    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.

    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.
