    I don't think anyone can give you a precise answer...my suggestion would be to aim for a reasonable goal weight, somewhere in the middle of your BMI range and then evaluate where you're at after that. For a point of reference, I'm 5'9", 145 pounds, and I wear a size 6 Tall. I don't know how much thinner I would need to be in order to fit a size 4. I'm extremely happy at my current weight and I love the way my clothes fit. Maybe you will feel the same way once you get close (or at) your goal weight?

    I'm 5'8 and wore a size 4 when I was 130-135 but that weight would look different on someone 5'2.

    Well...I'm 5.2 and a half....I was a size 0-2 at 118lbs....I'm a size 6-8 dress at 134lbs....not sure if that helps you but somewhere in that range I'd guess would be your target. I am most definitely an Apple shape too :D

    in general, weight does not imply size.. however exercise and muscle/fat will determine how a size 4 would fit regardless of your weight. so im guessing around 110 lbs would be a good start??

    I'm 5'6 and about 138 and wearing some size 4, some size 6. I seem to be both sizes depending on the brand.

    I am 5' 8" and when I was down to 130-135 the smallest size I could wear was a size 9/10. It is crazy how body shapes/sizes can be so different.

    5' 4" here, at 132lbs I could wear a UK 10, no lower. Depends on how you carry weight (I have big thighs).

    What is your current weight and size?

    I'm 5ft 2 and a UK size 8-10 which is same as US 4 to 6 - I'm 128lbs. But I am an hour glass shape, always was even before I lost weight.
    But everyone has different builds/body types, I have friends who are the same size clothes as me/same height yet are only 110lbs. Different frames and muscle account for that.

    Perfect example. I am 5'9-5'10 and also
    wear a size 6 tall. But I weigh 15 lbs more than you.

    It will vary between people. I wear a size 4 jeans/small top and I'm 5ft, 6in, current weight is around 126lbs, pear shaped.

    Also you'll be a different clothing size depending on brands, which vary widely.

    I'm 5'3, 135lbs and usually wear a 4. I'm pretty muscular. Before I started lifting, I wore a 4 at 125lbs. Body composition can make at least a 10lb difference...on top of sizing between brands can make a difference. Realistically, you could be 120-140 and wear 4s.

    A healthy weight range for your height would be 101-137 lbs.
    I would aim for somewhere in that range.

    This is so crazy to me. I mean, I'm not disagreeing -- I know that is the range.

    But, nearly 40 lbs?! For someone 5'2"?

    I guess this makes the case about body composition, but I cannot imagine being deemed "healthy" at the high end of the range.

    OP, I'm 5' and 112. (I think I have about 10 more to go.) Currently, I'm a 2 (US), but think I could do a 0 in some cases.

    I will never see a size 4 ... not sure I want to though. I am 5'5" ... got down to 130 and size 8 once ... I looked like a bobble head on a stick and did not look healthy at all. Good luck though xx

    I'm an apple shape and 5'5 I can get into a UK 8 (US4) trousers at 130 pounds but I've never got into a US 4 top as an adult. There are so many factors someone who works out and does strength training could get into smaller sizes than someone who doesn't who is 10 pounds lighter. it's impossible to answer unfortunately I can imagine the weight range is probably a good 25 pounds dependent on lean mass and weight distribution, it all depends on the individual.

    If its a particular size you want though and you're aiming to lose inches I suggest adding some weight training instead of falling into the trap of focusing solely on the scale. Good luck.
