Wow, a lot has changed since August, when this was originally posted.
I'm now at around 22% body fat, weigh somewhere between 161-164 and wear mostly Size 6 pants, although there's still an occasional 8.
Also, apparently I only posted my MFP starting stats. I actually was 294 at my heaviest with 56% body fat.

I'm 5'6", weigh 123 pounds, and my BMI is 19.9.

At the start I weighed 180 pounds and wore a size 12-14 or large top and size 14 pants. Actually I was beginning to spill out of my 14 pants, which as one of my impetuses to lose weight. Now I wear a size 8-10 or medium top, sometimes a small, and usually size 4 pants.

i think it depends too on where you where your pants if that makes sense?? like if you button at your bb then they should be smaller than if you button and let em sag to your hips. my legs and hips also keep me from wearing a smaller size!

Smaller also if you have relatively small hips and thighs. I have a wedge shaped build with proportionately long, lean legs and a short, boxy torso with a shorter than average gap between my fairly narrow pelvis and not so narrow rib cage - so not much of a waist. Pants that are cut to fit at my natural waist tend to be WAY too roomy in the butt and thighs - positively tent like - if the waistband is large enough to not cut off circulation to my lower extremities. I do much better if they're cut to fit at my belly button or little lower. Fortunately, mid rise is dominant right now, so I don't have any difficulty finding pants that fit. That hasn't always been true.
