I'm 170-something. And I wear a size 12/14. But other people are like a size 10/8, and they're like 175. It really confuses me.

    Everyone is different.

    I'm 172lbs and wear the same size as you. do you happen to be 5'1''? maybe these other people are just a little taller than us/maybe they have more muscle mass or so on. there are many different factors. everyone is different.

    Its not the same for everyone, fat is stored in different places. For example, since I stored most of my weight in my upper body (My arms and chest) there were times that I could wear a size 8 bottom at 160, while my mom who was 140 and all her weight being in her butt and stomach couldn't.

    I'm 5'4", 170 something pounds and a 14/16 pant. Occasionally a 12, because women's clothing is just ridiculous and illogical. I'm on the busty end, but still wear mostly medium tops. I just carry most of my weight around my waist and hips, according to my stretchmarks!

    Everybody carries their poundage a little differently.

    Depends on where your body stores fat. I wear mine around my waist. I've been bouncing between 175-180 and I'm a 14-16, whereas others are closer to a 10-12. Am I jealous? Yep. But it is what it is and I'll get there, too.

    ETA : I'm 5'7"
