    5'3"
    At my heaviest, about 10 years ago, I was about 225 lbs and I was busting out of my size 20 jeans.
    At my lowest, I was down to 160 and was able to fit into size 14's.

    When I seriously started MFP in July, I weighed 208 lbs and wore size 18's.
    Currently, I'm about 182 and am wearing size 16's.

    Started out at 173, wearing between a 10-12, 10's were a bit snug. I've only lost 9 pds. but now I can fit into 8-10 size pants. I have a small waist but hips and thighs, so I can't go smaller. The smallest I ever got into was a 4-6, at 138 pds. but the the 4 was snug because of the legs. Hoping to tighten up, lose the fat on them and just have muscular legs.

    Working to get to 130 pds. Used to say hoping but there isn't hope or trying its doing.

    5"5- SW 212 size 14
    208 now size 14 :( so ready to go down a pant size!

    It's very interesting to me after seeing what others sizes are compared to my height and weight- It appears I wear a smaller size than others at my weight and size. Odd- What do you think?

    I can't figure out how every body wears such tiny clothes - when I was a fit 145 (I'm 5'5), I still wore a 12. 10 would never fit and I always felt "fat" because people asked what size I was and when I said 12, they would say, "You don't look that big."
    I worked long and hard on the farm and looked good. . .

    I hear you on this one. When I was in high school and in super shape, I only weighed 118, but only fit into 7's or 9's because of my butt, quite honestly. The waist would be too big, but my butt just wouldn't fit. And, of course, my butt is the last place I am losing inches on this weight loss journey.

    Vanity sizing.
    15-20 years ago a size 13 was about what a 9 is now.
    Any of you who actually kept your clothes from way back when will get this.

    Height: 5'4"

    Starting: 215 lbs. - size 16 (US) pants that were too big for me (No butt, skinny legs, have a stomach that makes it so hard finding good fitting pants)

    Currently: 188 lbs - size 14 (US) pants. Still have a muffin top, but they are starting to get too loose in the butt and legs. All my weight is in my stomach and hips.

    are you really trying to tell me that a barrel made of fat with a 27 inch circumference is bigger than a barrel of muscle with a 27 inch circumference?

    while fat and muscle weigh the same, fat does take up more room as muscle is more dense than fat. So, yes, that is what I was saying.

    26.5 inches and 26.5 inches are the same regardless of the material. That is just common sense.

    yes.... I agree!
    this muscle vs fat argument is ridiculous in terms of inches! Inches are inches!

    That said, you could be wearing non-stretch clothes while she is wearing stretchy or vanity sized clothes.

    Only other thing I can think of is if you have a longer space between your waist and your hips, as that would take up more fabric than someone who was short bodied.
