WTH, I am 5'6 129 lbs and am wearing a size 8, probably should drop down to a 6 for them to fit right. American Eagle jeans. How all you ladies are the same size as me and in 2's and 4's is causing me great envy! Maybe having 2 children have caused my hips to become wider?

I feel the same way! I wear 10s! (5'6 140lbs). but no kids. I think I have always wore the wrong size lol.

I think we are very similar. I wore size 10's @ 144

I have two kids, and wear a 2, but I think you look great. It doesnt matter what size you wear. Only how you look and feel. I wish I had more curves.

Thank you I guess we always want what we dont have.

im working toward 140 size 7 juniors (short). i felt comfortable at that weight.

I'm 5'7" and currently 138 lbs. I'm a comfy 8 but JUST fit into a size 6 of a certain brand. Not most brands. The idea of ever being a 6 is shocking to me. I've been a 12 or 14 most of my life.

It definately depends on more than your height. I had a free personal fitness evaluation, and was told that my organs and muscle alone weight 142, and I need at least 20 lbs of fat to survive...so I can imagine I should be about 162 and will probably look thin..IF I tone my stomach as well, cause after having babies most of my fat is in my stomach and it makes my current pant size about 2 sizes bigger than my bottom half actually is...It sucks and because of it I don't feel good in anything I wear..sigh...anyway...Please don't automatically aim for a small size cause you don't know how your body will look at that size. Maybe try aiming for one lower pants size at a time? That's my goal at the moment so I don't drive myself crazy...Good Luck!!!

I was 5'6", but I've shrunk to 5'5". I'm maintaining between 130 and 133 and most pants I buy now are size 6. I wear size 4 in some brands, and I have one pair of size 7 from WalMart that fit nicely. Sizes vary, so you'll have to try them on. In my transition to my current weight, I bought most of my "temporary" clothing at thrift stores. I didn't wear them long enough to merit paying higher prices. Have fun reaching your goal, then enjoy shopping!

It depends on the brand but also depends on your build. I'm 5'6 and when I was around 155 I was a size 10/12. At 145(I looked too skinny because I am very large frame) I was a size 9. My body has changed since then plus i've had a baby so right now my goal is to get to 165/170 and see how I feel. I want to get into a comfy 12. I'm flat stomached and can wear a bikini at that size!

our body type sounds similiar. Im just shy of 5'7 and am at 170lbs. Im in a 10 but they are getting loose.

I weigh 149 and fit in size 6 American Eagle jeans/shorts . . . unless they are the Bermuda shorts . . . because I have thighs and a butt! LOL

Hey! 5'6'' 123 lb and size 5. Hope this helps

Babybirdganz

I'm 5'6 and 127lbs. I have really wide hips So I wear a size 9 in juniors.
It really depends on the brand though... Sizes mean nothing anymore, none of them match up anyways!!!!
Just depends on your body type!!!!
Hope this helps!

Yep, sizing doesn't really matter. A lot of companies "vanity size" anyway, making you feel good at a smaller size in their brand. I'm 5'6 and 134 at the moment and a size 4, but when I am at my normal 125-127 I wear a 2-4, depending on the brand. I am also smalled framed and have a booty ;-)

Happylady123

I am 5'6" and weigh about 121 currently. I wear a size 5 in Juniors jeans and a size 4 is too large in women's clothing, but can't find a 2 at Belk for capris (sp?). I agree with most other posts... size varies widely in clothing. I tend to fit better in Juniors now.

I am about 4 pounds away from my maintenance weight and am a size 2. I imagine I won't be any smaller than that when these 4 pounds come off.

JenAiMarres

I wear size 0 or a two at the biggest... I weigh 130 lbs right now...I wore the same size at 118 lbs....I just have more muscle now..and my pants are definitly tighter, but still fit great in the waist....

carrie_eggo

I 5'6 1/2 and I'm a 2 or 4. My weight ranges between 121 and 126. A skirt or dress I can wear an even smaller size.

Kimberliipaige

ellentongyu2015
