    What was your starting weight? I also am 5'4 1/2 and I started at 223 (feb 12') and have lost 17 lbs. and went from a size 18 to a 13/14...... I have another 45+ to loose before summer.... feel free to add me, I'm always on MFP. I log EVERYTHING! :) It might just be the way your body spreads out it's weight. I hold most of mine in my butt and thigh area and my arms, it's the curse of the hour glass figure! :)

    My starting weight was 230. I haven't seen below 200 since April of 2009. I'm at 213.5 now and am just itching to get down below 200 so badly.

    I've always weighed more than I look. I got married at 19, and weighed 135, (5 lbs MORE than my husband!!) and wore a size 9/10 wedding dress. Even now at 230 I can fit into a size 18W. And currently am walking out of those!! My ultimate goal isn't necessarily size, but being able to keep up with my family, and overall health. While I enjoy seeing the numbers go down and the clothes becoming looser, my overall fitness is the most important thing to me. Hubby loves me even though I'm overweight, so I'm sure he'll love me if I'm a 14 too.

    I started my journey at 197 and was a tight 16/18. I was in size 16s until I was probably in the low 180s/high 170s. I just recently got into 12s and I'm around 165. I'm 5'4".

    5'3" and 200. Size 14. ( I swear 50 pounds of that must be boobs!)

    OMG yes! I'm a DD and these suckers carry some serious weight that is for darn sure! Even when I was thin I never wore a L or Medium shirt. Always an XL.

    Hi, I'm 5'4" and weigh 186, I wear a 14 in slacks and a 15 junior in jeans. When I was size 16 I was around 205ish, but I could start wearing size 14 slacks around 195. I carry my weight pretty well, most people don't realize that I still have 60+ pounds left to lose, so basically what I'm saying is that I'm proportionate. I gain and lose everywhere, butt, boobs, thighs, stomach, etc.

    I am 5'2 1/2 and weigh 200.2., and I am now fitting into a 14/16. I am very solid, and when I was at my ideal BMI and size, at size 8 I weighed 140lbs. The charts used to say i needed to be 110. Can't go by charts.

    I'm 5'5" and I wore a size 18 at my starting weight at 245. Now I weight 219, and I wear a size 16. I say as long as the clothes fit you nicely, then don't worry about the number! :)

    I'm 5'4 and weigh 172lbs and depending on the make am a size 16 or 14!

    You may, not only have more weight because of muscle density, but possibly because you have good bone density!

    I'm 5'2, around 155 lbs, and i'm in a size 12 now, but they're starting to feel loose. Around 170 lbs. i was wearing a size 14. Looks like everyone is different and depends on body composition. I'm an apple shape, so i have to buy a bigger size to fit around my larger waist, and then pants are baggy because i have skinny legs and not much rear end!

    I am also 5'4" and weighed 188 two years ago when I first started working out and wore a size 16. Today I weigh 143 and wear between a 6-8, depending on the brand of clothing.

    I too was always bigger than all my friends growing up. I am 32 now and weigh less than I did in highschool!! You can do anything you put your mind to. Keep it up and good luck! :)
