    26.5 waist 35" around fullest part of hips/butt

    In women's I wear a comfortable size 2, in some brands a size 0 and I have a few 00 but that's clearly vanity sizing.
    In Jr's it usually a 3 or 5, sometimes a 1 again depending on brand.

    SW close to 170..163 my first weigh in. 34" waist 42" hips.. I was wearing a 12 or 14 in womens. Couldn't fit into Jr sizing

    I don't mean this to be rude, I'm just curious... but how are your sizes possible? I have the exact same measurements and I wear a US 6 (at 90% of stores)

    I'm 5'4" and I started at nearly 200 lbs and was wearing a size 16 (US sizes), although I probably could have fit into some tighter 18s. I'm now about 145 and I wear between and 8 and a 10, although it varies a lot because my waist is small and my thighs are big. The more forgiving the thighs of the pants are, the smaller I can go :-) My goal is to lose probably 10-15 more pounds (depends on what I feel like when I get there!) and I'll probably end up a size 6, maaaayyybe a 4 but I'm not pushing it. I don't think of my pants size as a game of golf; I don't need the lowest score!

    this is another example of where body fat (more than likely) plays a key role in pants size. The less body fat you have, the smaller the size will be.

    Even with the same measurements it's possible to be shaped differently. I'm pretty lean..have 94lbs of LBM at 119lbs. The shorts in the picture are an Old Navy XS.

    90% of my pants are size 2 and that is comfortably...I can not stand feeling snug in my clothes.

    I am 5ft 3in and starting wieght 150 lbs and am now down to 143 lbs. I am a size 14 (UK) and am still a size 14 but clothes are starting to feel far more comfortable than they were. GW is 126 lbs and a UK size 12. I've never been small so just want to get 3/4 lbs under the top end of my weight range.

    I'm 5'4.75. I'm a figure 8 shape, carry most of my weight in my lower tummy and love handles. I think shape is really important when comparing pants sizes, because for me what I fit on my comfortably can sumtimes cause me muffin top so I have wear a size bigger. Anyways.

    Starting weight: 185 and I was in a loose 15.
    Current weight 126 and I'm in a 5/6. I can fit in a 4 in some but others button easily but my if give me muffin top. depends on the brand.

    They are correlated. Here is the data from this thread (excluded those in UK and outside height limits).
