    I am 5'7 1/2" and weight 140 lbs. I wear a size 4 dress, size 6 or 8 pants (depending on the brand) and a small top. I used to weight about the same 4 years ago but everything was a size 8 then. I have toned up a lot and found that it totally depends on what I am eating and how much I am lifting.

    Additionally, I think it also depends on your build. When I was a size 4 pant I didn't look that good cause I have a larger build.

    I'm 6 feet and 200 lbs. I just had to go to a size 16 (which is why I am now a MTP member). Even when I was playing college volleyball and in great shape I was still in a 11/12. I have a pear shape, which I guess means I will always have a larger pant size lol. It's interesting to see all the different shapes and sizes women of similar weight can be.

    5'7" and wear close to a size 14 right now- even though last year at the same weight (around 185) I wore a size 10/12! My super-pear shape has caught up with me- I measure 35" around the underbust and 47" around the hips! EEK!

    I love this thread ! I'm 5'8 , 189lbs and wear a size 12. I'm hoping that at 170-175 , I'll be a size 10! But I'm loving being a 12 instead of my old size 24!!!!!!!

    5'10, currently at 212 lbs. Wearing a loose 14, fitted 12.

    My goal is to drop down to 170 lbs. I can't even say what size I'll be then, smaller than what I am now for certain. :)

    5'7.5" weighing 170-172 depending on the day. I was 275 last year wearing a size 18 and a size 3 top. now im in a size 9/10 with a bit of room and a medium/large top size G cup so i tend to have to go larger on the shirts. used to be 100lbs and in a size zero and thats what i want to get back to.

    Well, I"m not that tall but I have noticed the sizing thing. Depending upon how many years ago you are comparing. Clothing measurements have changed in the past 15-20 years so that for a given waist/hip size today is at least a size smaller than back then. I wore a size 6 at 115 pounds 20 years ago and size 2 or 4 at 121 pounds today. I can assure you I was leaner back then.

    5'7" and 216 last time I stood on a scale. My size 18s are falling off me, so I'm around 16, edging towards 14. Woot! No plans to go below a 10, tho.
