    I currently weigh 255lbs (just started my working out and eating right after having a baby 6 weeks ago). My pant sizes range from 20-22. I weighed 232 a couple of years ago and was in a size 18.

    I'm 5'7", weigh 170, and size 10 pants are just starting to get a little loose in the legs and rear. I carry my weight in my mid-section. I wear a large top as my shoulders are on the broader side.

    I'm 5'8.5 and weigh 170, my 8's are tight but my 10's fit pretty good, At 160 my 8's fit good so I am trying to get back to that. I am 48 years old and this weight just doesn't want to leave, but now that the holidays are behind us and summer is coming, I intend to start hitting it hard!!!!

    They must be! People are posting larger weights with smaller sizes and vice versa. I find this MORE confusing, not less. Oh well!

    So strange to see this: I'm 5'7", 165lbs, and in size 6 to 8 jeans

    How can I only be an inch shorter at 5'6 and weigh 159 lbs and wear a size 10??? Does an inch really make that much of a difference??? Holy smokes!

    When I was 150, I wore a size 12. In fact, I have a brand new size 12 pair of Gap jeans just waiting for me. Can't wait to get there!

    Such an interesting topic. I agree, sizes have changed! I am 5'7" and approximately around 175, but I just bought a new pair of size 8 pants the other day. I haven't weighed myself in a while though, due to some depression issues triggered by the numbers (long story) so I've been marking my progress by how my clothes fit and feel. I have an old pair of European jeans that have a 29 inch waist but they're a little snug, so I feel that the vanity-sizes have gone up to preserve my vanity. :) I would estimate on average I'm more of a size 10, and I wear medium tops.

    Honestly: My "short-term goal" is to get below double-digit pants sizes!

    5'9", 203. My size 14 pants are almost too big, but the 12s are still too tight. I also wear a size L in tops.

    Size doesn't matter, since I can wear a size 2 at the GAP and a size 6-8 in jeans from anywhere else. Medium to large tops.

    I'm 5'6.5'' and 121 pounds. Broad shoulders and moderate hips.

    Length does make a difference, if you get "regular" or "long" length pants. Plus other brands have different sizing. I find that Ann Taylor and White House/Black Market have the kindest vanity sizing. I wear a size 8 in both brands, and I know if I were to talk into a Banana Republic or try on designer jeans at Nordstroms I'd need a much larger size! I remember reading a comparison of the actual measurements of Old Navy, GAP, and BR jeans - for the same "size" each brand had totally different waist/hip measurements!

    all in the body shape I guess! I'm 5'7" and currently at 176, just lost 5lbs, and I'm mostly still wearing 16s but can just get into a few 14s. I'm very narrow but I have a kardashian worthy booty. Always have. People generally don't think there is any way on earth I could be wearing size 16 pants. Which is good..I guess I don't look big. But I have a teeeny tiny frame so all this weight is hurting me, a LOT. I need to be around 135 to FEEL healthy.

    For contrast, 10 years ago I was barely 130 and I was wearing size 8s. I don't think I've ever worn pants below that size.

    I have a friend, same height, who appears about 20lbs heavier than me but weighs 10lbs less and wears size 10 pants. She has no butt, skinny legs, and is all back/boobs. We did WW a few years ago and the girl who weighs us in just could never believe it.
