What size pants do you wear?

cerrajean · January 2012

I'm 5'4"

I was 274 in a 26.

I'm now 239 in an 18 that someone told me the other night looked too big.

So maybe I'm a 16 now?

5'7 158 size 12 tight. So mostly 14 so I guess I am heavy in the middle. Goal is 148 and hopefully a size 10.

In ref to the forum post: "What size pants do you wear?" I'm a bit confused....there are a ton of girls who weight less than me, but wear the same pant size....they are all diff heights.....but I'm confused...how can i weight so much more than them, but be in the same pant size, and smaller at the top? I'm about 5'9" 260 and size 16 jeans

You most likely have a lower body fat % and more lean body mass (muscle, bone, organs).
At 5'10" I weigh 168 pounds but I wear a Small (sometimes XS) in shirts, 4-6 in dresses, and 6-8 in pants. Many women my height but 30 pounds lighter than me can't fit into those sizes, and it is because my weight is made up primarily of lean body mass and a low body fat %.

Although muscle technically doesn't weigh more than fat, a pound of muscle takes up a lot less room than a pound of fat.

I hope that people realize that it isn't their weight OR their size that matters, though. What really matters is whether or not you are healthy.

ahaah I love that, hey skinny sales associate, do you carry a size "fat"

Someone said that to me once, I ask her if she needed help and she looks at me up and down and smirks and rolls her eyes and asked if I had pants in her size, which was size fat azz (her words not mine). I've been in that business for while, so I can eyeball sizes. She was maybe a size 14, totally normal size. She was just being mean.
I actually carry up to size 64 pants there though.

I weigh 167 and I wear a 12. I really think it depends on peoples shape and the brand of jeans. I am pear shaped.

I'm 5'2", weigh about 182, and right now wear a size 14 overall in pants. I do have a couple of pairs of size 12 jeans I can fit comfortably, but my black jeans are a size 16. Why are black jeans always so much tighter than blue jeans? LOL I carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs though the belly does get in the way at times. My biggest problem though is the waist of my pants...because I have to size for my hips and thighs, I have to wear a belt which means the waist of my pants are bunched up. So I find myself buying the low rise so I don't have to always wear a belt and be bunched up at the waist.

5'7.5", ~133 pounds and a size 26-27, depending on the brand. Haven't bought the Junior's sizing in years... there's too many variables from brand to brand.
