    Finding this thread so interesting as a 5'6 er myself. One thing I am noticing is that some people seem to weigh more than me but look really slim. It's making me think I mustn't have much muscle tone which might be why I am relatively light but have excess fat in certain areas. Also it seems that people of different weights are wearing the same size clothes, perhaps this is down to body shape? I find I have to wear bigger tops and dresses to accommodate my chest and shoulders but they are often too big on the hips. All very interesting anyway.

    I'm 5'6" and weight 155. I'm a size 8 depending on the brand.

    At my smallest 137 I was a size 4 (and could fit some 2's)

    I'm 5'6 and 170 lbs. I am wearing a (US) size 12 pants, but think I can probably start squeezing myself into a 10 as my 12s are getting baggy. I wear a size Medium or Large shirt depending on the style.

    I'm 5'6 and 158 lbs - size 8 jeans, 10/12 on top/dresses. Not due to breasts, as these booblets don't add much - I just have a broad rib cage that cannot/will not get smaller.
    When I was 220, I wore a size 18 in Old Navy Jeans (meaning, probably a 20 elsewhere, they tend to be generous in their sizing).

    amazing how body composition changes the fit of your clothing. i love the variety here!

    5'6 - 141 lbs, size 4 pants, small tops -- my butt and thighs are stretching my pants out now, but the waist is gaping. (Hello, squat booty!!) and my shoulders are too broad for my smaller tops now, although sleeveless tops i can still wear XS if they have a little give.

    5'6" 142. Size 8 or 10 (sizes are too inconsistent in women's clothing brands)

    I am 41 years of age 5'6" and according to most apps I am "obese". I weigh 211.5. I am looking to get down to 170 where I was wearing size 10/12 Mediums. I do have larger bones with an hour glass shape. I think for most women it comes down to shape and even bone structure. I think the greatest thing we can do for ourselves as women is not try and compare ourselves to one another but be happy with who we are and feel comfortable in our own skin :)

    I'm 5'6", 168lbs, hourglass shape, and my size 8 pants are pretty snug. I carry a lot of weight in my chest, especially when I'm heavier. Most of my shirts are medium, but I'd be more comfortable in a large right now.

    My goal is 145lbs, where I will be a comfortable size 6 and medium top. Looking forward to getting back into "normal" sized bras.

    Around 130lbs, I'm a size 4/5 but I don't really need to get that small again.

    I have to ask what brand some of you ladies wear. I'm 5'6" 143 and wear a 9 jeans, 8 dress pants, medium or large top (depending on brand). I'm amazed when I see someone with the same height and weight saying they were a 4 jeans.

    I am 5'6 1/2 and I currently weigh 176. I wear a size 8 in some pants and most dresses and in some pants and skirts size 10/12. I am pear shape so I can wear smaller sizes on top which tend to be S/M/L. It all depends on the style.

    When I had got down to 155 I was able to comfortably wear size 6 and squeeze into a 4 for skirts and dresses. I am working towards getting there again.

    although brand plays a big role, especially in different areas of the world, so does body fat percentage and lean muscle mass. a runner, a couch potato, and a body builder all with the same height and weight will not wear the same sized clothing, no matter what brand.
    *but since you asked, and i'm 2 lbs less than you, i wear a 4 in Old Navy, New York & Company, Calvin Klein, Ann Taylor, etc. and 5 in most junior brands, albeit with little room in the thighs.

    I'm 5'6" and weigh in about 162 lbs. I'm usually about a size 10/12 pant but because I'm fairly muscular across the back and shoulders and I have long arms so I usually wear large to extra large shirts.
