Don't get me wrong, I am excited to say I am wearing a size 6 jeans, but I am just a little concerned with this. I mean I am 5' 2.5" and weigh 160lbs. I want to lose another 42lbs. What size will I wear when I get to my goal? If 10lbs = a size I will be smaller than a 0.

Sizing sure is different than it used to be. When I was in high school and was about 120lbs I never wore the teeny tiny sizes. I was always around an 8or so.

Just your height - and weigh 125 - and I wear 2 petite in most pants. At 152 pounds, I comfortably wore I size six. I know this b/c after a long plateau, I thought this was where I would end - so I bought a wardrobe of 6s . . . huh. well, that didn't last. I now wear 2p on bottom and about a 6 on top. I have big shoulders. MY pant sizes went down quickly, then my shirt sizes - so you may be surprised how you end up. My favorite store is Ann Taylor Loft - the petite section is perfect for me. One thing you can find - if you have a straight body (no hips and thighs), you will be able to fit into a lot of small sizes - they just give so much more room than the old days. I can't begin to wear "curvy" styles. You may find that 125 pounds will be right for you. You are doing awesome. Enjoy your loss!!
