    I'm 5'10'', currently 153lbs and my goal weight is probably somewhere around 145... mostly just toned and fit though! I'm recovering from a knee injury unfortunately, though, so I'm quite limited in my cardio possibilities and getting frustrated :( I'll get there eventually though!!

    You were a size 4/6 when you weighed 172?? I'm currenlty 170 and I'm having a tough time fitting into my size 12's! Even when I'm 160, I'm still a size 10/12

    I thought the same thing. I'm 5'10 and when I was 175, I was really lucky to fit in a 12, but I also have wide hips and a bizarrely large rib cage. Actually, I've been wearing a 14/16 whether I weigh 180 or 230 (my highest). I'm current 219 and would like to get back down to my college weight of 175-180. Honestly, I just want to be under 200, and anything after that is just vanity. My ob-gyn suggest I try to get to 210 before getting pregnant again, which I totally agree with. So, that's why I'm here!

    I know!

    I'm 5'10" and think I fit into some 4/6's (some brands have more flattering vanity sizing) back in my 20's, when my weight was about 125.

    As a teenager, I was thin and generally a size 9/10 (American).

    I can squeeze into some American size 10's now at 145-ish.

    UK sizes run roughly one up from American. (American 10= British 12, etc.) Depending on brand, of course. In the UK I think I wear about a size 14.

    5'10" my goal weight after having my baby was 160, I'm now 155, but with low body fat which means that even most size 4 jeans are baggy on me, you can look at my before and afters, I started at over 200 pounds after each of my children, the lowest I have been is 140's but can't for the life of me figure out how I got there!

    I'm 5'10.5 and I weigh 155 and wear about a size 8.
    I've got a good bit of muscle tone so I think I would be in the 140's if I didn't have the muscle.
    I'm going for 145 at the moment but I don't know when I'll actually stop losing weight. lol.

    I'm mainly just aiming for a 27.5 inch waist.

    Love this! I am 5'10"
    SW: 250
    CW: 199
    GW: 180 (then 160)

    I spent a brief amount of time at 135-140, size 10 in my early 20's. Looking back I looked sick and may have had a touch of an eating disorder.
    After my first baby I lost wt the right way and got to 165, size 10/12. I was shocked since the last time I could wear 10, I was 140.... just goes to show how different muscles make you look! Anyway, I would absolutely love to be back in 10s (with muscle tone!)

    im currently 6 ft, and just reached 198 lbs. after being stuck on 228 from last year mid august.
    my ideal weight is 145, but to get outta the overweight category, my goal for right now is 183.

    5'11" here...highest weight was somewhere between 267-270+ (I never got on the scale).
    Current weight is 196
    I have a large frame, so I'd like to get to somewhere between 170-175. I have a lot of excess skin from rapid weight loss though, so I may not get there without some assistance. That skin has got to go... I'm also building a heck of a lot of muscle, so I doubt I'm ever going to get the scale numbers really low. I fit comfortably in 12's now, so I'd like to see a 10 or maybe even an 8 one day!

    I'm 6' tall. Starting weight was 230. Currently 209. My goal weight is 160. That is what I weighed back in high school, when I thought I was fat. Funny how things turn out. I guess back then it was "skinny fat". I've already went from obese category to overweight, will be happy just to get into the healthy.

    Well, I'm not OVER 5'10 ... I'm almost 5'10 ... but 5'10 is super tall so I'm joining in too! :p
    Goal Weight: 145 (maybe 140?)
    Current Weight: 157ish
    Jean size: 5(in juniors)
    Shirt: medium... sometimes small.
    I don't really care if I drop a jean size, I actually don't want to. Jeans are expensive and my legs already look great! I need to lose about 10ish pounds of fat (i'm guessing?)

    I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 150-155 but if I can be toned and more fit at or around my current weight, I'll take it! When I weighed 145-150, I wore a size six. At this point in my life, I'm not too caught up on my clothing size or what the scale says, I just want to tone up, lose some inches and kiss my cellulite goodbye!!

    I'm 5'10" and my starting weight was about 345lbs at a size 28. I am now 296 and wear a 20 or 22 jean and a 18/20 shirt. My goal is to be 150-170. I have no idea what I will look like when I get to that size. I've been fat most of my life and probably over 300lbs my whole adult life. I'd love to be a size 10 but I don't know what size I'd be at that weight!
