    Stop worrying about a number on a little, tiny tag on your clothes. If they look good on you then that's the size you should wear. If you have a muffin top when you button your pants or they're sliding down your butt then that's the wrong size.

    The biggest factor is going to be body fat percentage. Two people who weigh 115 lbs could have very different body compositions. Someone who is more muscular is going to be of a smaller size than someone who still has some body fat.

    The other big factor is frame size. If someone has a larger frame they are not going to fit into a 0 or a 2 no matter how low their body fat percentage is. They might be able to get into a 4 if their body fat percentage goes lower than what is recommended for their gender, but that is not healthy.

    (Yes, there are some companies whose size 6 is going to be different than another company's size 6, but for this post I am talking about clothing sizes within the same company.)

    oh i just noticed you asked 3 or 5. yeah you could be either. i was 3 when I weighed 115 at your height for like ten minutes in high school.

    i also just noticed you are mackenzie. you were on my FL with another mackenzie name. you were eating too little and your body type might not make you so tiny when you diet b/c you were actually pretty well built as I recall. you had the best figure.

    try to forget about the number in your pants label. and try not to compare yourself with your friends. i knkow its hard but you have to break this habit NOW, for your own sake.

    Body composition matters too. Are you fat, lean or buffed?

    Is it just me, or does this sound like a very young person's question?

    she is very young as I recall. like 18 she claimed in the past.

    It honestly depends on your body shape/composition. When I was a teen and weighed around 120 lbs (no muscle!) I was a size 8, because I have a bigger butt. But I'd most always have to get my mom to take in the legs and hem them up so they'd fit me properly.

    First, like everyone says, pants size is highly variable and it shouldn't be a number you obsess over.

    Second, I am 5ft 1in and I weight 130. Body type is a huge part of what your pants size is. I am 100% pear-shaped. My thighs and butt are the biggest part of my body and my waist is really tiny and jeans are always loose at the top. Part of this is body type but also I have good thigh muscles. :^) While I wear an xs/s in all shirts, I wear a size 5 in boot cut jeans and a size 7 in skinny jeans from target.

    Working out makes a huge difference in how your clothes fit too!

    Good luck, don't give up. Keep at it!

    I have a friend who is about 5'4... 5'5 and is super skinny. 125lbs. She wears a size 0. I also have a friend who is like a 4'11, and 130 she wears a size 5. If I'm about 105-115 about what size do you think I could be? 3? 5?

    I know it's different for everyone, but I just kinda want an idea of what I could possibly be.

    I HATE being a size 12ish...

    I'm about 5'2 by the way
    i have to say that I find it hard to believe the 4'11" friend is a 5 at that weight

    I was 125lbs 5"4 wearing a size 2,3 and size 0 in some brands I think it has to do with the shape if your body and body fat percentage

    It depends on the person's height, build, age, etc. But, at 5'7 115-118 lbs I usually wear a size 2. Hope this helps :)
