    I'm 5'8" and currently 149. My highest weight was 159, and goal is 130. I currently wear 8/10 jeans, which may sound large for my weight, but I have an unusual body type.

    Most of my weight gain is in the stomach/waist area, while my hips/butt/thighs are relatively thin. I don't know anyone else who has this problem as bad as I do! Even now, the rest of me is probably a 6, and could get down to the 2/4 range if I reach my goal weight, but this stupid thick waist prevents me from enjoying the smaller sizes!

    I'm 5'9, 169lbs and most of my pants are a 10/12, depending on the make/style. When I was 155 (my goal weight...again), I was fitting comfortably in a size 9. I think it all depends on whether you have a small, medium or large body frame. I know I will never fit into anything less then a size 7/8 because my bone structure. Yeah, I am big boned.....honestly!!!:wink:

    I think it really depends on your body structure. I have gotten frustrated before wondering this question. I see people my height and weight who wear much smaller jean sizes. I just don't understand. Anyway, I am 5'8.5" and I weight 158.8. I wear a junior's 11 or a misses 12 although I could probably wear a 10 if I really wanted to, but they would be tight in a few places. I wore a 14 at my highest (209). I think my biggest issue is my hips :grumble:

    I am 5'8" and right now I weight 190 and in a size 14. Before I got pregnant I weighted 175 and was in a size a 11. I agree everybody's body type is different. My goal weight is 160!

    I'm 5'9'' and I weigh 171, currently a lose fitting size 10/12. I'm dying to be in the single digits. so far I've lost 28 pounds... got to keep going and get to that mystical size 8.... :) but I've got a booty and thunder thighs.... so maybe it'll never happen. But I've got to find out, so I'll saty on the path of weight loss.... :)

    I weigh 157 right now, am 5'8" and am in size 10 dress pants but like 12 in jeans. I have a lot of belly fat though because I have had 2 kids and had c-sec with the last one. Depends on how much mucle you have too!

    I am 5' 7.5" and weigh 175. I wear size 10 in some things and size 12 in others (depends who makes them). My goal weight is 147. I need help drinking water and exercising! All I want to do is eat, eat, eat. I am 46 years old and have been on birth control for years. It would be great if I could magically lose weight once I stop taking the pill! But until my hubby gets fixed, I'm not taking any chances. No more babies for me at this age.

    Im 5'8.5" and weigh 243 and am in an 18... but must be close to a 16 because all my 18s seem to be falling off me... I'm scared to go try on jeans though because I dont want to just buy more 18s!! it's been forever since I was in a 16 and I want that to be the next size I buy

    I'm 5'4" 195 size 14/16 - when I was 140 I was a size 6/8...It really depends on your body shape, bone structure, jeans, etc. I had a friend who was 5'4" 160 and wore a size 12/14 while I was 180 and the same size jeans. I couldn't figure this out so I asked my doctor about it and he said I may have more bone density which will make my weight heavy. This is why I try to stay away from scales and stick to measurements...they are the most honest!!
