Hello,

Am trying to get some general jeans/pants size for woman around 145 pound. I am 5' 3.5 inches and my goal weight is 145. I am curious to get some ideas of possible pants sizes. I realize that everyone is built differently, but just wanted to get a general idea to see if my goal is relistic.

Thanks in advance :))

    As you said, everyone is different. I am 5'4" and carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs. When I was 145 lbs, I was wearing size 8/10 jeans. Dress pants were definitely a size 10.

    Hope this helps.

    Someone showed me this website awhile ago, it's really helpful for getting an idea of shape and sizes

    Just input your height and goal weight and people will have uploaded their pics and info for you to view.

    Ugg I wish there was such a thing! I think the last time I weighed that I was between a 10 & 12. (I'm 5'5") But I also have big hips! :)

    I am 5'5.5" and currently 145. In inches, I wear size 30 (Only wear Silver jeans) but my shorts & skirts range anywhere from a 5 to a 11. I would guess that 7/8. So I'm guess you will be a 9/10 or 11/12 depending on how you are shaped.

    I am 5'5". Back in the day when I was really fit, at 145 lbs I wore a size 6. Between 135-140 I wore a size 4 and even some size 2s. I couldn't ever get below 135. So, my weight wasn't super low, but I was pretty small. Right now, at about 180, I wear a 12.

    Certainly your goal is realistic. Get to the weight that feels good to you as an individual!

    Size depends on your build and the cut of the pants. I know people who weigh more than me, are about the same height but they wear pants 3 sizes smaller than me. I carry the majority of my weight in hips and thighs.

    I'm 5'3" and I wore size 10 pants at 145 lbs. I carry most of my weight in my butt and thighs, so my pants size is always the slowest to drop as I lose.

    I'm in an 8, but can fit anywhere from a 6 up to a 12 depending on where the pants come from. I *try* not to pay attention to the size of pants because they fluctuate so wildly even at the same store (though I can get overly upset or excited by the size sometimes). I have a pair of BR shorts that are a 12 but the BR dress pants I wear all the time to work are an 8.

    Well, everyone carries their weight differently - so it won't be exactly the same for everyone.

    I am 5'4" and I am currently 143-145lbs (was 144.5 today). Most of my pants are 8's or 10's. I can wear a 10 from anywhere - Macy's to Wal Mart. I find that some of the cheaper pants are cut too narrow in the hip area when it comes to an 8, so I have to buy a 10 and wear a belt (because they are too big in the waist). I can wear a 6 in Levi's jeans - but they are tight and I don't like how they look on me.


    I would say for MOST women - 145lbs = 8/10 in pants.

    Oh. I should mention that I can NOT wear Junior's pants comfortably -- too much hip.

    I've found that I actually like wearing men's pants better - they seem to fit me better than woman's pants do. I currently wear a size 30 in men's.

    Good question, but I am not sure you are going to get a standard answer. My sister in law and I weigh about 4 pounds different. She wears an 8/10, I wear a 12/14. Store sizes are soo crazy. I joke that I have an Oprah closet. Ever see that episode where she got rid of a TON of clothes and she had every size there was?

    I am 5'5.5" and weigh 143.5 lbs now. Size 8. My 10's are very loose and require a belt as do some of my 8's! Slim hips and butt too!!!

    When I was 145, I was in a 6. I'm 5'3'' and quite muscular.

    (I'm just under 160 and in 8's a bit tight and 10's a bit loose right now)

    I can say I am 5"6' and mine is a size 10 at 145lbs. Oh yeah, and I have an hour class body shape.

    It's definitely different for everyone. I wore size 6 pants when I was close to 150 lbs... Now I'm around 141 and I STILL wear size 6 pants. They're a bit loose around my waist and butt, but I can't go down a pant size yet.

    My waist and butt are size 4. My thighs are size 6. My calves are size 10-12. :grumble:

    Depends on muscle I think. When I was in high school I was 145lb and I wore a size 10.... I wasn't lean and didn't have a lot of muscle. When I was 33 I was 155lb and was lean and muscular and I wore a size 8. I'm 5'6

    from the looks of things it depends on your height, weight and body structure.

    I'm 5'7" looking to get down to 145-150.
    When I was 168 lbs (high school days) I wore a size 16 jeans.
    With that said I'll probably be in a 12 or 14.

    I was 156 pounds, body a lot muscle, wore a 9. So this will show you how it depends on the person. My body is uniform or not sure how to put it. Nothing is bigger or smaller than something else. More of a flatter bum,not big hips.

    For me its more a focus on health then weight or size. I have had people who weighed way less then I, but they had so much more body fat.

    I'm 5'7" and when I was 145 I was still able to squeeeeeeze into many of my size 5 pants, but was more comfortable in 7.

    I am 5' 3/75" and weight 145 and wear a size 8. I'm bigger in the thighs and hips, and generally small waisted. If I buy a "junior" size it ranges from a 9 to a 13.
