Tough call because I hate tight/fitted shirts. LOL I'm just about 5' 3.5" tall and large framed...and right now I wear 4X-5X in tops, a 44-46DD, and a 1X-2X in bottoms. I have some really old Roaman's tops that are a 3X and still fit really comfortably, though. I'm hoping to be able to squeeze into a size 10-12 (both for tops and bottoms) within the next year.

I will never be in anything smaller than a size 14 pants due to my hips, and for the shirts I will never get below size 16 due to my broad back and shoulders. (these are the sizes I wore when I was at my healthiest & lightest weight).
Wow, I'm 269 and I wear a size 24! That's IT I must have the biggest hips on earth!

Women:

height over 5' 5"
small = wrist size less than 6.25"
medium = wrist size 6.25" to 6.5"
large = wrist size over 6.5"

Darn, I always thought I was "big-boned", turns out I'm not! I've just always had well-padded bones.

I'm 5' 3" and can wear a tight 14 or 16 jeans and atleast a 1x top. I have no idea what I weigh. I've been dieting for 3 weeks now and am just happy to be able to wear the jeans I have! Its been stretch pants for sooo long here.

I have never worn a top smaller than a 14 because I wear a 38 DD bra and its a really tight fit, even when I weighed in at 117 before I married again (well it was a 34 DD then). Its a family curse.

I would like to be able to wear my size 7 shorts that my husband is so fond of before my 10 year wedding anniversary next July (2007).

I do not have a scale and cannot get one. I become a slave to the scale and refuse to eat if the answer I get is not what I want.. Several years ago when dieting I became so obsessed with every morsel of food I ate that my hair began falling out. I would wake up and weigh myself and then not eat anything for days at a time. It was scary and I'm not sure I have beaten that mindset. So for now, no scale for me. Just clothing sizes to try to fit into slowly....and hopefully a more healthy approach to my body.

I would much rather have larger hips than a larger belly. At least larger hips is 'womanly', larger belly is just....well LARGE.

5' 8"
At my heaviest (233) I was wearing 2x and they were tight.
At 146 I'm wearing size 6 & 8, depending upon manufacturer. <insert happy dance here!> I AM large boned (can palm a basketball!)/large framed and never in my WILDEST dreams (and they can get pretty wild - nudgenudge, winkwink) did I ever dream I'd be wearing single digit clothes.
