Weight, height, clothing size?
 

I saw someones weight and size in a post and it was completely different than mine. I was wondering what everyone is and if there is anyone close to me. Right now at 240 I'm a size 16 bottoms and XXL/XL top. At 200 I was a loose size 12 and L. At about 190 I was a size 10 and M. I never got any lower than that.

Oh and I'm 5'11.

I've often wondered that myself!
 

It must be where the weight gets put. I'm 5'10 too, 213lbs and in a 16, XL. It will be interesting to see what everyone says!

Yeah, I have no butt, hips or boobs but a big belly and thick chest.

Well, I'm 143 lbs, 5'2", a 12 (maybe 10) in pants and a medium in shirts. I'm not sure if the pant size is right, because I haven't tried on clothes in a while. (I really need to get some new ones, mine are getting pretty loose!)

This girl I work with wears the same size as me, is 1 inch taller than me (I'm 5'8" and she's 5'9"), but I weigh 258, and she weighs 230. We both carry weight the same way, and have the same body type. I think people can just carry their weight in such different ways that you really can't compare yourself against someone else. Not to menntion comparing stores.. it amazes me sometimes the difference in sizes between stores! At the gap I wear a size 16, and at Old Navy, I'm in a size 20! That makes no sense!

Hmm... this is an interesting question. Well, right now I am about 211 pounds and 5' 5" and wear a size 16 pants. I am quite large in the chest area and wear a 1x top. When I weighed much less, around 150 pounds I still wore a size 14. Weird, I think.

This is actually really interesting.. Im 5ft7 and 220.. I wear a 18 pants, I could go 16's honestly.. But Im staying in 18 until Im completely comfy in the 16's.. And I wear a XL top.. I have no butt.. Honestly have no hips, but I do carry alot of my weight in my belly

Well all my weight is in my butt, hips, and legs! :( I'm 5'7, 239.5 lbs, pear shape. I wear an 18 jeans (getting looser everyday) and feel more comfortable in a loose fitting top so I usually go for xl or even xxl. I would LOVE to be able to get into a size 14 jeans! It's been forever! Though when I was down to 200 lbs a few years ago - I wore a 14 and looked pretty good I thought. :)

I'm loving the way my clothes are getting looser and I agree with one of the previous posters - about probably being able to get into a 16 but I want to feel good in them - so I'll wait awhile longer.

I've noticed this too. Although I found old navy to be unpredictable. One pair of jeans I can fit into a 12 but others the 16s barely fit me. Shirts I've bought everything from a XL to a XXL.

Not knowing my exact weight back then, because I never bothered with a scale LOL, I was somewhere over 240 pounds and 5' 6". Perhaps even 250 lbs. I wore a size 20 to 24, depending on how it was made. I averaged around a 22, all the way around. My weight was pretty evenly distributed.

Now that I've lost weight, I'm a bit bottom heavy. While I wear a 4/6 (small) top, I generally take a size 8 (medium) in pants.

This is interesting..
 

Hi..

I am 5'8", 185 lbs. - large frame. Big boobs, big belly. I wear a size 12 or 10 pants (depending on where they're from - oddly enough, my Old Navy jeans are 10). I wear an XL in tops - I am pretty top-heavy.

I have the belly problem- never lost that darn pregnancy weight! SO i AM 250ish and dont like tight-fitting clothes (and i have a large chest) so i take a 3X top, but sixe 18 pants... stretch kind. otherwise, the 20's butt is too big and thighs are too wide. I am lucky my bottom isnt big as well, but its still hard to find nice-fitting clothes. I swear, everything I own now is from Lane Bryant! They make a fortune off of me!!! :lol:

Clothing size can also have a lot to do with "where" you shop. I've just started hunting down maternity clothing. I'm a Wal*Mart/K-Mart shopper. Clearance racks are my thing...cheap is definately my thing. Even if they're cheaper made, I outgrow my like of something quicker than I can wear it out. So it's better for me to stay with cheap. But I'm finding a problem in the maternity section. Not much of a selection at all. And I bought a size small in a pair of black cloth pants from K-Mart and they just kinda fall off of me.

So I tried JC Penny the other day and bought a load of maternity clothes. They weren't a whole lot more, but I actually found some dress pants and they fit much better. However, for a good comfy fit, I had to get mediums in the pants. While the K-Mart small needs a belt to stay up. They should all get on the same page.

Try OldNavy....their clearance sections have some cheap maternity clothes!

great post!!

at my lightest i was 132 wearing size 9/10 skirts, 11 jeans, medium to large tops..i have big chest, big butt...defined waist...curvy latina!!

now im 227 geez that's almost 100 lbs ive gained..ugh..anyway...in lane bryant clothes i wear 14/16 tops with 18/20 pants but they fit a little big on legs but good at waist because of my stomach. size 16 fits great on legs but won't close!! ack.. regular walmart tshirts i wear xxl, ...sometimes ill buy from newport news shirts 1x there , jeans 20.

I am 5'5 and weigh 190, i use to wear a size 10 when i weighed 155, but now i wear a tighter 12 and loose 14, so im in between. My goal is to get to a size 8/9.

I'm 5'4 133 (down from 138) and in mostly 9/10. My proportions are all wacky since having 2 kids. At my smallest, I was 105-110 (size 4) and approximately 115-120 size 6 throughout college. I got up to 163 with DD2 and I'm having trouble losing that. The extra weight combined with my hips FLARING has caused my clothes in my closet to SHRINK!! In juniors, I can barely fit my batoot into a 13 stretch. In old navy, 10. In Walmart clothes - XL (how do they size that stuff???) and 12. My poundage doesn't sound like much, but take 105 from 138. that is 33 pounds I have gained in approx. 6 years. ARRGH.

I am at 233 right now and am 5'4. I wear size 18/20, XXL
Sometimes I wear a straight 18 or 16 on top. I'm pretty well proportioned, harder to tell with more weight but by the time I get back to 200lbs, I'll be more like my old hourglass.

I am kind of thick boned and always had an athletic build. Hope to get back to size 14 at 180 pounds for right now.

Girlie

All you tall people stink, lol:P jk

Im 5'1, 258, and i wear a 24 to 26, depending on where i buy my bottoms. Im more bottom heavy than top, so i wear around an XL to an XXL depending on the cut

I'm 5'3, 192 pound's, I wear a size 16 Jean's and top's Med or Large

All of this really shows that actual pounds don't matter as much as other things -- measurements, body fat, etc...

anyway i'm 5'5, 138 and i wear 6 or 8 on the bottom and a small or a medium on top. In the teeny tiny stores or in designer jeans I wear a 30, which I think is supposed to be the equivilent of a 10 but who knows they cut the clothes so small! In juniors, I don't know, probably a 7/8 or 9/10. What stores I shop in make a huge difference.

I love this! My friend and I are the same height and same weight, but she wears 20 in pants and XL in shirts and I wear a 14 in pants and a XXL in shirts. We are always saying that if I had her top or if she had my bottom, we'd be quite sexy.
About 10 years ago I weighed 137 pound, wore size 7 pants and L shirts, but marriage, college, and kids have taken care of that. Now I'm up to 225 and struggling. The think I find most frustrating is that I don't eat very much! Three meals a day if that. I just don't like to exercise and I'm having trouble combating my urge to sit down and read my books (Jude Deveraux is my passion!).

Its crazy, I look at people that weigh what I weigh and think I don't look like that. I am so bottom heavy. My thighs hips, and butt are huge compaired to my top. I'm am 18 on bottom and like a medium/large on top(not sure the number size, I mostly wear t shirts). I've lost 12lbs and I lost it all in my top my pants arn't even kind of lose. Its crazy and annoying I look at ladies with nice legs and get so jelous. but then I am thankful for other parts of my body. I guess I won't ever be totally happy.
When I was 18, I lost a lot a weight and was my smallest and even then at 180(I know thats not that small) I still barely fit a 14.
Jembers-I always want to read to and don't have the time so I found I can read while on the elyptical on my luch break and burn 800 calories. When I'm havning a good week, I lose weight, and finish a book!

This has always puzzled me but I know that everyone is built different, therefore they will wear different sizes. When I was smaller (135 lbs.) I wore a L/XL and a 12/14 pants but knew people who were the same height (5'6) as me but weighed more than me and they said they were a size 4-6. Now I wear a 16 dress/pants and anywhere from a XL to 2X shirt-only because depending on the shirt I like them big. Love wearing big sweaters and shirts with leggings in the winter the reason a 1X-2X. My DD is 5'4 and weighs 128 and wears a small-med top and a 10/11 pant. It's interesting to see the differences in sizes though.

Has anyone seen Kirstie Alley's new commercial where she says she has lost 30 lbs. now? Just curious what everyone's thought is on that as she said when she started she was at 210 I believe.

Anyway, good thread. :)

Hi, I'm not a regular on this forum but this thread is interesting . . . I'm 5'4", 153 at the moment. I haven't gone shopping for pants since I started dieting (I was squeezing into a 14 at 185lbs), but I think I'm on the small side of a size 12 now. For tops, I wear L or XL depending on the cut, since my boobs are too big (if not for them, I'd fit into a medium!). At my smallest (when I was 13-14 years old, haha) I was about 115-120 and I wore size 7 on the bottom and medium on top.

It's totally about measurements, not pounds. Had I been as diligent about exercising as a teenager as I am now, I probably would have fit into a smaller size (I always had a flabby belly!).

I'm 5'5", 141. I wear jean size 6. I used to wear pants size 12 tight at 173 lb. At this time I can wear size medium shorts and tight small sport top (Nike). My boops get a lot smaller after I lose weight :( from 34C to loose 34B). I feel like no breasts. since my tummy still big compare to my breast. I lost 3 inches from my hips (38") and can pull up size 4 pants but still could not zip up at tummy and very tight on thighs. :o

I'm fit in size 6 tankinis and can put on speedo size 4 (but a bit tight). Hope to get in there soon.

Oh I'm not fit well in express/ limited pants size 6, still tight on thigh. I think I have thigh problem. Need to work on them more.

Most of the brand dress, I can't wear size 6 formal dress yet but some brands I can fit perfectly, so confusing me a bit. So I think I'm still a size 6-8 not a real size 6.

Hi all. I am 5'9" and weight 280 (my scale not doctors) and I wear a 2x and size 22T.

What makes this even more tricky is how much variation there is from one clothing line to the next. I've read that some upscale designers are a little more generous, and that overall what used to be a '12' years ago is now a 14, for example, to deal with our vanity. I'm 5'6", with a bit of a waist and big boobs, hips and thighs. I can always find clothes that fit on the 22 rack, but some 20s are plenty big, and I can't wear some 22s at all. Pants tend to run short, but most talls are way too long.

Don't get me started on the bra problem! I will enjoy shopping sooooo much more in a couple of years...

this is so interesting... I'm 5'10", 230, medium build, and a 16 pants/XL top... i'm very curvy, which is nice, but still generally big all over... I was a 14 for awhile, w/ my weight between 200 and 220.... I was a 12 in high school, weight 170... why did I think I was fat lard then??? lol! I shop at gap, old navy, banana (for work), belk, etc... My goal size is a 10... I like some junk in the trunk... lol!

I love this thread........Well, I am 5'6" and 172 lbs. I'm now fitting into a size 12 for pants/skirts and a M or L for shirts depending on the cut and material.....At my heaviest 231 lbs. I was wearing a size 20 and XL/XXL shirts.....
It sure is different how we are all shaped and carry our weight, I guess thats what makes life so ineteresting............ Andrea

I can't believe the differences, I am 211 (5"3) and in a 20/22 pants (probable should be in an 18 but afraid to show the lumps) and a XXL in shirts the lowest I have been in 4 yrs was 170 and still didn't get under a size 16.

I am currently 145, 5'4" and in a size 8 or 10, depending on the style of bottoms. I usually wear a M or L in the shirts. I would really like to be in a 6 by the time I finish losing my weight.

I'm 240, 5'10, 16 bottom, xxl'xl top....but that may be changing....I think I'm pregnant.

Wow this is pretty suprising, I'm 5'5 and weight 218. I wear an 18 and at least a 1x top. I am very top heavy and have big hips too. :o Most of my weight is up top or in my legs hips and butt.. gee thats everywhere!! Guess I have a lot of work to do :lol:

ok.. so do I just jump in????
 

this is all new to me... not trying to lose weight, but meeting with a bunch of girls online... so here I go :lol:

Right now I'm 226, 5'3" and I wear a 16/18 and L-XL tops. After I had my dd I was 221 (once I lost the inital weight) and I was in 20-22 and XL-XXL tops. Before having DD I was 196 and a size 11/L tops but after having her I got down to 186 and I was still in a 14/16. My lowest weight I was 140-145 and in a 7/8 M-L tops (some smalls). I'm heavy on bottom and since having my DD my hips have spread more.

I'm 5'7" and 210 and other than my 40D chest, I carry my weight pretty evenly over my entire body. I wear a 16-18 in jeans and an XL top. And all I can say about Kirstie Alley is that if she weighed 210 at her highest, I'm Queen Elizabeth. I would guess around 300. I weigh 210 and I'm only about half her size.

Actually though, if I look at myself objectively, I would only guess I weigh 180ish. I don't know if that means I have a higher percentage of natural muscle mass (just started working out, so it would have to be natural) or really small bones, or what exactly, but even my mother (who is really outspoken and always tells the truth, even if its painful) doesn't believe I weigh what I do. I guess that's a good thing.

I am 297 lbs and about 5'8 and wear a size 24 now and 2x tops!

currently i am 242 lbs, 5'6" and i wear a size 20 or 22 bottoms and an xl t-shirt. sometimes the top size is differetn from store to store or style to style. the smallest i've been that ican remember is a size 18 bottoms at 220 lbs. i carry most of my weight on my stomach but i also have a good ammount everywhere else too. LOL

Interesting thread!

I'm 5'4", 150 lbs., on a smallish frame. I can wear small/medium tops, and am a 10/12 on bottom. In fact, I have a huge vanity problem, and I won't buy bottoms if I have to wear anything bigger than a 10! At my smallest (125 lbs., and that was too small and too hard to maintain), I wore size 6.
