I am currently a US 12 (give or take) but would love to get down to a 10. I don't think my big booty (and it will always be voluptuous) will ever fit in anything smaller than that. I'm also 5'10" and broad so I look relatively in proportion (think Christina Hendricks type figure). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544555 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:52:48 +0000 fussygal 544555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always been a 12 (For reference, I'm 5'11") and about three years ago was in 10s for a few years. This past year I've been back up to a 12 but want to get to an 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544542 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:50:40 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 544542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm in 4s and i don't mind staying 4s...i just want them to fit better and not leave marks on my tummy! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544511 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:43:35 +0000 cyndistar3 544511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to get to 12ish give or take a size. Though I don't want to go below 10 because I start looking sickly at that point. Right now I am at 18 give or take a size depending on the brand :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544486 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:35:31 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 544486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally I'd like to be a 6 in misses.

Not sure that it helped, but here's hoping! I also used the belly bandit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544451 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:21:30 +0000 kml636 544451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Size 4!

I would take 8! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544098 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:24:37 +0000 Running Elley 544098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a 2/4 but I think that's a little too thin for me. I'd like to be a comfortable 6. I'm between an 8 and 10 right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544096 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:23:17 +0000 shopaholic 544096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a size 4 or 27 in jeans pre-pregnancy. I've never been able to fit 25 or 26 w/out vanity sizing because of my hips and butt. My sister and I have the same waist measurement pp but she's much straighter in the hips and wears 0/2 and 25/26. I'd love if I can bind with shrinkx hips after baby and manage to slim my hips to fit 26 like the claim is possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-544034 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:58:14 +0000 photojane 544034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-preg I was in a 12, and not miserable, but not happy about it. In college I was a size 8, and thought I was so fat. Now, looking back at pictures, I'd love to be a size 8 again. I think a 6-8 is probably best for my body shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-543843 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:51:04 +0000 littlek 543843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a size 2/4 pre prenancy or 27. Right now I'm a 6 or 28. I need to lose weight. I'm 5 feet tall, so weight is not my friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-543831 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:47:17 +0000 mrsjazz 543831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to be a size 8, having been a size 4 through 12, I realized that I like my body best when I'm not too skinny and still have my junk in the trunk. I have a pear shape, so most of my hip to waist ratio is a bit crazy and I have problems finding pants often.</p> <p>I'm a 10/12 now, my pre-preg 12s are all fitting lose and I can get into some of the 10s I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size/page/2#post-543793 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:33:00 +0000 littlebittyhouse 543793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm happy with where I am (currently 5'6"/145lbs). PrePreg I was the heaviest ever at 165, I gained 35lbs while pregant which put me at a size 12PP. 7mo later I am down to 145 and in a size 8. Ideally this is where I will stay. A 6 would be amazing but not realiztic long term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543663 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:06:22 +0000 MaisyMay 543663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lovejoy: I appreciate some company, I've been hearing lots of 2-8. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543635 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:00:50 +0000 MamaMoose 543635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an 8 right now. I'd be happy at a 6 and thrilled at a 4. I have wide hips so I don't even think my skeleton could fit in a 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543630 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:00:14 +0000 pui 543630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think going by pants size is probably more healthy and accurate than going by the scale! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543574 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:49:33 +0000 rachiecakes 543574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I can kiss my 25's goodbye but I'd love to be comfortable in my 26's again. I'm in a 27 right now and they're a little loose but definitely not a 26. boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543555 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:44:33 +0000 ValentineMommy 543555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre baby I was between a 6 or an 8 (I'm 5'9).</p> <p>I'm due in 5 days, so I can't comment much on my weight now, other than that I'm really round lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543553 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:44:12 +0000 Anagram 543553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I hope I lose weight that quickly afterward!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543548 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:43:47 +0000 littleveesmommy 543548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently a 4 and fit my prepared jeans, but noticed my hips are wider than before. So more curvy even though I was plenty curvy pre-pregnancy. =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543537 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:41:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 543537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually weighed the most just before getting pregnant. I was over 170 lbs and when I realized that was overweight for my height (5'8), I kicked my butt into gear! I lost 10 lbs and then got pregnant, then went to 199 lbs. I bought some fat pants to get me through post partum weight loss and they were targets size 15. Thankful I quickly outgrew them (ingrew?!?). I'm 5 lbs under Pre-pg weight, at 158 lbs, nd I wear 8/29. I'd love to be a 4-6. I doubt the 4 will ever happen but a six could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543530 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:39:29 +0000 loveisstrange 543530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ideal is 8-10. I wear between a 12-14 now, post-baby. If I can get back to a 10, I would be perfectly happy. It's the size I was in high school.</p> <p>I'm tall and have a big butt and big hips and I'm never going to be a tiny girl. I'm totally fine with that. I just want to FEEL thin again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543509 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:32:31 +0000 Mrs.M57 543509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a 2 or 4 prepreg. I'm a 6 now and would love to be in a 4 agein! one of my 4's fit, but not super comfortably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543507 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:32:07 +0000 Bao 543507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in size 3 or 5 and I'm ok with that, however, I have some toning in my belly area I would love to get rid of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543502 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:30:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 543502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have kids, but I'm just tryng to lose weight in general.</p> <p>Right now I am a size 16-18 in pants, my ideal would probably be a 10-12! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543498 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:29:50 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 543498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a 4 or 6 would be really ideal (meaning I don't have to be insanely strict on diet/exercise but need to lose weight still), but I'll likely be an 8 - 10 for a while after baby. A 6 - 8 would be amazing if I could just be consistent for the rest of my life. But, I fluctuate quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543472 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:22:39 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 543472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8/10 is my lowest ideal, as I have legit junk in my trunk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideal-pant-size#post-543466 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:20:44 +0000 littlecasita1122 543466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm currently a 12/14 and would like to be a 10. </p>
