As mentioned, I’m a M in Target leggings though I weigh approximately 179 and I’m 5’3. Pear shape - All thighs, zero butt, small waist/ribcage (s-xxs tops).

I am a 2 in street sizing and wear a 4 in Lulu leggings, including Align. In the past few years I’ve ranged between 107-125 lbs and they always fit fine, but I’d be more likely to size up than down in most Lululemon products. If you’re an M in Target leggings, I’d start with a size 8 and 10 and see which feels better. If it’s feasible to order both and return one pair, I’d do that.
But look at the pic, she doesn't look like she's squeezing down several sizes. She doesn't have a small waist and although stretchy the Aligns are not THAT forgiving.

That’s the thing, I think they are. Especially if you’re just evaluating what you can fit into (i.e., can pull over your butt).
My sister is about 5’1” and 145 lbs, and I’m 5’4” and 115. We buy the same size. I’m confident I’m wearing the right size - I wear them to run so am definitely not wearing leggings that are too loose.
What is your LLL size?
