    thanks to vanity sizing I didn't really realize how much weight I was putting on.
    In 1979 @ 125 lbs I was a 13/14. My weight kept creeping at the same rate as vanity sizing increased
    So my high weight was 175 and I was still a SIZE 14

    Now, I'm 143 and on the cusp between SIZE 8 and SIZE 6.... (but I still have 30 year-old SIZE 13/14 pants in the closet that I can't yet fit into)

    Wow that is CRAZY about the sizing in the 70's/80's. Really puts it into perspective

    Height - 5'7" Weight- 115lb UK size 8-10
    I should be really happy with that, but I'm not. Well, to be specific, I think I would prefer to be more toned, and for that I'd probably have to gain weight in muscle mass...?

    I'm 5'8, about 160 lbs. I wear a medium tee-shirt, large in other shirts (i like them a little bigger), size 12 jeans/size 31 jeans.

    Reading this makes me so jealous...and seeing this makes me more jealous: http://www.mybodygallery.com/photos-13650-body-shape.htm#img She is my height and weighs 6 more pounds than me and rocks this bikini. jealous.

    Yeah...

    I am aiming for 168 pounds, although I will still be considered overweight at that weight... but I won't care ifi look like that


    I think whole post shows how body dysmorphic we all are... some of s would rather be a lot lighter than others even though we are the same height.

    Basically body shape & compostion is avery much a personal choice... I would rather retain some fat so that i still had a biggish butt and my C cup breasts...

    What size are you at what weight? I'm 5'9" and at 245 I was a size 22. At 190 I was a 14 and at 177 I'm almost into a size 10. How about everyone else? Just curious!

    Are we talking UK or US sizing?

    I'm 5'8. At 238, I'm wearing a UK 20-22 dress (US24-26), and 16-18 trousers / skirts (US 12-14). (Yes, my body is a very weird shape, and the ladies could have an eye out when running....). At my top weight (an awful lot more than I am now!) I was a UK 32.

    I'm 5'7.5 and the biggest I have been is 155 (size 8) but now I am at 145 (sze 6). I"m slim but I have a belly. Don't roll your eyes people, it's big enough to where I get that, "Are you pregnant?" question/stare. I wish my belly fat would find its way to my butt. LOL. My target is to ONLY lose weight around my belly. But I realize that you have to lose weight all over. :(.

    My measurements are: Natural waist 32, Around belly button 36.5, Butt 38.5.

    Talking about sizes isn't all that great because of obvious vanity sizing and different brands go by different scales, especially in the US. So take all this with a huge grain of salt.
