    Hey I think it depends on your body type. I'm a pear shape so I carry my weight on my hips. I was around 147lbs and in a size ten in Gap pants. However I was running 3 miles a day so while I was still heavy for my height 5'4 but I had lost so many inches. When I first started losing I was a size 14 and 165 lbs in Gap and New York and company pants. Now I'm around 120 in a size 6 in Anne Taylor jeans and a size 8 in Gap jeans. It sucks for me because I carry my weight in my butt, hips, and thighs. Hope that helps.

    I'm similar to this, I've been running alot and I'm prone to having larger, muscular legs (think olympic gymnist with a nice layer of fat, and that's me). I'm in a size 10 I weigh 143, my top is smaller than the bottom. If I keep going it will even out and I assume I will be near 120-125 and in a 6 or so also.

    I am 5'4" and weight about 155, but carry most of my weight around the middle. I am either an 8, 10, or 12 depending on the brand. Wouldn't it be great if there was a bit more transparency in women's clothing sizes?!

    I'm 140 now and I wear between an 8 and a 12 depending on the brand of jeans. But in a dress, I wear a 6 most of the time. So I think when you are in the 150-160 range you should be able to wear a 10 dress, though maybe not a 10 in jeans. Jeans do not forgive, lol.

    If you are 5'3"-5'4" about how much did you weigh as a size 10? I have this dress...my inspiration dress that still has the tags on, and I'm wondering how far I have to go to get to wear it.

    Well, it's not going to be the same for everybody because body compsition (frame size, muscle mass, etc...) plays a major factor in what your healthiest weight should be. For me, I can generally wear a size 10 at about 155-160lbs. However, I have very large bone structure and I'm very muscular. My mom is more or less the same height as me, but our build is different so she has to weigh 145-155lbs to get into a size 10.

    I'm 5'3 and wear a size 10 now. About 143 - 150 ish for me.
    I'm at 142 now, and can get 8's on and buttoned (for the first time ever!), but breathing...not so much. :wink:

    I am right now. I am 155 pounds and an hourglass/slightly pear shape. Even when I was 140 pounds I was still a size 10, I did a lot of lifting this year which is why I am heavier but still the same size.

    I'm 5'4 and the last time I was successful at weight loss, I was 169 and was a size 12. My body shape is bigger bust and hips and smaller waist (hourglass figure). I don't know if that's normal weight or not but I was lifting weights too.

    Interesting to see how all over the map it is. Definitely depends on how you carry your weight! I'm another of the unfortunates that carry most of my weight in my belly/hips/butt. I'm 5'4" and 173 right now, wearing a 16-18 depending on the brand. I wore a 12 when I was at 150 early last year before hitting peri-menopause. Stoopid hormones...

    I am 5'3" 180 pounds...I am in a size 12 right now, so I would guess that at 160-170 I will be able to fit in a 10. I also have a dress I bought at the beggining of my journey that is a size 10....it will be a happy day when I can wear it! Good luck!!

    I'm 5'3" and 185...I wear a size 16. When I was in a 12, I was about 150 lbs.

    I'm 5' 4.5", 206 and either a busty pear or an hourglass. I wear 14 in most dresses and skirts and 16 in most pants. I have big thighs, so that tends to push me into the next size.

    I tend to wear a lower size in dresses than pants always.

    I'm 5'3", 165, and I wear a size 10, but they're getting a bit loose. Even at 170-175, I still fit into a size 10 (though they get a bit snug, lol.) I also carry most of my weight in my hips/thighs/butt area.

    It's interesting to see how many different body types can fit into the same size!

    I'm 5' 3" and when I started MFP I was 149 lbs and wearing size 10 pants,but depending on the make some of them were getting uncomfortably tight and I bought a size 12.

    Actually, buying those bigger pants actually inspired me to start getting healthy again, so, er, yay size 12 pants? (They swiftly got too loose and I enjoyed wearing my size tens for a while again. When I reached 139 or so I could wear my old size 8 pants again.)

    Hmmm...now I'm wondering if I'll EVER be able to wear this dress. My boobs are so freaking big I doubt they'll ever fit into a size 10. I'm a 38DDDish now and a size 16. LAME.




    This is the dress by the way. Size 10 from J. Crew

    I'm 5'3 and have an hourglass shape -- I wear a 10 from 145ish pounds up to about 155ish pounds

    I'll edit to say my current measurements are 36C, 29, 36.

    Its different because I am a pear shape and I am 5'4 and currently at 144lbs and some 10's fit but sometimes I am still in a 12 so it really depends honestly.

    Yes, it depends on your body type and wear you carry your weight! I am pear-shaped. I am 5'4" and I weigh 148, at the moment, and wear a size 11 in jeans. When I was down to 135, last year before getting pregnant, I still wore a size 11! I had to lose about 30 pounds to even drop a jean size!

    I'm 5'3.5 and 163, can fit into some 10's - depends on the brand, style and your body type.

    It depend how you carry your weight. I'm 5'5, weigh 160 and wear a size 14. I've had three kids and carry my weight around my stomach. I'm shooting for 150 but I'll never wear really small jeans I think.
