and I'm aiming for 155-158 lbs...  and that would have me easily filling into a size 10.  

What are you aiming for?

bri bri, your almost same stats as me, I'm 5 10 too, 140, lost about 5 so far in three weeks, my goals are broken up as follows, want to be 139 by May 30th, gives me ten days to lose one pound, and then by June 29th (my bday) hoping to get down to an all time low of 135, so ill have about a pound a week to lose in June, Im planning on zigzagging my cals between 1200-1600 for this week to see how it goes, as im halfway im afraid of my metabolism stalling

Hi, Im 5ft 11 (ish) and about 158lbs, my goal weight is 140lbs, i just wanna be a little slimmer for summer. I aim for between 1200-1400 cals, but usually only manage 30mins of exercise evryday. Anyway got any tips for losing stubborn belly fat?

Original Post by rebepi:

5'9.5" currently 166, looking to get down into the low 150's. I think I'll reevaluate at that time to see if I want to lose any more.

I really thought that I was going to be happy at 160, but I know that it'll still feel way too big on me.

Apparently I hold all my weight in my stomach. *sigh*

You are exactly the same as me!! Im 3lbs away from my original target, but i just dont think thats enough! silly tummys. Im trying for maybe 147.

To joyrae and carolally what is your dress size, if you dont mind me asking? you two are at my ideal weight! :D lucky!

Sizes can be a bit funny as it seems to depend on the store.  At the gap and old navy, I wear a size 4 pant or jean.  At rickis (a canadian store) I wear a 4 or maybe a 6 in a skinny pant.  At a 'juniors' type store I wear a size 5.

My top half is very small, so tee's I wear a small or extra small.  Sometimes at a juniors store I will wear a medium but thats because I am usually buying hoodies or something more comfy.

I started a boot camp style fitness class in Jan, and have put on weight #'s, but my clothes fit the same since then and my measurements have gone down overall.  I have gained muscle tone in my arms and legs, and more defined abs.  So even if the scale gives a higher number, I think I fit things better now than when I weighed 140.

Hi clairebear, I would usually be a uk 10 (top and bottom), I dont know what that is in US but i guess if a 00 is a UK 4, 0 a UK 6, 2 a UK 8, then maybe im a US 4? anyways I dont think ill ever be a 8UK but id prefer to be a small UK10 rather than tight UK 10...

Another place to check for jeans is the Gap website. They have long sizes, which are 34" inseam and then tall sizes which I think are a 36" inseam. The tall sizes are exclusively available online.

Benetton also has trousers and jeans that are usually have an inseam of at least a 34".Banana Republic in the US has tall sizes which are 34" as well, only on line. I'm not sure about the BR in London.


If you're in the US, J Crew (www.jcrew.com) has tall sizes as well, with an inseam of 34". You can only find them online, but you can try on the regular lengths in the store and get free delivery if you place your order from a store.

To answer the other question floating around, I'm 5'11" and aiming for 140 ish. I have a very small frame and carry more body fat than I should, so I am hoping to lose 8 pounds of mostly fat.
