    Absolutely agreed! I've been in maternity clothes for the last 3 years having 2 babies in a row. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight and went shopping to update my wardrobe. All the stuff I bought in my old sizes were HUGE. I held them up against older items of the same brand/size and they appeared 2-3 sizes bigger. I did this with items from Express, Target and Old Navy. I've gone from a size 16 to 12 or 10 in pants and an XL to L shirt!

    I am 5'7 1/2" and weight 140 lbs. I wear a size 4 dress, size 6 or 8 pants (depending on the brand) and a small top. I used to weight about the same 4 years ago but everything was a size 8 then. I have toned up a lot and found that it totally depends on what I am eating and how much I am lifting.

    Additionally, I think it also depends on your build. When I was a size 4 pant I didn't look that good cause I have a larger build.

    I'm 6 feet and 200 lbs. I just had to go to a size 16 (which is why I am now a MTP member). Even when I was playing college volleyball and in great shape I was still in a 11/12. I have a pear shape, which I guess means I will always have a larger pant size lol. It's interesting to see all the different shapes and sizes women of similar weight can be.

    5'7" and wear close to a size 14 right now- even though last year at the same weight (around 185) I wore a size 10/12! My super-pear shape has caught up with me- I measure 35" around the underbust and 47" around the hips! EEK!

    5'10, currently at 212 lbs. Wearing a loose 14, fitted 12.

    My goal is to drop down to 170 lbs. I can't even say what size I'll be then, smaller than what I am now for certain. :)
