    Size 5 (sometimes 3) and I am 130 lbs & 5'6"

    ETA: When I was 154 lbs I was wearing size 7.

    I think a lot of it has to do with whether or not you have children, too. Since having kids, juniors jeans just don't fit me right. This drove me crazy for a while until I realized that I'm a woman now and shouldn't expect to wear what I did when I was a teenager. I'm a 6 (could squeeze into a 4, but I don't like being uncomfortable! lol) I'm 5'4 and about 130. Even if I lost 15-20 lbs to get back to my highschool weight (which I wouldn't want to do), I don't think size 3/5 jeans would fit the way they used to.

    Holy Moly is right!!! I am 5'5" and when I was 154 I wore a tight 10 and some 12s. I am now 124 and I am in a 6 or 8. You must be a small build. I am medium build and am amazed that some people the same height and weight as me are in 2s! You lucky girls! ;)

    does anyone know how to find out what size 'build' you are??

    I think if I remember correctly....wrap your hand around your wrist...if your middle finger and thumb don't touch you are large build, if your middle finger and thumb touch you are medium build, and if your middle finger and thumb overlap you are small build.

    Someone made a good point in saying that people are built differently as well. I gain weight pretty much all in my belly and that is always the last to go when losing weight. I also have wide ribs, which I hate!

    I actually think it's your index finger, not your middle finger.

    Sizes vary for different brands. Some stores 'small' is too big on me and some 'large' is too small. Go figure.

    I wear W 28 and L 35 jeans and they have a good fit, wight currently is 145lb at 5'11" tall. I have 2 children birthed natural way, and 2 months after the 2nd child I was the smallest in size in my life ever... so the whole extra weight excuse due to children baring is just that, excuse for eating getting out of control.

    I did notice that crossing age 40 I can't eat as much and loose extra off as quick as I used to, due to body changing and slowing down. I am still working on making adjustments to eating smaller portions.

    I'm 5'4 and can weigh anywhere between 125-135 and fit into my 5s.
    It's not just about the weight...inches don't always equal weight. I lift weights and that changes the inches of my body depending on my lifting plan.

    Wow! You are blessed! Even my shoe size changed from a 7 to an 8! lol My pelvis definitely spread out and I weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with both of my kids. Maybe b/c I'm short? Maybe because I didn't start having kids until I was older? In any case, I don't think I'm alone in having my body permanently change after childbirth despite eating healthy, breastfeeding and exercising daily.

    Im 5ft 4in 153lb and wear a size 12 in New york and co jeans. They are starting to get baggy and fall down. I always say my shape is an egg on sticks lol. I have in shape legs but a big belly I am working on getting rid of.

    Also have a pair of banana republic size 8 non stretchy trousers I am working on fitting into. I can get them on but not able to button yet!

    Same weight and height but opposite shape-teeny tiny waist but huge hips and thighs.

    For those of you in a size 5 in the 150's - what is your bodyfat percentage? And if it's anywhere near mine (30% or so) where are you carrying your weight? Your arms? your fingers? Your face? lol I know it sounds weird but I'd only be a size 5 if I weighed 120 or so, IF that. I can't fathom wearing one at this weight!

    Also depends what brand of jeans you're talking about. :)

    Wow! I'm 5'2 and when I weighed 157 I was a 12/14. Bodies are wild.
