    5'.2.5 CW 119
    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)

    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.

    No, we have the same measurements. 26.5 inches of muscle and 26.5 inches of fat are the same amount of inches either way. We have the same hip measurement as well.

    Starting - 5'5 138lbs pants size 6 (US)
    Now - 5'5 126lbs pants size 4 (US)

    5'5"

    SW 262 - size 22/24

    CW 162 - size 12 (some 10s)

    GW 145 - hopefully a size 8, but I'm a pear for sure, so you never know. I'm wearing a medium top now and am hoping I won't lose much more from the top half of my body (except my bat wings)

    5'5"
    CW: 143 lbs
    Size: US size 6
    I carry most of my weight in my thighs and butt (and boobs!) but have a relatively small waist/hips.
    At my smallest I weighed 110 and I was a size 0.
    My goal is 120lbs and I think I'll be a size 2.

    body fat is not measured in measurements alone. She stated she had 98 pounds of lean muscle mass, so COULD have less body fat, therefore making her sizes smaller. My response was just a guesstimate as I do not know either of your body fat, but generally, that makes a difference.

    5'3"

    current weight 122-124: size 4 (juniors 5 or 7), but size 6 up top

    when I was 117 I was 2; when I was 117 and lifting a lot I was a 0 or 2. (juniors 1, 3 or 5); size 4 up top

    when I was 108-113 I was 0 or 2.

    I find juniors sizes more unpredictable than womens sizes.

    I really think they have changed the standards for sizes. Years ago at around 150-165, I wore anywhere from a 12-14. Now at between 140-150, depending on the day, week or month :wink: I can still get into my size 4's. I am just under 5'5"

    I'm 5'4" about 153 and pant size is 6-8. At 140 I am 4-6 , 135 2-4, 130, 0 - 2.

    This is a great example of how body type impacts size. I'm currently 139~140, 5'4" wearing 8s. 10s are just now getting too big. When I was at my skinniest, with quite a bit of muscle at 110-112 I was wearing a 4. Very rarely did a 2 fit me, even then. I have always had a bubble butt, no matter how much weight I've lost. Plus, I've got mommy hips, so I couldn't wear junior sizes if my life depended on it.
