Not a complaint so much as pondering the craziness.

I am 5'5". I weigh 160 pounds. I have a 34 inch waist.

Size 14? Izzat right?

Isn't crazy??

I put on 10 lbs and I am still the same size of 00...WTF?  Sometimes I can wear a 0 but hubby says they sag on my butt.  So where am I putting on weight if my pants aren't getting bigger ~ it's certainly not in the boobies either!!!     URGHHHHH!!

I don't know Jupiter6, but I'm sure proud of your size and how you eat to win.  I can't remember when I saw that size last...was it 2nd grade????

not sure....maybe you carry extra skin in the belly area that makes you have a larger size??

OH--I remember in high school when I weighed 160 I wore a 14 so it sounds about right...

I don't know how the sizing thing works.  I work plus sizes for so long that I need to learn the smaller sizes, I guess. 

Here's a size chart from Overstock that looks pretty informative. It looks like they say a size 34 waist should be wearing 16-18.  http://www.overstock.com/sizing.html

This site says 34" waist is solidly in an 18W.  http://www.wmsclothing.com/sizing.html

So how the heck can you fit into a 14??  What's your secret?  :-)
