    I'm 5'4".
    At my heaviest I was nearly 160 and wore a size 8 or 10 pants. Now I'm about 133 and wear a 4 or a 6 depending on the brand.

    It's frustrating that different stores size their clothes differently, so it's especially important not to put too much weight or importance on size--when clothes make you look your very best, who cares what size they are?!?!

    These threads are pointless and remind me of junior high.

    Sizes vary too much to "compare". I wear a size 20 - 28, depending on the brand and store. For someone to say they weigh 309 and wear a size 20 means nothing to me since they're probably a 28 at another store. It's silly. Why do this to each other? Why compare?

    Because it helps to know what size you will be in once you reach a certain weight, it also helps you see that the scale does not matter much at all ..... your size in clothing does matter. It also helps determine LBM and bodyfat % and how that is much more important than weight If you weight less than others yet wear bigger clothing than you should look at your bodyfat %, you need to be building up lean mass rather than worrying about the scale

    There may be a difference in sizes from one store to the next but rarely is it more than a size or two

    Just signed up with the site!

    Height: 5.4 1/2

    I am a hourglass with a slightly larger bottom half, and a big pooch.

    When I was skinnier two years ago:

    155 I was size 8-9
    170 I was size 10-11
    185 I was size 12
    195 I was size 14
    Now at 210 I am probably an 18, but I am wearing size 16. They are tight, but I am not buying any larger pants! >:(

    Just to let anyone else who's 5'3 know, if you go by the comics, then we're the same height as Wolverine.

    My defence when I get called short.

    Also, I'm a UK size 12 at the minute, 165 lbs.

    I am 5' 5". Current weight is 155. My jean size fluctuates. Levis I wear size 12. In Matrices brand (my fav because they fit my curves better) I wear a 9-10.

    Actually, I bought my current jeans when I was 10 lbs lighter. They are snug, and some days I have to use a hair band to hold the botton snap together.

    5'5" I'm only down 9lb from my starting weight of 267 and so still wear same size pants = 18 mostly but sometimes 20 depending on brand.

    This is an interesting thread to me though, I've seen a lot of people post their weights and pants size and they could weigh less than me but wear bigger pants. I know that everyone is made differently, but still interesting.

    It's fairly unimportant, just because sizes are so inconsistent. I'm currently 119 pounds and in a junior's size 7. When I was in junior high (and didn't even have hips), I couldn't squeeze my *kitten* into a size 9 to save my life.

    I'm in a size 2 and 4 depending on the style at Eddie Bauer.... And a size 6 Levi's. Oh pants. Why can't we be consistent?!
