    I am 5'2" 138 lbs. with 23 lbs. to go to goal...My tops are mostly medium with a few smalls, which was an added bonus cause medium is OK with me and never expected to go smaller. My Easter dress was a milestone in that I fit into an 8 comfortably for the first time. In pants and shorts I mostly have 8-10s but when I bought new summer clothes, I found one pair of shorts in a 6 that fit which felt good cause that is loosely my size goal and the first thing I've owned in that size since high school. But I have a friend in fashion design and I asked her about this whole weird sizing thing....it really has nothing to do with OUR bodies or actual measurements or us being "in between" or anything. There really is no standard enforceable measurements for each size that applies across the board for all companies so each company sets their own standards; and it is further dependent on the measurements of the fit model they get when designing the garment to begin with. Plus the whole vanity sizing thing that keeps making the smaller sizes larger to boost the egos of people who want to say they wear such and such a size but don't have the body for the traditional size. So in my case, the bottom line I was trying to find out in this conversation, is that in general, (with all aforesaid variations and exceptions in mind), if I wore a size 6 in 1984 that roughly translates to a size 8, sometimes even a 10 today. The key is not to focus so much on the number on the size label as to find clothes you feel comfortable in and be happy with it cause no one sees the label but you anyway and if you look/act great, no one else is going to care about the number. You're more than that number anyway!!

    Very interesting! I read about the differences in sizes as well.

    I'm 5'4", 117 lbs, and I wear a ladies 0 or juniors 1 or 3 depending. 25 or 26 in jeans, XS or S in most stuff. I'm really trying to tighten stuff up though because I look pretty good in clothes but not so much naked.

    At last weigh in, 159.6 and as far as size XL shirt and size 15/16 pants depending on the brand. Truthfully I'm probably smaller than that but not by much because my pants are all becoming what I refer to as "belt pants" because most of them I cannot wear out in public unless I have something to hold them up.

    I am 5'4'', and I currently weigh 223.6. Just bought some jeans in size 20; I wear XXL stretch pants from Target.

    This is an improvement, because I used to wear size 24 pants; I had to use the Plus Size Department at Target.

    Happy dieting!!!

    Heaviest Weight:205
    Current Weight: 188
    Lightest Weight:130
    Height: 5'3"
    Largest size: 18
    Current size: between 14&16
    Smallest Size: 6-7

    I wear a L /XL shirt,and at my smallest, typically wore a M/L

    I've always had issues buying clothes. I have a large butt and thighs as well as broad shoulders. If my pants fit over my hips, they're loose in the waist, even with my current gut. Another issue I have, pants are always too long. If I get a short size, they're a little too short. I either have to walk all over them or pay $15 to have them hemmed. Capris, forget it, they just look like short pants on my legs. haha

    In my adult life, I haven't worn a size S shirt, even when I was in great shape. My shoulders are too broad and my boobs are too big(not that they're very big). If I were taller, I think I would actually look kind of curvy! haha

    173, 5'8, Pant size's range by company and cut/style of pant. Right now i am 10-12 in pants. I can comfortable fit into a medium shirt but am mentally more comfortable in a large. My dresses range even more in sizes from 10-14.
