    Hi ladies! Just wondering what size everyone is. Right now I'm 126lbs and a size 2-4. I started my journey at 196lbs and a size 16.


    Have a great day!

    I am 32 years old, 5'4" and started my weightloss journey at 188 pounds and wore a size 16. Today I am at 143 and wear a 6-8, depending on the brand, and feel better than ever! I haven't been this small since middle school! :)

    I'm 5'3", started at 170-something and am now down in the 150s. I think the ideal weight for my frame is 130's, actually still "heavy" for a short person...

    I dunno who else this might interest, BUT I'm a fan of the classic, curvy look, so Marilyn's Monroe's dimensions were reported as follows:

    Height: 5'5" (I'm 5'3")
    Weight: 118-140 pounds (I'm 155)
    Bust: 35-37 inches (Currently 38")
    Waist: 22-23 inches (Currently 30")
    Hips: 35-36 inches (Currently 37")
    Bra size: 36D (36D, need to get remeasured)

    I'm lifting weights to keep the hourglass in check.

    I'm 5'1", I am 45 and my ideal weight would be 123-125, I am at 133 right now. I started MFP to be accountable for what I eat and also to eat more healthful.. I don't want to be super skinny like I was in my late 20's (106 lbs), I was too thin. Plus, I like my junk in the trunk and my boobs (as does my hubby) !!! I think I look better and more healthy at a higher weight for my frame. I can wear jeans/pants anywhere from a 4 to a 8. I would like to get back into my Lucky Brand jeans though!!

    5'3.5" - small frame

    Started at 125-ish (9 months pp after 2nd baby), size 7
    Lowest weight was 102 when he was 18 months, size 00-1, xs tops, very skinny no muscle tone
    Current weight is 110-112, size 0-3 depending on brand, s-m tops depending on stretch, my arms and shoulders are muscular now, yet bottom half stayed the same as far as measurements are concerned.

    Hmm -- I'm 5'3" weighing 145lbs -- my pants vary depending on brand too
    ones are now are 11 but pretty big -- and others are a 7 and sometimes 9..wtf

    my problem is they are tight on the legs and loose around the waist

    Have you tried Old Navy Sweetheart jeans? I have a small waist and larger legs. These fit me really well, no gap in the waist back. They also come in a short length.

    You are doing great! I'm 5'3 and weigh 130lbs. My goal weight is 125. I am a size 4. My goal is to have my measurement in proportion. I need to lose one inch off my waist and hips. Good luck!

    You inspire me.....I am currently 245 down 15 pounds from my heaviest! I was looking at this post and was kinda surprised. I am a size 18 W right now. I see a lot of people that way much less than myself at the same size?? It is funny how body sizes are so different.

    I think I'm broken lol...
    5'3" exactly 138lbs wear a size 12 pants..

    I have a very awkward body type, big boobs and stomach, with a million stretch marks and c-section overhang... & no butt to hold pants on.. I hate wearing jeans for this reason.
    I've been Getting Walmart brand pants though, maybe I need to try a different brand?

    I'm 5'3 and currently 131 (can't wait until I FINALLY get out of the 130s). I started at 145 in sizes 8 to 10. I'm wearing a size 6 now, which are starting to get baggy so I could probably fit into a size 4 in some brands. I'm waiting until I get to a solid size 4 before I buy new clothes though.

    Ideally, I'd like to be some where between 110 and 115 but I'd be happy with a really toned/buff 120.
    omg^^ this is exactly me to the T! except i'm 132 currently

    I am 5'3" exactly.

    When I weighed 282, I had one pair of size 26 slacks I could wear.

    At 257, I wore size 24 pants (and shirts)

    At 223, I wear a size 18w pants

    We'll see how it goes from here.

    I started MFP in January at 208 and a size 16.
    When I got married, 9 years ago, I was a size 13 and 150.
    Back when I was 14, pre-puberty, I was a size 9/11 and 130 lbs.

    I don't look 200lbs now, anymore than I looked 150 lbs when I got married. I've got a large frame and carry a LOT of muscle (played football in high school, rugby in college, and spent the years following college lifting a 300lb paraplegic brother). Still, 150 lbs was prior to the birth of my 2 children, so I'm shooting for 170.

    I'm 5'3 and started at 150lbs size 9/10. I'm currently 138lbs, and my jeans are all too big. I refuse to go shopping though until I weigh 130. My UGW is 115. I know that I used to weigh 107lbs and wore a size 2. I would be happy in a size 4 though. I did however get a new top recently and it was a small for the first time in 2 years!

    I'm roughly 5'3 and now weigh 153 lbs and wear anything from a UK size 12 to an 18 (US size 8-14 I believe). It really depends what clothes shop I'm in and I'm very top heavy!

    I started at 301 lbs, wearing size 28/30 jeans. I'm now 208, wearing size 16. Last time I wore size 16, I was at least 15 lbs lighter, if not 20-25. My goal is 140-150, and I have no idea what size that will end up being.
