I'm roughly 5'8" and I have a smallish frame. I mean, I assume I have a smallish frame. The suggested weight is between 126-139 lbs.

Hon, I'm 5'7", and I do have a very narrow frame, and I hover at the 135 mark, and that is a SIZE SIX. (Since when is 6 the "normal" size? If you asked me cold, I would have said that 10 or 12 was the "normal" size.)

Is your goal to be a size six? I bet, realistically, not. I'm happy for you if losing weight makes you feel better, but don't beat yourself up tying to reach a ridiculous goal.

I'm not sure if I could be a size 6. Right now I wear 18/20 on the bottom and for the tops 14/16s are a bit too snug but 18/20s are too big on me.

I think I'd be happy at a 12 for the bottom.
