Hi, I'm Kellie and I'm new to this whole site and I am wondering if any women who are my height could help me. I am currently at 255, I want to get down to 150 and then I want to get down to 130 for my ultimate weight goal. I was wondering if anyone can help me get an idea of what size I would be getting down to. I am currently a large frame body and I wear a size 20 jean with a 1x to 2x shirt. When I get my husband to take pictures of me, I will post them and as I lose weight, I will post progression pics. My husband and I are losing weight together and we are going two different routes. I am using the site and counting calories and he is using the Atkins diet. Any ideas would be great. I have been reading and looking at success stories and I think the idea is great and very motivational to people who are on this long journey to become healthier. Thank you.

    I am 5'2" and have the following stats:

    SW: 235, Size 22WP, 2XL
    CW: 165, Size 12, L
    GW: No weight goal, Size 8/10? Tops will probably never be less than L cuz the girls ain't shrinking! Just working on get the bodyfat % down a bit more.

    I am "dense" - most folks guess my weight at 20lbs less than actual.

    Check out My Body Gallery for real pictures of women - search by height/weight/body shape. I find this helpful as I try to mentally adjust my perceptions of my own body as it is changing.

    Everybody's different so there will be some variation within weight ranges.

    In addition to progress pics, don't forget to get a measuring tape and log your measurements. Sometimes the inches you lose will be more dramatic than the number you see on the scale.

    I'm 5'2.5 and started out at 250 lbs, currently 127 lbs working toward 120 and will see from there where I want to go. BTW your bone structure will never change, if you are a large frame you will always be a large frame. To be sure on that you should measure properly for that. http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/bodyFrame.php try that link it might help.

    I'm considered a small frame.

    This was me at my biggest

    I am 5'2 and currently 216. When I was 140 lbs, I wore a size 7 in jeans and a medium in shirts. Im am def not petite. It will also vary from brand to brand of clothes. So I would say anywhere between a 7 and 10. Good luck on your journey to weight loss. Add me if you like, I need all the motivation in the world to keep me going!!

    I'm 5'3 and 166 pds. and I'm between an 8/10 for pants and tops are small or medium depending on the style. When I was down to 138 about 7 yrs. ago, I was in a 4/6, the 4 was a little tight though. I'm hoping to be more toned this time than last time though.

    I'm 5'2! I weigh around 122 right now and am usually a size 6. I did just buy a pair of size 4s the other day, though. When I was 130, I was a 6, I'm pear shaped. I started off around 170 and was a 14/16 :) I have pics in my profile.

    Hi!

    I'm 5'3".. at my highest was around 168 lbs. and usually wore a 12. I'm now around 125-130 and wearing a size 6.. hoping to get down to a 4 soon. I'm not really monitoring my weight so much anymore but relying more on body fat %.

    Good luck w/your journey!

    Editing to add... I usually wear a women's medium (but could fit into a small in some things). If I buy any men's stuff, I wear a small.. but sometimes that's too big depending on the item.

    I'm 5'3
    At 220, I was in 2x tops, and size 16 jeans

    Now at 180, I'm in an XL (which I think I could go down to a Large, I'm just scared), and my size 14 jeans are baggy, especially on my bum lol

    I have a wide frame and I wear a size 10 in most jeans at 148 lbs. For a better perspective, I wore a size 12/14 when I was 165 lbs and size 9 when I was 135 lbs. It depends on the jeans but that seems to be pretty consistent with what everyone else is saying.

    Edit: I'm 5 ft 2 in. :)

    Hi, welcome to mfp. I am 5'3 trying to get to about 140ish for now. I am 212 and in a size16/18 pant right now. When I was at 123lbs I wore a 5/7 depending on the jeans and small tops. I was extremely fit from working construction as a pile driver. (freeway bridge construction)

    I am 5'2 163 and wear size 8/10. In my default I am wearing a size 8 dress which is a bit tight as you can see. When i was 199 i wore a size 14/16. I guess you would say I have a curvy shape? I tend to hold on to weight all over not just one area. My arms and legs are the last to lose the inches though! Blah! My goal is 125 but I am aiming for 135 for my wedding. Good luck!! You can do this!

    Hi, I'm 5'2" and currently 125-126. I can wear anything from an Express size 4 to a brand from Kohls (juniors) size 9 pants and usually a medium top.

    Welcome and good luck!! I am about 5'2" - 5'-3". My SW was 235 wearing size 20. CW is 185 and wearing 12/14. I have some size 12 pants and some size 14, but my 12's are a wee bit snug and my 14's, will I gotta roll down the waist to get them to fit. Inbetween sucks! I wear a size 12 top/jacket (L) - large frame here too, as well as "dense". When asked for someone to guess my weight they are ALWAYS under and sometimes about 30 pounds less then what I actually weigh. Guess this means I carry my weight well huh? I want ot carry it all the way to the dump and drop it off! Feel free to add me if you are looking for friends!

    i'm 5'3"
    HW: 170-175, size 10-12 pant/dress, M-L top.
    CW: 135 (23.5% body fat) and wear 4 pant, 2 dress, XS top.
    GW: 125 & 18% body fat

    what one size and weight might be right for one person, might not be right for you. make your weight loss goals right for YOU. start w/ smaller goals (10-20lb increments) and re-assess as you get closer to the body you want.

    good luck!

    I'm 5'2" and weight 123 now. I am small framed (5" wrist). I am happy with anything between 115 and 130, really, as long as I am fit (which I am still working on - so I actually expect to gain a few pounds over the next few months).

    I'm 5' 2.5". I am now at 175lbs, but my goal is 155lbs. I met that goal a couple years ago but gained 25lbs in 2012. !55 is a size 10 for me with a med to small top. Just depends on your body type I guess. I like my curves so any smaller and I don't think I would be happy.
