    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

    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.
