Height, weight, size?

5'5" 144lbs. Wanted to get to 125lbs but I dont think I'll look good so I'm shooting for 135lbs.

So much diversity - it's amazing and awesome to remember how different we all are, isn't it?

Whoever started this thread, thanks. It's been interesting to get some ideas.
Here's been my journey: (I'm about 5' 4 1/2 ")
179 - size 14
170 - loose 14
157 - comfy 12's
152 - 10's baby!
147 - 8's, why not?!!!!!
144 - My 10's are way baggy... 8's are good... can wear 6's in some brands (but not my favorite AE yet!)

I'd like to think a comfy 6 would be awesome... maybe in the neighborhood of 135?:happy:

5'0" -Yep...I'm tiny.
90 pounds (yes, it's a healthy weight for me)
size 14 in girls or a 1 in juniors pants, small (sometimes medium) tops.

I'm 6'0"

At 205 I was wearing a 14 jean, or a tight 12 in which there was no bending or sitting allowed, tops were XL and dress size was a 10/12.

Currently, at 175ish I can finally fit in "designer sized" jeans in a 31/32 if they have stretch, or a 10/12 depending on the thigh circumference. A medium top fits my waist (but not the girls, they're still L or XL). And my dress/skirt size is an 8 just because of the hips and the chest.

My first goal is 168 and a reliable size 10 in pants and size 6 dress/skirt.

Ultimate goal would be 155 and size 8 pants (28/29 designer), and size 4 dress. But I'm not sure I'll go down that low because my boyfriend and friends have threatened a mutiny if I get too small. :laugh:

You could get down to a 5 if you have a small bone structure. My friend Karen is about 5'11" and wears a 2. She just has to make sure she buys long jeans or they look like capris. :P lol

I'm 5'4" and 166, shooting for 140. I'm in a 12-14 right now. I carry all my weight in my hips, butt, and thighs.

I'm 5'2", weighed under 120 my whole life, even after giving birth (but not while pregnant )
But in the last 6 months I have worked my way up to 130.
None of my size 3's can get over my thighs, and my 5's can get up there but not button.
So, I am now in a size 7 for the first time ever.

I think it has something to do with being over 30 now, I used to be able to eat everything in sight and not gain a pound. People would ask "where do you put it?"
Now, all of a sudden everything I eat sticks to my butt and thighs like I am scotch-taping it there instead of eating it!!!!

I idealy would like to get to 135 and in a size 8 or loose 10 and a medium shirt.... 140 and a 10 would be awesome though... I will make it happen!!!

i think so much of "sizes" has to do with percentage of body fat (muscle vs fat). i am 5'5", 138lbs and wear a size 2-4 jeans, small/medium tops. a lot of people, even trainers at the gym tell me, "you look so small, i cant believe you weigh that much". i have really decreased my body fat percentage and raised my muscle mass so i think that is the reason for my weight. i dont care about the scale but how my body looks/feels.

I am 5'5" and 192 lbs. I can wear a 14 comfortably, and a 12 snugly.

im 5'3 136lbs and a size 4.... thought i was seeing things when i put on the pants with the 4 in them...but nope! never thought i would see anything below a 6 when i started this at a size 10-12 at 170lbs. So anything is possible!!! good luck to you!

Thank you so much for sharing this - I can see from the wide variation that this makes sense to me. FINALLY - a good reason to stop caring about the number on the scale. (Because, to be honest, I didn't have a GOOD reason to start caring in the first place). I'll have to keep focused on that - how I look / feel. Period.
