Hi, I was really concerned when i read a post that for my size, height and all i really should be wearing a size 3 / 4, i thought was good i was in a size 8. Well yesterday, i said wth i ' ll buy the size 6 for something to fit into later. Well, I could oomph them right up!! These ones are from state end, not even a relaxed fit. So in levi ' s im size 8, principality end size 6. Im gonna put self on induction again Monday and still exercising 1 hour every day, 3 miles. Just wanted to let people know about sizes. I hike so much sorry! [ / icon_redface. gif]

Are you in the USA QVaria?? I get confused by the size system you guys have there.. we have size 8 ( extra small ) size 10 ( small ) size 12 ( medium ) size 14 ( medium / large ) size 16 ( large ) size 18 ( extra large ) then 20 + as the extra big sizes..

How does the system in the USA work? Sorry I know its not really what you were discussing but I am curious..

Awesome, Q! I bet you really can drop one more size, with minimal weight loss - just switching those fat lbs. to lean makes a BIG difference!

Sari - here ' s a very general typical size chart for the US:

X - small - 2 / 4

Small 6 / 8

Medium 10 / 12

Large 14 / 16

X - large 18 / 20

and the 1X and up sizes
