What size were you and how much did you weigh?
I am 5'2 and weigh 180 and wear a 13 in juniors and a 14 in women's. I wear both juniors and women's. Juniors fit me better because of how I'm shaped. What size were you at which weight? I want to know approximately how much I would have to weigh to get into certain pant sizes. Go from a size 0 to a size 14 if you can please. For example:

Size 0/00 : 100 pounds.
Size 1/2 : 105 pounds.
Size 3/4 : 110 pounds.
Etc.
Whatever it was for you. Thank you!

    I am 5'8" and started out very large so probably won't be of much help to you at all...but for the sake of data, here goes

    307 lb I wore mostly size 22 and 3X. Some jeans I needed size 24.
    270 lb I wore size 22 and 2X. Could rarely get into a 20 ever. Went from 22 to 18.
    235 lb I wore size 18 and 1X.
    200 lb I wore size 16 and 1X.
    190 lb I wore size 14 and XL.
    180 lb I wore size 12 or juniors 13 and L or XL.
    Right now I weigh 169 lb and wear size 10 or juniors 11, and M or L depending on the style and brand.

    I'm 5'8" and started out 172lbs and size 12. Now 160lbs and between 8/10/12's. I like certain jeans and pants to be big so it's nice to not have to donate the bigger stuff. If I reach my goal weight of 145, that may change.

    5'6", 194 pounds, and I bought two pairs of size 16 jeans today for work. This is from 248 and size 22. Tops I've gone from 2X to XL.

    Don't focus on this weight being this size. Body type also plays a huge factor. Someone at your height and weight could wear two sizes larger than you due to how they carry the weight.

    I'm 5'6" and currently at 150 pounds - size 8.

    Basically every 10 pounds I go up or down a size:

    160 - size 10
    170 - size 12
    180 - size 14
    190 - size 16

    okay so i'll give you two breakdowns. one is when i had less muscle mass. i am 5'5" now.

    first (less muscle mass):

    180 size 14
    155 size 12
    145 size 10
    135-140ish size 8

    more recently (lots of muscle mass):

    235 size 20
    220 size 18
    200 sizes 14-16 *started putting on the muscle mass @ this point
    185 size 12
    175 size 10
    165ish size 8 ( I am currently about 170, having a hard time making anything fit since my quads are big from powerlifting and my waist is proportionally small--size 12/14 thighs, size 8-10 waist, wear a medium in exercise shorts & bottoms that are loose on thighs & generally a large or medium in shirts).

    Are you exercising? If so that will make all of this irrelevant. For example, before I started working out, my highest weight was 191 and I took a 16-18. I am 5'4.5". Now, I got up to 198, and was still at 12-14 because I have been exercising. There is a lot more than weight to consider.

    As kelly_e_montana's experience shows, an individual's LBM is going to show you that all sorts of people can weigh the same, yet wear very different pant sizes.

    I'm 5'6", ~136/138 lbs, not sure on pants size, as I'm drowning in my too big pants until I can replenish my wardrobe--27 waist, 36 hips--whatever size pants that is, maybe a 4?

    You should probably ask about waist and hip measurements not just weight because people can be shaped pretty differently at the same weight.

    I'm 5'4".
    My starting weight was 179 lbs. I was an apple shape. My waist was 40.5" and my hips were 40" at that weight. I started buying stretchy or maternity pants several years ago because my hips were in a much smaller clothing size than my waist. I usually wore women's size M or a size 8-10 maternity pants at that weight. If I wore regular pants, I would have had to wear something like a women's size 16 or 18 for my waist and they would have been super baggy in the butt, hips and legs on me. Horrible.
    At 168 lbs my waist is 2 3/4" smaller and my hips are 1 1/2" smaller than at my starting weight. I'm still wearing the same pants comfortably because I bought pants that fit my hip size. I expect to be able to wear these same stretchy/maternity pants a long time because I don't expect my hips to get too much smaller.

    Wow I don't know where some people on here buy their clothes. Vanity sizes are here. When I was in high school 30 years ago I weighed 117 and I wore a size 7.
    I still can't get into anything smaller than a 14 in jeans right now and I weigh 156. In pants (maybe because they are not as stiff as jeans) I can get into a 12. I have a small frame and a fairly small waist - I'm a pear shape. I can fit a 12 over my hips in jeans but I can't button them, so I know it's not my hips and thighs.
    Size is just a number and boy have they changed over the years.

    I am 5" .5". I started at 199 lbs and was in a snug size 16.

    I am now at 141.4 and my size 12 jeans are getting pretty loose. I could probably go to a 10 now.

    I do agree about sizes changing. I weighed 170 lb back in 1989 (LOL) when I was 13 and at that time, I needed a size 14. Now at basically the same weight, 169 lb, I can wear a 10 pants or jeans almost anywhere unless it's unusually low rise.

    Although maybe you should try some different brands and cuts, perhaps. 14 at 156 lb seems a little unusual compared to all of the other responses in this thread and others. Not saying cave to the vanity sizing, but I bet you would find other sizes that work for you because of the cut.
