I'm 5'5, 145 lbs, and right now I'm between sizes 6 and 8 jean-wise, dress size 6. And I wear small or sometimes extra-small tops. However my favorite jeans now are size 4, so....I am kind of all over the place in regards to size and fit ;-)
There is something completely wrong with me! The last time I was a size 8 I was in college and I weighed 120 pounds. (I'm 5/7.) When I married I was 140 and wearing a 10/12.

I just must be huge no matter what!
Ha! This is what I've been thinking from this thread, too - when I weighed 145 I was a size 12. I'm 5'10" - shouldn't the extra height put me in a smaller size at higher weights?!
I'm 5'4" and I weigh 185 pounds currently. I wear size 12 or 14 pants. People say I don't look as heavy as I am, even though my BMI says that I am obese. I do have a boyish build even though I'm curvy.
5'2, 164 pounds, and as far as pants go, I'm a comfortable 14/zipped and buttoned but muffin top 12.
Tops, well, I'm well-endowed, no matter my weight, so I usually end up with a Medium or a Large, depending on the brand. Even when I was wearing a size 4 shorts (long ago, in a galaxy far away), I was a DD. Medium is about as low as I can get shirt-wise!
I'm an apple shape and right now at 160 I'm in 10s (average size) for pants. I have to get into the low 150s to get into 8s and I was wearing 6s at 140 before. Dresses are a whole different story because of the bust sizing: I have to buy 14s or 16s and have them taken in which doesn't always come out so nice and can be expensive.
I wanted to add: I can get 8s on right now and get them zipped but everything north of the waistband looks not unlike a shar-pei.
5'7.5", 182-3 pounds right now, wear size 12's comfortably. Don't really drop into 10's until I'm lower 170's, and haven't seen an 8 since high school... doubt I'd fit into one again!!
