    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.

    I'm the EXACT same way! I am 5'7" and started at near the same weight and was in a 14. I am now down to 166 and in a 12, can't wait until I'm at 150!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!! :)

    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
    See if there is a Chico's near you-a 10-12 is a size 2-2.5 there. :) Their clothing is also a little more generous in waist size so if you are like me and find you fit in a smaller size but the waist is tight (that's my situ) you might have success there.


    I'm 5'2" - at 165 I was a solid size 14. at 159 I was wavering between 10 and 12, mostly 12's. At 148 I'm a loose 10, 8's fit but the waist is usually snug. I even have one size 6p I bought by accident (hanger said 8p and they fit other than waist being tight). I love those pants :) I hope by 145 I'll be a solid size 8 as I have more clothes in this size.

    Right now I am 162lbs 5' 3", and wear a lose size 14, but just can't seem to get in to the 12s yet. Even at my smallest, 125lbs I wore about a 7. Must have wide hips. But the pants are always way to long! :)

    I am 5'3 and 186 also! My pant size is the same...a 16 or an 18...really depends on the brand. I've lost 14 pounds so far. I'm wearing a size 16 today and they are a little snug but I can breathe and sit and they aren't cutting off any criculation lol.

    I'm 5'6" and 166lb (most days..lol) and I wear anywhere from a 10 to a 12 depending on the brand. I think I have a few 9s that fit but I think they have to be large 9s.

    @jessisc: I have a 30" inseam and I think they make pants for amazons!

    While sizes brand to brand are more or less a crap shoot, inside a single brand it's all about waist size and hip size, not weight. I think if you compared your waist and hip measurements to others, you'll find less difference than comparing weights.

    I am 5' 6" and weigh ~133lbs. I wear a size 4 in most womens clothing and a size 7 in misses/juniors. Since having a child, I think that is the lowest I will be able to go regardless of waist size.

    I'm 5'6" 212lbs I am currently weariing sizes 16-20..but I really shouldn be wearing the 20's but when I was 135 in 9th grad I was weare an 8. other people on here weight 130 have said things like 4 and 6. Body shape and bone structure is a big deal.

    I am 5'5", weigh around 133lbs and wear a 27 or 28" jean, depending on the brand. That's about a UK 10. I can get into an 8, but would rather avoid the muffin top.

    I always think people on TV my weight look much smaller than me, even if they are a bigger clothes size. I really don't carry weight well.

    I'm 5'6" and weigh 137-141. I wear a size 6. When I weighed 170 I wore a size 10. I think some stores create "vanity" sizing, but I'm not complaining...

    I'm 5'8" and 218 and wear a size 18. A lot of it depends on how you're proportioned (bottom heavy) or how wide your hips are. You might be slender, but the wide hip bones would account for you needing a be a larger size.

    I'm less focused on what size I'm wearing and more focused on how healthy I've become by being a healthy weight and eating healthy.

    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.

    I'm the EXACT same way! I am 5'7" and started at near the same weight and was in a 14. I am now down to 166 and in a 12, can't wait until I'm at 150!!! GOOD FOR YOU!!! :)

    If you are like me, then the 12s will get loose around 160 pounds. Always something to look forward to!

    I am 5'10" with a large bone structure.

    At my heaviest (280), I was a 24W. After shedding over 100 pounds, I now weigh 178 and am in a Size 10. I don't want to get any smaller than this. I also went from an XXL shirt to a Small or occasionally Extra Small, from a 44F to a 34DDD or 36DD, and from a Size 20 dress to an 8, sometimes a 10, depending on whether it accomodates my boobs or not.
    My measurements are 40.5 Chest, 29 Waist, 39.5 Hips.

    I have a lot of muscle and am built like a farm girl. Lol. I am 5'5", 183-188lbs (depending on the time of day), I wear mostly 10's but some 12's fit, I have 24% body fat and a 34.5" waist.

    Here's how my sizing and weights were:
    252.8 I squeezed in to stretchy 18's but should have been in 20's.
    220.8 I still wore 18's but could actually wear a fitting shirt without a muffin top.
    210 I was a 16
    199 I was a 14
    191 I was a 12
    183 I am a 10

    I can squeeze on 8's but its not attractive. Lol. I'm hoping to be a size 8 when I hit 170ish.
