Ladies, What Size Jeans Do You Wear?

This past weekend I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans since I was in college. I'm pretty close to goal now (6 pounds to go), so I doubt I'll be getting down to a size 10. But then I see people who are still over 200 pounds fitting into size 10s. So I was thinking about how different body shapes and heights really affect clothing sizes. I've been in a size 10 dress since I was over 180, but even at 170 I'm only just NOW fitting into size 12 jeans. I carry so much of my weight in my hips and thighs! So for the sake of curiosity, please post your stats and what size pants you are wearing now. If you have photos, that's even better! My most recent gallery pics are unfortunately pretty outdated. I think I was 185 and wearing size 16 jeans in those pics.

Weight: 170.2

Height: 5'6"

Jeans: Size 12

I am bigger on top than bottom! I still wear medium/large tops.

5'3", 204, bigger on top than the bottom, and wearing mostly 14's now. Some brands a 16. Exercise pants are usually a L or XL depending on how tightly fitted they are.

SHIRTS are a different story. Still pretty firmly an XL or even XXL...ptooey!

Weight: 156

Height: 5'5"

Jean size: Not sure, but between 8 and 10

Size: 8

Because it's summer, all my size 8's are in the form of shorts and capri's, lol. I'm in a medium skirt and medium tops. I haven't bought a pair of jeans yet this size, but depending on the brand, I'm sure it's an 8 up to a 10. Now I'm curious, and will have to try some on the next time I go shopping! I know I was just talking to a gal on here (I wish I could remember who it was) who's stats are very similar to mine who was in a 6 jeans. I think she was even shorter than I am. There's no way I could wear a 6 right now! I'm built very *ahem* curvy. I'm all boobs and tummy, lol. I really think my "pooch" (as I call my panni) affects the size I wear, too. You can see it pretty well in the pic in the skirt. The other pic is me in my workout clothes.

5'9"

222 (down 80 lbs)

Size 18 still

I haven't had surgery yet, so my numbers are huge still.

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 294

Jeans: 24--I should probably be in a 22 because my 24s are baggy and loose, but I am afraid to try a smaller pair.

Weight: 125

Height: 5'

Jeans 27 (for pairs sized that way) 4p-6p (depending on the brand)

weight 175

Height

5 4

Jeans Size 14, close to 12

i started with a size 16-14 now currently in a size 8 :)

5'3 at 177 right now I used old navy so u know they run bigger but I have curves so it works better for me.

This thread always fascinated me. I often wonder if people are in the wrong size (like it's often stated so many women are in the wrong size bra). I think it's a little subjective too... Some may go for a tighter fit, others may opt for the comfort of a looser fit

I don't wear jeans in the summer, but my jeans and dress pants generally run the same, so my stats ate:

Height 5'6"

Weight 278

Pants size 20, quickly creeping towards an 18.

WOW... this is really interesting how many people are close to the same height and weight, but wear completely different sizes.

Currently...

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 149
Pants: Size 8 on the verge of size 6 (never in a million years would I have ever believed I'd be that small again)
Shirts: Medium

Thanks for all the posts so far. It really is interesting to see the variety of sizes, even in people with very similar stats.
