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 :)

    wow! don't you just feel like some stores make their sizes more to your liking so you will shop there more!? I mean if one store said I was a 2 I would never leave haha

    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).

    Before I had my daughter I weighed 121 lbs and wore a size 10 in jeans. To me a size 10 is BIG for only weighing 121 lbs but I am all hips/butt/thighs. I know plenty of people in that weight range and they wear like a 5 or less. It just depends on where you cary your weight. I am now 20 lbs heavier and only went up one size (12). So I don't think the size of your jeans matters, we are all different shapes.

    I've always looked skinnier than I actually am, some nurse once said 'You hold your weight really well'
    My scale said 207 this morning, I'm 5'7" and my size 16s are starting to feel loose on me.

    In high school I was about 180 and I wore size 13.

    I wear size 4 or 27" jeans but sometimes it can get tight depending on the brand and the fitting because I'm a bit on the pear side

    I am 5'8 and I currently wear a 16, I can fit in my 14's but they don't button very well LOL

    my goal is a 10 (i used to be a 5 before my kids but there is no way I can get back to that my body has changed too much)

    I am 5'7" and pear shaped. ALL of my weight is in my hips/thighs/butt.

    Started MFP at 175 pounds and size 14.

    Currently 150 pounds and size 10, though they are getting a wee bit loose. I don't see myself going below a size 8 when I get to my goal weight of 145.

    For giggles [or not so much], I just tried on my size 10 AE jeans... yaaah, barely fit past my knee. DAMN.

    I'm 5ft 6.5 and currently 172lbs and wear a size 14 top and bottom (UK)
    I have never been under a size 12 and that was even at 145lbs so I think it definitely depends on your shape.
    At my skinniest I was 35/25/34 and a size 12. Don't even know what my stats are now!!

    Hope it helps :)
