    I am 5'7" and 130lbs, I typically wear a size 2 but sometimes a zero or 4 depending on the brand ( I started at 211 and size 16 a little over a year ago)

    Congratulations!! YOU are AWESOME.

    I'm 5'2", currently 109 lbs and I wear anything between size 2 and size 5, depending on the brand / style / where they were in the manufacturing stack (it actually makes a difference so try your pants on instead of just thinking you know your size!!).

    I have no idea anymore. For years the only pants that fit me well were SO brand from the Kohl's junior section. If I got them size 7 and short, they fit perfect. A couple years ago though, they redid all their sizing, and I couldn't even get into a size 7 anymore. A size 9 short fit, but were too long now and a wee bit snug. After losing about 15lbs, my mom gave me some Anne Taylor The Loft brand jeans, one was a size 4, the other a size 6, and both fit pretty well, but were still too long. The size 7s are starting to get too big for me now, but the size 9s are still tighter than the 4, 6, or 7s. This summer when I was at my highest recent weight, I was into size 10s though, from New York and Company specifically. Those are way too big for me now though.

    So I have no idea. All I know is my hips are about 37 1/2" around.

    I'm 5'5", weigh 169 and wear a size 10. When I weighed 188, I wore a size 14. I've got lots of junk in the trunk and a smallish waist. I haven't been in single digits since I was 13. Can't wait to see an 8 :)

    I'm 5'11. I started this out at 270 lbs, and size 42 pants that sat squarely under my gut. Now I'm 163, 16% body fat and in size 29 pants.

    I want to be there someday!!

    I'm 5'5, currently 155 and same thing with the variance (like other people have mentioned). American Eagle I had to size down from an 8 to a 6 because the sales lady said their jeans stretch 0.5 to 1 inch after you wear them and my 8s were falling off! But it even depends on the style, because I tried on a pair of skinny jeans different from the ones I already own from AE in a 6 and couldn't get them up over my thighs... I bought a pair of 10s from the clearance section on Abercrombie and they fit almost perfectly! And I have a pair of running pants from Lululemon that are a 6... so it all depends on the store and the style! I always feel so strange buying 6s though... I don't feel skinny enough :P but hey! The 8s were too big! What can I do? lol

    As someone who works in the fashion industry doing fits, I can assure you that the number in your pants mean absolutely nothing! Vanity sizing is in every store. If you want to know your true size, look at a sewing pattern, those measures and numbers have never changed. You'll notice that chain stores sizes run much bigger than expensive, or European brands. For example, you'll be a size 6 at Gap, but a size 10 at Zara or Mango. You know how people say that Marilyn Monroe was a size 12? She was, but in today's sizes, she'd be a size 6.
    I can also attest that, depending on the season, the size, fit and overall shapes of garments will change within the same brand. I sometimes get emails from stores asking that last season's size Large now becomes a size Medium. So, what we do is take all the fits with size Large, and get the manufacturers to stick a size Medium tag in there.
    Don't get hung up on the number on the label, it really doesn't mean much :)
    Interesting, very interesting... Do you think it's a ploy, to make women feel better so that we buy more becuase we can fit into a smaller size? Men's clothing is the same my husband wears a 34/32 and I can go any where and buy that size and it will fit him, I think that is because men wouldn't fight the fight.

    That's what vanity sizing is all about! Sometimes the sizing gets changed to attract a different market. It's all about profits in the end!

    I THOUGHT I was a size 5 until yesterday when I wore them, ever so confidently, and then realized after about 2 hours that I had no blood circulation and I had a permanent imprint of "DEREON" on my thigh.....(I actually started feeling light headed after wearing those jeans), soooooooo, I wear a 7/8.

    When I was 235, I wore a size 24. Now I am 210 and I wear a 16. Those are different brands, though. I used to wear Faded Glory from Walmart because they were cheap and came in a big enough size. Now I wear pants from Maurice's because they still aren't too spendy but they look much more age appropriate.

    5' 1.5" (yes, I count that half inch!)
    127 pounds
    Size 6 or 28 in pants and jeans. Once in a while a size 4 but very rarely.

    When I started on MFP a year ago, I was a size 10. I'm proud of my new size!
