    I am reading all these posts and am in disbelief.

    I am 5'10...as I said. I am 145 lbs and a size 9 pants! Everyone here is like "I am size 6...size 8" etc. and they are heavier than me and save height or shorter. I totally don't get it. Tres sad.

    I'm 5'8.5". I am currently 187 and a size 12 in my Gap jeans. I was 135 during my freshman year of college and it was a great weight for me, so my goal is there or slightly lower. I have a small frame, though, so I can pull off a lower weight than others my height might be able to. I was a 4/6 at that weight, and I'd like to be a solid 4. :)

    I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 138lbs, my waist is 27" so I wear either a 2 or 4 in jeans. I used to weigh about 15 pounds less than I do now, but that was before I started lifting weights. I'm at 10.8% body fat right now and am training to compete in my first fitness competition. So even though we are tall, we have advantages of being able to weight more and hide our weight. With the clean eating (lean proteins, veggies, good fats, etc) and a consistent exercise routine with weight training not only will you lose fat, but will gain a leaner physique. It's exciting at first because you lose weight, but then it starts coming on again only this time it's muscle. So girl you got this, you can get to your desired weight with discipline and commitment! :)

    I am 5'10. My current weight is 197 and my goal weight is 160. I currently wear a size 10-12 in jeans. I want to get back to a true size 8. The 8 that doesn't require 2% spandex. lol

    I'm 5'8.5", and currently I weigh 183. Highest weight, 187, just around Christmas time. My lowest weight ever was 118, but I know it's completely unrealistic (and UNHEALTHY!) to get back down to that weight. My goal weight is to be in the 130 - 142 range, with my red flag weight being 155.

    I'm don't bother with clothing sizes because they are wacked out and vary SO much from store to store. I sew my own clothes a lot of the time, and did you know that back in the 60's (I use a lot of vintage patterns), a size "10" was someone with a 31 1/2" bust and a 24" waist?!?! Pffffft. In today's day and age, that person is a size "6". Sizes in today's society have been modified anyways to accomodate our vanity, so I don't base anything on them. As long as it fits, you feel great in it and you're at a healthy weight, who cares what a clothing tag says! :)

    hey we are basically the same height and weight but im 182lbs wanna get to 150lbs GOAL =) wooh 118 I know u were really skinney...Yeah so true who cares what a tag says its how u feel inside about ur self!! =)

    Don;t worry!! pants size has a lot ot do with body shape

    When I was 135 I was maaaaybe a six. maybe. At 145 I was an 8- 10. I had a small waist and flat tummy but big hips, and you need a bigger pant size to go on bigger hips :)

    Hi there. I'm 175cm (5"9) and currently 81kgs (179 pounds). when you're tall, you can put on weight (say 5 to 10 kgs) without anyone really noticing it ('cause it's spread out over the whole of the body). but i always know - my closes don't hang right.....and at the moment, they're just plain tight.

    My goal weight 63kgs (about 140 pounds) - that will have me in size 10 jeans (US size 8).

    I'm 5'9 and a size 14 (have been the same since I was 12). I weigh about 216pounds (last time I weighed myself was at Christmas, and I am living at school now and don't have a scale here, I will in 3 weeks!). My body type is very much an hour glass, with most of my weight carried in my boobs and hips/tummy.

    @ valerieplame,
    Go down to the gym on campus - there's always a scale floating around there somewhere. Just ask around.

    I am female with a small frame. I normally weigh 125 - 130 lbs.
    I gained ~60 lbs from prednisone. I've lost 30 lbs from horrible high
    of 195 lbs. (body fat % was greater 45%).

    I am currently I am at 165 lbs. My body fat percentage is ~35%.
    Still not healthy.

    I don't worry about the size of my clothes, just body fat %.

    I am 5'9 an weighed 218lbs after the birth of my daughter. I now weigh 196 and wear a size 14uk but want to get down to at least 168. My ideal is 154 which would mean a size 10uk.

    Being taller is a blessing but can get a little annoying as you know you are never going to be as light as someone who is 5'2! It took me a long time to realise that and embrace my curves!

    Hi! I'm 5'8" and 147 lbs. I started off at 156 lbs. and I'm hoping to get down to 130 lbs. My current jean size is 7/9 in Juniors, 8 in Womens. I have pretty wide hips so I'm not sure if I can go much smaller than that because it's all bone!

    I'm 5'10" and currently 211 (from a high of 238, 222 at start of MFP). My current goal weight is 165, but am working towards a smaller goal of getting below 200. I'm currently wearing a size 16/18, depending on the brand. I'd be really happy to get back into size 10, but that's a rather long way away at the moment.
