What is your pant size?

Okay, unfortunately I have been handed down a big butt by the wonderful women in my family. We call it 'The Morgan Butt'. Great Great Grandma Morgan had a huge caboose. I do however have the ‘smaller’ of the butts in my family but I always find that my pant size is way higher than anyone with my weight? (even the bigger buts in my fam) But when I tell people how much I weight they say I hide it well?! I always get the “I would have never pegged you for that!”

My current weight is between 200-198lbs and I am 5’5ft…I wear a size 16 (they are just starting to feel a little loose). My husband weights 50 pounds more than me and I can’t even fit into his pants (size 38-40).

What are your current stats and what is your pant size? Male responses are welcome too!

I'm 5'9", 193lbs, and I wear a size 16w. (Actually, I still wear an 18w because no stores within a 100-mile radius seem to have any 16s that aren't petite. Who wears a size 16 and is also petite?)

 I have the same problem... The closest major center is about 1.5 hrs from where I live, so at 5'10" finding jeans in a "tall" is pretty tough in the middle of nowhere. 

My sister in law is also on a weightloss journey, and about 2 sizes behind me, so I've been passing on my clothes, someone might as well get some use out of them! But the funny part is, that as hard as it is for me to find pants long enough for me, I hand them on down to someone who is "petite" at 5'1" and she just ends up hacking off 6-7 inches off the length.  LOL

Elfinpiclke, you're also three inches taller than us...don't taller girls usually have to wear bigger sizes than those of us who are...eh, um...vertically challenged?  When I was 158 I was in 8-10's and I'm 5'4ish also.  I got the booty as well gals...10's were more for the butt and thighs and the waist was always too big.  Now my 10's fall off.  YEAY!  Still sportin the 8's though at 147 but they're much more loose and I no longer have to do the squat dance to stretch them out before I wear them in public if ya know what I mean.  ;)

Lol, I know exactly what you mean! I can remember even spraying my pants with water my pants to stretch them out so they weren't so tight.  Oh the things we girls do..

Yeah...my favorite was wearing the pants I wanted to wear out on Friday night around the house on Wednesday and Thursday to stretch them out rather than wearing my sweats when I got home!  It's kinda nice not having to do that anymore!  I don't have to plan my outfits for the weekend on Wednesday!  LOL!!!

I'm 5'8", 163 lbs. I wear a 10 comfortably, a 12 loosely, and an 8 when I'm feeling daring (and have a top that can hide the muffintop)

I'm 5'2 and I weigh anywhere from 161 to 168 (this weeks crazy lbs jump from day to day), and I wear a size 10 or 12.

I'm 5'3.5" and weigh 113 pounds.  My pants size is usually a 1 or a 3, depending on the brand.  

I'm 5'3" weighing 197 lbs and I wear a size 16 or 18 (but mostly 18) depending on the brand.  Sometimes I'll even wear a 20 if they are stretch jeans.

Im 5'3'' and 147 lbs and I wear anywhere from a size 9 to 11 depending on the brand. and usually with most jeans that are in style and achually cute I have to buy pants 1 or 2 sizes bigger just to fit my big butt. My pants are always realy baggy around the waist but tight in my butt and theighs.

I have some exceptionally wide hips, my butt and theighs arent the problem. lol

Im 5'5" 202 lbs and almost in a size 14. Size 16 are baggy as hell but still can quite button the size 14. Frustrating that is.

I'm 19 years old.

260lbs, 5'7 and wear a size 16 as well. 

 

Seeing as I have 60 lbs. on you, I'm either wearing it well myself or letting people see to much! :O

I'm sure it's just the booty, don't worry about it!

 

I sure hope that when I hit 189lbs I dont have to go up a pant size.

I'm 23, 5'4", 148 and a size 12.  Size 12 is comfortably snug (at least the one pair of pants I own in size 12 are).   I always hate pants shopping because like yescalyn's "morgan butt" I have my father's "popcorn butt" and my mother's wide hips.  It's difficult to find pants that can get past my hips, over my butt and be snug at the waist and not too long.  As it is now I'm wearing pants I've had for as long as 5 years.  They're from the time when I wore a size 16.  But wonder of wonders they don't fall off because they hang on my hips! lol  Men's pants are actually easier to fit everywhere....I wear 32/30 in men's.

One of these days they will design jeans for normal women.

"Who wears a size 16 and is also petite?"  Me, unfortunately!!!  "Petite" refers to length-big size stores often label it "short" instead of "petite."  I am 5'1" and 187 lbs. so I need a big size with a short length.  Be grateful you're not short.  Short and fat is the worst combination-you can't hide anything.  And it's very difficult to find clothes that fit.  Woe is me!  I pray fervently that I will stick to a diet this time and be done with this difficulty in finding clothes that fit correctly.  It's hard enough if you're just plain short, but this is ridiculous. 

Hi, I'm 5'5' and 170 and i am between a 12 and 14 also as a few of the other posters. My problem area isn't my butt/hips though, it has always been my stomach. I'm completely apple shaped with a large belly. Even though i have lost weight my stomach is still the biggest part. pilates has helped but i guess cant change the body shape. ..I was a 16 too when I was about 200 and even though i didn't think of myself as short, i sometimes needed a short in pants, which is weird, guess i have short legs. ...what I hate about my pants right now is that even if they are comfortably loose when im standing i sit down and then, boom, muffin top. I hate that!..im aiming for 140-145 right now so i am wondering what size that is....maybe a 8, i think.

hey julie.  When I weighed 140lbs, I'm about the same height as you, I was a 10/11 but my hips and legs are my problem area so you would probably be an 8 I assume. 

Im 5'9 and currently weight 154lbs.  I am in between an 8 or 10 depending on style and brand.  When I was 182 I wore a 12.  The problem I have is that from my butt down I'm bigger than from my waist up.  I have to get a bigger size to accommodate my butt and thighs but  then it's big at the waist.  But I love my curves and so does my boyfriend.  I also have to get pants that are long when I want to where heels.  I have found that Express carries a curvy fit line and I like it.  They fit me better then most other pants and there's less gap at the waist.  Ialso can't where the skinny jeans because my ankles and calfs are bigger as well.  As far as up top goes Im only a small B cup and my fingers slightly over lap when measuring my wrist.  My boyfriend teases me and tells me that he'll leave me if my stomach sticks out past my breast.  I tell him well that doesn't give me much wiggle room. LOL And when I was 182 my stomach did stick out more and he's still here. LOL  How can my upper body and lower body be so different?

I'm 5'4.5", weigh 140 lbs, and wear sizes 10 and 12 in pants... and a 6-8 in tops... I do not have the body for a jumpsuit. :)

I'm 5'4, 133 lbs, and wear size 8 or 9, although some brands of these sizes are becoming too big.

Must be a little more padding in the rear...that's not a bad thing, what would be much worse is having a flat butt.  Think the J-lo butt, I'm sure she doesn't wear a size 2 but that's what makes her attractive is the extra.  Ask your husband, I'm sure he likes it just like it is...just like age, numbers are just numbers and don't always mean everything.
