Oh.. I hear ya!! If it wasn't for my hips, I'd be in a 6 for sure!!! You know, my whole life I was told I have "good child bearing hips" The funny thing is, both of my kids had to be c-sections! one after 42 hours of labor.
The only thing these hips have come in handy for is shutting car doors when my hands are too full of kids and groceries!

I'm with you. When I was a cancer patient and weighed only 85 pounds, I was still a size 5 in jeans. Now at 135 I am in a 10/12. No matter how much I exercise. 
Those child bearing hips will serve you well if you ever decide to have kids, though. I never had to push more than 3 times in any of my 3 deliveries.

Not to scare of Os or anyone planning on having kids, but I wouldn't be so sure of that theory. I wanted so badly to have my children natural. See previous post... my hips failed me miserably!

LOL, I keep getting told about "child-bearing hips" as well. I'm with Kristie; the most they're ever used for is shutting doors (sometimes accompanied by "The power of the butt compels you!"). 
One of the ladies I work with just had a daughter. The entire process, from water breaking to birth, only took an hour or two. We joke that she sneezed and the baby fell out. And she's pretty slender. So I don't think hips play that big of a roll in childbirth.

I can relate and actually I was hoping to find a topic like this on here!!  I was diagnosed in January of this year (2007) and I weighed 159 lbs. which is fine with me at the time because I was VERY unhealthy skinny growing up, I weighed 110 lbs. thorough out my life until I had my 2nd kid at 23 years old.
I went back to my doctor to see how things were going on my new "diet" in March and I weighed 155 lbs. and he told me that I could benefit from losing more weight because I also have cholesterol problems. Well, last week I weighed myself again and I lost MORE weight and I now weigh 145 lbs.
So, like I said my TOTAL weight loss is about 20 lbs in 5 months. When is is a problem?

I wouldn't worry about it until you drop below your ideal weight.
