I am a tall girl, and around a size 12-14. I'm 5'10, and 193 lbs. I'm just curious as to what others are, I'm not sure if its even possible to be a size 5 at my height. Just wanted to know if anyone else wanted to share. Thanks!

    I am 5'11" and weigh 161.4 lbs....I am trying to get down to 155, but if I can't get there I will be ok with just toning up. I wear a size 10 or 12 depending on the brand.

    I want to know this, too!! Both of you have me excited to get down that small. I'm 5'10" and I currently weigh 224. I'm wearing size 18-20 right now. I don't remember ever wearing anything that wasn't considered "plus size". I would love to be in a 10!!!!

    I am the same! 5'5", 141 lbs, I wear an 8 to 10 on the bottom and a small or medium top.
  • I'm glad everyone decided to share! I agree I'm glad we can post and feel comfortable. I think that's the first step is admitting our size and weight, can't say I've told anyone else this, atleast without fudging the truth a little. My new fave quote I've seen on so many other posts, "nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!" Amen! Something that tastes good only brings a few minutes of joy, where as meeting a new goal brings more joy, and its longer lasting!

    yea, like i said im quite tall. and my bone structure is really really big. not just using the ol' 'im big boned!' an excuse

    a ten would be amazing to get into, i dont think my hips would fit in anything smaller. i had exposed ribs and serious hip bones at 180. but i was still unhappy as can be. at 180 i was a 12.


    oops that was supposed tbe quoting someone up there!

    but to reply to that quesiton, which i totally missed. id prob say yes. a 16 while it is a bigger number, would still look better! slimmer even because youll be held together well.

    i wore one of those silly sexy halloween costumes even this year, and yea it was a 1x but i got compliements alll night about how good i looked. now if ihad squeezed into a normal large i woulda just been a stuffed sausage

    I'm 5'8, 196pds and fit in a size 12-14 jeans. When I was a freshman in high school and my skinniest (I think I was 138pd) I squeezed into a size 6 for about a month I think. Even if I lost enough weight to be "underweight" for my height I don't think my hips would allow me to ever fit into a size 4 or smaller. I'm hoping to eventually get down to a size 8-10 by summer!

  • I'm 5ft 3..shawtieee :(
    Weight- 126 lbs

    Thanks for posting this, as I've always wondered as well!

    I'm 5'6" and 201 lbs. I currently wear a size 14 but can now squeeze into a 12 if I don't want to be comfortable or look good! I'm hoping to get back into the size 10s that I wore my senior year of high school.

    There's not much you can do about bone structure. I have the opposite issue. I have narrow hips but broad shoulders and a large rib cage. When I was underweight in my teens (hard to imagine that now), I wore size 3 or 5 in pants but a 10 or 12 on top.
  • I'm 5'6 1/2 and my curent weight is 165. My jeans size is 12 and I wear medium tops. My goal weight is 135 and I would like to be a solid 8/10. Even when I have been at my lowest weight and was thin ( around 135) the smallest size pants I could get into was an 8 and only in a few brands. I really do think it has alot to do with your structure. I am not a tiny girl even when I am at my thinnest

    yea, after i had my son i got down to about 230 veryy easily cause it legit just came off in a months time with no effort. but i wasnt wearing jeans at all, i figured why by them if i had a whole bunch of 14s waiting for me. but i probably woulda been a squeeeeezed in 16 or a comfortable 18. but i was captain sweatpants for the first few months i didnt care
  • I'm 5'3, so definitely short, not tall like you gals! However, I wish I was a few inches taller. :wink:
    I wear a size 6. I'm 125 lbs and wanting to get back into my size 2 jeans and down to 110-112 lbs!

    Hello all...I'm 5'2" and I weigh 163 lbs. I am currently a size 10 and a medium in the shirts.

    Those of you who have gone down in sizes...do you still go to the bigger sizes? I will go to the mediums and think oh that won't fit me...try it on and is like blown away cuz it does. I am getting better but it really is like my brain hasn't caught up with my body changes.
  • I am a shorty. 5'3". I weigh 159 currently and fit size 11's comfortably. My baby weight wants to stick around.:mad:

    This is a great topic! I think it can be helpful to compare, and it's nice that people are willing to share this info.

    Something interesting from my own experience with this...
    I am 5'5", was 132lbs (obviously not anymore, since I'm 7mo pregnant) and a size 6.
    I decided to add some weight training to my cardio, and lost no weight.
    I was a little bummed at the "plateau" ...
    Until I went shopping and realized that at the same 132lbs, I had gone down to a size 4.

    Just one more reason to go by how your clothes fit or tape measure, rather than the scale alone.

    I am 5 8ish amd am at 160 and can fit into some 12's but some are still tight. I am hoping to get down to a comfy 8 or 10 depending on my final weight. I have broad sholders for a female so I will always be a large shirt. Can somone 5 ft 8 be 145 and not look sick?
