    I'm 5'4", currently weigh 150 lbs and wear a size 8 or 10 in jeans. I think I'm probably the same size in dresses, but haven't tried one on in awhile. :)

    I am also 5'4". I weigh 125 and take a size 8-10 jeans ...... which is ridiculously loose at the waist and still tight at the thighs.

    I'm currently 115lbs, 5' 2" and wear a US size 0-2 - although I have to say that clothing size varies too much here and then theres the whole misses vs juniors thing! I do wear some juniors sizes and I am a 3-5 in those. I just bought a suit from Express and the pants were size 0, the jacket was size 2 and a shirt that I bought was an XS.

    At my highest weight I was 148lbs and was between a 4 and 6 and didnt even look at juniors!

    5' 4"

    Healthiest weight - 135 lbs. - Dress size: 14
    Current weight - 167 - Dress size: 14

    Why the same? Big boobs that don't change all that much with weight.
    Difference? At 135 I got all of my shirts and dresses tailored to show that I had a waist. Currently, I can wear them "off the rack".

    I am 5'6" and 153 pounds and wear a size 8 pretty comfortably. At my highest I was 195 pounds and was a size 14. I never bought size 14 clothes, I just stuck with leggings and dresses because nothing fit and I didn't want to be plus sized....

    I guess size is more related to body type vs weight ... I am an apple shape 5'8"' and at 198 was in an 18 jean .. currently 162 and in a 12 .. once I hit oal I will be in a 8 to 10 ... biggest issue with me is how to loose my middle to get a smaller waist ..

    I'm 5'6" and at 252.5 I wore 18/20's

    Now I'm at 203 and I wear 12/14's (12s are tight and 14s are loose) I am an apple shape with a big waist! Legs butt and top are not so large! LOL

    I think when I get to 150 I should be in an 8. At my lowest adult weight (138) I wore a size 6 very nicely!

    I am 165 and wear a size 14 (though they are getting loose now). Before kids I was 150 and wore some 10s but mostly 12s. But then you have my mom who is in low 140s and still has to wear 12s. Edited to add I am 5'4"

    Around 140, 5'5, makes me:
    Size 8 in pants/shorts
    Size 8 or 6 (sometimes) in skirts
    Size 10 or 12 in shirts (depending on the cut)
    Size 10 in dresses

    Before MFP, I was a 10 in pants. Now my work pants from 3 years ago (skinny little black things) fit again.

    BUT...my lovely Lucky jeans are toooo big. And just when I donated all of my old pairs that I never thought would fit again...

    This is strange! I was wearing a size 18 jeans. Since I had lost some weight, I decided to try a size 16. One size 16 was WAY too small, and the next one was too big. I settled for a pair of guy's jeans size 36/30. What does that say about me?

    By the way, I rarely wear dresses.

    5'6", currently 152 pounds and wearing a size 8/Medium (Canadian sizes) in most things. I'm leaning more toward an 8/10 right now, I would like to be a 6/8!!

    My jean size right now... a size 30 is a bit on the tight side, 32 is a bit loose. I have a pair of 28's in my closet waiting to be worn again!!!!

    Very cool to see how varied people can be with their weight/sizes!

    I'm 5'4" and definitely carry a lot of weight in my waist and not much in my hips or bust (I'm an apple!).

    250 lbs - size 24/3X
    235 lbs - size 20/2X
    225 lbs - size 18/1X or 2X depending on cut

    I just bought some size 16 pants--they go on (and I can breathe) but have a nasty muffin top. They are Goal Pants. I'm expecting they'll fit in another 5-10 lbs (I had a coupon). All of my weight loss so far has been in my stomach which is why I've dropped sizes so quickly. Before, clothes would fit in the waist but be loose in the butt, hips, and bust so I'd have to wear a larger size. Now stuff is starting to fit evenly as my massive belly vanishes.

    I'm 5'9, 156, and a size 6... at 145 I'm a size 4

    You and I are the same height, but at 145 I am a solid 6 and at 156 more like an 8/10! So body type really does matter. I have wider hips and chest (they are the same measurement 36").

    I'm 5'4, 165 lbs. and am in a size 10/12 in pants (haven't really tried on any dresses recently)... I'm hesitant to say the solid "10" because I haven't really been to the store and tried on any, lol, but I do have a size 10 in my closet and it fits, lol.

    I am 188lbs right now and wear about a size 18. I haven't bought any new clothes except for stretchy, sweat pant type clothes in so long that I am not even sure.

    Oh, and I am 4'11.5" tall!:bigsmile:

    You've got half an inch on me :bigsmile:

    I'm 4'11" and 184 lbs. I wear a size 16 from Old Navy. However, they only fit in the waist. They are HUGE through the butt, hips and legs. Old Navy's "Skinny" jeans are more like bloomy trousers on me, but they fit in the waist. This is a massive annoyance.

    At my thinnest of 120 lbs back in the Dark Ages, I wore a size 4 from Old Navy.

    Skinny jeans had not been invented yet. :laugh:

    Wow! Height and Body Type make such a difference!! At my highest weight of 230-235 I believe I wore 22. Now at 140-144 I fit comfortably into size 8 and some stretchy size 6. I'm 5'2" and bottom heavy, but I still have some muffin top too! :(

    I am 173, 5'7" and seem to be between size 10-12.

    At my highest, I was 225 and wore 16-18.
