I love these kinds of threads! It's always interesting to see how everyone is built SO differently...
For me:
Currently 218 lbs
Size L-XL for shirts (as it's been said, it really depends on the brand!). Sometimes the 14/16 size at LB or Avenue will fit ok, but usually they're too big... So maybe I'm more like a 12/14, but I'm not sure (I've always been a little smaller on top than on bottom).
Loose size 16 in jeans... The last time I bought jeans, I could fit into a size 14 in
one brand and it made me pretty excited!
But I haven't been to a store in a while, so I might be a size 14 by now. Who knows?!
And I don't really wear other kinds of pants, ha.
I am very blessed that I carry my weight pretty well... I think I carry the bulk of my weight in my thighs, which means that I have a pretty nice waist and my stomach is almost-kinda-sort flat.
I can't wait to be a 14!!
*Edit* My beginning stats, just for kicks!
I started at 263 lbs, a pretty solid size 18, though some of my pants were a little loose. I was also a pretty solid XL/1X (or 14/16) in shirts! It's so cool to see how loose some of my clothing has gotten... And to see that I can finally actually wear the stuff that I couldn't resist buying, but could never fit into!
