What size pants do you wear?
Okay I know it seems like a weird question. But I'm amazed when I see that a 200 lb person can wear a size 14 pants. Am I so large boned or built strange? I weigh 205 and just wear a size 18. Not too loose or too tight.
What size pants do you wear? What did you weigh when you fit into that size? Just curious.

I am 5 feet tall and I wear a very baggy size 24 pants. I am still wearing the same pants as when I started. But they were tighter!

Oh my! That's like asking a woman her age! Just kidding! I wear a size 24 jean. I was in a size 26 when I started this. I'm losing inches on my butt and thighs, but my stomach is still pretty large. This keeps me from moving down to the next size.

I think it has something to do with where we carry our weight. I've heard of people shorter than me and heavier who can wear a smaller size. When my DD weighed 168, she wore a size 8. She's 1/2 inch taller than I am. I usually wear a size 12, and occasionally wear a size 10. My goal is to get into a size 8, but I'll be okay if I can just consistently wear a size 10.

I'm currently 215-ish, and my 16s are a bit loose but 14s are still too tight! When I got down to 200lbs, though, I was comfortably wearing size 14s.
The weird thing is, I'm an apple. I carry my weight in my abdomen. Maybe I'm just more muscular than I realize?

I was a loose 24 and could still get into 22's when i first started, but I am now at size 20, and im 5'6 240, but all my weight is in my gut which overlaps into the hips, and my inner thighs are bad too.

I'm mostly bottom heavy and I wear size 18 plus and I can fit into some size 18 misses but they are still a little too tight to wear.
Edited to add - On top, I'm a misses size XL and even bought some size L shirts recently and they fit fine.

I dunno, it's either 26 or more. I haven't worn jeans in over a year and I wear these extra large black stretch pants with an elastic waist band. I have a pair of jeans in a size 20 that I'm hoping to fit into after a while. Right now, I'm even afraid to go to a store, even Lane Bryant. I'm so sure nothing will fit me there.

I wear a size 22 pants. I am heavier up top though and wear a 26/28 top (although they are getting pretty loose!)

Dawn, Lane bryant goes up to a size 28. Avenue goes up to size 32. Maybe take your waist and hip measurements, then compare them to size charts on Lane Bryant's website to get an idea of what size you would wear?
