    I am 5'6" and at 160... I am currently wearing a size 8, the smallest size ever, I carry my weight in my hips so size 2 is not a goal of mine, it's all about what is right for your body :flowerforyou:

    ^^^This.... I'm at a 12, which is small for me; my doctor doesn't want me below 170, believe it or not (eh, we'll see when I get there)... but I agree..it's what is best for you!!!!

    I was 5'6" and 130 for about a decade. I have wide hips, however and never got below an 8. I wear a 12 in jackets, as I'm fairly broad backed too!

    I'm now at 136ish and still wearing 8s. At my highest (about 12 years ago) I was 156 and a 12.

    WTH, I am 5'6 129 lbs and am wearing a size 8, probably should drop down to a 6 for them to fit right. American Eagle jeans. How all you ladies are the same size as me and in 2's and 4's is causing me great envy! Maybe having 2 children have caused my hips to become wider?

    Im 5'6" 140 and wear a 10. I skipped straight from child sizes to juniors 7. I have NEVER wore below an 8. (all jean sizes, mainly Levis). Maybe I wear the wrong size, but I dont like to have to paint my jeans on. Tops look big in medium, but thats the most comfortable to me. I can technically fit into a small. And I have a relatively small frame.

    I feel the same way! I wear 10s! (5'6 140lbs). but no kids. I think I have always wore the wrong size lol.

    5'6", 130 and size 4. It depends on the brand though, some 4s are too big.

    Ditto^^^^ I'm a small or XS in skirts and dresses.

    I have two kids, and wear a 2, but I think you look great. It doesnt matter what size you wear. Only how you look and feel. I wish I had more curves.

    I'm 5'7" and currently 138 lbs. I'm a comfy 8 but JUST fit into a size 6 of a certain brand. Not most brands. The idea of ever being a 6 is shocking to me. I've been a 12 or 14 most of my life.

    It definately depends on more than your height. I had a free personal fitness evaluation, and was told that my organs and muscle alone weight 142, and I need at least 20 lbs of fat to survive...so I can imagine I should be about 162 and will probably look thin..IF I tone my stomach as well, cause after having babies most of my fat is in my stomach and it makes my current pant size about 2 sizes bigger than my bottom half actually is...It sucks and because of it I don't feel good in anything I wear..sigh...anyway...Please don't automatically aim for a small size cause you don't know how your body will look at that size. Maybe try aiming for one lower pants size at a time? That's my goal at the moment so I don't drive myself crazy...Good Luck!!!

    I was 5'6", but I've shrunk to 5'5". I'm maintaining between 130 and 133 and most pants I buy now are size 6. I wear size 4 in some brands, and I have one pair of size 7 from WalMart that fit nicely. Sizes vary, so you'll have to try them on. In my transition to my current weight, I bought most of my "temporary" clothing at thrift stores. I didn't wear them long enough to merit paying higher prices. Have fun reaching your goal, then enjoy shopping!

    It depends on the brand but also depends on your build. I'm 5'6 and when I was around 155 I was a size 10/12. At 145(I looked too skinny because I am very large frame) I was a size 9. My body has changed since then plus i've had a baby so right now my goal is to get to 165/170 and see how I feel. I want to get into a comfy 12. I'm flat stomached and can wear a bikini at that size!
    our body type sounds similiar. Im just shy of 5'7 and am at 170lbs. Im in a 10 but they are getting loose.
