    Hi I think its hard to compare since the sizes are so different in the world but nevertheless, interesting. I am about 5´5 (167cm). I weigh between 55-58kg (120+ LLBs?). My jeans size depends on the brand. But usually 25-26 inches waist, length 30 inches. My clothes are all xs-s or 30-36 (size 0-6). I can use my 10 y old sons clothes... Sometimes I buy xxs or triple xs. I realise that I wear really tiny clothes, but I think I look like a beached whale anyway.....

    I am 5'6" (so sorry 1" taller than required for this thread). I weigh 129.

    I think sizing is ridiculous and it ranges - and the US is completely different than the rest of the world. Our sizing is slightly changed to accommodate our population's larger sizes. So I am a anywhere in our crazy system from a 0-4, but in UK sizing I am a 4-8.

    Incidentally - around 30 years ago - our sizes were the same as the UK.

    Don't worry about the stupid number - it will drive you crazy trying to wear the same "smaller" size by every manufacturer. Wear what looks best and makes you feel best (but don't let it be baggy - that will make you look larger).

    To Razz02 - I find it hard to believe that you look like a "beached whale" - I am sure that you look absolutely lovely.

    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!

    We sound like twins. I am not sure what I weigh right now but I know at my goal (145ish) I wear a size 10 and a s/m top. I have wide hips too. Right now, I wear a size 12ish pants. However, 10 years ago when I weighed 100 lbs more, I was NOT a pear shape. I was just big all over. I wore a size 26/28 pants and I think a size 2X shirt. I have to buy petite pants and they are usually too big in the waist so they fit in the thighs:)

    Funny story, I walked into a Zumba class at my gym once and a lady came up to me and asked me where I got my hips/thighs. Kinda an awkward question since the last 8-10 lbs I need to lose are going to come off of them:) I immediately asked her where she got her chest:)

    I'm 5'3 and wear size 7 but now have love handles. Which is killing me, before my last baby, I was the same weight,118 and wore my 7s but no love handles. Even as a youngeon (I'm 36 now) but when I was 18, I was 5'3 and weighed 113 and still wore size 7's because of my wide stomach. BUt how do I get rid of these last 5 pounds,k and hope they come from my gut/waist

    I'm 5'2.5" and 125 lbs. Depending on brand, I wear anything from 3/4 to 6. I carry more weight in my lower body so I can wear XS tops.

    5'2" (too short, but thought I'd post anyway)
    Largest I've been 170lbs, pants size 16
    Smallest I've been 125lbs, pants size 10-12

    My hips are huge so I can't buy small pants. All I can do it buy pants that fit my hips and a variety of belts to cinch the waist.

    5'4" and 105 pounds. I usually wear a double zero. I actually have a problem with that because 10 years ago at the same weight I was a size 1 and 10 years before that I was a size 3. All at the same height and weight! Vanity sizing is out of control in the US.

    I'm 5'3.5 and I've got a pear shaped body.
    SW: 151 Ib Pants size was 8-10, Hips were 42
    CW: 139 Ib still a size 8, but my hips are 41 inches. I can squeeze into a size 6, but my stomach with stick out and I'll have a muffin top :/ not a good look.
    At my thinnest, 128 Ib, I wore a size 3-4 and my hips were about 37 inches.
    I can't wait to be a size 4 again.

    5'3 and at 196 I was a size 12; at 176 I am wearing a 10, but could likely make it into an 8. Crazy how much this all varies from person to person!

    5'5 - 130lbs (slightly heavier than my normal weight - 125)
    Pants size: 6 right now but usually 4
    Straight body shape
    Buying pants is a struggle. If the waist fits perfectly then it gets really tight around my calves (muscular), or if it's comfortable for my legs then the waist is too big and I have to wear a belt haha.
