Right now I weigh 130 and I can comfortably wear a size 7. I'm small and (normally) petite and my height is 5'0. However, even when I was smaller (105 lbs), the smallest pant size I could fit into was a 5, and that was really pushing it. Like you, I have very wide hips and a big bottom. Luckily most of my fat sits in my legs and butt so even with the amount of weight I've gained, it's not too noticeable around my waist.
I have a very obvious pear shape. For tops I usually wear xsmall-small, and my bra band measures 28 inches, and nobody ever carries bras that go that small! Especially because my breasts aren't itty bitty, so my bras tend to have to be custom fitted otherwise they are too big around the band and too small around the breast.
But big bottomed girls rock!
We do indeed - i used to hate it but not i think me personally id rather have a shape and curves than not - although i still want to get back to my former size 100 -
I'm 5'3"
When I was my heaviest (back in high school before I joined MFP), I was 170 at a size 12/13, I am currently now 140 at a size 6 roughly.0 -
I'm 5"4, 131lbs and I generally wear a size 6-8.
My heaviest was about 161, and I was wearing a size 10.0 -
This is very interesting to me. I get frustrated because I know what the scale says but that doesn't match my clothing size.
I am 5'5" and I weigh 207, but I wear some size 14 jeans and some 16's. I don't have a goal weight, but I want to get to a comfortable size 10. A few years ago, I was 170 and wore a 12, but also wore the same 14's I'm in now.0 -
Im 5'5" too, my body shape is an inverted triangle. So my shoulders are broad, which I HATE, and my hips are very small. I tend to carry weight in my stomach & arms.
My largest weight was 178 & I was in a size 12.
Current weight is 105 & im in a size 0.0 -

Vanity sizes are not what they were over a decade ago. I have a pair of express jeans that I wore (yes I'm dating myself) over a decade ago an are size 13/14. I fit in them now but have a bit of muffin top so I cannot wear them comfortably. It comparable to a size 10 or 12 in todays sizes depending on the brand. I'm wearing current size L from express, yet some XL work shirts from banana republic/gap that are a over a decade are tight. /shrug0 -
im 5'6.5 and 165-168 in a size 12 and i feel like i can never lose pant sizes its so frustrating0

Yep. I'm a man, but vanity sizing is rampant in our clothing too. I kept a couple pair of jeans from back in the late 90s. I use them as my measuring points, as my goal is to go lighter than I was at my lightest weight back in my late teens. They are size 36 Gap and Ralph Lauren jeans, but they would be sold today in many stores as a size 33/34. The only way I can even get a nice, non-baggy fitting pair of 36s today is to buy them in the skinny jean variety. Otherwise today's size 36 swallows yesterday's 36.0 -
I'm 5'7'', started 3 years ago at 307lbs and a size 24, 3x top. Currently down to 192lbs and 12/14 pant, Large Top. My thighs and butt are going to be the death of me, I would be estatic if I ever see a size 10 pant0

I'm 5'9", and started out at a 28/30 (though let's be honest - 30). I'm currently down 40 lbs and depending on manufacturer/material anywhere from a 22 to a 26, though the 26's are finally starting to be too big. Losing weight on my hips last, but it's finally, finally budging. Clothes are fitting me very oddly because I don't lose weight uniformly. I honestly wear a lot of XXL maternity to fit my stomach/hips and my chest. Sigh. But if I keep this up, eventually I'll be down into regular store sizes and that'll be an exciting day.0

I am 5'7" and currently weigh 195 lbs. My starting weight was 260 lbs and I was in a 2X / 20W. I currently wear a size 14 jeans/pants, but a 16 or 18 / XL top. I am very top heavy even after losing 65 lbs. The boobies deflated a little but they are still there.0

I vary in size a bit but I'm 137 and my measurements are 35 26 36 (I'm also 5'7ft)0
-
I'm 5'5" and weigh 125 lbs. I wear a size 2 jeans because of my legs--I'm a runner and swimmer, but the waist is usually too big.0
-
I'm 5'1' - 147lbs.
When I started I was about 210 - Size 18
Now - Size 6 or 8 depending on the brand. Tops are a size small or medium, again depending on brand and style.
Interesting to me, is that 20 years ago, when I was the same weight, I was wearing a snug size 14.0 -
I'm 5'6, 157 lbs and I'm on the small side of 10. Jeans are a little loose, but not enough to go size 8. I have one pair that ARE size 8 and fit but it's because they are a roomy cut. At my biggest, I was 223 and I'll say size 16 but at some point I just started wearing my husband's clothes instead of buying anything bigger, so who knows really?!?0

I've always been more concerned about size over weight. I'm 5'3.5", currently weigh 267. When I graduated high school, I weighed 155 (at 5'4" tall), but wore a size 9/10. My current goal is to get back down into the 'teens out of the 20's sizes. Long term goal is to get to around 160, which should put me into a 12 or 14. Because of my DDD bust, wide hips, and thunder thighs (which I had even wearing size 9/10), I'm not ever going to be smaller than a 12, at best, and I'm fine with that.0

I am 5'2" and weigh 138. I am pretty muscular and no one ever believes I weight 138. I wear a 4 in bottoms and a medium top. I usually have to wear a 6 or 8 in dresses that zip because I am busty and thick through the ribs.0
-
5'3 - weigh 227 - size 16. When I was closer to 200 I was wearing a 14. Can't wait to get back down to the 14's and then keep going down!!0
