    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.

    I am 5'8 and weigh 197 my pant size is about a 20 or 18W. This is the third time in here and I am just kind of coasting. Trying to see where I can cut my excessive eating. So far I think I have been helped just by learning the calories things have. Like tonight I ate 2 helpings of cheese and macaroni and they each were about 1/2 cup, but usually I just pile it in. I should have stuck with the one 1/2 cup serving could have saved me a lot of calories. I first started going bad when I quit smoking 7 years ago. I feel voracious about eating and cannot satisfy this deep hole.

    I am 5'7", 178 lbs, and I am in a size 12 :smile: My goal is to get into a 8/10 and be 160 lbs. 6 years ago I had anorexia and fit into a size 4 at 125 lbs and I didn't feel or look healthy at all. Every person's body is different.

    i love how we are all such different shapes and sizes!

    i am 5'7", 138# and wear a size 2/26 (occasionally 0/25). i have a vanity weight goal of 125...we'll see if i get there. i def believe that there is some vanity sizing going on with various brands/designers. i used to weigh 123-125 before my 4 kids (and back in high school, etc...) and i am pretty darn sure i wore a size 4!
