    I love reading these types of posts. So interesting how so many can be the same height and weight, and totally different sizes!!!

    I'm 5'7" I weigh 158 pounds, and am in a size 8 or 10, and size Medium tops.

    Goal: 145 - 150 pounds, size 6 or 8. So close, but yet so far. :blushing:

    5'8 at 160 pounds and still wearing size 12 jeans and xl shirts:( since I had my kids I used to wear size 3s...but now that I am in my late 40s I just hope to get in size 7s:) I must say I am rather jealous of you girls who weigh the same and wear so much smaller pants:( WTH? :)

    i am 5;6.5 tall and i am currently at 282 i have an hour glass shape but i have HUGE butt even when i was down in the 150's as a teen i had a huge butt. i am currently in a size 18-22 depending on brand. I do remember being a size 9 in my teens at 160-165 pounds. my current shirts are from xl-2xl. MY goal is between 150-160 pounds, i would like to be size 7-9 and tops size i suppose s-l would be fine. one i do hit my goal weight i may decide to drop another 10-15 pounds depending on my size's then.

    I'm 5'8 been a size 9 from 145ish to 160ish lowest I've been was size 7 at around 130-140 but I'm fine with my jean size because I really don't hold too much weight in my lower body, I have medium sized thighs(not skinny but not fat) all my weight is on my belly but luckily for me I have an hourglassish shape with a nice waist so I definitely don't look as much as I weigh and my top is anywhere from small to large depending on the brand and style

    Hi! I am 5'8-'9 and weigh 206, I am either a 10 or 12 depending on the day/brand. Ultimate goal to get down to 150, and at that weight I was in a size 6-8.

    Im not as tall as you guys, just wanted to share some info. When i weighed 150 i wore a size 10. My friend was 150 and wore a size 14. We are about the same height. And yes sizes have changed. I read that somewhere.

    ^EXACTLY!!!

    My best friend and I are both 5'9" and when we were both 155lbs I wore an 8 and she wore a 12 in the same store! She is pear shaped with no chest and I'm much more "curvy" on top :laugh: lol It all depends on your bone/body structure, where you carry your weight and how much of you is muscle or fat!

    I am currently 153 & wear anywhere from a pretty loose 8 to an 11

    I'm 5'7'' about 170 and wear a 12 (they are starting to get loose). I have a very straight frame (no hips or butt) and carry my weight my tummy.

    I am 5'9" and weigh 140. Pant size a 10 because I have a large butt but a very tiny waist. I would be in an 8 except for the extra "baggage". I have a very hard time finding pants because of the proportion between my waist and buttocks and the fact that my legs are very long. I usually buy from Ann Taylor, New York & Co, and Banana Republic because they carry tall sizes.

    this is SOOO interesting! I cant believe how different people's sizing/bodies really are. Guess thats why we try to measure & not go off the scale so much.
    Im 5'7.5, 160lb and wear a steady 8/30 in jeans (as long as they arent the "tight" type - my thighs are much bigger then the rest of me).
    Top size M

    at my smallest, 135, i was a solid 6

    I'm 5'8" ( a touch more, actually) and weigh 144 lbs. I wear a size 6 pant &/or a size 28" jean. I'm a pear shape. I don't find sizes vary as much as some of the others do; when I'm shopping I grab both a size 8 and a 6 & 95% of the time one or the other will fit. On top I'm usually a size small, sometimes a med - but I even have a few xs in my closet.

    I am 5' 9". I still have a pair of shorts from about 1992 (from the Limited - they're fabulously retro now, lol). This pair of shorts is a size 12. At the time, I felt like a hippo because I wore a size 12 (weighed 145 pounds). Comparing those shorts to the size 10's I wear currently from The Loft is hilarious. Those size 12's are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than today's size 10's.

    Clothing sizes have definitely gotten bigger in the last 20 years.

    Pant sizes vary sooo much! I'm 5'10 and 211lbs and wear a size 12, at 250 I wore 16 or 14 size Jean. I think it depends on your body type, I carry most my weight in chest and tummy area.

    I'm 5' 7'' and weigh around 150-155.
    I have both sizes 8 and 6 from the GAP and usually wear a medium top, but I have small and large in my closet too! It depends on the brand and how I want the shirt to fit.

    I'm 5'7" and weigh 138. Now I'm in a very loose size 8 and small/medium top. I can probably go to a size 6 maybe 4 but don't want to buy all new clothes yet till I lose another 8lbs.

    5'8", 185, in between pants sizes: 12 is a bit tight, 14 is a bit too loose. L or XL shirts. I'm curvy up top and on the bottom. Hourglass :)

    i'm 5'7" was 220 in Feb. 2011, size 18/20.


    Started MFP at 196 on 2/3/12

    Current weight: 192 (as of 2/25/12)
    Current dress/jean size: 14

    Goal weight: 150-159 (just enough to not be overweight for my height)


    I meet with a trainer 3 days/wk and do at least 45 mins of cardio 2 days/wk.

    Looking for friends to keep up with, so add me if we're at a similar weight!

    I love this topic! I am 53, 5'6" and weigh 136, trying to lose another 9 pounds. My pants are size 6, but I think I need a 4 because they don't seem to fit very well. When I was younger, obviously the same height, weighing in at 110, my pants were size 5. HA! I think it is a feel good tactic by clothing manufacturers.

    This is making me really jealous! I am 5' 8" almost, and I was very happy at 165 to be in a size 12.
    At 227 lbs I was busting out of my size 18 jeans.
    At 207 lbs I am pretty comfortable in my size 16s.

    I suppose if it takes me long enough to get back down to 165, and the dress sizes keep getting larger, maybe instead of a 12 I'll be wearing a 6? LOL.

    I am 5'7" tall and I started MFP at 217 pounds and a size8 were a perfect fit for me. Now I am down to 198 and 18's real loose but 16 still tight. Sizes are so different from store to store and brand to brand. I can't wait to be a 12 again.

    Hello!

    I'm 5'6" currently weighing at 198 lbs , wear L/XL shirts, stuck between a 38D and 40D Bra (38 too small and 40 too big) and a jean size 15, size 13 in shorts (Why? I haven't figured that out yet.)

    Planning on weighing in at 150 lbs, which was what I weighed in High School class 2006. That was a dress size 6 I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong.
