  • I know every person's body is different... so I was wondering what a size 16 or 18 person would weigh??? So I can get an idea of how much I would weigh at a 16.. i'm in a 18 and im 5'6 ... Thanks



    Update: Thank you so much for all of your responses it really helped me.. looks like I can narrow it down to be a size 16 I would have to be around 200... great 29 pounds to go! I'm looking forward to wearing 16's havent wore that size in 4 years!
  • I was a comfortable size 16 at 195, and I'm 5' 6" too. But I think I tend to wear bigger sizes than most people my weight b/c of my ghetto booty
  • It's been so long since then but i'm gonna guess i was about 180 when i was a size 16.
  • I can wear size 16 now but they are really baggy. I am 5'2 and weigh 173 pounds. A better fit for me is 14/15.
  • I'm currently wearing a size 18 and I'm 202-203. I have pretty large hips so I've always been bigger in jean sizes. Oh and I'm 5'2".
  • Height is a major variable here so you might want to include that in your question.

    Otherwise, I can say that I was a size 16 when I was 215 lbs. I'm also 5'11" so that plays a big part.
  • I'm 5'3" and I was a size 18 at 203 last time down. (Of course, then life happened and I gained back 60 pounds... but that's a different story.)
  • I was wearing 16s when I was at around 165-170 at 5'5.5". I carried a lot of my weight in my tummy, so often had to size up higher than some others.
  • I was in size 16 for a long time. During that time, my weight ranged from ~185 to 192. A few months ago, around 185 pounds, I was able to fit in size 14.
  • Im 5'3 and weigh 219 right now and i wear a size 14 (in old navy brand clothing)...it just depends on how your body is and how the clothes are made.
  • I was in an 18 at 190-195...I'm 5' 3" and tend to carry the majority of my weight in my stomach. Right now I'm at 229 and I can fit in an XL in tops sometimes...which is annoying!
  • I'm bottom heavy and when I say 16, I mean my bottoms which are the biggest part of me. I am 5'6" but wear a 16 petite (current weight 212). When I get closer to 200, I wear a size 14. Also, I can wear 14 short because petite pants are actually a size down, if that makes sense. So I'd say if you are asking about a true 16, I was probably around 230.

    Yup! I agree. Height is a huge factor. I am 5'9" and at 215, I am fitting into 16's comfortably. At 230, MOST of my 16's were way too tight...

    I will have to get down to 200 b/f I can wear 14's.
    170 - 180 = 12 and I don't think I will EVER get back to 10's.
  • I'm 5'6 3/4" and weigh 185 now and am size 16.

    And I'm a total hourglass figure.
  • I'm 5'6" and wearing Khol's 16s now (at 191). I've been wearing them (less comfortably) since about 200, and was wearing Lane Bryant jeans before them. Hips, I haz em.
