    5'10"
    177 lbs.
    BMI 25.5
    BF: 26.11%
    Size: 10 and sometimes 12 pants, Small or occasionally Exra Small in shirts (unless it has buttons, then I'm probably a Medium)

    I was 280 pounds, BMI 40.2, BF 55% when I started. I wore a 24W in pants and XXL shirts.

    That being said, I personally think it's more important to focus on how healthy you are rather than what size you are in.

    I'm 5'7" Once upon a time, I weighed 155 lbs and wore a size 12. People told me that I was sexy. My mom thought I looked too skinny. So I know that I'm not going to ever wear a size smaller than a 10 or 12.

    Right now, I'm at 244 and my size 20 clothes fit.

    Height: 5'6
    Current weight: 168
    BMI: 27.1 (smack in the middle of the "overweight" category)
    Current size: ALL over the map. Anywhere from 10 to 14 (though pretty much all my 14s are baggy now, yay!)

    I really just want to be solidly into the "regular" sizes, a solid 10 would be lovely!

    and I wear 5 through 8 depending on the brand and whether its juniors or womens. . . my thighs and boobs tend to make me have to go UP on dress sizes where as my waist lets me have smaller sizes. ..

    Wow, a lot has changed since August, when this was originally posted.
    I'm now at around 22% body fat, weigh somewhere between 161-164 and wear mostly Size 6 pants, although there's still an occasional 8.
    Also, apparently I only posted my MFP starting stats. I actually was 294 at my heaviest with 56% body fat.

    I'm 5'6", weigh 123 pounds, and my BMI is 19.9.

    At the start I weighed 180 pounds and wore a size 12-14 or large top and size 14 pants. Actually I was beginning to spill out of my 14 pants, which as one of my impetuses to lose weight. Now I wear a size 8-10 or medium top, sometimes a small, and usually size 4 pants.
    i think it depends too on where you where your pants if that makes sense?? like if you button at your bb then they should be smaller than if you button and let em sag to your hips. my legs and hips also keep me from wearing a smaller size!

    Smaller also if you have relatively small hips and thighs. I have a wedge shaped build with proportionately long, lean legs and a short, boxy torso with a shorter than average gap between my fairly narrow pelvis and not so narrow rib cage - so not much of a waist. Pants that are cut to fit at my natural waist tend to be WAY too roomy in the butt and thighs - positively tent like - if the waistband is large enough to not cut off circulation to my lower extremities. I do much better if they're cut to fit at my belly button or little lower. Fortunately, mid rise is dominant right now, so I don't have any difficulty finding pants that fit. That hasn't always been true.

    I'm 5'2.5" and 134 and I wear a small on top, unless there's "dedicated boob space" which means I'll need a medium. I also wear a size 4 in pants. In all fairness, I like my stuff fitted and I have relatively small hips.
