Ladies 5'7 size question

Great discussion, I find the sizing of many fascinating, the other that I think plays a role in sizes would be bra size. I am just under 174 and have not bought a lot of clothes since losing weight, I found some that I fit back into so I have been making due with those, for bottoms, those are 12-14's those many of these are very loose. Tops I have been able to alter down to make due, again not buying a lot until I am closer to goal. Before losing any weight at 231 (at least) I was XL-1XL tops, and 16-18 bottoms - ugh it is painful to type that but a good reminder.

The clothes I have bought out of necessity or excitement that I fit in them, have been 8 and 10 bottoms, the 8's are tight but fit, 10 would be the more comfortable size right now, but my goal is a comfy 8. For tops most are mediums and a few large, depending on cut and reason for purchase, ie some clothes look better with some room.

I have also found I cannot stand to wear baggy clothes, they just make me look big and sloppy, of course when 60 pounds heavier that was almost all I wear now I cannot bear that look even just hanging around the house. I have bought a few items too tight which has been very fun to have them going from not fitting to becoming loose.

I want to get to 145-155 or so, I am hoping I will know when I get there which I am figuring will not be until next March or so. I would also like to be a size 8 bottoms, M top. I find it interesting and exciting some in this range are a size 6, I honestly cannot fathom being in that size, but you never know. I have been doing more strength training and hope to moving to heavy lifting at some point in the future.

I have not gotten new bras which has been the slowest to lose which could be a reason I can fit into 8-10's when others might be in 12-14's at the same weight as me.

I'm 5'7", weigh 190 lbs and wear a size 10.

I am 5'7" and weigh 177. I currently wear a large top and a size 10/11 bottom.

I am 5'7" right now my weight is 147 pants size 9 and shirt M
My goal: 135 pounds and a size 6 hopefully!!!!

Me too...but I'm 149

We are all shaped differently, so even if we weigh the same, we may all fit into different sizes. Maybe your waist is just wider than other people's waists of your weight. It is a very interesting post!

That was close to my start, and I was pushing a size 12. I'm down to 138 and comfortably in a size 4

I am 5'7" and weigh 177. I currently wear a large top and a size 10/11 bottom.

^^ Pretty much me too but I weigh 175.8lb!

My weight is 211 now and i wear 12 and 14 in most dress pants and when i was 185-190 i wore 8 and some dress pants a 10


everyones bodies are so diff

i do love that body gallery site someone posted i found it last year.

5ft 7 - SW 191 have gone down to 187.2 (Only on week 2) I wear a UK14 on bottom and A uk 14-16 on top - I have no hips but a hell of a tummy and my girlies are 38DD so I am classic apple, Im looking to hit between 140-150lbs (10st - 10.7st) as I like to be curvy )

5'6 159
6-7 pants
Small/Med for shirt

WOW the differences are insane. I weigh 150lb and wear 12/14 UK size, which is 10/12 US.

No Joke!!! When I am your weight I am a UK size 10-12 )

I was a size 12 and L-XL top. Now I'm 148 and wear size 8 on bottom and Medium top. I am hoping to get down to 135-140.

Ok Ladies -- if you are 5' 7" and 175ish pounds, pls share your size. ---i want to see if my thoughts are abot right..lol

When I first start I weighed in at 175 lbs size 13. Now I'm a 12 but I'm at 162 lbs. Trying to get down to 150-140 lbs by the end of this year

When I was 5'7" AND 175 lbs I was a size 12 in pants and large/XL shirts.
I thought I was fat back then.
Oh how wrong I was, hahah.

I'm 5'7 and I think a lot of this depends on how much muscle mass you have as well as body shape. when I was 140 about a year or so ago I was wearing a 4-6 or a 7 in juniors.

Now I am around 150-153 and am wearing a 6 and haven't tried the fours because I just haven't. The 7's however still fit. I have noticed this go round with losing I am also lifting heavier weights so I have a little bit more muscle mass than I have before.

I can't really say a certain weight and I'm a certain size. It can vary depending on several variables...
