Quote  |  Reply

My goal is to be able to buy size 12 pants for christmas. Right now I wear a 14 and they are getting loose. I have to buy new dress clothes because I am starting a work term, so I need to be a 12 by christmas.......

So my question is, if your a 5'2 female who wears a size 12, how much do you weigh?????

i'm 5'2.  i was size 14 at 175 lbs.  i was size 12 at 160 lbs.  i am size 8 at 130 lbs.  i don't know if that will help much though.  i checked your stats, and we probably don't have the same body type...but maybe it will give you a general idea?

Well, right now I weigh 180 lbs and my goal was to be in the 160's, so it looks like if I reach my goal, I should be ok. Thanks!

I'm 5'2.5 and I wear between a ten and a fourteen, most of the pants I buy are twelves, and they're all dress pants.  I weigh 143 pounds.

I am 5'2" and wore a size twelve petite when I weighed between 150 and 145.  I started on CC on Aug 15 and weighed 150, which was my highest non-pregnancy weight ever.  I have lost 13 pounds so I am now wearing an 8.  I have an hourglass figure if that helps you to get a better idea of how the clothes will fit.

I am 5'2.5", weigh 165 and wear a 10.  But, I have virtually no butt, so I buy the low cut pants (so happy they are back) and I buy them to fit my buttless figure.  If I were to wear a high waisted pair of pants, they would probably be 14's and it would look like I had empty saddle bags flopping around my hips and legs. 

Shape does matter.

im almost 5'1.5" and when i was about 175 i was probably around a size 14. now im about 162 and could probably wear a 12 now. way back when i was around 135 i was about a size 8.

I think it would depend on your body shape because I have no butt. I'd imagine you could weigh far more fitting into a 12 if you have a flat butt...Some people are lucky enough to carry fat there though. If you do carry fat in your butt I envy the way pants fit you and I'd say 135-145lbs ish. <- My guess.

 ^ This is so true. I didn't read the posts until after I posted. Lol! This reminds me of the episode of I Love Lucy when she goes on a diet.  She starves and steams her way into a size 12.  I <3 Lucy.   Try to remember it's just a number though. My mother used to say she'd remove her tag and suddenly she was a six. It's all in how your body distributes and carries your weight. Some people can't afford any extra pounds whereas others actually can. It's amazing.

 Of course, a size 12 in Lucy's day is somewhere around a size 4 today...  Laughing

 I think she was perfectly fit exactly as she was in her time or in ours. I'm a huge fan of I Love Lucy though so everything I say regarding Lucille Ball is biased. Lol

I'm 5'1 and when I was about 160 I wore a size 12. But it really depends how your weight is distributed.
