    Hmm -- I'm 5'3" weighing 145lbs -- my pants vary depending on brand too
    ones are now are 11 but pretty big -- and others are a 7 and sometimes 9..wtf

    my problem is they are tight on the legs and loose around the waist

    It just depends on where you carry your weight, you say the legs are tight, maybe try some loser fit jeans in the legs?

    I'm 5'3" and 194 wearing a size 14. I started out at 210 and slowly working my way down. Can't wait to be a size 10 again and trust it's coming soon.....Great job by the way!

    I'm 5'2" and at my heaviest I was 163:noway: and wore a size 8 jeans..now I am in the mid 120s and wear a size 2 most reliably. I carry my weight in my muscular thighs. I don't wear tight jeans and the waist is always huge.

    I really don't know I have tiny legs, and prefer either skinny jeans or the skinny flare jeans. However I was at Rue 21 the other day and they had some full leg jeans that looked like they'd be tight for the booty area and loose on the legs. Not sure if you have a Rue 21 around you. Best part is, they were on sale at my store.

    I'm 5'2 and weigh 150. I wear a size 8. I look lighter than my 150 cause I'm really solid. The Doctor's office always thinks something is wrong with their scale. It's just a number, I just want a healthy tight firm body.

    I'm 5'3" and started at 217lbs and a size 16/XL. I just started my journey a few weeks ago, and I am currently 204.5lbs and my clothes are getting looser :)... I would be very happy to be a size 8 again! and I am slowly making my way there. I carry all my weight in my chest and thighs (for the most part), so I will never fit into clothes that are smaller than an 8 as they pull too tight across the chest lol. If I do... I am sure you will all hear my screams! haha

    I'm 5'3 190lbs and a large UK16, I tend to wear 18's for comfort. Can some of you folks across the pond explain US sizes to me? I know they are different to ours. It would be nice to understand what you guys mean when you say you're a 4 etc?

    Just subtract 4 from UK size and that's the US size. A UK 16 would be a US 12.

    I'm starting to think I wear the wrong size. I guess it depends on shape and how muscular you are.

    I'm 5'3"

    At my heaviest non-pregancy weight I was 194 and wearing size 16-18 depending on make and model.

    Right now, I am 156-ish (I say that because I have not weighed myself in 2 weeks).
    My size 14's are getting too loose
    My size 12's are starting to get a little loose but I can wear them all day including after I eat. Yay!
    I can squeeze into some 10's - my skirt right now is a 10 and it is loose.

    My body shape is hourglass. When I gain weight, everyone gets to join the party. I have fairly large hips and I'm pretty busty.

    So I am shocked when I see people who weigh more or the same fitting into 8's or 10's consistently. It makes me wonder if I'm in the wrong size....

    5'2"
    SW 159 Size 12
    CW 153 Just bought my first pair of size 10's but they have a lot of spandex in them.
    My dresses however are usually a 16. Even with a breast reduction I'm still a couple of sizes bigger on top than on the bottom.

    I'd like to see a size 8 bottom, 12 dresses...but honestly I don't ever remember being that small. I don't know if it's even possible for my frame.

    Probably muscle mass vs. fat. I often find myself wearing the same size as someone 10lbs heavier. I need to lose some body fat.

    hmm i'll have to work on that!
