    I'm 5 ft 8
    Weight 136 lbs (62 kg)
    Pants - size 10 - but really the size doesn't matter as we all know there can be huge variations in sizes.

    I am 5'8" 154lbs and wear a size 9. I am not trying to be too much smaller, because I am big boned and have no desire to be skinny (just curvy)

    I am 5-9 and 240 but losing as we speak....yipeee. I am not sure exactly what size I am in. I WAS buying 22's but they are falling off of me, I think I SHOULD be wearing a 20. I buy most of my work pants from Fashion Bug. They have very nice fitting pants. I refuse to buy any more pants until I lose another 15 or 20 pounds....

    I'm 5'8" and 136 and my sizes vary sooooo much! I have jeans from Old Navy that are a size 2, but shorts from Old Navy that are a size 6 and they both fit the same. Calvin Klein dresses are an 8, have other brands that range from a size 2 to 6! I have some old (really old) size 12 things that I can get away with wearing fit-wise, so I definitely think sizes have changed over the years. I don't consider myself small, so I'm not sure what size really tiny people wear if I can fit into a size 2.

    ^^^^I think we are twins.

    I am 5'7" and I weight 154 pounds and wear a size 9 jeans in Jrs. I'm trying to get down to 135lb. and 7 in jeans. I've been a size 5 and weighed 123 before and that was very unflattering. So I will be happy in a size 7.

    I'm 5'8", currently 161lb, wearing size 12 in pants (usually) and M or L (even XL in some brands) in shirts. Women's sizes vary a lot by brand, plus there's a trend for some brands to make "smaller" sizes actually larger, in the thought that women will be happy they can fit into a "smaller" size.:noway:

    I'm almost 5'7", weight 127lbs and have consistently been a size 2, 4 or 6 for the last several years, depending on the brand, degree of stretchiness of the fabric, and whether it was jeans, capris, or shorts. I usually wear small or medium shirts, but I have really long arms so I usually need a large if it's long-sleeved.

    I think the sizes have changed over the years. I was a size 14 when I weighed 175 (20 years ago) and now I wear a 16 but I'm 40 lbs heavier. Does that mean I could possibly fit into an 8 0r 10 when I lose my 40 remaining lbs? Wow....I really hope so! Oh yeah, I'm 5'9"

    Vanity sizing has gotten crazy the past few years. In high school, I weighed 150 - I am 5'9" - and I wore an 8 or 9 (and I thought I was enormous, sadly). Currently, 4 babies later, when I am 170 I wear size 8. When I use a size estimator, it says I will be a size 4 when I reach 150 again!

    I'm 5'7 and weigh in st 213 and depending on the brand of jeans I can fit any where from size 11-14. I'm very big bones all the girls in my family are. Shirts I fit a large to xlarge depends on brand also. But my biggest problem is the length of the shirt I have huge boobs and the hike up my shirt a lot. I'd like to get to 175 and see how I feel at that weight

    I'm 44, 5'8", and 136-140lbs on any given day. :tongue: I honestly haven't worn a pair of jeans since we were camping in June - it's too freaking hot for jeans in summer! LOL

    My shorts are all size 6 (Target's Merona brand, Levi's, and Sonoma or something or other from Kohl's).

    Various jeans in my closet:
    Levi's - size 6
    Lucky Brand - 8 (they fit last spring, but I got them for about $3 a pair at a thrift store, so no great loss if they are too big now! :bigsmile:)
    J Jill - 4
    Sonoma - 4

    Edited to add: now I want to go pull them out of the closet and try them all on! LOL

    I'm 5'8" or so and wear a large to extra large (fit into my first large pair the other day), or size 14-16 in jeans depending on where they are made. I weigh184. I have no hope of ever getting into a size 4, the day I do that will be the day my bones will jut out and I will be starving. I remember when i was younger and 118 pounds (19 years old) and i always felt like i was starving and my backbone was hitting my rib cage. I found around 170 to be comfortable, but I am aiming for 160-165. if i make it there I will be ecstatic and then i figure I will see from there, I know at 170 I was a size 10 in pants.
