    I'm 5'5'', 185, and in a 12/14 and M/L top/dress depending on the store. I've noticed that (even when I was younger) I'm pretty dense. When I was last at my goal weight I wore anywhere from a 4-7 depending on the brand. I have pretty wide hips, so the smaller sizes either look funny or fit funny. We'll see in June if that's still the case ;)

    I am 5'4" and weight 139. At this moment, I am wearing 7/8 pants, and they are baggy. I'd be very happy in a 6.

    What is your goal weight at 5'3" - 5'5"? Just Curious? In the beginning, I thought my goal was 135, but now that I'm close to that, I see a lot more room for improvement.

    5'5"
    163
    I am pear shaped, with wide hips. Currently wearing 12-14 depending on the cut.

    When I get to goal, which is around 145, I should be able to wear a 10, but we will see. Regardless of what size I wear, I always have had a hard time finding slacks that fit me very well, so pants shopping is not fun!

    5'3" 121lbs. I wear a size 2, although my jeans from highschool that finally JUST fit are a size 4. Vanity sizing definitely exists!

    I read awhile back that some manufacturers are deliberately changing the sizes. They believe that if some customers try on their clothes (in a smaller than usual size) they'll be thrilled and buy. Just psychology!

    5'4" 200 lbs, i wear a size 16/18 depending. When I was around 160-170 I wore a size 10, sometimes 8.

    One thing you can do is look online at the size charts for various brands. You can use them to compare hip and waist measurements across brands to see which size would fit you best.

    I am 5'5 185 Size 12 Bottoms but xl Tops because my arms are big.
    I just started 2 days ago here - My goal weight is 135 and Hopefully it will put me at a size 7-8.

    Once i get there - I will determine if I need to go down a size or 3. The lowest I plan to go ever is size 5/ weight 125.

    My guess weight/size goals might be slightly off. When I was a size 8 I had only 2 kids. I have 4 now. I was a size 4 and weighed 115 lbs before I had any kids.

    I currently weigh in at 149 with a height of 5'4.5 and I am currently wearing a size 7 jeans US. Usually I wear size 8, the 7s I'm wearing right now are just my favorite.

    My goal is to be a size 4 at about 115-120. Previously I was 125 and I wore size 6 most of the time and some brands size 4.

    I'm about 5' 4.5" When I averaged 125-128 I had some 1s that fit even, but I usually wore a 5. Now at 145-150 I wear an 8ish most of the time. I carry a lot of my weight in my tummy, though, and I always have, so jeans don't really get affected by that.

    It all depends on the brand. I'm 5' 4.5" and 139lbs and I've got 4s, 6s, 8s and 10s and they all fit the same. It's very frustrating and it makes it hard to shop for pants.

    5'4" 160 - 12 to 14

    Try looking for jeans at "white house black market" I just got a nice and well fitted pair of black jeans there.

    I'm 5'4" ~ when I was 135 lbs I wore a US size 10 jeans, though I had a couple sized 8's.

    Now that I'm 35 lbs heavier I don't wear zippered/buttoned pants. I mostly wear elastic waist pants and around the house like a house dress :(

    I look forward to wearing jeans again! :)

    I'd love to be 135 but it's hard for me to maintain so my goal is 140 / 145.

    5'5.5" - 190.5 lbs - size 17

    I would always get frustrated when my size was gone - but I guess it goes to say there are more people in my size. I am not to fond of my size, but even at my lowest I think I was in a size 12 :cry:

    I'm 5'3", weigh 119lbs and wear a UK size 8. Sometimes I fit a UK size 6, other times a 10, but an 8 is usually the case! Not sure what that is in US sizes though...... a 4 maybe??

    OK, thank you for this! I am 5'5" (and a little bit) and currently 193 pounds, just yesterday wore a pair of size 12's. I can't fit into all of my size 12's, but all of my 14's are a little big.... I love that I wear my weight well, but also it sucks when people say "Oh you don't look that big" I am that big.... I am working hard and shrinking, but stop making me feel big! I am going to Vegas in October, and hope to be down to a 7/8 by then, and ultimately about a 5/6 Hoping to be about 150 by the time we go, and my end all be all is between 125-135 (depending on muscle/fitness level)

    Don't worry about the past- just focus on daily goals and you will get where you need to be. Consistency works every time!!
