This is so crazy to see the variation. I am just below 200 and am comfortably wearing my 18 long Jcpennys St johns bay jeans. I dont think they are Womens Plus b/c they didnt have the long length. They are quite baggy. Who know how much they may have shrunk since I got them 2 years ago. I am kinda an apple shape when Im heavier. But more of a ruler when I am slimmer.

I'm 5'10 and my highest weight last year was 389lbs and a size 30/32. Right now I'm sitting at 291lbs. Not sure of my size though. I have been living in South Korea for a year now and they don't have anything close to my size so usually I have my mom buy clothes and send them over to me. The last pants she sent were 24's and they are really baggy on me now and I have to wear a belt (that is too big for me now too). I am trying to make the 24's last me six more weeks til i go home to the USA and can try on clothes and buy some that actually fit me. For now, on Sunday I tried on a pair of capris from Torrid that are a size 22 and they fit me (a little snug in the butt though).

I'm 5ft 8, 206lbs and a UK size 16 (in tops) and 18 (in bottoms.) So that would be a US size 12/14. I am a pear.

Hi Farn...
I am5'8.5", 170 lbs now and my 10's are snug, but 12's getting too big. When I was 148lbs two summers ago I was wearing size 4 and 6. (Even had a pair of size two's ...probably the only reason I bought them)

I'm 5'6" and am most comfortable in a 22. I like very loose clothes though. I weigh as of today 227. I suppose I am apple shaped. Big breasts, big belly and big rear.

At my highest weight of 257 I was a size 22 it took a while to get into a 20 and then 18 it was sooo frustrating lol then at my lowest weight of 185 I was a size 16 and I could squeeze a 14 on but not wear them in public.I gained some back I'm at 200 again but I'm 5'3 wearing a size 16 and xl in shirts

I'm 5'2 166 pounds an wear a snug size 10. I had to ditch my 12s cause they were way too loose. I'm a pretty classic hourglass shape.

i love reading this! goes to show how different everyone is

im 5'6.5 and 152 lbs

at my high weight (220) i was a sz 20 and xxl in tops

now im a comfy size 10, i have a few 8s but mostly from stores that run big.
sz M in tops.

5'4" here.

At 235 I was in 20's.
At 185 I am barely in 14's.

This month, ALL my weight is coming off in my chest! The pants are not budging. But the last 15 pounds have dropped me down a shirt size to almost mediums.

5'7, apple shape (diabetic)
today I am 184 lbs and wearing a 14/16. (depends on the cut)
in the past:
at 165, a size 12/14
at 150 a size 10/12
at 135 I wore a size 6/8

I'm 5'5" and 178. I'm wearing a 14 in pants and an XL in tops (34 DDD).

I am 5'2" and weigh 197lbs and wear a 16/18
I started at a size 24 and 255lbs

I am 5'5" and 160ish and I wear a 12 from Old Navy and GAP but I think they do vanity sizing b/c in my designer jeans I am a 32 and that would be the equivalent of a 14.

I'm not sure what my body shape is, I think very slight hour glass or banana. My hips and chest are proportionate but my waist isn't as small as a true hour glass.

I'm 5'5'' or 5'6'' and 173. I'm in a size 12 in most pants and a medium or large in tops (38C).

I'm 5'7", 206#s. I used to be pear shape, but now that I'm older, I'm a fat ruler.

At 220 14's were snug, now I can fit into some 12s. My tops are usually L or XL because of my Herman Munster barrel chest (starting to shrink) and belly fat. Depending on the style of the dress a 12, 14 or 16. Brands and what country they are made in really makes such a difference.

When I was at 150 I could fit into some 8s, but I gave them all away. I'll see when I get to goal, but I have plenty of 10s and 12s waiting for me. Don't know if I'll ever fit in medium tops again.
