    I am 5ft 11, 169, and wear 10s. They were getting snug for a bit but fitting well again.
    For a brief moment a few years back, I was 158 and fit into 8s. That is my goal.

    i have had 3 kids and my belly has a ton of skin and flab. I hate having any pooch over my pants at all. I am doing lots of ab exercises to tone it up and strengthen, but i know it will only shrink as i lose this weight!

    I am currently 163lbs but my goal is to be around 155-150 (I am 5' 11.5') . I wear size 10-12 in pants, m/l in shirts, and I am about a size 12 in dresses (I have a compacted ribcage due to my scoliosis). :)

    Well, I went shopping today (Dress Barn Woman -- totally on a whim). Tried some 20s -- they fit the same as the ones I wear now: need a belt to stay up, and can pull them on without undoing fasteners. Then I tried some 18s -- they didn't need a belt, but I could still pull them up no problem. Then I tried some 16s, and the heavens opened up and the light shone down upon me and birds sang, and YES! I bought 4 pairs of size 16Ws! I haven't worn a 16 since I was 16 years old! That's 21 years!

    I am awfully pleased today. And my legs look *good* in those skinny jeans!

    I'm 5'10 and 215 and wear a size 12. At my heaviest of 250 I was a size 16, Ive never had a butt or thighs, I carry everything above the waist. I own a pair of 10s that ALMOST close!! But I'm getting there =] for tops I've always worn xxl and plus size. I fit into an XL now but I know I won't ever be a medium top, but that's ok cause I heart my tatas =)

    I think the whole apple vs. pear shape comes into play.

    I am an apple, so my jeans/pants size is 14/16 depending on the design and cut.

    At 6 feet, I'm happier in 14s, but 16s aren't horrid and they are usually just a tad longer, which is always good.
