    Height: 5'6
    Weight: 176lbs

    I currently wear a UK 12 trouser which I believe is a US 8, and a size 12-14 top (US 8-10). Really interesting thread to see where everyone is at.

    Great discussion, I find the sizing of many fascinating, the other that I think plays a role in sizes would be bra size. I am just under 174 and have not bought a lot of clothes since losing weight, I found some that I fit back into so I have been making due with those, for bottoms, those are 12-14's those many of these are very loose. Tops I have been able to alter down to make due, again not buying a lot until I am closer to goal. Before losing any weight at 231 (at least) I was XL-1XL tops, and 16-18 bottoms - ugh it is painful to type that but a good reminder.

    The clothes I have bought out of necessity or excitement that I fit in them, have been 8 and 10 bottoms, the 8's are tight but fit, 10 would be the more comfortable size right now, but my goal is a comfy 8. For tops most are mediums and a few large, depending on cut and reason for purchase, ie some clothes look better with some room.

    I have also found I cannot stand to wear baggy clothes, they just make me look big and sloppy, of course when 60 pounds heavier that was almost all I wear now I cannot bear that look even just hanging around the house. I have bought a few items too tight which has been very fun to have them going from not fitting to becoming loose.

    I want to get to 145-155 or so, I am hoping I will know when I get there which I am figuring will not be until next March or so. I would also like to be a size 8 bottoms, M top. I find it interesting and exciting some in this range are a size 6, I honestly cannot fathom being in that size, but you never know. I have been doing more strength training and hope to moving to heavy lifting at some point in the future.

    I have not gotten new bras which has been the slowest to lose which could be a reason I can fit into 8-10's when others might be in 12-14's at the same weight as me.

    5'7, when exercising I look my best at 130, I'm 127 now but look thinner at 130lbs..funny how that works! Your body type may be different of course. I have a friend who is more muscular than I am and looks thinner & healthier at a higher weight than I do now.

    We are all shaped differently, so even if we weigh the same, we may all fit into different sizes. Maybe your waist is just wider than other people's waists of your weight. It is a very interesting post!

    I am 5'7" and my weigh fluctuates, but is generally now in the 120's. I wear a 2-4 in jeans and an XS on top. Size 0 dress. I was 175 and a 12 (which should really have been a 14 but I refused to go higher) LOL!
