5'4" and size 16?

How much do you weigh if you are this size? I'm curious to see if we're similar ... I've lost 17 lbs since the end of January and was in an 18. Now in a size 16. I'm hoping to get to a 12 / 14 this summer.
No matter how active I've been I've always weighed more than friends. Even when I was a size 8 I was about 150lbs. I've always been very muscular and know it weighs more than fat. It still stings sometimes though ...

Well, I'm in an 18 now - 5"2 and 205 lb. Working on that size 16 but it feels like it's a ways off.0

What was your starting weight? I also am 5'4 1/2 and I started at 223 (feb 12') and have lost 17 lbs. and went from a size 18 to a 13/14...... I have another 45+ to loose before summer.... feel free to add me, I'm always on MFP. I log EVERYTHING! It might just be the way your body spreads out it's weight. I hold most of mine in my butt and thigh area and my arms, it's the curse of the hour glass figure!0

I am 206, 5'4 and a size 16. Hoping to be 180 in 6 months or less0

I am 5 ft 3in and currently at 168 I wear a 12. I was at 183 and my 14's were tight.0

That's a hard question to answer. With vanity sizing and sizes varying from brand to brand it's too difficult. I have jeans that are Levi that are at least 5 years old size 16 that I can't get into and another size 16 that I got last year that fit well. I also have a pair of old 16 from another brand that fall off me but the size 14 that I just bought that I can't get into.0

I weigh 206, 5'4" and I'm in 16 which are starting to get a little loose. I've always weighed way more than anyone thinks I really am - naturally muscular.0

I'm also 5'4" and weigh 187 and I can wear most of my size 16 things again!0

I am the same way! I wear a 14 right now and I am 182. I just tried on a size 12 shorts and even though they were a bit tight I bought them in hopes I can wear them soon Feel free to add me!0

This is very strange. I am 5' 3" and weight 166. A size 12 is tight on me. I was in a size 12 and gained some over the course of vacation in October, birthdays and then the holidays. I am working on getting it back off though, but it has been very difficult.0

When I first started this journey I was a 16 and 168, I am 5'40

I am 5'4 and currently weigh 146lbs
I exercise everyday but am apple shape (makes a huge difference in clothing size IMO)
I wear size 12
when I get to my lower weigh range or goal weight range of 130-132 I am between size 8/100 -
I was 168 when I was wearing 16s. But now I am 150 and wearing 4s. VERY hard to figure out size of pants / weight comparisons.
and yeah, i'm 5'4"
I'd like to mention that when I was in high school I was wearing size 12 and 14s. I weighed just barely 135. My flabby butt is still rather flabby, but it is smaller in size at my higher weight (150) than it ever was when I weighed less. Muscle being more dense than fat leads us to a smaller size and a higher body weight.
Screw that scale, is what my logic claims. But I still can't stop depending on it to make me feel good.0 -
I'm 5'5" and when I was a 16 (my biggest) I weighed 195. I'm now about 160 and am wearing a size 10.0

I am 5'4 and I started off at about 200lbs size 14-16 depending on the cut.. I am now about 156lbs size 8 pants. I am also rather muscular and get frustrated with weight. But im still working on weight loss. Feel free to add me0

I started at 215 wearing an 18. Last weeks weigh in I was 205 wearing a 16. Ive never had a self esteem problem because i feel like i carry my weight well, but definitely needed to get healthy and in shape! Enjoying my journey with MFP so far. I feel like something has clicked! Good luck. Feel free to add me if you don't have a group. Having a group of friends has helped a lot0
