    Just because you already said you are 150lbs and fit into a 10 I'd say you'd fit in a 4 for sure at 120. I'd make it more of a range if pant size is really your goal like 2-6. Or maybe measurements (measure your waistline, hips, etc and set a goal).

    I think measurements is the best way to see your progress, unless you only buy jeans from one manufacturer.

    Why do people obsess on a pant size? I don't care what size I wear, as long as I think I look good in the jeans. Besides, no one knows what size the jeans are but me. I mean, I don't wear my jean inside out, so the tag don't show.

    Because cuter styles come in smaller sizes. Sorry but not everyone likes wearing Wal-Mart, old navy, lee, etc brand of borderline fugly jeans.

    I agree with Mesha!!! :drinker:

    Oh, I see. I've always worn below a size 4.

    It all depends on your height, and secondarily on your fat to muscle ratio. 150 lbs and 9% body fat at 5'7"? Sure you could be a size 4. 150 lbs and 27% body fat? No. 27% body fat but 5'11" at 150 lbs? Sure you could be a size 4.

    I'm a size 2 and I am 111 lbs at 5'9". So if you're my height you could go with 120 at ~20% body fat.

    the size of the pelvis is also a major factor. Wide hips = less likely to fit into a size 4, regardless of body fat percentage.

    It depends on TONS of variables besides weight- muscle to fat ratio, height, hip width, how you carry your weight.....it's almost impossible to compare your size to someone elses.

    But to answer your question I wear a 2/4 in most pants and I'm 145 at 5'4"ish. But that means almost nothing.

    Just to further illustrate this point-- I'm 5'4" and a size 2/4 and I weigh 125.

    this is going to end well....

    The cuter jeans aren't just in size 4...I personally see a lot in 8, 6..etc..

    There are so many variables. I am 5'7" and I weigh 120. My jeans are a size 0 and my work pants are a 2. Some brands run small and I have to go up to a 4. Really depends.

    Something tells me that you make the jeans cute, not the other way around.

    You can't really go by weight, my goal was to get back to size 8, the last time I was that size I weighed around 150lbs, this time I got there at 165lbs. I did more circuit training type workouts than traditional cardio (running, walking, elliptical).

    I couldn't agree with you more! For so long I tried to keep wearing jeans from the 'Juniors' section. They still fit, but they did not flatter my body at all. I've had a kid. I have hips. Now I wear whatever size fits, and covers me when I bend over/squat down. Whatever the size, if it looks good and it's comfortable, I'm happy!

    Just buy a pair of jeans at Old Navy. They're notorious for having their sizes run big! A 10 in any other brand will be a 4 or 6 at Old Navy :-)

    lol... so true. Not only Old Navy but lots of other brands have this problem but amazingly the other way around.
    For example I weigh 61 kg & 170cm but I still cannot fit into a size XL top at Zara. Everywhere else I take large
    but at Zara there is no top for me.
