How much do you weigh and what size are you in?
I know it all depends on the body shape as well but people found it weird that i am in a size 8 (as of today i can fit them! Still a bit snug but i'll take it)
I'm 158lbs and working out like crazy, i know i've been losing more inches than weight. I wore a size 8 jean all day today, It made me feel great and i know it will keep me on track.
When i first started here i was 178lbs and at the very end of the overweight category, right now i'm in the middle at 27.1.

Anyways, my goal was to fit into my old jeans again, accomplished but i still have some pounds to go as i want to be in the middle of a healthy bmi range.
Input?
«134

    I am 5'3"/ currently weigh 187lbs.
    I wear a Large in tops.
    Size 14/15 in pants right now.

    When I was 160lbs I wore a size 12/13
    When I was 130lbs I wore a size 8.

    I have wider hips than most, I guess?
    But at a size 8 I was very happy and content.

    I am a comfortable size eight. I can fit a seven but they are snug and I hate things that are snug, I need room to breathe lol....I am 143lbs. My body shape is pretty square. I have tiny arms and legs and my weight loves to linger in my stomach - I hate that!

    We are actually around the same weight and height, I was at 158 but went up to 159 this past week. And I too fit into a size 8 they can be a little snug right after washing them but fit great and actually get a little baggy after wearing them a couple days. I also have some size 10's that I still wear on days that I don't want to squeeze into the 8s for fear of getting depressed. What was your original size??? I would like to get down to a 6 if I could!!!

    I'm 5'4" and am currently at 163 lbs. and I just got into a size 10 pants (jeans) and medium tops. I've always carried all my weight in my butt and thighs so pants have always been a problem for me.

    I'm 5' 4" and weigh 138 lbs and am a large, size 10 etc. I find clothing sizes very frustrating.

    i'm 5'2" and weigh about 210 (93.9kgs). i wear a UK size 18 (which i think is a US 14 maybe?). i have big boobs and thighs, so my thighs often make me buy a size bigger in pantage!.

    I'm 5'4" as well. Started at 261 lbs and was a size 22/24. Currently 197 lbs and in a size 12 womens or 15 juniors. My goal is a size 8. Not sure what I'll weigh when I get there, but no one ever believes I'm close to 200 pounds.

    Great to hear! :-)
    I used to be a 6 back in high school ,before i met my husband and all that, i gained weight when we were dating due to eat to much fast food, but i was about 20lbs lighter too. Maybe it is b/c i have more muscles now

    I'm 5'4 and weigh about 147. I have a pear shape pretty much...little waist but bigger hips. I wear a 7/8 in pants and a medium in shirts. When I was 135 (goal I'm going for), I wore a 5/6, so just a little more to go :)

    Ah, we're all the same height but such different body types.

    I'm 5' 4" and weigh 218 lbs. I wear a very loose size 16, *almost* a 14 in bottoms and wear a size large in tops.
    My goal weight is 140 and at the rate things are going I imagine I will be in a size 4 or perhaps even smaller upon arrival.

    Same problem here, People think i weigh less than i actually do. Most women in my family are like that though, "heavy boned" i guess

    I'm 5'5" and I'm 160 pounds. I am a Small or Medium in shirts (Medium prob looks better but I like to say I'm a small ;) ) I am an 11-13 in pants. I carry most of my weight in my thighs and tush so pants are always hard to find because my waist is fairly small.

    There is no way I would fit into a size 8 at that weight. I usually hover between about your weight and 190 (a big hover, I know), but I do not remember the last time I wore anything less than a size 12.

    But then, if one person is wearing a 12 women's/ 15 juniors, y'all are shopping at different stores than I am. 15 juniors fit me when 14 women's are tight to right. I have more of a junior shape than a woman's shape, at least according to the fashion industry.

    I am also 5'4". I started MFP in November at 177 lbs and I am currently 149.9 lbs.

    I can now fit in a size 8 dress. My aim is to get to 135 lbs and wear my size 6 jeans again ;o)

    I'm 5'4" and currently weigh 139.8 lbs (woohoo, just got below 140 today haha), my goal weight being around 125. I'm a US size 6 I think (according to the conversion charts, as I'm not from the US and have other sizes where I am).
