    Im too short to answer your question personally, BUT, You can go to www.mybodygallery.com and type in the height and weight, and it will bring up pictures of people with those stats! Hope that helps.

    Wow this website is a good reference. Thanks for sharing!

    10 or 12. Clothes are cut so differently these days.

    i really think it all depends on how you carry your weight, and that's dif for everyone, at 177 and 5.4 i could wear a size 11.

    160 is < 8 for me. 150's are 6, 140's are 4.

    This is the best solution. :)

    Based on where I've been. I am 5'4.5" and 160 that should work out to be a 10 on me.

    depends on the brand but I'm an 8-10 (I have a pair of jeans in a 6 but that's a fluke) at 165.

    But I'm heavier than I look by ....a lot. Depends how YOU carry weight. I'm heavy in general and muscular right now besides. I expect to be a comfortable 6 at 155.

    I am 5'7". At 160 I was a 10/12. Now at 151, most 10s are too big. Once upon a time, at 135, I was a 2/4...that's where I'm trying to get to now! :)

    This is what is absolutely amazing to me. I was exactly 132 all through high school (I briefly made it to 127, but that didn't last...my body wanted 132 and nothing less) and at 132 I was a 10/12. At 140-145 I was barely squeezing into a 12. And I'm 5'5", so I'm only two inches shorter than you, and you are a 2/4 at the same-ish weight. It's like a cruel joke on me. So frustrating to know there is apparently no way in all of Hades that my body will let me get to a 6/8. :sad: :explode: :sad: :mad: :sad:

    We all end up carrying it differently. More strength training! I've always been "solid" and I was a 12-14 at 180. (I am 5'4.5")

    I started mfp at 160 and was a size 13-15... Much larger than most other ppl reported. I am a major pear shape and usually wear boot cut jeans that sit low on the waist... That may make a difference. I am now 140 and wear a 10 -12...but mainly 12s

    5ft, 5-1/2in @ 168 and I'm wearing a 10. When I was 173# I was wearing a 12 but then I added lifting heavy. Six weeks later I had only lost 1# scale weight but, at 172# fit into size 10's. I was a pear shape and am now more of an hourglass but I still carry most of my weight in my butt, hips and saddlebags and lifting heavy is really helping me lose inches in those areas.

    I'm 5'5' and 150 pounds in a size 12. My biggest problem though is belly. I have big boobs and no waist, small hips. Not a good look.

    YES! This is me! Exactly! (Well, when I was 150 anyway) I thought I was the only non-waif that had the no waist/hip thing. I have a giant gut and no hips.

    When I started gaining weight years ago, it was about 10 years ago that I was 160 pounds, I wore a size 14/16 at 160 back then.
    I'm 5"6 and had a stick skinny/boyish shape (no/super small boobs, no/super small hips, nor no/super small butt) ...an apple:indifferent:

    Today, i'm between 179.8-181 pounds and wear a size 14/16 now...go figure:indifferent:

    So...clothes sizing has/have definitely changed. I see people wearing a size 6 now that were considered a size 10-12 back then, when I wore a size 6 when I was 118 pounds and stick skinny. Today that 118 would be a size zero or size 2
