Ladies that are around 5'3 ish and around 135-145lbs please tell me what your waist size is in inches? Pant sizes would be helpful too. I'm trying to get a better idea of what I want the inches to be around my waist. Thanks!

    Everyone is different and it should be what works for you and looks right on you. You will know when you are there.

    5'3"/F, 128-130 lbs., medium-boned*, 29" waist, pant sz. 6-8 (11-12 at my largest)

    *Frame size will/should be a factor in setting your goal waist size/weight -- obviously, I am very thick-waisted, what little waist I've ever had. ;) Frame size calculator: http://health.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Frame-Size-Wrist

    Your waist size is mostly determined by genetics. Depending on body type. It could be anywhere from
    22- 36 or whatever. The lowest mine has ever been since puberty when I was fit and younger (lots younger)
    is 32. Even at that age I never had a difference of more than a couple of inches in any of my measurements.
    Bust Waist Hips have always been pretty close to the same number.
    I'm a block straight up and down. There's no way to change a body type.
    Small waist, bigger hips. Thick waist, smaller hips. Generally.

    Waist size will vary a lot for a given height/weight due to body types. Hourglasses and pears will have much smaller waists than bananas/rulers and apples. Maybe you should specify your body type to get applicable responses!

    I am 5'3 and 115 pounds now and have a waist of 25/26. Pants size now= 2

    When I was 135/140 my waist size was about 30 inches. Pants Size then was a 6 or an 8

    It took me about 5 months to get down to this size and I've been stuck at 115ish for a while.

    4'10" 100lbs 24 waist 28 around navel/love handles area and size 0-2 depending on brand pants. I am small frame apple shape. I can get up there in pant size very easy! My mid section is always the last to come down in size. I look very normal right now. Not underweight at all. Most people are shocked when I tell them my weight, but I am definitely normal.
