    I'm 5'3" and at my heaviest (214lbs), I wore a size 16/18 and XL in tops. Now, at 158lbs, I'm in between a 10 and 12 (my 12's are too big now but I don't find that I fit consistently into 10's). My problem is that I have a tummy, but no butt whatsoever. I can't wait to hit the single digits again - I'm so close!

    I'm 21, 5"3 and I started using MFP Jan 2012
    SW: 161 size 12 (getting v tight though!)
    CW: 144 size 10/12

    I carry my weight on boobs/thighs and bum.. A kind of chubby hourglass figure!
    My main goal is to fit comfortably in to a size 10 with my GW of 130.. If I'm smaller I definately won't complain but playing a lot of sport isn't helping my thighs as they're getting so muscly I'm pretty sure they're getting bigger! But my boobs have gone from an F cup to a DD which feels a lot nicer! Can't wait to start losing off my belly now..

    Great thread x

    I started at 155, size 8-10. I'm now at 139 and just bought a pair of size 4 jeans at Banana Republic! So exicted!! Most of my other pants are 6s right now.

    Hrm, I should check this out myself. I'm seeing many people at around 130 lbs wearing really small jean sizes. I'm at 130 lbs myself at the moment but I'm still wearing my size 10 jeans! Granted, they're somewhat loose but I can still wear them without them falling off my waist.

    5'3, 111ish, in between 25 and 26 in jeans, usually 0 in everything else. A few years ago I was a muscular 130 and a 28 in jeans/size 6 at that time.

    5'3'' and weigh about 120lbs last time I checked. Its hard to find pants that fit me but usually the ones that fit perfect I find in the Kids section size 14/16 also I go to women petite section usually size small. And then for tops I go for medium/large Junior tops.

    I'm 5'3"

    Pretty much all belly and boobs...180 pounds, size 14 pants, XL shirts.

    Goal size...120-125 pounds, size 5/6 pants and M shirts. :)

    I've been there before, hoping I can get this weight to come off so I can feel sexy again. :)

    5' 2" here. My highest was 195 pounds and a size 20. I started this diet at 179 pounds and a size 18. I'm down just short of 14 pounds and I am still wearing most of my 18's, most of my 16's are still to tight. Yes, I carry about 90% of the weight I want to get rid of around my waist.

    I'm not quite 5'3 more like 5'2 and a 1/2...but I'm currently hovering 168-172 and I can fit an 8 in pants, but feel most comfortable in a 10. I'm really top heavy so I'm a 10-12 in dresses. I'd like to get to 145lbs and get into a size 6 with no problem...

    I'm 5' 2". I haven't bought anything lately, but I'd say for the top, anything from 00 to 4 Petite and for the bottom, anything from 2 to 6 Petite (ugh).

    It sucks. If my weight distribution was different I'd be perfectly fine at my current weight, even though it's much higher than it was in college.

    The other day I discussed a program I follow that calls for no heavy weight on my lower half because I don't want to look any bigger. I'm at a pretty low weight now and realistically I can't lose a whole lot more weight. If I were an athlete who needed strong or big legs this program would not be sufficient. But that's not my goal.

    I am 5'-2" and just starting on MyFitnessPal. My current weight is 145 and I'm between a 8 and 10. My goal is 120lbs (which I have been before, it's between a 4 and 6). I have a large bust, small waist and small ribcage - most of my weight is in the midsection/thighs/arms. Wish me luck!

    It depends on the company, but according to this converter, a US 2 is a UK 6. http://www.85b.org/dress_conv.php

    When I used to buy Laura Ashley clothes, a long time ago, and weighed less, I think I wore a 6.

    I'm 5'3" and started losing at 312lbs. I was a size 28 tending to a size 30, that was in 2004. Was at my smallest 142l bs and a size 8 that was in 2007. Due to health issues, loss of a child and general depression issues I balloned back up to almost 240 lbs. that was in August of 2011. I am now at 188.5 and a size 14 or 16 depending on the clothes. My goal is to get back to a lean and fit 140 lbs, I was skinny fat before, and reassess my goals at that point.

    I'm 5'2 starting weight 164 Size 9
    I'm now 120 and wear a size 1-3 (mostly a 3 but have been able to buy 2 pairs of jeans that are size 1 recently, I'm assuming that's just differnt brands=different sizes though. Also, that's in juniors I've never shopped in ladies except for work clothing.

    I'm 5'2' and weigh 160 wearing a size 6. When I lost 15lbs earlier, I still wore a size 6. Although I gained throughout my twenties, I still remained wearing the same size pants which I always found to be quite odd, that's why I never realized that my weight had gone up so dramatically.

    Different body types would gain weight in different places....that would be my guess. I'm 5'2, I currently weigh 146 and I'm between sizes 9-11. I gain most of my weight bottom first.
