What is your Weight & Pant Size?
 
I know that everyone is shaped differently and wears a different size pants because of their weight and body structure. I was so excited but confused when I was able to fit nicely into a size 8 pants. The only thing that confuses me is that I weigh 175lbs (still have 16 more lbs to lose) and 175 lbs with a BMI of 27.4 is considered overweight. When people see me they say I look "skinny". I'm 16 lbs overweight but can still fit into a smaller size pants. I guess the remaining 16 lbs are my flabby/fat stomach and arms? Could that be possible?'

What is your weight and pant size?

ETA: I'm 5'7".

hey im 5'8, and about 175 as well (im in a little bit of a flux right now) but i also wear an 8 =) when i go down to about 170 i start wearing some 6s. you're totally in the normal!

kateleestar 07-26-2012 09:56 AM

LA, this is so funny... I'm wearing my 8's for the first time today, and I was at 178 on the dot this morning. :D

I'm an apple, though. I constantly get the 'oh, no! don't lose more!' comments. I'm pretty bony places, like my collar bones pop out, but I have a belly still. Oh well. Working on it.

BUT... EIGHTS! :lol:

And I agree, totally normal. :)

GREAT! This is great news. I thought something was wrong with me. I will look forward to being in your "class" as well and I hope that I can start wearing a 6's as well. It sounds like we could easily be in a size 4 when we reach 160. :carrot:

Thank you for your input. Much appreciated. :carrot:

caramelkitty 07-26-2012 09:58 AM

Hey!! I'm 5'5 and weigh 140, I wear anywhere between 6's to 10's depending on the brand. Annoying, yes, but once I fall on a 6 I do a little happy dance lol

I'm looking forward to size 6, so that I can do a happy dance too. :carrot:

KatieBug 07-26-2012 10:04 AM

Wow! Yeah its amazing how body shape and bone structure can dictate that! I have a very small frame and am 6 feet, weighed in at 170.8 this morning and I wear 11's!!! My goal is 6-8

MixedColors 07-26-2012 10:23 AM

I'm 5' 8" and about 150 pounds. I wear a size 9's to 10 pants :'(

Vex 07-26-2012 10:35 AM

re:
 
Yeah, I must be one of those people who will never see those numbers due to shape I'm 194 5'6" and in 16. I can't imagine only another 20lbs would put me in 8. Heck I can't even zip 14s yet.

Beach Patrol 07-26-2012 10:40 AM

I am 5'3" (& a half!) and at 156 & I wear between a 10 & 12 size in pants.... which would normally be called "a size 11" HOWEVER, we all know that there is no such thing as size 11 in women's sizes. Le'sigh!

A 12 is a bit too big & a 10 is a bit too tight... therefore... I rarely ever wear "pants" - I just stick to skirts, dresses, & lots of lycra. :rofl:

allygirl5 07-26-2012 10:59 AM

5'10" and 188lbs currently....and squeezing into my size 14 jeans. I am a pear shape and carry most of my weight in my hips and thighs.

mimsyborogoves 07-26-2012 11:02 AM

I'm 5'4, weighed in at 195.5 this morning (that little gain I was talking about a few days ago has come off!) and I am a 16, borderline 14. My body's doing that cruel thing where the 14s will get on and zip up just fine, but they ain't gonna look good once they get on. Maybe it was just the pants I was trying on.

But I'm thinking like someone else said, I won't see an 8 for awhile, if ever. I'm guessing the lower 170s will bring me into 12 territory, and if that's the case I probably wouldn't get in an 8 unless I got into the 150s-140s. Boo!

EDIT: I bought 2 pairs of jeans at American Eagle today in a 14! YAY!

krampus 07-26-2012 11:17 AM

5'5, 125 lbs, misses' 4 fits in the hips/thighs but gaps in the waist sometimes. However in juniors' sizes I can wear anywhere from a 5 to a 9. No consistency and also the sizes are bigger now so who knows, ha.

At 155 lbs I was a 10.

camper67 07-26-2012 11:44 AM

5'7.5/156lbs and I wear a size 10-12.

Katbot24 07-26-2012 11:45 AM

5'8, 212 some 14's some 12's

fredlr 07-26-2012 11:58 AM

I'm 5-8, 168, and am most comfortable in a 14, but really can fit in a 12. I don't have particularly big hips, but the booty needs the extra room:)

StephMar 07-26-2012 12:31 PM

I'm 5'7" and 166 lbs. I'm still wearing size 14 pants but they are loose. I can get into 12's and that's probably where I will stop. I don't know if I could even get into a size 6 in grade school. Let's hear it for the girls with hips!!!

I wish I had more booty. I nice, round one would be awesome! :D

ilidawn 07-26-2012 02:05 PM

5'6" 249 and in size 18. This thread has given me hope maybe someday I'll be in single digit jeans!

COchick 07-26-2012 02:13 PM

5'3, 160lbs, and I'm in 10s. I can fit 8s, but it's still a little uncomfortable.

ValRock 07-26-2012 02:13 PM

I'm a pear... 5'9.5 and 166 lbs. I wear a 6/8.

leftoverqueen 07-26-2012 02:21 PM

5'3, 210, and I wear a size 14. Like some of you above me, I am apple shaped so I would definitely be in a 12 if my weight was more even distributed! A 14 is just right on the waistband but wayyy big on my thighs.

ChickieChicks 07-26-2012 02:43 PM

5'2" and about 127 today.

I wear almost all size 4s, usually petites and some 2s.

WildThings 07-26-2012 06:45 PM

I'm at 175 and wear sized 10 jeans from American Eagle and an 8 or 10 in dress pants. Okay...today was the first day I wore the size 8 dress pants and I did a little dance in them as well :D

Keli10801 07-26-2012 08:42 PM

5' 10" and 156 lbs
I wear a 6 with a few 8's in the mix because I like them too much and I am too cheap to replace them! LOL

Ciao 07-26-2012 08:47 PM

height: 5'4"
weight: 150 lbs
pant size: 8

LucyRic 07-26-2012 09:32 PM

I'm 5'1 and 160 lb. I'm currently somewhere between a 14 and a 12. 14s are starting to get big but 12s are too tight to be comfortable.

undul8tor 07-26-2012 09:46 PM

5'4", 155 pounds. 12's in pants are staring too get too big on me, so I'd say I am the non existent size 11 as well. Even took off a pair of size 12 jeans without unzipping them the other day. lol. I'm hour glass body type.

graciegoose13 07-26-2012 10:55 PM

I'm about 5'4 and about 143 pounds and most definitely an apple shape. My belly just won't go away! In pant sizes, I'm usually a 6, with some 8s and some 4s thrown in there too, depending on the cut and/or store.

Candeka 07-26-2012 11:05 PM

5'6, 147 Pounds. Size 11/12 pants.

alaskanlaughter 07-27-2012 01:08 AM

im 5 foot 5 and about 190 pounds...if the pants have some give in them, like athletic pants, i can fit a size 8/10...i hate jeans and never wear them but the one pair that i have, from years ago, is a size 12 or perhaps a juniors 11/13 and i can fit those snugly

LizRR 07-27-2012 01:25 AM

I am 5'6", ~150lb and a size 1/2 in Old Navy pants (yes, i found size One jeans there and snagged them as my 'goal pants')... and a 2/4 in Limited pants, so lets say a 2-4 depending on the store. I found within the last 15lb in particular i was dropping a size every 5lb or so, where it took me 30+lb to get out of the tight 16s.

Coldsoup 07-27-2012 03:29 AM

I am 5'3" and 150 lbs (this morning). I mainly wear size 12. Have some older size 14's that are too tight. Can sometimes squeeze into a newer size 10 thanks to vanity sizing! I have been wearing the same size since I weighed about 180!!! Hoping this will change soon because I won't allow myself to buy new clothes (unless I really have to) until I can get smaller ones and my work clothes are getting REALLY worn. I have lost a shoe size which is really odd, because I never thought my feet looked that fat or puffy before.

CherryQuinn 07-27-2012 09:25 AM

245 and 14. I am 5'7.5 and my weight is evenly distributed thats why :P

Satine 07-27-2012 02:22 PM

wow, what a difference a few inches in height makes ...I am 5ft3" and weigh 198...I still have to wear 16/18's most of the time ...I carry a lot of my weight in my middle area so need the bigger waist I guess.

As far as the shoe size, I can remember 5 years ago when I wore a size 4, my shoe size went from a size 9 1/2 to a size 8 1/2. That was weird.:?:

Dreamer2012 07-28-2012 05:44 PM

I'm 5'0, currently 137lbs and my jeans are a UK size 14 (US size 10) but I can feel them getting loose by the day so I could be in UK 12s (US 8s) soon.

I'm hoping when I get to my goal I will be a comfortable UK 8 (US 4)

Rose Elizabeth 07-28-2012 05:47 PM

I'm 128.5lbs. As for pants size I'm a US size 6P or 8P. It really depends on the cut and brand. I'd really like to get back to me size 2P I used to be.

DrivenByAmbition 07-28-2012 07:39 PM

176.8 this morning size 14 and can squeeze into 12s. I have never been below a 10.
