    I started at size 18 in June 2011. Am now a solid 8 and 6 in some brands. I have low carb primal/paleo to thank for the best health in my life. Am close to my goal but not quite there yet.

    well we all know that women's sizes vary from store to store. when I started I really couldn't buy clothes in stores so it is hard to guage accurately. However, I have gone from buying a 42 (through the mail) to buying a 26 (in stores) so that would be 8 sizes. I started on February 13, 2011.

    I am also 5'10. It is hard but I am sure that you can accomplish your goals!

    Good luck!

    I'm 5'2". I started at 150 lbs around 10 in work pants, 11/12 in jeans and 10 in dresses. I'm now 122 lbs and a 2 in work pants, 1/2 in jeans and a 2 in dresses.

    So, that's, 4 in work pants, 5 sizes in jeans, 4 in dresses. Total of 28 lbs. Being short is hard. 1 lb is A LOT on a tiny frame. Now I'm down to 20.5% body fat.

    I'm 5'6".

    Last year at 190, I was in a size 16 in Levis (I like them because they seem true to size). Now I'm 162 and a size 12 in Levis that are getting a bit roomy (Yay!).

    I freakin' HATE vanity sizing. I try to keep in clothing that I know run true to size.

    I am bottom heavy so I don't wear dresses. Fortunately though, the bottom is where I lose weight the quickest. I have lost 3 shirt sizes and five pant/jeans sizes. Woo hoo!!

    I am 5'5". When I started MFP, I weighed about 185-190, not sure really (scale was inaccurate). I wore a size 12/14 dress/pants and an XL or XXL shirt.

    I am still 5'5" :laugh: . I now weight 149 and am size 5/6 and a S or M shirt.

    When I started I was into size 26 pants (24 was my skinny pants) I am now in 12's bordering on 10's as 12's are getting loose. Shirts 4x now I go between L and M depending on the cut. I wore scubs at work and went from 4x to M. I have my heart and sights set on a size 8 and a small/med tops **fingers crossed**

    I am just shy of 5'10''
    Sizes vary per store, so I use jeans as a measurement of clothe size since I still wear the same brand and style.

    I was 193lbs (Jan 1st 2011)
    Size 13

    I am now 157lbs
    Size 4

    I was a size 8 at 165lbs in January 2012, but although the scale has not moved much, I started weight training and the inches have just melted off since then. I have the body shape of a swimmer, so I have broad shoulders but very little hips and butt...clothes size also depends on body type.

    I'm 5'4". At my heaviest, I weighed 218-220 lbs and wore a TIGHT 16.
    Now, at 142 lbs, I'm between a 4 and a 6, depending on the brand and style of clothing. XL to a S/XS!!
    So, that's 5 or 6 sizes in 80 lbs!

    I went from an 18 (probably close to 20) and the other day I tried on a size 12 and they fit! I was so happy.

    Pants are a little weird for me.
    I'm 5'2.5,

    Previous weight: 170, Jeans size 6
    Current weight: 135-136.4, Jeans size 3 (but they're a little loose). However, the other day I fit into a size 0 dress comfortably with some stretch room (it was a stretchy vicose/spandex dress).

    I've lost two sizes. I was wearing an 11/12 and now I can fit into a 7/8, which is what I was wearing when my husband and I were first dating. I think I could fit into that size when my oldest was about 15 months old too if I remember correctly. My body is so different now though after having kids. There are just areas that will never be the same. That's okay though, I feel much healthier than I did this time last year and my kids are worth all the changes to my body.

    I found the smaller you are the less weight you need to loss to change to the next size. I would say for about every 5-10 pounds you could change sizes if you have about 30-40 pounds to lose. I have about 44 more to lose and I have already loss 50 pounds. I droped from a 22-24 to XL top and 16-18 bottoms from size 22. I hope this helps you. Sizes do vary so much from one bran to another that I sometimes have to go larger or smaller. You know it all comes down to how you feel in the dress.:flowerforyou:
