    Biggest- 20/22
    Smallest-14
    Current-14/16
    Goal-10/12

    I'm 6ft tall so I think anything smaller than a 10/12 is really pushing it for me..........

    Oh that was so long ago.
    I think the smallest was a size 10;
    The biggest was size 18W
    Right now I'm 12 to 14 depending on style of jeans;
    My goal is to be a size 10.

    I agree what is your target weight? if you want you can send that to my email so it is not posted for all to see but I am also tall 5'9 and i think a size 10 would be good but what weight is that? I want to get to 165 or 170 but my dr says 155

    I don't know if this helps you but I weigh 165 right now and wear a size 12. I am only 5'6" so... I would say about 165 for you would be a size 10. But that depends on how your body is dispursed and your muscle mass.:flowerforyou:

    Women's sizes have always confounded me. I don't know what size I was at my smallest after I finished growing/puberty - maybe a 9/10.
    Currently 12
    largest 18
    goal 10/12

    Smallest (high school) - 5
    Biggest (post-babies - three of 'em) - 16-18
    Current - 4-6

    I'm not hung up on the pant size or weight (I'm 135 - down from 192 post-baby) - but I'd REALLY like to get rid of the post-baby flab (stomach jiggle-thing), sigh. It can be annoying when getting close to goal because people keep telling me I don't need to lose any more weight, and I should stop dieting - even when I tell them this isn't a diet, but a life style change and I'm trying to tone up/eat healthy until I'm blue in the face. (end vent, lol)

    Hmmm! I wonder where your doctor got that number from?

    I am 5'7" and I am currently shooting for 150-155. My weight right now is 162-165 and I am comfortable in a size 12 (yay!). I had my body fat % tested at the YMCA a few months ago, and based on their recommended goal of 23% body fat for women, they said my target weight should be 155. I think I might be able to go below 23%, hence why I am shooting for 150. I have a large frame, and doubt that I could get lower than a size 10, but we'll see.

    Smallest=0 (due to drinking and dancing...not healthy!)

    Biggest= 16 (could have been bigger but I refused to buy new clothes!)

    Goal= size 8 (for now)

    I was the healthiest at 118 which was a size 6. I just could not bring myself to say I needed to lose 50 pounds when I started on this journey, so I put my goal at 135 which is around an 8.

    I am also 5'9. Yes, the target weight can be between 130 - 160 - however, your frame determines better what weight you should be. I find that targeting a specific % body weight is a healthier goal. When I got out of boot camp (I used to be in the Navy) I weighed 165, was 22% body fat and had a four pack of abs. ... of course - I was still outside the healthy range for weight in my height, but I was completely healthy....

    you just have to use all of these recommendations collectively to determine what is healthiest for your body.

    smallest.....10 after divorce & taking up dancing 4x/week
    biggest..... 24 after 4 kids
    now..... 18 yay, just got there today
    goal..... 10 has to be - going to be

    My girlfriend is a Doc & says at 5'7 and 145 I was at my best physical shape & should never go under that again. Keep in mind, however, I tend to carry more muscle mass than other ladies and I have a larger frame anyway.

    My biggest size was a 20/22 the first time I was 230lbs. This last year I gained and went back up to 230 but was a size 18 - gotta love muscle! :wink: My smallest size was a 14 and I think I was around 190lbs. I'm currently a 16 at 204lbs.

    My goal is anywhere from 6 to 10 - I really have no idea where I'll be comfortable, since I've never been that small!

    No one EVER said women's sizing makes sense!! :laugh: :grumble: :laugh: :grumble: :laugh:

    Seriously! At one point, I had some stretch 16s, regular 14s, and regular 12s - all of which I could wear! :grumble: For a while, I only wore men's pants/jeans because I got so irritated with it. At least a 34 waist is generally consistent!
