    I am 5"8 around 150 pounds and a size 6/8 depends on the brand.


    I started at 185 and a very tight size 12. Probably should have been 14.

    I'm 5ft 3" - currently 138lbs - a UK size 10 from all shops, the 10's are actually getting a bit big around my waist.

    (hips 36" - waist 26.75" )

    I'm 5ft 5 (and a bit) and 160lb and fit into a UK size 12 very comfortably but I don't think I'll ever be a size 10 even if/when I reach my goal weight because I have broad shoulders, wide hips and a big chest!
    I think if there was a size 11 that's what I would be right now but I don't actually hold much weight around my hips any more after losing quite a bit of weight so I don't think they'll ever fit into a 10!
    I'm also quite scared of trying a 10 on in shops because I'm worried that I won't fit into it and that'll just make me very self concious of my body whereas when I put on a 12 I feel good about my body

    I'm 5ft 6 and 157lb and a comfortable size 12. I started as a size 14 and dropped to a 12, so I'm happy! This post is exactly the same as me, I'd love to get into a size 10, but in reality I don't think it's possible.

    I'm the opposite: I can drop the weight, but my sizes haven't changed much. I am short (5'2) and about 187lbs. I carry most of my weight in my hips, thighs, butt. Having lost 30 something pounds only dropped me one pant size, to a size 16. Oh, and of course, I've about lost what boobs I did have :(

    Oh yes i loose my boobs fast, ive been told to try the squat challenfge for my butt and thighs so gonna try that...

    Squats work wonders!

    I'm currently 160 and size 12 (I can squeeze into a few 10s but not many). At my smallest, I was 130 lbs and size 6/8.

    ETA: I'm 5'5-5'6 and at my largest was 180ish and size 14/16

    Hi there!
    I'm 5'5", 135 lbs, 16.5% BF, 26 inch waist, and a US size 4...ok...size 6 around the top...weight training makes for tighter arm holes....
    Don't expect your jeans to fit any better, when you start doing squats, though.... You get killer glutes and quads, and a lose waist band without muffin top. That doesn't mean you'll fit your behind and legs in them.... I'm currently shopping for pants myself....lol

    I'm 5ft7.5 and currently 162lb down from 168. I've an hour glass shape which thankfully is very forgiving. I was under 145lb last summer before an injury and want to get to 140lb or under. At the moment I'm a UK 12/14 and last year I was a 10/12. I've a big bust (even at 145lb I was a 32F, currently 34E/F) so even if I lose weight on top my boobs don't always fit into the smaller size.

    My goal is to fit comfortably in UK size 10 jeans

    I'm 5'4"

    When I started last year, I was 209 in size 20-22 pants and 22 tops.

    currently I'm at 162 in six 14 pants and medium tops. Last night I bought a size 12 pair of slacks that I can get into but are still a bit tight. I also bought two size M summer dresses that I would *never* have even picked up last summer. :)

    I have about twenty pounds to get to my goal.

    I'm hoping to get to a size 10 but with my hips I'm not sure it will happen.

    I'm 5'7", currently 157 lbs, and am wearing size 12 pants. No idea on the top since I have big boobs (34G atm). I have a little more than 20 lbs left to lose.

    5'4", 113lbs, UK size 8-10. Used to be about about 105-108lbs and was comfortably a size 6, so I'm not sure if my body shape has just changed :(

    I am 5'4 and I weigh about 135lbs.

    I currently wear a size 5 comfortably and can squeeze into a size three.

    My bodyfat percentage is low though. I am sitting around 14% bodyfat.

    Keep up the good work - the scale isnt always the best indicator of success :)

    Try Old Navy "Sweetheart" cut...smaller waist, but more room for the buttzz & thighzz!

    I am 5'7 and weigh 184. I wear a size 10-14 depending on where it comes from. I have size 10 pants from when I was about 170 and I can still wear them although they are tight. Size 14 fits my legs ok and butt ok but are huge on my waist.

    I am 5'8 182 lbs and wear size 14. My heaviest was 229 lbs and size 20.

    I am not sure what body type I have but I carry most of my weight in my stomach. So dropping in pant size is really difficult.
