    I'm not sure how bad this is with brands in the UK - but here ..... VANITY SIZING! Big time. I used to pour myself into a size 6 when I weighed 106 - now I can wear a size 6 at 128. Sizes in the US are pretty meaningless .... sorry.

    I'm 154 and wear an 8 in womens or an 11 in juniors. I'm hoping to be in a juniors 5. I like the way juniors fit better than womens. I'm short torso'd so womens bottoms come up too far and I feel like Steve Urcle! :smile:

    WOW... I think I'm the biggest one weighing in here (pun intended! LOL :laugh: )

    I am 5'6", weigh 296, wear 26/28 altho I find I'm still able to squeeze into some of the 24's that were getting to be too big on me before I gained all this weight back! But I'm getting back down there... slowly but surely!!

    No size is ever consistent. I am 5'6ish and last weigh in was 168. size 12 fits me perfect when they get out of the washer/dryer but within an hour are loose. But a 10 is too tight in the hips and thighs, which is where I carry most of my weight. Nothing ever fits me correctly in the waist, everything is always too big. It is a constant challenge. When I was at my heaviest at 217, I was in a W16-W18. It amazes me how you can try on 4 different pairs of pants in the same size and they will all fit differently!

    I'm 5'3" and weigh 164.6 (as of yesterday) and I wear a size 14 in jeans. Will be ecstatic when I get down to a size 10. At my heaviest which was around 187, I wore a size 16 or 18 womens.

    Okay...I'm 4'11 and 1/2" and I weigh 90 pounds and wear a double 00. My waist is 23.5 inches and I still have a muffin top at times...dang leftover skin from being pregnant. I'm naturally tiny...purely genetics. I still need to gain some more muscle.

    I think this depends on your waist/hip size, as well as your height.

    I'm 5'5, weigh 145 and I'm a size 10/12 depending. I have a bigger bottom and a smaller waist, so even when I fit into an 8 or a 10 around the waist, I have to get one-two sizes bigger for my butt - and wear a belt.

    Aiming for 120lbs. and a size 6 or 4. Have a feeling I'll be in a 4 cause when I was about 135-140 last time I was a 6.

    I also have small waist & larger hip, so it depends on the "designer" currently I am 153 lbs & 5' 5'' size 8 (mostly) & 10.....

    I dunno how helpful it will be butttt:

    Height: 4'11" (149.9cm)
    Weight: 105.6 lb, 47.9 kg

    Most sizes I wear are 2s, with some 4s. It really depends on the brand: Old Navy has larger sizes, I wear a 0 there. American Eagle 4s, the Walmart brand pants (Old Glory?) are 2s. Before you buy clothes, you could check for a sizing chart online.

    Before, I was (obviously the same height), but 126 pounds and wore mostly 8s (AE, AF, etc) and 4s (Old Navy).

    I'm with some of the other ladies here. I'm actually 5'8" and weigh 163 but am just now comfortably in a size 12. I could wear a 10 in the waist in most clothes, but they would be horribly tight in my hips and upper thighs.

    Right now I'm about 184, 5'3", and wear a size 14 comfortably. At 195 I was a size 16, and even that felt snug. When I was 172, I wore a size 12.

    At my max of 336 pounds I was wearing 3x/4x clothes. Had to go to the BIG and tall store. Now at 204, depending on what brand name I can wear a Large in shirts and currently a 38 in pants. Would like to go down a couple more sizes in pants if at all possible, though compared to the former sizes I am not complaining. lol

    OP, I'm 5'5" too, but my sizes / weight timings are somewhat of a guess.

    At 190, I wore 14s that were a little snug. Not sure when I got back to a 12.. mid 170s I think. Size 10 was around 160. Size 8 around 150. When I'm back at 135 or so, my 6s fit just right, although I can wear them when I'm a few pounds heavier.

    I am 5'2" and have yo-yo'd a lot over the last few years. Here's what I weigh at different weights:

    175lbs: UK 18 (US 16)

    155lbs: UK 16 (US 14)

    135lbs: UK 14 (US 12)

    Never been smaller than that!

    BTW, can someone please clarify the difference between UK and US sizing? On most of the conversion charts I can find it seems to be one size difference (UK 16 = US 14) but I have noticed a lot of people on here seem to describe it as two sizes (eg: "I'm a UK 12 / US 8"). Anyone know for sure?

    5'10", 179 lbs, size 14(US). It has been interesting to see the huge variance in sizes for similar heights/weights.
