12662 posts
I was a solid 4 pp (2 in vanity sizing), so I would definitely like to get back to that! Currently, I am between an 8 and 10 (but leaning more toward a 10, especially in jeans). I can't wait to wear my pp jeans - I miss you my lovelies!
ETA: I am 5'7"

It feels weird complaining about my pant size when I'm only one pant size bigger than before baby. My ideal would be to fit back into my old pants because I'm stingy and don't want to spend money to replace them.

My ideal is a 2 or 4. I am 12w pregnant and currently I still fit into my 4s, but they are getting a little snug so I think I'll have to invest in some maternity jeans soon.

@Yin: Sometimes being that close can be even more frustrating that being 2 or 3 sizes away!

I was a size 2/26 pre preg. I fit into most of those pants but they're not suuuper comfy. I"d like them to be comfortable again!

at my absolute skinniest in high school I was a 6-8 depending on the brand. Pre-pregnancies I was an 8-10. Right now I'm pretty consistently a 12, but it really depends on the pant since I have a very flat butt and majorly saggy mummy tummy. I'd love to be an 8 again.
ETA I'm 5'6"!

My ideal ideal would be a size 2, but my more realistic ideal would be to get back to size 4/27 in jeans. Right now I'm wearing 8/29.

I would like to wear a 2/26. I think I'm in 27s right now...
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts
I fluctuate between a 2 and 4. I prefer a 4 because it means I'm a little curvier.

8/10 is my lowest ideal, as I have legit junk in my trunk.

I think a 4 or 6 would be really ideal (meaning I don't have to be insanely strict on diet/exercise but need to lose weight still), but I'll likely be an 8 - 10 for a while after baby. A 6 - 8 would be amazing if I could just be consistent for the rest of my life. But, I fluctuate quite a bit.

I don't have kids, but I'm just tryng to lose weight in general.
Right now I am a size 16-18 in pants, my ideal would probably be a 10-12!

I'm in size 3 or 5 and I'm ok with that, however, I have some toning in my belly area I would love to get rid of.

I was a 2 or 4 prepreg. I'm a 6 now and would love to be in a 4 agein! one of my 4's fit, but not super comfortably.
pineapple / 12526 posts
My ideal is 8-10. I wear between a 12-14 now, post-baby. If I can get back to a 10, I would be perfectly happy. It's the size I was in high school.
I'm tall and have a big butt and big hips and I'm never going to be a tiny girl. I'm totally fine with that. I just want to FEEL thin again.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
I actually weighed the most just before getting pregnant. I was over 170 lbs and when I realized that was overweight for my height (5'8), I kicked my butt into gear! I lost 10 lbs and then got pregnant, then went to 199 lbs. I bought some fat pants to get me through post partum weight loss and they were targets size 15. Thankful I quickly outgrew them (ingrew?!?). I'm 5 lbs under Pre-pg weight, at 158 lbs, nd I wear 8/29. I'd love to be a 4-6. I doubt the 4 will ever happen but a six could.

I'm currently a 4 and fit my prepared jeans, but noticed my hips are wider than before. So more curvy even though I was plenty curvy pre-pregnancy. =P

Pre baby I was between a 6 or an 8 (I'm 5'9).
I'm due in 5 days, so I can't comment much on my weight now, other than that I'm really round lol

I think I can kiss my 25's goodbye but I'd love to be comfortable in my 26's again. I'm in a 27 right now and they're a little loose but definitely not a 26. boo.

I think going by pants size is probably more healthy and accurate than going by the scale!
GOLD / squash / 13464 posts
I'm an 8 right now. I'd be happy at a 6 and thrilled at a 4. I have wide hips so I don't even think my skeleton could fit in a 2!

@Mrs. Lovejoy: I appreciate some company, I've been hearing lots of 2-8.
