    I am just under 5'2 and started at about 188 lbs and wore a size 16 in pants and XL in tops. I am now 121 and wear a size 4 in pants and a S in tops. Good luck and I love that you and your husband are doing this together :smile:

    Thanks everyone for giving me an idea of what to kind of expect. Like many of you said, it all depends on your body type. I don't know if I will have curves and hips or if I will be straight as a pin, but I now know what to expect. Thank you all for your encouragement as well. If you would like to add me as a friend, go right ahead, I need all of the motivation and support I can get. This will be a long journey, with hopefully the outcome of being healthy, living longer and being able to do things I would have never thought possible.:smile:

    Yeah I think it all depends, especially on how much muscle you have. I am 5'2 and right now 186lbs and I fit mostly comfortably in a 12 although there are a couple of pairs or pants that I can almost pull over my hips without undoing. I'm an XL shirt, too broad across the shoulders but fits my chest. I have pretty fat arms though, I think my arms and thighs are bigger than a lot of people the same size as me (but maybe I'm just self conscious haha!) I am wearing a pair of pants now, that fit me when I was 10-15lbs lighter about 5 years ago. These same pants will be too big then (and they are not stretched out, as they are a new pair-I then got too fat for them LOL). I'm wearing a sz 32 jean now. I wore a 25 waist jean and was a sz 0/2 at 115lbs in high school (too small for my liking!), but usually buying bigger shirts for my bust. When I was about 120-125lbs I was a size 4-6, and a 26-27 waist jean. When I was 150lbs some years ago I was a size 9 and I think a 30 waist jeans.

    This "photographic height/weight" chart is really interesting: http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.html

    I was 5'2" but since I got old I am now 5'1". I started where you did, wearing a tight size 20 jean. I now comfortably fit a size 18 jean after losing 43 pounds. Stick with MFP. It does work. It has helped me to not gain this winter, which was an annual pattern for me. I have seasonal depression. Even if I had a bad day, or a bad week, I was motivated to keep trying with the support here. I have no idea what sizes are like now. I do know that was used to be a size 10 is now a size 4 or 6. Clothing manufacturers have made sizes bigger to make women feel better so they buy more clothes. Just pay attention to how you look and feel and throw out the scale- it is not a good indicator of progress! Inches and muscle tone!

    OP: Hello fellow Kelli(e)! I am 5'2, currently 166 lbs. I wear a size 10 or 11. When I was at 153, I was almost into an 8.

    It definitely depends on your body shape as well, I am an hourglass and I carry a lot of weight in my booty and thighs (as well as up top) but my midsection is a bit smaller.


    Good luck, and all of you fellow shorties feel free to add me!!

    I'm 5'2", DD chest, 155 and today I'm retiring my size L shirts today and going out to buy size M. I can fit into M and S but my boobs prevent me from zipping anything up past the girls in a S. I'm currently in a size 12 slacks and jeans, but might be able to get into a 10 - I refuse to have a muffin top so I'll wait. I'm the epitome of hourglass so my hips are larger then most, but I can feel the hip bones standing and see the hip bones when I lie down as well as my ribs. My goal is 130 as well and I'm curious to see where I get in size. Believe me, the day I fit into a regular woman's large top and bottom I cried. Now they are all too big for me. I started Jan 2, 2011, and in the year I spent over $1600 in clothes, almost all it doesn't fit me anymore. Good luck, missy, you are in for a crazy wonderful emotional ride. :flowerforyou:

    I am 5'3" and I weight 158 pounds. I have a small frame. I wear size 16 petite jeans. I wore size 18 women's petite when I started my weight loss journey last year ( January) and I have lost 22 pounds since then. I joined My Fitness Pal January 4, 2013.

    Good luck on your weight loss journey!!

    Really depends on how you are built and where you carry your weight, but I am just over 5'2", currently around 140 and wearing a 4 on the bottom and a M on top. My goal is 125-130 and that will put me at a 2 on the bottom, but I have no hips. I don't anticipate dropping sizes on top because I have super broad shoulders. Good luck with your journey!!!!

    Well, it really depends on your body type. I have an hour glass figure, but my hips are not wide. I am 5'2" and when I was 130 lbs I was wearing a size 6.

    I am 119 now
    Waist: 24 3/4"
    Hips 35"
    Size 2
    body fat 14.8%

    I'm 5'2. Currently I weigh 172 I'm in a 10/12 pants and a M/L shirt. When I was at my smallest and weighed 135 I was in a size 6 pants and a S/M shirt. I have a huge butt and thighs. I don't think that I would want to be any smaller than I was then, more toned yes, but that was a great weight for me. It really all depends on your frame and shape and weight distribution.
