I am doing feeder calcs for a new panel . I have several motors which all have individual branch circuits. I also have other continuous loads which are located in the same panel. All motors are single phase 208. My question is do I size feeder conductors at 125%?

there are some exceptions which could change the answer see 430.24

Thanks. Here is some more info. I have 5 motors on individual branch circuits . All motors are single phase 208. Art. 430.22 states that branch circuits suppling single motors shall be rated @ 125 % . Do I calculate these 125% loads in to the panel feeders????

You aren't required to take all the motors at 125%, just the largest. See 430.24, and if you have the Handbook, read the commentary after 430.24.
