My goal is to be 160lb, and I'm 5' 6", but I really want to know what that looks like. It would be a HUGE motivator to see. I was just wondering if anyone was 160 and 5'6" that was willing to share a picture...
also, i know all bodies are different, but if you are that, does that make you a size 10.
Because I would also like to be a size 10, but I'm wonder if those two are even the same.

    I'm 5'6", 198 - and a size 14/16 depending on the brand. 16 with no muffin top in most brands. My goal is 130 though, per my Cardiologist, so I'm wondering if thats too small?

    Hi...I'm 5'6" and currently 140, I fit into a misses 4 loosely or a 2 ...depending on the cut. When I was 160 I was wearing 8's. It does depend where you carry your weight. I am pretty porportionate. Hope that helps... Sorry, I don't have pics either.:smile:

    I'm 5'6" and started this at 160, size 10. I am going to try to attach a pic, hope it works?

    Ok, I can't figure out how to post a pic. Sorry :(.

    I am just under 5'6 and 165 right now. I am pretty much a solid 12 (sometimes a 14). My goal is 150. I am finally working at losing all the baby weight and weight that I had put on during the stressful year that I have had with my LO. Anyways, the 150 puts me at an 8/10 depending on the brand. 160 would be a 10/12 for me. It really depends on the brand of clothes and the type of body you have. At 150, the narrowest part of my waist is about 27.5-28 in. belly button is about 29-30 inches. Honestly, I can't remember my hips (39 or 40?).

    I am a true hourglass, with no muffin top, unless I somehow mange to wear something too tight all over. My thighs are on the larger side. They were my largest area even at my smallest which was 140...that was 6 for me. That was way way way too much work to get to. I almost had to be a borderline obsessive exerciser and dieter. I build muscle easily and have a "larger" frame. I wear a size 10 sneaker and larger hands for a girl.

    Hope this helps.

    I am 5'5 and 158. If you look at the pictures in my profile the pictures in the long sleeve blue shirt were taken at 160. Currently a size 8.

    Thank you everyone! That helps a lot! I'm going to Jamaica in 25 weeks and have about 65lb to lose. So if I can manage to lose about 2.5lb a week I'll hit my goal weight of 160. I'm really hoping to be in a bikini. Hope 160 looks good in a bikini!

    It'd look better than 224lb in a bikini =P (And no, I don't wear a bikini now haha)

    I am 5'6 and currently 153lbs but I started MFP at 170lbs. You can check my profile to see my progress pictures. I have my weight written on them. When I'm 160lbs, I wear 10/12. So you're definitely in the ballpark.

    I am 5'6" and in my "before" photos I am 165. In the most recent ones I am 153. My goal is 140. You can see them on my profile.

    I'm 5'6", and 163 lbs. I wear about a size 10, yes. I'm planning on loosing another 40lbs though... Here is a picture of me right now! (I've been taking ab pictures every day as I do the 30 day shred, so I can do a time lapse) Note, My boobs are DD+, and my butt is pretty proportionate, so I tend to carry my weight in a VERY hour glass way... YMMV

    I am right about where you are! :) I just started, and my goal weight is about 145. I am really happy I found MFP, it is really easy for me to follow. Before this I always had done WW. But, this is free and easy to use. Like I said, I just started (a week ago), and I have found it obviously requires discipline, but seeing the results really keeps me going! :))

    I'm 5'7" and I was a 10 at about 155-160, yes. I don't carry much excess weight in my lower body though.
