    I am 5'6" (small frame) and currently weigh 169. I currently wear size10/12 bottoms and M/L tops. My goal is 135, which will hopefully be a size 6/8. Don't shoot me, but before having my two kids (who are almost 13 & 15) I was a 115 pound size 4. The closest I have gotten to that post children was 127 size 6, but that was 10 years ago!! Now being over 40, I don't think I can achieve that again (or realistically maintain it if I do), so I am shooting for 135-140, to be in the middle of the "normal" BMI range.

    I am just under 5'6'', and I've always been really curvy/muscular. If I'm under 145, I look strange and almost a bit sickly. So, my goal weight is 150. (I look best as a size 8/10, so that's what I'm aiming for.) :)

    I am 5'7" and currently around 170, I wear a 10/12. My goal is 155-160 and a size 8. The last time I was a size 8, I weight 149 but I have a lot more muscle than I used to so I think another 10-15 should do it. It seems like it is taking forever though!

    5'7" - started at 165 and am currently at 153. My goal is 140 however when I had a BMR done, I was told my ideal weight should be 149. It's taken 6 months to get here, I'll see how I feel once I hit 149! I've definitely gone down in size - from a 10/12 to a 6/8.

    We are exactly the same! I'm 5'7 and 153. I'm a large frame girl, with curves. I'm wearing mostly 8's now but I need to do some shopping becuase my pants sag in the bootie.

    I'm 5-8" and weigh 170 lbs and wear a size 10! Don't think I'm going to get any smaller either! Started out of 300 lbs wearing a size 24!

    I'm 5'8" and currently 175.6 and I'm a "slightly-too-tight-but-don't-want-to-buy-bigger" size 10. At my highest ever (college) I was about 185 and a size 12.

    My goal weight is to get back to my pre-husband weight of about 152 and a size 6-8, although I'd really love to make that 145 and a size 4-6. No big deal if I stop at 150 as I was in good shape then. Time will tell I suppose!!

    Started at 292 and am currently 191. I wear mostly 14s and some 12s. My body shape and the current trend for low rise jeans don't mix! I am 5'8" with a large frame. My first goal is going to be 160 then I am going to have my body fat tested again and decide where to go from there. I seriously doubt I go lower than 150 though. I would love to be a size 8 when all is said and done.

    I am 5'8.5" and 160, my dress pants are size 8 and loose but my jeans are either 8 or 10 and depending on the brand 10 fits better. My goal weight is 145, but I am pretty happy now, would love to get to the 150's and see if my size changes, my daughter gets married in June and I want to be very fit for that. I am 47 and in the best shape that I have been in for several years. MFP has really helped me to stay focused.

    I'm 5'7" Currently 185, size 14. I'm going for a goal of 145 or size 6 pants, whichever comes first. (I want to gain muscle!) I was a size 8/9 my freshman year of high school at 139lbs, but was all baby fat/flab. (Haven't worn a single digit size since :sad: )

    I read a thread on here where a girl started lifting heavy and only lost 1lb over a few months, but dropped from a 12 to a 6!!! So I think I can do it! (Her pictures are amazing.) :love:

    I am 5'7". I weigh 192. Size 14 is a bit loose, but size 12 is a bit tight for me. My goal is about 155, which is a size 8 to 10 for me.

    Well, I used to be 5'7". A few days ago I was measured at the doctor's office and told I'm closer to 5'6". Apparently I'm not just losing around the waist and hips, but off my height too. :tongue: (Actually, my bones probably settled differently after pregnancy, but saying I lost weight by losing height is funnier)


    Anyway, I'm currently 164 pounds, and in a medium (8?) shirt, though I'm still mostly wearing my larges that I got to replace the XLs a couple months ago. Today I wore a fitted button up medium shirt and have gotten compliments. Pants, I'm hanging out in a 11-12, which is funny with all my curves I'd have thought the junior size 11 wouldn't fit too well. I still wear two size 14 pants, as they are very nice slacks and although baggy they still look OK and I can't convert my work wardrobe right now. Skirts with elastic waists have been a lifesaver, work-wise.

    At my highest weight, 210, I wore a tight size 16 in pants (probably should have been in 18s honestly) and XL in shirts.

    When I was last 143 (thinnest weight post-puberty), I wore a size 6-ish top and size 8 pants. I am shooting for a 21% BF, if that puts me in size 6-8 pants I will be so happy and proud of myself. I have a size 4 sister in law, she's a tiny thing and I don't think I could be in a size 4 unless I shaved off my hip bone bumps, so once I hit a size 6 I'll know I'm as small as I can ever be.
