belezura 08-10-2009 02:24 PM

Last time I went to the store I was about 130ish and I bought shorts size 2.
I even tried the size zero and it did fit, but I thought it was too tight and I would not feel comfortable on it.

I am 36 female
5’4”

Don't let Size necessarily dictate your success
 
Years ago after I lost all of my weight, I started off as a 14/15 Jr. my friend that weighed 10 pounds more wore a size smaller. That still holds true today. I have friends that are leaner some are larger and yet the sizes are all over the board. I'm quick to remind my clients to be careful about trying to reach a certain size as every designer, manufacturer sizes clothes differently.

Congrats on your success so far!

I'm female (obviously;)), just turned 23, over 5'6" but under 5'7", around 135 pounds, and what size I wear REALLY depends on the designer! I shop in SO many different places and not all sizes were created equal.

I wear a 5-7 in most juniors things (occasionally a 9) and Pac Sun stuff. I wear a 4 in Abercrombie & Fitch, a 6 in American Eagle, a 4 (sometimes a 6) in Gap, a 27 in Silver, a 28 in 7 for All Mankind, a 3-5 in Wet Seal, and *GASP* a TWO in Banana Republic and NY&CO. HOWEVER, due to all the muscle mass in my legs (and trust me, I see striations, so it IS muscle), it can be tough finding pants that fit me sometimes -- on certain occasions, I have to buy bigger sizes just to get 'em over my legs. I've bought 8's, 10's, and even 11's that fit just fine in certain places.

I agree about not letting size dictate your success. I have plenty of friends who "appear" to be "fatter" than I am yet they wear smaller sizes. I've never been below a 2-4 even at my TINIEST (105-115 range for awhile -- I looked like a junkie and was very unhealthy, I also had perpetual dark circles and sunken eyes) because my hips and bone structure just won't allow it.

5'2
190 lbs.
16 (but they are loose)

Some clothing stores / lines (like NY and Company) have vanity sizing where the tag says 14 but the clothes are actually cut for a 16 or 18, etc.

And then there is the issue of the cut of certain tops. I wear an extra large right now in order to fit around my midsection but the shoulder and chest sections are hopelessly large. Not enough boob and too much belly. :)

napalmtree 08-20-2009 02:00 AM

Female, 22, 5'1 and 183ibs. I wear size 14 at Old Navy, but I think they put smaller size labels on bigger pants. At Torrid, um...size 14 for my Torrid brand capris and dickies brand jeans. I have size 16 jeans from New York and Co. BUT I bought them last year and I think they only fit because they're stretched out from wearing them. :/

madison27 08-20-2009 02:07 AM

Napalmtree,

Love your avatar! :)

I am a female, 5'4", and wear a size 14. yuck:(

I am wanting to get into a size 5, be a lean 125, and be 2 inches taller :)

Well, I know I can atleast reach 2 of the three goals I have set. :)

imaninjadangit 08-20-2009 02:26 AM

Napalmtree....I actually giggled at your avatar. :p

I am 28 years young.
I am 270ish...haven't weighed myself on a good scale in a while.
I am 5'5".
I wear a 23 in Levi Strauss...24 or 22 in other pants. 24 is my biggest.
Bra size is 44 H. Yeah...that's where a lot of weight is.
I have an hourglass shape...if the guy who blew the hourglass sneezed while he was blowing into the pipe. :D

hmm, I'm the same height as you. When I weighed 240ish pounds I wore size 20s-22s. I noticed our goal weights are different, you'll probably be the size I want to be when you are 160. Shows how different we all are.

tiggycat 09-10-2009 09:02 AM

I'm 5'0" and at this height a few pounds makes a difference. Right now I'm 164 and can still fit into some of my 12s but they are snug. I'm gained weight quickly during my menopause years, so I still have in my closet 6s (fit when I was low 130s), 8s (up to 140 or so), 10s (up to high 140s) and 12s (look better at mid 150's). I probably would look better in 14s right now but I can't bring myself to go up yet another size!

thistime140 09-10-2009 09:43 AM

I am 38, and currently weigh 210...and a size 18, although in Lee jeans I can wear a 16, but they are a bit snug. At my higest weight of 225, I wore a 22, and my thinnest...130- I wore a size 8. My goal is to weigh 140..that is achievable and maintainable...which puts me into size 10/12.
I am 5'4 +

reneekicksfat 09-10-2009 12:15 PM

Hiya! I'm 45, 5'1", at my heaviest weight of 183 I was in a 14/16. I am 135 now and in a 4/6.

Tip for all of you "losers" out there! Save money on transition clothes by going to thrift stores, and dept. store sale racks. I found basic black pants - sometimes on sale for $3, and bought them in every size the had - 10, 8, 6, 4 - it was a blast looking forward to getting them to fit, and at 3 bucks a pop... still less than a new pair of pants.

Sales are going on now to get rid of summer items... get those skinny pants NOW for next summer.

I dont' have to many clothes that fit right now but I got new pants from Banana Republic size 14 & size 14 Essential jeans from the Gap.

My weight is well proportioned but if I had to choose Apple or Pear shape I'd say Apple.

And I now wear a size 10 and I'm just starting to fit in to a size 8 in some brands.

I will revisit this thread again in 3 months :D

Another 3 months have gone by...

I'll be 33 on the 20th, still 5'6"

And I now wear a size 6 at most stores, my 2 favs Banana Republic & the Gap. I just bought a pair of jeans from Old Navy, Sweetheart boot cut, size 4. I know 150 in a size 4, nuts right but I'm very muscular. Weightlifting has completely changed my body :strong:

But I've had 14's forever. They were a tight fit at 211, seem to fit okay at 190, and still fit at 175. So... WHO KNOWS!

Okay, update. Still 5'10", female.
I'm now around 164ish (according to cheat peaks at the scale!) and in a 12. 10's are still WAY too small on me though some 12's are a little too big.. so I think in 5-10 pounds I'll safely be a 10. In juniors I can wear 13 and have it just be a little tight.
Tops are M if it's regular, L if it's juniors.
So...
Misses: M, 12
Juniors: L, 13
