    I am 156 pounds right now and 5'4" as well, I am a medium or large top and my pants are 12s and some 10s fit too. I know when I've been closer to 150 (pre-kids) I was wearing pretty much all 10s. Been too long since I've been 140 to know/remember what size that was :)

    Depends on what KIND of 140 pounds.

    I've been 140 after losing weight just dieting and I was a 10 or 11

    When I started working out three years ago,I was a size 8 at 140.

    Since I started lifting weights about four months ago,I'm 133 and a size 4/6

    When I was skinny, I was wearing 6-8 when I weighed that much. My lowest was 125 and a 2. I'm 5'8 with a medium to small sized frame.

    Def depends on how you get to 140!!

    Diet and exercise at 145lbs and I'm a 10, which is what I'm aiming for again. Diet alone and its more a 12/14

    I'm 5' 5 1/2 and an hourglass figure

    I weigh 141.5 right now. I just went shopping today for work pants because mine are too big. I found out I am mostly a size 6. Some 4's, and some 8's. A small in everything else. First time around in the dressing room I got all 8's and tried them on and all were too big. Great NSV today! My height is 5' 6.5 inches, and I am an hourglass/pear. I got to this weight by counting calories and exercise. Both weight lifting and cardio.

    i'm 5'8 I was a size 3/4 at 140 lbs it really depends on height

    It really does depend on your body type. You sound like we are similar, as I am 160 and a size 13/14 in jeans although I am about 5'6".

    The last time I was 140 pounds, vanity sizing didn't exist...I was a size 14. :D

    I figure I will be close to a current size 10 when I hit 140. The last time I was a size 10, I weighed 120. Again...vanity sizing.
  • My 140 (8 pounds ago)

    Size 10 jean (Comfortable, I could SQUEEZE into an 8)
    Medium Top - I have pretty big shoulders.

    5'9", and a size 4 (pants/jeans--or a 2 in the brands that partake in vanity sizing :/ ), and maybe a 6 in tops.
    I have quite a bit of muscle.

    I am 5'6, 140 currently, and about a size 8.

    I have a ghetto booty, though. My butt and thighs....

    I'm 5'4" and when I was 140, I was a 6-8 in misses or usually a 7 in juniors. I'm pretty small framed and hourglass shaped though, and I carry weight on my upper arms and breasts. My waist was about 28 inches, though, which is why I didn't wear a larger size.

    I'm 5'4 138.. pretty close ... and a size 4..I fill em out perfectly w no muffin top and when I get down to 132 they are too baggy... It's all in the muscle the more you have the smaller more dense you body gets
    Sooo although you may have a gf that is the same height and weight if she has LESS muscle then she will look bigger :flowerforyou:

    AND vice versa more muscle you look smaller

    Sizes have changed radically in the last 25 years or so. When I was in high school and weighed 140 I was a size 14/16. 10 years ago I was 140 and a size 10. I have a pear shape and pretty big hips even at 110 lbs. (110 lbs was a size 6, 20 years ago. Couldn't go lower than a 6 without rearranging my bones, but I tried!) I am 5 feet tall.

    Just to show how much fluctuation there is: I am 5'5", but significantly heavier than you. I weighed 190 lbs as of this morning and wear a size 12-14 jeans (which I also wore at 200 lbs, though less comfortably!) I have several pairs in both sizes from different run-of-the-mill stores, like Target and Shopko and Old Navy. Tops are L-XL-XXL depending. SO much variety in builds and sizes, it might be difficult to guess where you may be when you hit 140, until you actually get there.

    ETA: The last time I was close to 140 (I was never closer than 160 in high school) I wore an 11, so sizes are very different now!)

    I went from 250 to 164 pounds currently from eating right and working out. a lot of hard work and determination. my goal size is a size 9/10 is what I am aiming for the lowest size for me would be a size 4/6.

    i'm 5'3" and at 140 lbs., i was a size medium in tops, and a size 8 in bottoms.

    I am 5'3" medium frame, although I do not carry weight very well. When I started my weight loss I weighed 165 and took a size 14 in pants and a large in tops. I am currently 134lbs and still have a ways to go. I still have my fat tummy. It will definitely be the last to go away. When I weighed 140 I took a size 10 pants. I am just now getting into some size 8's and a medium in tops. I am thinking 120-125 or so for me.

    I am 5'6 i don't weigh as little as you and it's weird because I weigh 216 and can fit into 12/14's while i know people that are around 190 that wear the same size as me.
