Ding724

I am 5'9". My weight is 153-155 and I currently wear size 8 from AE...when I was at my heaviest, almost 205lbs I wore 14/16.

i'm 5'6" and 210 lbs and i wear a size 18

Init_to_winit

I am 5'7" and pear shaped. ALL of my weight is in my hips/thighs/butt.

Started MFP at 175 pounds and size 14.

Currently 150 pounds and size 10, though they are getting a wee bit loose. I don't see myself going below a size 8 when I get to my goal weight of 145.

I'm the EXACT same way! I am 5'7" and started at near the same weight and was in a 14. I am now down to 166 and in a 12, can't wait until I'm at 150!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!!

wow! don't you just feel like some stores make their sizes more to your liking so you will shop there more!? I mean if one store said I was a 2 I would never leave haha

See if there is a Chico's near you-a 10-12 is a size 2-2.5 there. Their clothing is also a little more generous in waist size so if you are like me and find you fit in a smaller size but the waist is tight (that's my situ) you might have success there.


I'm 5'2" - at 165 I was a solid size 14. at 159 I was wavering between 10 and 12, mostly 12's. At 148 I'm a loose 10, 8's fit but the waist is usually snug. I even have one size 6p I bought by accident (hanger said 8p and they fit other than waist being tight). I love those pants I hope by 145 I'll be a solid size 8 as I have more clothes in this size.

I am 5'6, currently weigh 174 lbs. and wear a size 14 pants comfortably. I can fit into some size 12 pants but they are a bit tighter than I like.

thetrishwarp

5'5", 155lbs (lots of 5's!) - size 6 (but I own a couple 4s that fit)
at my highest weight of 185lbs I was in a 12-14.

jessisc

Right now I am 162lbs 5' 3", and wear a lose size 14, but just can't seem to get in to the 12s yet. Even at my smallest, 125lbs I wore about a 7. Must have wide hips. But the pants are always way to long!

amberlee2011

I am 5'3 and 186 also! My pant size is the same...a 16 or an 18...really depends on the brand. I've lost 14 pounds so far. I'm wearing a size 16 today and they are a little snug but I can breathe and sit and they aren't cutting off any criculation lol.

kittyhorn

I'm 5'6" and 166lb (most days..lol) and I wear anywhere from a 10 to a 12 depending on the brand. I think I have a few 9s that fit but I think they have to be large 9s.

@jessisc: I have a 30" inseam and I think they make pants for amazons!

meg_sue

I am 5'10" and am 166 lbs. I wear a size 11 Old Navy jeans. The size 10 in my Carhartt jeans area a bit of a squeeze. My goal is to be more comfortable in my Carhartts.

5'3", 135, and size 6

While sizes brand to brand are more or less a crap shoot, inside a single brand it's all about waist size and hip size, not weight. I think if you compared your waist and hip measurements to others, you'll find less difference than comparing weights.

kehowe83

I am 5'11 and roughly 160-163. I usually where a size 10, but business pants, usually an 8 and cordoroys are around a 12.

vivie72

I am 5' 4" and weigh 220...I wear usually a 14 I have one pair of 12 jeans and sometimes a 16...depends on the cut. I can't wear skinny cut. I was a 12 when I was in the 190s.

Chenoachem

I am 5' 6" and weigh ~133lbs. I wear a size 4 in most womens clothing and a size 7 in misses/juniors. Since having a child, I think that is the lowest I will be able to go regardless of waist size.

fuhrmeister

I'm 5'6" 212lbs I am currently weariing sizes 16-20..but I really shouldn be wearing the 20's but when I was 135 in 9th grad I was weare an 8. other people on here weight 130 have said things like 4 and 6. Body shape and bone structure is a big deal.

fteale

I am 5'5", weigh around 133lbs and wear a 27 or 28" jean, depending on the brand. That's about a UK 10. I can get into an 8, but would rather avoid the muffin top.

I always think people on TV my weight look much smaller than me, even if they are a bigger clothes size. I really don't carry weight well.

dirtyblue

I am 5'10" and weigh 161 lbs. I just bought size 8 dress slacks from New York & Co and size 10 jeans from Target. At my heaviest at 193 lbs I was a size 12/14.

shiseido_faerie

I'm 5'2 and weight 131, I wear anywhere from a 6 to a 9 depending on the store, I am a pear shape. I know a lot of others my height/weight are about a 2/4 but I got the hips/bum!

natskedat

I'm 5'6" and weigh 137-141. I wear a size 6. When I weighed 170 I wore a size 10. I think some stores create "vanity" sizing, but I'm not complaining...

holliehhobbie

I'm 5'7" and have always been curvy. (large hips, butt, and tighs but a smaller waist and chest)
at 202 - size 18 or 20
at 185 - 14
at current weight 168 - 12 (are loose, but 10's are not comfortable, my husband bought me some skinny jeans in a 12...they fit like a size 8!!)
years ago at 145 - 150 - size 8 or 10
many years ago around 130 - size 6

I'm 5'8" and 218 and wear a size 18. A lot of it depends on how you're proportioned (bottom heavy) or how wide your hips are. You might be slender, but the wide hip bones would account for you needing a be a larger size.

I'm less focused on what size I'm wearing and more focused on how healthy I've become by being a healthy weight and eating healthy.

If you are like me, then the 12s will get loose around 160 pounds. Always something to look forward to!

CoryIda

I am 5'10" with a large bone structure.

At my heaviest (280), I was a 24W. After shedding over 100 pounds, I now weigh 178 and am in a Size 10. I don't want to get any smaller than this. I also went from an XXL shirt to a Small or occasionally Extra Small, from a 44F to a 34DDD or 36DD, and from a Size 20 dress to an 8, sometimes a 10, depending on whether it accomodates my boobs or not.
My measurements are 40.5 Chest, 29 Waist, 39.5 Hips.

femmerides

I have a lot of muscle and am built like a farm girl. Lol. I am 5'5", 183-188lbs (depending on the time of day), I wear mostly 10's but some 12's fit, I have 24% body fat and a 34.5" waist.

Here's how my sizing and weights were:
252.8 I squeezed in to stretchy 18's but should have been in 20's.
220.8 I still wore 18's but could actually wear a fitting shirt without a muffin top.
210 I was a 16
199 I was a 14
191 I was a 12
183 I am a 10

I can squeeze on 8's but its not attractive. Lol. I'm hoping to be a size 8 when I hit 170ish.
