What does a size 13 mean?

On my jeans it says I'm a size 13. I have no idea what that means.. I understand inches, but not.. ummm.. whatever 13 is lol

All I know is that a little over a year ago I was wearing a size 18 & now I'm a 13...

My goal in inches is a size 33... so I'm hoping I'm getting closer.. as I was wearing a tight 28

Thanks.. but I still have no idea what a size 13 means lol
I just know that when I was a a 33 inch I was very healthy & far far happier

& I know I haven't worn these Jeans since High School. As they are my funky stretchy Jeans.... I just fit into them, so I'm prob a 13.5 lol BUT I'm in them daily hehehe... I like them semi tight, as it stops me from eatting as much/meal (I can pig out from time to time)

Cool means I'm a 35.. not too bad

I know I put on a little weight as I'm eating healthier & more food (I was eatting very little & poopy food), so I put on weight due to not eating right (I knew this was going to happen, its how the body works, so I wasn't down, when I had to up my pant size).. But I knew I had lost again, BUT this time it was healthier weight I have lost!! I'm more active as well (quit baseball with work, long story), as my friends keep making me run hard during frisbee (we suck at throwing lol).

Here in the US, a size 13 is a junior size (like a younger women's size, if I had to make an age range...maybe something from teen- twenties???) determination. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13....I think you get it, right?

The even numbers, 2, 4, 6, 8, etc., are the ladies sizing.....so, all my suits are in even sizes, my dress slacks, same thing.

For instance, at my ripe age, I prolly wouldn't be seeing any size 11 clothes in my closet anymore, since I tend to buy mostly from the ladie's dept. If I wanted some younger, hip, clothes, I might look in the junior's.

Does that make sense?
