    I'm 5'7" tall and weigh 134 to 137 lbs (depending on what day it is). I wear 2's and 4's in jeans and S shirts (and the occasional really small fitting M shirt). Some of the 2's are getting a little loose, but I do a lot of circuit/strength training.

    I am 27yo 5'6"

    SW: 275lbs size 24-26 jeans

    CW: 149lbs size 4-6 jeans

    If I buy junior sizes ( which is rare due to the lack of consideration for curves) I wear a 9.

    Wow!! Thanks everyone for responding!! In encouraging news, I lost two pounds at my weigh in today, so that's two pounds closer to skinnier pants!! :happy:

    It took me a while to drop even one pant size. But after that, it seemed to go faster. I started at 201 in a size 16 (tight) and I didn't drop out of that until I hit around 185. What's weird is that I had a pair of jeans that I could wear all the way from 201 to 170 pounds! I finally retired them. I'm now 168 and wearing a size 12 (petite). I think the smaller you are, the less pounds it takes to go from one size to the next. I think I'll be in size 10s in another 10 pounds.

    are you taking your measurements and your weight on a regular basis. If you are loosing pounds but not inches I have read that you need to get more protien :)

    I'm 6' and 203 right now. I wear size 8-10 currently in pants. I'd estimate 90% of my extra weight is in my trunk though, and need XL tops usually. I started at a size 18, weight 269 in 2009.

    I'm 5'7 and currently weigh 155 lbs. I was 192 at my heaviest and wore size 16-18 Now I fit into a size 10-12 (depending on the brand) skinny jeans. I'm at my clothing size (not weight) goal, but I'd like to lose a bit more fat and put on a bit more lean muscle.

    I am 5'2 195. I have been a damn 16 for 25 lbs now. It's really frustrating!! I have a pair of 14 skinny jeans, that BARELY fit.. so I don;t wear them anywhere yet.

    It's annoying that I have lost just about 50 lbs, and only went down two jean sizes...it's pretty odd if you ask me..

    I totally understand how you feel. It's a LOT about your natural body shape. I am trying to lose about 25 pounds right now, I wear a size 10, but a lot of my friends weigh more than me, but wear a smaller size. My goal is to get to 130 pounds and when I have been that weight before I wear an 8. I know people that weigh 130 and wear a 4 or 6. It's all about your body shape. I'm definitely "bottom heavy". It's frustrating, but it is what it is.........

    I've lost a little over 70 lbs and went from a size 44 with the "secret fat guy elastic sliding waistband" maxed out, to a comfortable to loose 40 waist. So I'd say 3 or 4 pant sizes. I know you;re looking for a woman's perspective, but I thought I'd share.

    I am 5'9, 175lbs and wear a US size 12/14 pants. M/L shirts. Most of my pants have a loose waist and the legs/butt are tight. I've lost 15 lbs before and was still in the same size pants. Dont know what it is!

    I still haven't figured out what pant size I am. Size 0 usually fits in the waist but it's skin-tight in the thighs and butt (if I can even get them past the thighs and butt). If I go up to a 2 there's a huge gap in the waist. I'm trying to learn tailoring so I can cinch the waist and stick to size 2, but it would be nice if I could just buy them off the rack that way. I'm petite as well, so I have to hem my pants unless I'm able to find a petite size that fits (sometimes even then they're too long). I'm 5'2" and about 110lbs. Usually I just wear skirts or leggings because they're easier. :)

    Im 183, and I wear a loose 16. I have a lot of loose stomache skin, so that may be why

    Just wondering how much everyone weighs and what pant size you wear. I've lost just over 30 pounds and am still in the same pant size. Now I am aware that my pant were getting really tight when I was at my heaviest but still!!

    I'm just under 5'6'' weigh 204 pounds and wear size 18

    I am 5'5" 238 pounds and I am in a snug 18. I got down to 223 and my 18's were loose... hoping that happens again but I have been in 18's pretty much from 260 all the way down to 223.

    Sizes are so bloody tricky.

    I'm 5'3", 160 and am currently in a size 12 pant. Size 10 is close to fitting, but not quite yet. That being said, at my highest weight (196) I was wearing 14s. So that's a 36 pound drop with only one real size change.

    I'm 5'2"
    SW - 206; size 16/18 (most tight)
    CW-180(ish); size 14 (comfortable)

    I'd love skinny pants too, but the genetic disfugurement in my family are those awful "saddle bags"...so, I doubt I'll ever wear skinny pants!

    My goal is a size 10 pant!!

    It's VERY much an individualized process. I've lost 73 lbs and have only gone down 3 pants sizes. There are people that lose half of that and go down 4 or 5 sizes! It was almost 40 lbs before I HAD to buy a size smaller.

    Starting weight: 151; Pants size 12
    Current weight: 126; Pants size 6
    I am only 4'11 1/2", so any change in weight seems to make a big difference.

    SW - 178 - Extremely tight size 13 juniors to the point I pretty much lived in leggins bc I refused to go up another size
    CW - 150 - comfortable size 9 juniors or size 8 womans for the most part, sometimes 10's
    Goal is a comfortable 6/7

    oh and I'm 5'1" pretty even hourglass figure

    I weigh 179 at 5'5. i lost 17lbs and several inches. My size 16 pants are much looser. My size 14 pants are a bit looser. I lost a lot of weight from my hips and butt. I have plenty of weight still left in my stomach. I think that is why I haven't dropped down to a size 12.
