I know EVERYONE's shape is different, but I am just curious.. lets compare shall we??

I am 5'6 and currently 186 lbs.. I have always felt like my pant size is on the bigger size. I currently wear a size 16-18 depending on the brand or style.

I see people on tv, on weight loss shows and they seem SO much larger than me but the same size.. maybe I am just delusional when I look in the mirror haha...

What are you??

I am hoping that by losing the 40lbs I am looking to lose I can atleast get down into the single digits!!

    I am 5'6 and weigh between 120-123 any given day. My pants size on average is a 5. But in aeropostale I take a 4 and in American Eagle a 2!! very weird. It all depends on the brand.

    I know exactly what you mean! I weighed about 180 before my first pregnancy and I wore an 18. I have very wide hip bones and so I think I will always wear a bigger size than others at my weight. So, bone structure definitely plays a part :)

    I'm 5'4" and currently 203, and wear a 16. But the women from my family are a lot heavier than we look, lead bones or something, when I was 150 I was a size 8/9, and a medium/small shirt. Normally that would make someone overweight (at 5'4 and 150). I know I'm significantly stronger than most women, so maybe I've always had extra muscle? Sizes confuse me too!!!

    I hate pants sizes! You never know. I'm 5'5 and weigh 206, but I wear a size 14. The kicker is that back in high school, weighing only 130, I wore an 8. After graduete school 5 years ago, I weighed 180 and wore a 10. When people drop pants sizes I always know that this is not how it will go for me because my sizes seem random. I just go with how I look in things.

    i am 5'7 130lbs i wear a 3 typically but some brands i have to go to a 5. it just depends on who makes the jeans. i have noticed though that once you buy jeans and wear them a few times they conform to your body shape and alot of times the fit when i tried them on but after wearing them the are too big

    I am 5'5, when I was 97kilos I was 18-20 and now that I am 87 I am about a 16 for jeans or a 14 for trackies. It's weird :S People think that maybe my trackies are too tight but last time I wore 16 trackies they FELL down whilst I was doing jumping jacks! TO THE FLOOR! NO JOKE lmao!!!!!

    This is australian sizing though so not sure if different at all? :S

    At 5'3", when I was at my heaviest (198) I was a size 16. Now I am 142-145 (depending on the day) and wear size 6 (though they are a little loose, so I am suspecting size 4 soon).
