    Depends on your build. Also if you work to reduce your overall BF% (instead of weight) it could be a higher weight than what you are now (just a possibility).

    For example, when I was 125-135 (don't remember exactly, but in that range) depending on the brand I would either wear a 7 or 9 and I'm 5'4.5". (I have a picture on my profile from then)

    Also if you look on: Mybodygallery.com

    Filters: 5'5" Age: under 25 Weight: Any Pant Size: 6

    1st picture it pulled up : 133lbs
    2nd picture: 138lbs
    3rd picture: 138lbs
    4th: 135lbs
    5th: 135lbs
    Well I think you get the point. Looking through the pictures I see a lot of 130-138lbs with a size 6 in pants.

    edit: found a picture of a lady who is apparently 158lbs and wearing a size 6.

    *shrug*

    Either way though, I think it has more to do with BF% than weight. A person who weighs for example 125lbs and has more muscle and less fat will wear a smaller size than the person who weighs 125lbs but has more fat/less muscle on their body.

    Just depends on the person/build. I'm 5ft, 6 in and a medium frame. I weigh 125lbs and wear size 4 jeans/size 2 shorts and size 0 skirts.

    I'm 5"7, currently 122 pounds and a uk size 8. To be uk size 6 and given my height, I need to be 110 pounds. This makes sense to me as it takes me 5-7kg to drop a dress size. That's my ultimate aim anyway, to be a uk size 6 with a 24" waist!

    For your height, I reckon you need to be 100-110 pounds to be a UK 6. True measurements of a 24" waist and 34-35" hips, not vanity sizing. What is your UK size now?

    I'm 5' 4.5" and 115lb today. I am very thin framed with hips. I bought a pair of size 26 jeans today, the equivalent of a true size 6. There is only one store I have shopped in that sizes their clothes in a way that I have to buy a 4 from them, otherwise I buy a 6 everywhere else.

    does anyone know what weight i should be aiming for to be a size 6?

    As mentioned before, it really depends on your body composition.

    I'm 5'5" tall and weigh 135.

    I also wear size 4. I hit size 6 when I weighed 140.

    I have quite a bit of lean mass and lift weights regularly and even did a bulk cycle a few years back (and worked to maintain what I gained for a few years).

    I am 5' 5" and although I have had a once week 'holiday' from counting calories and put on a little, I average 132lbs. Size 10 trousers and skirts / 12 for tops and dresses - UK sizes.

    I'm not quite 5'5" and 135-140 pounds and I'm in a US 2/4 with a 37" hip (which is a dressmaker's 6, haha). My mom and I wear the same size but she weighs 20-30 pounds less than I do. It totally depends on your LBM, BF% and where you carry your weight.

    Why are you so concerned about what size clothing you fit into? You look great!

    I'm about 223ish. My ultimate goal is to be 175 again, because I was healthy when I was 175.

    I think you look great. :)

    Same height and weight, but I'm a US size 8. I'm aiming for around the same, however, weight doesn't matter to me, inches do, I'm looking to get my BF% to around 18-20%, sitting at 25% I believe.

    I'm 5'4.5 current weight 169lbs and I wear uk size 10 or 12. I have quite a lot of muscle. When I was 16 I was a competitive swimmer and used to train around 30 hours a week. Back then I weighed 185lb and wore a uk size 8. Body composition will determine your size more than your weight will.

    168lbs currently, working my way towards 150lbs then will reevaluate my goals from there. I lift a lot so I tend to wear bigger pants sizes (US size 10) just because my booty wont fit into anything smaller :laugh:

    I am 5'5 and currently about 135 lbs. I wear between 2/4 usually. Size is really dependent on your own body and the clothing manufacturers.

    I'm 5'5".

    I wore a size 4 or 6 at 135 pounds, but it was at ~18% body fat.
    (and this was a 1990's size 4 to 6)

    As others have said, it's going to depend on your body composition, but just to add one more for comparison:

    5' 4.75"; US size 1/2; 116 lbs; small frame

    This time last year:

    5'4.75"; US size 0; 109 lbs; small frame

    That added weight from last year to now was put on in conjunction with a whole lot of weight lifting to give you an idea of body composition.

    @Puffingmuffin Just to say, it's not necessarily weight, I weigh nearly the same as you (120lbs) and I'm 5'7 and fit a UK 6 (sometimes 8 depending on brand but I'm definitely a 6 in places like Next and New Look). I lost a size by decreasing my body fat percentage, which actually gained me 5lbs because muscle is more dense than fat but I lost a clothes size and 2 inches off my waist (it's always been small but it's now 23").

    5'5
    Weight (Size)
    HW: 177 (13)
    LW: 130 (8)
    CW: 150 (10)
    GW: 138
    (dream goal weight: 125)


    I have a curvy frame. Big hips and tatas. I would LOVE to be super skinny again, but thanks to puberty I don't think 110lb will ever look good on me again. I personally think you are at a fantastic weight and you look great!

    May I ask why you want to be a UK6/US2? I am currently a US12 so I really have no room to talk here (as my goal is to get down to a US6). I am concerned that some of the comments on this blog could trigger the beginnings of an eating disorder.........
