    Where do you shop for pants? I think some brands run small especially expensive ones
    Not if you shop at Christopher Banks, I wear size 16 but only needed 12-14 if I buy my parents from Christopher Banks.

    5'8, 185 pounds, 14s are getting a bit loose. They started fitting at 195, so makes sense. Hourglass figure with, as my mother-in-law calls them, "viking birthing hips and tatas to go with them!" Thanks, mil.

    Don't forget ......if you are working out, especially if you are lifting weights to tone your body, your muscles are going to weigh more than fat. Its the inches you shed off that count. Congratulations by the way!!!!!! I lost 60lbs through weight watchers 2 years ago, and I have started to get into my old habits of eating poorly due to stress. Not to mention that the Holidays/Birthday/Valentines day didn't help the situation. Signed up on this website for motivation to get back into losing, since I will be getting married in November. I would like to get to a size 8, currently wearing a 14 due to my large bottom and thick legs. I am 5'8 and weigh 186. I could use any advice with losing. I am a sucker when it comes to carbs and I am having a extremely difficult time cutting it out of my diet. HELP!

    I'm 5'7, weigh 219 and wear a size 14/16 dress pant. My jeans are 16's tight, should go up but I refuse. My shirts are XL due to "the girls" and my upper arms. Last time I lost a ton I got down to 165 and a size 10 with a M top.

    this is so interesting.... Im 5'7" and when I started I weighed 167. I now weigh 147 and my jeans size has stayed the same.. Im an 11-12 in Maurices brand premium jeans.. They fit better but I thought by now I would have gone down at least one size.. My shirt size is M-L.. a bit frustrating!

    I'm 5'8 about 175lbs and I fit into a size 10 jean and m-l shirt!
    When I weighed 145-150, I was a size 6/8 and wore a medium shirt all the time. I have a broad frame (shoulders, hips, etc.). My goal is to get back into a size 8!

    5'8" and a size 8 pants and medium top at 158 lbs. I have a pear shape. I have a vintage 1960 skirt in a size 14 that's too tight to wear. I think sizes have changed over the years!

    we are incredibly similar in size--

    I am 5'8 1/2, size 8 or 10 pants, medium tops, bouncing from 154-157 pounds at the moment

    It's called vanity sizing and it started several years ago. As we got fatter, they started making clothes larger and not changing the size. When I was a teen, the super skinny girls wore size 3 or 5. There were no 0s or 00s. Remember the 5-7-9 shops? Only the thin girls could shop there. My mom has been the same weight/size her whole life. She always wore a 12....she's still the same size and shape but now wears a 6 and sometimes a 4, depending on cut.

    Wow, who knew we could all vary so much in size?

    I'm 5'9 and weigh 145lbs but my hips are larger (for my size), so I wear size 8 pants (or 29 in jeans) and I usually have to get the top of my pants taken in by a tailor. I wear small tops. My measurements are 36-26-41.
