    What is the deal with Old Navy? I'm 5'3" and 115, usually wear 0-2 or XS. Yes, I shop at Old Navy and Gap, but need the same sizes if I go to Walmart or Target. Sometimes, I go for junior's (maybe JC Penney or similar) and need 3-5. Target stuff usually doesn't fit, though. Their XS tops are too big, and the pants are made too skinny in the lower leg (I have muscles). I do have a cute dress from Target, size XS. It might be junior's, not sure.

    It's so interesting to read this...

    I'm 5'2''
    180 lbs

    Size 10 bottoms, 12 if it's a formal pant. M-L top depending on the cut.

    My butt and legs are probably the same as they were pre-babies. I'm carrying an extra 40 pounds that feels it is all in my belly, back and arms.

    I think my pants fit because my tummy is so squishy it just folds into itself.

    I'm at least 15 pounds heavier now than the last time I wore my 10's....

    It's all so bizarre.

    It's amazing how everyone carries their weight so differently. I'm 5' 2.5", 184 lbs this morning (thank you regain!). I'm 46-35-43 & am in that awkward stage where my 16's are now too big & I can fit into my 14's, but I squish a little over the top. I have to wear form fitting shirts (XL of course due to the girls) or I just look like a shapeless blob. I prefer not to have any muffin top showing, so right now I'm just tugging my pants up every time I stand up. Even when I was at my preferred weight of 150 lbs last year, I was still wearing a 12 in jeans & XL tops (my chest doesn't really go away).

    Last time I was 150 I was a size 8! So funny how that all works. And I can't say it's muscle as I've not lifted in 15 years!

    In to hear what the deal is with Old Navy, and also to say that I find Target clothes kinda strange. They don't fit me. What is up with that?

    I like reading all the stats, but it can set up some negative comparisons (personally)... I really hate my gut area. I almost wonder if it's genetic - my aunts all had thick middles. I work out with resistance bands & light weights, starting to add very light running... need to get a barbell to lift or something. Deathly afraid of injury (history of back injuries) and way too timid for a gym.

    I think I have definitely decided from reading this that clothing size tells you nothing about how thin someone is, because height and where you put that weight - plus how tight you like to wear your clothes and how stretchy they are - seems to make a huge difference.

    One of my sisters is much taller than me (and I'm 5'10") and outweighs me by 100 pounds. But she wears clothes the same size - they just fit like they're sprayed on. Another sister her size wears clothes much much larger.

    That raises a good point: some people like their clothing tight, and others like it looser.

    And, yeah, sizing isn't standardized and all over the place, so... ultimately it's just a range.

    I'd also like to know about Old Navy. I wear the same sizes there that I do everywhere else, but I ALWAYS hear about ON "vanity sizing" like crazy. I've also heard someone say one time that Old Navy was "the fat ladies version of Gap" and I wanted to slap them!!!

    5'4.5"
    123.1 lbs (trendweight/ 121.5 lbs low weight)
    US 2-4 depending on brand and/or cut

    If I had to guess, I have a medium to large frame.
    I have a 27" waist and 37" hips. My hip bones stick out, so I'm sure that measurement can't get any smaller.

    5'1.5", 120 lbs., 36-27-36. Size 4-6 pants, but sometimes 8 or larger top (or a medium) due to big shoulders and broad back.

    5'6'' - 135 35/28/37

    Size 6 in most brands Banana Republic, J Crew, Gap etc. Size 28 in jeans.

    I'm pear/apple shaped and my lower stomach has always been a problem area. It has definitely improved a ton since I started weight lifting last year.
