    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.

    Hi! I'm 5'6"ish probably closer to 5'7" but I'm going with 5'6" lol. I started at 260 lbs and wearing an 18. Now I'm about 207 and can fit back into my 11/12's I still have a ways to go but I can't wait to see where I end up (pant size) the 11/12's are the smallest I've ever been in.

    I'm 5'5 and I weigh 148 and I usually wear a 4, I work at a clothing store and tried on a 26 jean (which is equivalent to a 2) yesterday and they FIT! I know I weigh quite a bit but I work out 4 times a week so a decent amount of it is muscle.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm 5'9 and 139 pounds. I wear an American size 4 pant and size small top.

    Two years ago I was 175 pounds and wore a size 12 pant. I had an epiphany moment where I knew that I was going to either creep up a few pounds each year and eventually become like my obese mother or make a drastic lifestyle change. I saw my cousin realize this for herself but unfortunately she needed surgery to remove excess skin. I didn't want that to happen to me. It took a long time to get my nutritional lifestyle in order because of denial. I had so much denial. Getting to the gym wasn't nearly as hard for me. I didn't know anything about macronutrients or basal metabolic rates. I aim to get my protein/fat/carb levels equal each day and I do eat meat. Whew! Even though I don't know any of you, it feels good to put that in writing and say it somewhere. Take care.

    I love seeing all the different sizes, even at the same weight.

    Currently I'm maintaining at 152, size 7 jeans at 5'7". Medium tops.

    I could probably wear a size 6 /small if i lost another 5/7 lbs, but I like the size and shape I am now. I've got a pear shape, but losing the last 15 lbs has evened me out, because it all came from the bottom. :)

    Depending on the brand and even style of the pants they're all different, and certainly not a good way to judge inches lost unless you're old pair are getting baggy. You may wear an 8 in Lee and fit into a 10 on another brand.

    Hello. I'm 5'7" and weigh 176 right now. Currently, I can wear anywhere from a 10-14 jeans but am comfy in size 14. By comfy, I mean, I can breathe. :) My goal is to be at 155 again but haven't been there since before my kids were born 8 years ago. I'm working on it.

    I'm just under 5'8 - when I started losing weight (at 180 lbs), I was getting a little too big for my size 12 pants. I'm 155 now, and those pants are like clown pants on me now. I just bought the same pants in size 10. I fit into 8s but they were a little too snug for my comfort. I would rather buy a pair of each size and feel good in them, spending a little bit more by buying them at each size - than trying to wear my huge pants until I can be comfy in 2 sizes down.

    I hope to lose another 20 lbs and be in a size 6 at that point, but my hips might have other plans for me and keep me in the size 8 forever.

    Hi - I'm 29 years 5'8" 145lbs. Hourglass shaped with a long torso... I'm wearing size 8 jeans in misses. I haven't been a size 6 since I was like 12 years old, so I don't expect to go down any more in sizing. I do however wish that jeans these days rode just a bit higher to cover the crack and love handles. Maybe I'm not the only one that is sick of hiking up my 2" zippered jeans every 10 min? PS. I choose not to shop in the jr section anymore because those jeans are built for young girls - girls that don't have fully developed hips. On the other hand. I can't bear to go to the old lady section to buy jeans with elastic in the back. Anyone have a favorite brand?

    5'8.5" and 160. About 20% body fat, size 8 is comfy and 6 usually fits but a bit tight. Waist 28, butt 42, thigh at widest part almost 24. I am a cross country runner and train on average 16-20 hours a week, including weight lifting. Gained twenty pounds since august from antidepressants despite almost 100% clean eating and less calories than any athlete I've ever met...o used to be a size 4! But I guess its proof that you can be fit and not light, I'm stronger than ever, and when I ask people they guess I weigh 130. I'd like to get back to 135 for racing and my sanity.

    I'm 21 with my height at 5'9. I started out way over weight at 210 and I am now currently 175. When I was 210 I wore a size 14 but now at my current weight I wear a size 10 (30 inches). My goal weight is 155 and I want to be a size 6 I'm pants. I know its possible because I weighed that before. If any one here believes in the body type profiles I am an endomorph. Basically what that means is that I have a horrible metabolism and must work hard using diet AND exercise to see results. Yes it sucks. But nevertheless I will accomplish my goal! Also, I started out working out 3 days a week and I am now at 4-5. I am a firm believer in weight training and cardio.

    I LOVE miss me jeans! They are a little on the pricey side but well worth it!
