5'9" 198 pounds, 14-16 US pants. L/XL tops depending on maker. I always say I have a lifegaurd's body striving to be an hourglass. Broad shoulders, medium chest, pretty straight through the midsection, just a little bit of booty. But better curves now that I've had two babies. =)
5'3" @320lb size 24 and now at current weight 290's still 24. But I am not sure what shape I am since having a kid. My butt is HUGE and I carry a lot of weight in my thighs (always have).
335 6 feet tall, I'm wearing 2X or 24/26 tops, a 28 or 4/5X bottom. My spare tire isn't going anywhere. I've gone down for top sizes and one size on the bottom in 100 pounds!
The smallest I can remember being is a 12 - and that was at 140. I'm 5'5" - that was 20 years ago - maybe sizes have changed? (I don't live in the US anymore)
I was rocking that 12 as well. I don't think I'm meant to be really small. I'm kinda hourglass shaped and big boned.
I'm 233 as of this morning and I have some LandsEnd jeans and cords that are in size 18 US. I wear UK size 20 or 18 dresses (that's anywhere from an 18 US to a 14 US, I think) I would love to be another size down before a formal ball at the end of March so I can shop on the cheap at TK Maxx.
5'7" and 241 lbs, started at 257 in January. I'm a pretty extreme goblet shape - top heavy, big boobs, very thick around the waist with a belly. But slimmer legs and hips and no butt to speak of.
I generally have to wear stretchy pants - yoga pants generally, or low rise jeans, in order to have pants that go around the middle but aren't huge in the butt, hips and legs. I usually wear a misses XL, although they were getting very tight and now fit more comfortably. Once I lose a little bit more, I'll need to pull out my junior sized pants as the narrower cut works better for me.
I have also been amazed to find that the 15 lbs I have lost so far has been enough to go down a shirt size. I was wearing 2X and 3X, now I'm wearing my 1X and 2Xs. I lost about 65 lbs in 2011, and it took more like 30 lbs before I really needed the smaller tops.
I'm 5'4" and 245 lbs. I wear a size 20 (or 2x most places now) top and size 20 jeans.
I was size 30 in April 2012, size 28 in May 2012. Made it to size 26 in September and was size 24 in November. The last 20 lbs have taken me from 24s to 20s, especially in jeans/pants.
I feel SO FRICKIN' HUGE for my weight at this moment after reading these.
You are not alone. I'm also 5'8" and just got into the 153 range today and I'm still wearing my 10s. They are looser and I can get 8s on and buttoned/zipped but I'm still not comfortable wearing 8s (I'm not a tight clothes kind of person).
My FAVORITE thing about it - is that I find many women at weights and sizes close to me to be less big and prettier than I think I am .. .so its been good for a reality check of what I look like. Also, I see that women at sizes that I'm not too far from are actually hot - even though they are plus sizes - so it really means that as my journey continues, I too will look awesome even before goal. So I really do like and recoomend this site:
