    I'm 5'4. When I was 230 I wore 18/20. Now at 209 I wear 14 but can fit into a 12 (tight). I really think it all depends on your shape.

    Back in highschool I wore a 7 and weighed about 145.

    Depends on how you carry your weight, brand, etc

    Anyway:

    5'4.5"
    171 lbs
    13-15* in Junior Jeans
    12 - 14* in womens jeans (possibly a 10 in some brands, but I haven't tried yet)
    Depends on brand. Went to walmart last month (176 lbs @ the time) and decided to try on some jeans. Was able to comfortably wear a size 12 in two different brands and a size 12 was pretty loose in another brand (compared the waist band to the previous 2 pairs of jeans and it was roughly 2" bigger)


    @ 218lbs I was wearing a 17 in Junior Jeans (slightly loose) and a 16 in womens (slightly tight)

    5'4" and 140. Junior 13 or women 10. I have a big booty ;P

    I prefer to wear skirts or dresses (leggings in the winter) because I HATE sizing and want to take advantage of the fact that girls can wear an entire outfit made of stretchy material and look totally cute and even professional. :P

    I'm 5.4 and weigh 160 and I am just back into my 12's but it really depends on the shop - plus I carry most of my weight on my chest ! When I get down to about 145 I find myself back in 10's - UK sizes

    I'm 5ft 3 (and a half!) and sadly a size 18-20 trouser size :( and about 220 pounds.

    I managed to get down to about 200 pounds last year but out back on again, then I was a smaller 18 some larger 16's.

    It sucks to be short!

    I'm 5'5" and 140- I wear a size 2, 4 or 6 (depends on brand, etc.- mostly size 4). When I was in high school and weighed 140 I was in a size 9.

    The difference now is (starting at 160) I lost 30~ish pounds, and put some weight back on by lifting. It all depends on body composition

    I can relate. I'm 5'5" and 143 and currently wear a US size 6. In high school I was 135 and wore a size 9. More recently in fact at my heaviest I was 168 and still managed to squeeze into a size 10/12. However I had no strength or muscle definition and was very squishy. I've lost about 25 pounds now. The difference as you said is body composition. I exercise now and back then I did not. I think it makes a difference.

    I'm 5'3" and at 173 pounds I wear a size 18 UK so, I think a US 16. I'm carrying a lot of excess weight in my tummy and naturally have bulky legs and a big backside plus wide hips. I also like my jeans a bit longer so don't buy petite.

    Depends how your body is made up really. I started this time round at 167lbs and was wearing (UK) 16. Previously around this weight I could fit comfortably in a 14.

    I got down to 150 a couple of years ago and could fit in some size 10 jeans (still size 12 tops)

    Currently I'm 114lbs and wearing size 10

    I am 5' 4" and weigh 177 pounds. Size 12 feel a little tight, 14 a little big! At my starting weight of 189 I had to pour myself into my 14 and was probably a size 16, I just couldn't go out and buy them. Sizes have so changed since I was a kid, manufactures have changed the labeling to make us feel better about the number on our pants. I am trying to take my goal off that number and put it more on my body fat but after 35 years of judging how I look by the size I wear it will be tough, haha!

    5' 3" now 146lbs (woop!) Just jumped into my size 8 jeans with no muffin top!
    8 weeks ago I was 168 and squeezing into a size 12-14
    A note on body composition- my thighs have shrunk a bit so my rear looks better in the 8's :wink:

    I am 5ft 4in, weigh 222 and wear a size 20 to 22 jean. I have seen posts by others and they are heavier than me but wearing a smaller jean size. I just keep telling myself "they must be tall".

    So if you are right around my height, what is your weight and jean size? Just curious. Thanks.
    I know what you mean - i've seen people around my height/weight who are size 16, while i barely fit into 22s...

    anyway, I am 5.2 or 5.3 (i think 5.2). i started at 233 and i was size 22-24, between 2x and 3x

    i lost 19 lbs, so now i'm about 214 and i am *almost* fitting into size 18s (as in i can barely close them but i can't breathe). my 3xs are all falling off/too baggy, most of my 2xs are too big.

    5' 4 1/2" - in my 20 and 30's (age) I weighed 120 and wore a size 8. I am now 161lbs and wear a size 8. Barely! My weight is in my tummy, so, a size 10 doesn't squeeze the muffin out. LOL. I was down to 150 this spring and the 8 fit wonderfully!!! Trying to get back down to that size. My doctor wants me to get to 135lbs. Not sure if I'll ever make it, but felt really good at 150. I think we have come to an agreement that I will get down to 145 and we'll see after that. :)
    It seems to me that most of the girls wear about the same size at 135-140 and 5' 4. But, we all carry our weight in different places depending on how we exercise. (Maybe?) Anyway, make sure you are losing weight for yourself and not so you can get into the size someone else is at your height. Its all about you, girl!! Make yourself happy and you'll reach that goal! Good Luck!
    P.S. At 197lbs, I wore a size 16/18.
