Great thread... What I find odd is.. I am 5'4... in high school I thought I was just so fat.. I was 145 lbs and my size was a 13.. From the looks of the way clothes is made now I could be in a single digit if I ever see 145 again. lol
I am between 251 and 255 right now and I wear a 20 but it is tight.
( I am pear shaped I think) I carry my weight all over..

I am 5'4", weigh 130, and wear a size 6 jean. i have wide-ish hips. i wear a size medium shirt (sometimes small).
i used to be a size 12 and have to wear a large or extra large shirt.

hmm im from australia but i converted my size.
so
weight: 172lbs
height:5 /7.5 ft
size: 10/12

Ive lost 29 lbs and stil wear the same size...now it actually fits! i THINK i was in denial...maybe..defintaly..yes!

I'm 34
5'6
170 lb
Size 11-12
Hourglass shape

(but at 155 lb I wore size 9/10, and 135 lb wore 6/7/8)

~CGH~

When I was 256lbs I wore a size 20-22 depending. Now that I'm around the 220s I'm in an 18.

Well, i started at 210 wearing size 16pants...im 29 (arrgh), 5'5, 140lbs and size 4/6. My starting bodyfat was 38% and i'm 19.5% now!

boy this is interesting - height makes so much of a difference. i'm 28 years old- i'm about 245 lbs and i am 5'2" i range between a size 22-24.

I agree.... height does make a difference ~Sometimes makes me wish I was taller....But we are what we are. Wish I was in my 20's still for sure But we are what we are ARGH! LOL!

I'm 23
5'3
190
Size 14

i am 5'5 and weigh 138 and 6/8 in pants, a 29 or 30 in designer jeans, and small shirts. im happy with my body and sizes, just working on toning and losing maybe a couple of lbs.

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!!
