I'm currently 179lbs and size 13 juniors. 14 women's. And I want to be 11j/12w. How much did you weigh at 11/12?

    It depends on more than weight. Height and BF% plays a role, too. Since fat loss comes down to genetics, it's impossible to say where you'll lose from as you lose weight. Just lose at a moderate pace, pick up some form of resistance training if possible to retain muscle and have patience. I'm 5'3.5" and I was around 150 lbs at size 11. Also, brand of jeans makes a huge difference. Vanity sizing for women's jeans makes it impossible to be just one size depending on brand.

    I'm 5'4" and 54 years old so it might be different for you. :) If I remember correctly, I weighed about 150-155lbs when I wore a 12.

    For reference, I'm now 137lbs and wear an 8.

    (I'm in Canada - our sizes differ from the USA - I wear a 6 when I buy clothes there)

    This is going to depend on so many things, including height, muscle tone, genetics, pelvic width, clothing store/designer, etc.

    I'm 5'8" and size 12 is loose on me now. I'm 175 pounds.

    I am 5'3" 172 and a size 11 in juniors and a 9 in womens depending on the brand. I have always carried my weight well and have very large breasts though. Even when I was 198, I was only a size 13/15

    I am 179 lb right now at 5'8" and all my pants are 12 except for a couple juniors 11 & 13. My dresses with numeric sizing are 12 and 14.

    Also, I want to point out that even though I'm a size 12 in US womens, I don't think I've ever fit into a size 11 US juniors. The sizing just isn't that similar for some people.

    I was size 12 when I was around 160. Sure, not as high a weight as others, but I carried all my weight in my butt and thighs. I'm 5'7".

    I am 196 5'2 and am in a comfortable size 14. I usually have to lose 20-25 pounds to move sizes, so for me a 12 would be about 170 ish. Thats my goal and a 12 is my goal size!!!! :)

    It is so crazy how body composition varies from person to person. I am the same height, and I am a size 6 or 8 depending on if the clothing runs big or small at 160. This is why I rarely order clothes online. It is difficult estimate size from height and weight charts.

    I'm 5'8" at 165 in a 12 (Levi's) and have been since I hit 175.
    I think that even if I hit my goal of 155, I will still be in a 12, but much looser than they are now. At 175, they were pretty tight, but they stayed up (the problem I was having with my 14s). Now, they are still semi-tight on my butt and thighs, but not my waist.

    Really? I need to arrange an outlet shopping trip to Maine, ASAP!!! :happy:

    I was about 150 at a size 12, but I'm 134 now and a size 6. I'm looking to get back to 150, which will probably be a size 8, I imagine. It totally depends on your body fat percentage, etc.

    I'm 5'5" and wear a size 12 when I am 155-160. I don't wear smaller than a 10, no matter how little I weigh. 10 years ago, I weighed 130 and wore a size 10 and I looked really thin for my weight (I had a nurse weigh me and start at 115 back then).
