    Hello There!

    I am 5'7" and I weigh 130 but I am a 6-8 in jeans and usually a Medium in tops :). I have a medium sized, hour glass frame. It is always interesting to see how varied sizes can be, even when two people are the same weight!
  • I'm 5'7 or 8. I don't know which inch haha. I'm 206 and I wear size 16!

    One of these days i'll be in a 4 :)
  • im 5'9-5'10 and weigh right around 140. im wearing size 9 jeans :)

    You were probably in a Jr. size ten instead of a Misses? Right now I'm 5'7" and about 185 lbs. I'm wearing a size 14. I'm hoping to get down about 40 lbs and see what happens.

    I'm 5'7", 165lbs, and in size 6 to 8 jeans (dependent on the brand), and small to medium shirts (again, brand dependent).
  • Where do you shop for pants? I think some brands run small especially expensive ones

    5'8" and a size 8 pants and medium top at 158 lbs. I have a pear shape. I have a vintage 1960 skirt in a size 14 that's too tight to wear. I think sizes have changed over the years!

    5'4" 132ish, wear 26-27 (2-4) pants and small/extra small shirts.
  • Your shape would have a lot to do with it also, if you are an apple or a pear, etc.

    5"7" and a size 14 Misses in Fashion Bug jeans and pants as well as the Lee Riders at Wal-Mart. I'm hoping that will have dropped to a 12 when I go out shopping this weekend. I'm sitting at 181 lbs and everything is loose on me at the moment.

    I'm 5'8" and 136 and my sizes vary sooooo much! I have jeans from Old Navy that are a size 2, but shorts from Old Navy that are a size 6 and they both fit the same. Calvin Klein dresses are an 8, have other brands that range from a size 2 to 6! I have some old (really old) size 12 things that I can get away with wearing fit-wise, so I definitely think sizes have changed over the years. I don't consider myself small, so I'm not sure what size really tiny people wear if I can fit into a size 2.

    Im not as tall as you guys, just wanted to share some info. When i weighed 150 i wore a size 10. My friend was 150 and wore a size 14. We are about the same height. And yes sizes have changed. I read that somewhere.
  • 5'8" , 160lbs and a size 10, although 11 (if the store has them) are more comfortable.

    Am looking to get down to 140lb and will see where I'm at!
  • I am almost 45 yrs old, 5'5", started at 185 lbs, now down to 169. Haven't changed pant size yet but these ones are getting loose. Started eating better, and trying to incorporate exercise. Lost inches for sure.

    I am 5'8', weigh 186, and a snug size 10 pants... My goal for now is to get down to 165 and a size 7/9 (odd sizes) or 6/8(even sizes) size... As my weight loss progresses, I will make appropriate adjustments to my goals depending on where I feel comfortable..
  • I am 5'7 .. 171 and this morning put on a size 8 :D

    5'7" started losing weight at 185, wore a 13/14 tight...now I'm 168 & in a size 11.. most jeans fit perfect or are a little tight.. could prob squeeze into a 9, but it wouldn't look good.

    This morning I weighed 197. And just fit back into some size 18s. People must sure be shaped differently at the same weights.
  • 5'6.5" and sitting at 145. i am very curvy, 12" difference between by waist and hips. i am sitting at a 4 or a 6 depending on the brand and a small or medium top.

    5'7" ... So when I am thin, skinny, I'm like a 4-6, long. I mean like 140 pounds of lean tight muscle.

    Then I got fat! D'oh.
    When I was about 200 pounds, I was wearing my boyfriend's pants, 'cause mine didn't fit.
    I got back to 190-195, and put on my own size 14s.
    185ish, I was a size 12.
    The past couple months I've been ~180, and was in size 10 but squeezing in.
    Dropped a few more pounds, and now I'm around 173 pounds, and can fit my (slightly stretched out) size 8 jeans.
    I think around 165-170 I'll solidly be in size 8s, right when they come outta the dryer.

    :)
  • Hello, I'm 5.7'' When I'm skinny I'm in a size 5 long.. But since I put on the weight I've rocketed to a size 6 long, 140-146lbs currently. My damn weight won't stop fluctuating. ): LOL, What can I say, I got curves. (hourglass) But the weight that looked best on me was 117, and I haven't been there since I had started boarding school, size 3. Gained the freshman 15 and well... five years later, a bit more. Since I hit adulthood though.. the lowest I've hit was 124, size 5. That's my main goal.
