    I'm 5'7, around 130 pounds and my current collection of jeans run from size 3 to 9. If I go shopping, I use size 5/6 as a "jumping off point" to start trying them on.

    that's pretty consistent with the feedback i have gotten before too! i am wondering how i weigh so much lol... this is really annoying me.

    It can really depend upon the brand and even the specific cut/style within a brand. Also, some people carry weight differently. Also, remember that the number on the scale measures the weight of your whole body, not just your fat! So, you might also have higher bone density (a good thing!) and more muscle mass (also a good thing!).

    For what it's worth, the only jeans I own at the moment (I wear holes in them like nobody's business) are Joe's size 27. They're getting a bit baggy. I'm 5'4 and 125-130ish. (But I've pretty much sworn off the scale for the aforementioned reasons. It just doesn't mean a whole lot to me.)

    hmmm maybe i should have my mass measured by a doc.. have any of you ladies had this done? wondering if it will be worthwhile

    5'3" tall here. I used to fit into a size 5 when I was 120-125 pounds. I'm a 7-9 currently. I think. I don't know. I wear a belt...

    The size really doesn't say much. First of all, the system in fashion industry is totally messed up. It really varies from brand to brand. :(
    Second of all, people carry weight in different part. I weigh much less than you, but I can barely fit in a 28 jeans. I am a typical pear shape.

    Holy Moly is right!!! I am 5'5" and when I was 154 I wore a tight 10 and some 12s. I am now 124 and I am in a 6 or 8. You must be a small build. I am medium build and am amazed that some people the same height and weight as me are in 2s! You lucky girls! ;)

    does anyone know how to find out what size 'build' you are??

    I think if I remember correctly....wrap your hand around your wrist...if your middle finger and thumb don't touch you are large build, if your middle finger and thumb touch you are medium build, and if your middle finger and thumb overlap you are small build.

    Someone made a good point in saying that people are built differently as well. I gain weight pretty much all in my belly and that is always the last to go when losing weight. I also have wide ribs, which I hate!

    I have learned that your weight has nothing to do with your size. Your size is based on the shape of your body.

    You know if you are pear shape, and so forth.
