I am currently between a 16 and 18 depending on the brand and am 5'5 in height. They feel better if they stretch too! LOL :D

I am 33, weigh 267, am 5'6 and wear a size 22.

I am apple shaped though and carry my weight in my stomach.....I can fit my legs and butt into a 16 but not the front part lol.

I'm 26, five feet tall, 130 lbs and wear an 8 in jeans and a medium top.

But, my sister who is 15, five feet and 130 lbs wears a size 4. She's naturally very muscular.

I'm 5'2" (or maybe slightly shorter).
Currently 173.
My size 14 jeans (Old Navy) fit well, but everything has to be hemmed because my legs are so stinkin' short!

I definitely carry lots of weight in the top and waist, but no so much on the bottom. My shirts are all 14/16s, or XL or even XXL (depending on store). I have a pretty large "chestal area" as my friend would say. :) Button gapping can be an issue.

This thread is a great idea, but I've pretty much determined that the only way I'm ever going to know what size I can wear at a certain weight is to get there myself!!

Hello: Iam 5'5 123-126 and 40 (April :?:) and I wear a 4/6 sometimes 8.

Yup, Height makes a HUGE difference. My friend who is a shorty @ 5'4" weighs 210 pounds, wears a 20-22. I'm a lot heavier and taller than her and I wear a 20, and can squeeze into a size 18. At 210 pounds I'm assuming I'll be in a much smaller size.
At 350lbs, I was a size 24.

I am 47 5'7" 238 and my 20w a.n.a slacks are loose I am going to take them in I picked them because they are simple looking the pockets are about 4" deep and will be easy to take in on the sides, Victoria

High weight, 360, 32 top 30 bottom

Lowest adult weight, @ 180, very loose 16 (really a 14)

I am female

Wow! So many different sizes, yet all are such beautiful women!

I am 30. Female.
Height 5'9"
Weight 215
I have an hour glass/pear shape. (thick thighs & ghetto booty)

It really doesn't matter what size you are in, what matters is how it fits. I learned that from Stacey & Clinton (TLC's What Not To Wear). You find clothes that look great & have them tailored to fit!
I wear some 14's, some 16's & some 18's. I have to have all my jeans tailored so the will fit my waist & not have that gap in the back. My tops are usually L to XL depending on the maker.
When I was 145 I was in a 10. (Approx 9 years ago)
When I was 185 I wore a 13/15 (in Cruel Girl Jeans). (got down approx 3 years ago)
When I was 130 - I was too darn skinny & that was too long ago! (I was 15)

Im 20 and 5'7

currently 175 in a comfortable size 10
lowest 155 which was a big 8

for some reason i can weigh a lot more but still be pretty small sizes...which is why bmi makes me so angry, i can squeeze into 8s right now but bmi tells me i am like in the middle of the overweight range. to be healthy i have to be like a 6 and id be a gaunt like 0 at the other end of that healthy range. oy.

Female
31
5'5"
155 lbs
size 10 and some 8's, size 30 in designer jeans, and size medium/small shirts

I'm trying to get back down to 150. I wear mostly 8's at that weight and small shirts. I'm an hourglass shape and I carry my weight all over. At my high weight (212-230) I was wearing a size 18-20 and 1X.

I read through this thread and I got to thinking, Dang, I've been through a lot of sizes. I'm 5'5'' hourglass shape:
113 lbs. = size 3
120 lbs. = size 5
130 lbs. = size 7
166 lbs. = size 12, this is my current size
175 lbs. = size 14
185 lbs. = size 16
I have always had big boobs, so shirts can be difficult no matter what size. I've found that Gap and J. Crew do not account for breasts.

I'm mid 30's
5'7"
175 lbs
size 14 pants, size 12 tops

I am a 46 year old femaile
I am 6'1" (yuppers- over 6' tall-ugh!)
I tend to carry my weight everywhere except my boobs, of which I have very little
I weight 293 and I currently wear a size 22 in jeans
I still wear a 24 top, just because my upper arms are large.-yuck

Is anyone else here 6 feet tall?

- just giving an update - I am now 286 lbs and wearing a size 20 :-)

it totally depends on your body type. I'm 5'8". At 255 I wore 18's, Now at 240 I wear 16's, but can still manage my 18's with a belt. At my lowest, 170, I wore a 12. My body isn't meant to be smaller than that! :]

Hi-
I'm 22, 5'7, about 330 lbs.... and I wear a 24, maybe 26, depending on who who makes the jean. Though lane byrant's special sizing, the perfect fit jeans, doesn't give an exact size. 6 blue circle. It's a weird sizing. lol... at my lowest at 170-180 I wore a size 14.

age 51, height 5'4", weight 122, size 2-6, depending on the brand.
:D

age: 31
height: 5' 6"
current weight: 196
current pant size: 14

Great thread--we as women have been 'taught' to be secretive about our weights and sizes, so we never undestand what 'real' women weigh, what someone else with our height weighs, what someone with our weight but a different height weighs. I was shocked to find out that two friends/co-workers--whose bodies I envy!--weighed the same as me. Exactly the same! (In fact, this was several months ago, so now I weight 5 pounds less!) One is a couple inches taller than me, the other is a good 5 inches taller than me. But I considered their weights 'unattainable.' Simply because I convinced myself that I was still overweight, and they were 'perfect.' Funny how our minds work, and how we distort our perceptions. :dizzy:

I'm 5'1, 31 years old, hourglass shape.
I'm 125 pounds. My Calvin Klein jeans are a 6, I have a couple skirts that are a size 4, and my tops are now small or medium. I bought a jacket a couple weeks ago in a size 4.
At my highest weight, when I was very out of shape (meaning, I had little muscle mass and high body fat), I was 162 pounds and a size 16.
In June, I was 142 pounds and bought a dress in a size 12, and bought pants in a size 10.
In September, I weighted 132 pounds and bought pants in a size 8.

Great thread! :)

Just updating :
Ok when I first started this thread I was 228lbs
Wearing a 18 To 17jr.

(of course still 5' 5" and Female age 33)

I am now 221.6 and I am fitting into a size 16 now

I'm 46, 5'3" & weigh about 141 pounds (on Friday, I was 140.7).

I wear a petite medium or size 10 generally, though I'm a size 12 in my 80s vintage suits & dresses.

When I shop in the smaller, more costly designer stores in Manhattan, I'm a large. (Yeah, I lost over 100 pounds & am still "L" to some sales clerks.)

Age 20.
My highest weight and size where 274, size 24, 4X shirt.

I'm now 202, size 18 (never thought I would be so happy about that), XXL shirt. HOWEVER my size 18 jeans are really big so I'm trying on some 16 Wednesday. :D

Oh and I'm 5'4.

Lori, congratulations. You are doing so, so well. I would really love to PM sometime about what exactly you are eating, drinking, sleeping and exercising and compare notes. You are gonna do it--well, you already are. But yep, you're gonna do it.

I'm 39

I am 5'8"
33yrs old, I wear Misses sizes(i have succumbed to the fact I am too old for Jr clothing)
at 200-sz12 and 14
at 190-sz12
at 180-sz10 and 12

Willow I like the fit of the Jr size jeans And some of the tops.
I am 33 also....But I agree that some of them are to young for us.
(But I wanna wear them anyways when I am able because I was heavy when I was younger and didn't get to wear any cool clothes LOL!)

lol


I thought that when i lost all my weight, I would shop Jr's but I watch a lot of What Not To Wear and that got me out of that mind set. Jr's doesn't do 2 things, make room for hips or make room for boobs. I have had 3 kids and my bra size is 38DDD so they won't work for me heehee. I did become pickier about wear I shop. I shop a Fashion Bug, Kohls and New York and Company. Oh and Ross Dress For Less. Those are my favorite places for cute Misses clothes that don't look like they are for an old lady.
