What is a typical pant size for a woman whose 145 lb?

angdpowers

I'm 5'6" and I wear 8 to a 10.
Most 10's are too big though.

This is a really OLD thread but I'll chime in anyway because it's important to understand that body type matters a lot.

It seems like a common answer here is that women who weigh 145 are wearing size 8. However, I am 5'6" and 168 pounds and wearing size 8 (in several different brands). However, my body shape is strawberry (aka inverted triangle)....I have narrow hips, a small butt, and slender thighs. When I get to 145, I'll probably wear a size 4.

I was 145 and a size 7 or 9

Oh and I'm 5'2

I have been 145 at several different times in my life (5'5"). I have been "skinny fat" (wore about a 12), average muscle/fat (wore about 10) and fit working out with heavy weights (wore about size 8). Bottom line - lift weights

Currently about 130-135 and wear a 4/6 in most items.

I am 5'10", and I wear a size 12 (I weigh 145).

this is surprising

I am 5'2" and at 145 I was an 8.

Same here.

I'm 5'6'' and 145 lbs and I wear usually a 6/8 depending on where I buy my jeans, sometimes they go up to a 10 depending on the store.

5'5" 147, Wear between a 4 and an 8. 4's tend to be in popular brands like Old Navy, Gap or Eddie Bauer. 8's in C of H or Hudson Jeans. 6's pretty much anywhere else (Talbots, Banana Republic, etc.) Of course there are always outliers.

I've always been "dense"... in other words, I weight a ton more than I look. Everyone's different. Instead of picking a weight, I'd pick a size. If I picked, say 125 lbs, as my goal weight, that would put me in a 0 or 00 and wouldn't be sustainable. I like food way too much for that.

When I was 145 I was wearing size 12s. I am 5"3

Nice to see a thread continue, from 9-11-11. . . what the what?!? Can someone find a foot size question from 2009 and move it along like this?

Yes, this is an old thread, but someone brought it up for a reason.

When I was 145 I wore a looser six. Now, at 139, I wear a four, but I can fit into some sixes depending on the cut. I'm 5 ft 4 inches, but I lift heavy too.

However, this comparison is useless- if someone weight lifts they will be able to wear a smaller size because that's what heavy weight lifting does to us females.

So, what size you wear at 145, or any weight, will depend on many things.

I'm not down to145 yet, but when I was in the past it was about a size 5 for me. Very different from a lot of other responses because when I was 180 (before starting on MFP) I wore a 10 comfortably
Btw, I am 5'2.5"

I am 5'2.5" and weigh 145 lb. I wear a size 4 in women's and a 7 w/ a belt in juniors (thanks to my thighs and booty from squats :P)

Way back when In high school I was 150 and wore a size 10 ( I'm 5'5) My 13 year old daughter is 140lb and 5ft4, she wears a size 4! It's crazy to see how truly different we all are! I really enjoyed everyone's posts

I am 5'4" and at 145, I wore an 8. I tend to carry my weight mostly in my thighs and upper torso, though.

Vanity sizing is just getting out of control these days. I'm 228 pounds and wear a size 16. When I was 185 pounds and inches smaller i wore a 16 too.

Back when I was 140 I was a size 10, but with vanity sizing these days that might end up being much smaller.

There's generally less vanity sizing with more expensive clothes, too.

I'm 5'7" currently 150 lbs and wear a size 8 in most jeans. At 140-145 I wear a size 6 in most jeans. I carry my extra weight in my thighs tho - I have to get jeans loose in the waist for them to fit over my thighs, then wear a belt, lol.

I'm 5'2.5" and when I was 145 lbs I was in around a size 8-10 depending on the brand. Now I'm 128 and in a size 4-6 depending on brand.
