Just turned 40 this week.
Well, I am freakishly heavy for my size. I carry a lot of weight in my arms and legs; they are huge. Well shaped and proportioned, just very large. In fact my upper arms are so large (muscle plus flab) that I will only wear 3/4ths length sleeve or longer.
Anyway, I'm 5'8, 264 lbs. I wear a 14W/16 misses top, a 16W/18 misses bottom. Like many of you it kind of varies. I have one business suit, a 20 bought in 2003. The waist floats, the hips are baggy but the legs are tight, the shoulders are a bit tight but the middle of the coat floats. I can wear a regular XL t-shirt. It's a tad tight in the chest but in a good way. I've never been comfortable in regular men's XL tshirts before because of my gut. Well, thanks to no processed foods/no diet sodas, no gut!
I have to try EVERYTHING on. I can't take anything for granted.
