I agree with others in that pant sizes are so individual. At 360 lbs, I wore a 28 plus. at 330, I wore a 24 plus. at 290, I wore a 22 plus. at 260, I wore a 20 plus. at 240, I wore 18 plus. At 220, I wore 16 misses. I wear either a 14-16 misses. All my weight is in my belly/hips/butt.

I was size 16 during pregnancy. I fit loosely into size 14 now but my one best pair of size 16 jeans still fit nicely. I don't get that. But I've got several pairs of size 14s that fit loosely which is good so soon enough I'll be in a 12? Not sure.

I'm a fat busty hourglass.

256- tight 22 loose 24 3x shirt

246- tight 22

220's- 20

210's- 18 to 20 depending on brand

190's was a 16

As a teen in the 130's I was a size 13, doesn't make sense or its the whole vanity sizing thing.

I change pant sizes with every ten pounds. I am 5'.

165 16
155 14
145 12
135 10
125 8
115 6
105 4

I gave away all of my larger sizes when I lost weight. I am now 114 and in very tight size 4 pants. That is why I am here. I kept the weight off for over a year, but this past summer I started binging again and I gained some of it back. I find these forums extremely motivating.

I started at 231 lbs and a size 20. I am now down to 202 and have only went down 1 pants size, to an 18. I thought it would happen quicker, but when I stopped and though about it, I think it's the way I'm built. Even when I was skinny (by my standards anyways) I was a size 14 but I was only 140-145 lbs. I was disappointed about the fact that I've only went down 1 size, but I think it's more important to lose the pounds first, the inches & the sizes will come

I'm 5'2 and very pear shaped I started out at 215 size 18/20 and now down 20lbs I am a size 14 - i do alot of exercise so i tend to loose more inches than weight which is just fine with me

I was a 24 at 340 lbs, now I'm probably a 22 at 300.

luvja 10-07-2008 01:09 PM

And my friend whos 100 lbs less then me wears 1 size smaller then me. It all depends on YOUR body. I'm smaller at the bottom, where she has gigantic hips.

You'll get there. Look how far you have come already. I would love to trade places with you! It can get frustrating, but remember things are slowly moving in the right direction. Keep it up!

Definitely depends on your body type as others have said. I love everyone's charts. I thought I was the only one who remembered thing like this.
For me, 15 lbs per size.

Newshinyme 10-07-2008 06:20 PM

I'm about the same height as you. Aside from body shape, what I've discovered is that my sizes fit differently depending on *how* I've dropped the weight in the past.
When I have dropped the weight only by dieting, clothes fit very differently than when I did it with regular exercise. I don't remember exactly what the correlation between weight and size has been for each case, but I am certain the 2 scenarios do not match.
Right now I am just over 190, and after about 15 lbs, I am just starting to be able to fit into my tighter 16's, but the looser of the same size still fit quite well.

oneupsteph 10-07-2008 09:18 PM

I'm a loose 26 at 300, but when I use to weight 257 I was still a 24, and 22s were too tight.

The new LB system is confusing as **** anyway, so it's a wonder I even know numbers anymore! :dizzy:

I'm pretty confused about weight and pant sizes; I don't think I work on the same tiers as other people. Here's my history:

288-250ish size 22
250-220ish size 20
220-200 size 18
190 (my smallest) size 16

JulieJ08 10-07-2008 10:50 PM

Kelly, I don't often seem to be the same size as others my height and weight either.

18: higher 180s and up to about 200 I'd guess
16: lower 170s and 180s
14: ~155-172
12: ~154 and down
10: ~137 and up (can't remember what weight I went from 10 to 12)
8: ~128-136

Like others, I have a smaller weight range at smaller sizes.
