    5'8" currently 169 lb and size 10.

    I have waffled between 166-178 lb for several years after a major loss (130+ lb) and never know if I'll be in 10 or 12 so I have tons of both. 10s fit better. I have wide hips so everything has to be stretchy or curvy fit.

    I'd probably take a 12 or maybe even a 14 in old school non stretch jeans but 12 business/dress pants swim on me even at 180 lb. Due to vanity sizing, the only dress pants I have are size 8. There's no way I could get a pair of size 8 jeans over my hips and thighs.

    Size 16 at 235lbs, getting loose though (I've been in 16s since 255).

    When I was my lowest adult weight (195lbs), I was a size 12, nearly 10.

    I'm 5'8" and weigh 199 currently. Totally depends on brand but I'm a size 12-14. When I get down to 170 I am typically a size 8-10.

    5'8" currently 149. Depending on vanity sizing from a 6 to a 10 jeans, women's medium tights, or size 11 juniors. I have muscular thighs and some loose skin on my lower belly from large weight loss, and have always been fairly straight waisted.

    At 272 I wore a size 28 or 4x.

    I was at 272 when I started using My Fitness Pal, and I wore size 20 or 22 depending on the brand and 2X tops. Just shows how different our bodies can be! Even at the same height. At 307 lb, I wore 24 and 26 jeans/pants, and 3X tops.

    I'm 20 lb heavier than you are now and have a lot of size 11 juniors stuff (especially jeggings) but there's no way in the world I could wear an 8 right now and never a 6.

    I’m either 5’9” or 5’10” and since I have a ton of muscle I’m usually between 15-20% BF which puts me at size 2 anything below 143 ish. From 125lb to 140lb I stay in size 0 or 2. Right now im a size 4 and I weigh 150. My waist is only 26 inches and this is the most I’ve ever weighed.

    I am also 5 '8 and currently weigh 156. My goal weight is also 140! I wear a size 12 pants (they are a little roomy) and medium/lg top currently. I want to be a size 8! Working hard to get there.

    What an interesting thread! I'm close to 5'9", and at my heaviest was 245 wearing size 20 jeans (Old Navy!:)) I've been back in low carb for 18 days now, and have gone from 220 to 213. Still wearing those size 20s, but I need to keep hiking them up a lot =) I'm not even going to look at buying new pants till I hit 190 lbs.

    5'9" here, 138 lbs. and wear size 8, might be able to fit into my 6's just sitting and waiting in my closet, but haven't dared try them on again. :)

    I'm 5' 8" and 200 - I wear a 14/16 depending on cut and brand. I have one pair of 12's that fit as well. When I was at my lowest 20 years ago, 138, I wore a 10, sometimes 8, and 6 in skirt. Looking through these, everyone carries weight so differently. Mine is all in my lower belly and inner thighs.

    I'm 5'8, at my heaviest of 267 was a size 18. At 210 I was a size 18. At 195 I was 14-16. I've regained and back in 18s.

    This is part of the reason I struggled and still am. I rarely see size changes. In tops I'm always XL - 2X, even at 195. I feel us taller gals weight is spread out, thus as we lose it's not as obvious, which can be frustrating to say the least.
