    I'm 5'6" and short waisted, and thought I'd never be smaller than a size 10 either. I now wear a medium or size 8-10 top and size 6 or 8 bottoms, depending on the brand and cut. Mostly 6s, though. The size 8 Levis I was so proud of not so long ago now are a little bit too roomy in the thighs and have a gap at the waistband. My current weight is 139lbs, as of this morning. At the start I weighed 180lbs and was spilling out of the tops of my size 14 jeans.

    I like that you asked this because I didn't know so many people weighed about the same as I weigh. I guess most people around me lie about their weight cause it seems "high" to skinny minnies.

    Anyway I am 5'8 and weigh 179 pounds. (LOL, all my friends now know!) I have alot of muscle so I am not mad at those numbers. I have a goal of 164-165 since that is the weight an athletic person should be for my height. Anything past that will be HARD to acheive.

    Hell it's hard now to keep the scale moving in the downward direction.

    Well I hope that helps.

    I'm 5'8", medium frame, currently weigh 171. Goal is 150-155. I currently wear size 14 pants that are various degrees of loose, depending on brand/pant-style.

    Size 12's are a bit tight, but I should be in them within the next 5-10 pounds. I think I wore size 10 back when I was 150-155.

    I am 5'8 and weigh 179. I wear between a 14 and a 16 depending on the cut and what brand it is. I would like to get down to 170.

    I am 5'7.5, 158lbs and my goal weight is 135-140 (it all depends on how I feel and toning of my body). I am also a medium-smallish frame. I am currently a size 10 jeans and an 8 or a 6 dress (depending on designer). Shirts are a medium. My waist is still holding on to the fatness, so jeans and shorts are fitted to fit comfortably in that area, butt looks saggy though! :frown: .

    i'm 5'6-1/2" and look/feel good around 150/160. at 150, I can fit an 8 regular. I'm also large frame, I'll post a pic as soon as my puter gets out of the shop (using work puter now) . at 170, I wear size 12 which is ok - average but NOT great for a bathing suit. course, I'm OLD so doesn't matter as much as for young ppl. I don't really care about looks anymore, just want to feel healthy & buy cuter clothes.

    I am 5' 8 1/2" tall and this morning I hit 150.

    Last weekend, I fit into a size 6 ... which was a first for me. Most of my clothes are size 8's and are getting a little loose ... and I too have a larger than average frame.

    I'm invading your thread. Only 5'5.5" ... don't kick me out for a half-inch.

    I really don't have a goal weight but I know I feel my best under 160-155, so anything below is icing on the proverbial calorie-free cake, y'know.

    Currently, I'm wearing 12s (US) but just a smidgen away from 10s; I could fit into them but don't want people to come up and order breakfast thinking they're at Corner Bakery.

    i'm 5'7-5'8(not quite sure) and weigh 169. I'm a size 8-10 depending on brand and style. I carry a lot of weight in my gut and not so much hips and thighs.

    I'm 5'6.5 and currently weigh 177. My goal right now is around 140. I'm wearing my old size 16's that I'm struggling to keep up! I'm apprehensive about going out and buying new pants when I know I'd probably have to replace them too in a short time. So I think I'm going to wait to lose another 10 lbs. before I get some new clothes :)

    I'm 5'8". Medium-ish frame, my shoulders are way too broad to class me as a small frame. Somewhere in the region of 209lbs at the moment & right now I'd just like to see that go below 200, as that will be the lightest I've been in 15 years I think. Eventual goal is somewhere around 168-175lbs - I'll see how I feel when I get there.
    I'm UK based so I don't think the sizes are going to match, but I'm back in size 16 (UK) jeans & happy with that! Eventual clothes goal? Not a scooby - what looks amazing will do me just fine :bigsmile:
