  • I LOVE lane bryant jeans. Especially their veranesi line.
  • Thanks! When I go to old navy i will try size 18 first
    You gals area always sooo much help
  • To me the Old Navy jeans tend to run small but that just may be my shape. I am at 206 and can wear an Old Navy denim skirt in a 16 that is actually a little big but can't even breathe in a pair of size 18 old navy low rise stretch jeans. I even tried an Old Navy size 20 when I was getting into an 18 in other brands and couldn't get the button to meet.
  • Whos jeans should I Try in Vancouver?
  • good luck on ur jean hunt.
    I am 254 and I wear a size 18 comfortable. I carry most my weight in my thighs and stomach area.It also depends on the style or brand. Old navy runs small. I can't even fit in there 20. There jeans also tend to be low rise and stretch. I love Lane Bryant.

    Hope that kinda helped.
  • I'm 215, 5'8" and in a 16-18, but depending on brand, sometimes in a 16W. My waist is 37"
  • At 203 I was in a size 16.
    Now at 164 i'm in a size 12.

    It all depends on brand of jeans, I think.
    Some places I can wear a 10, others its a 14.
  • Gosh, Cassy, you are doing so well! I don't know why, but I still remember when you hit onderland and now look how far you've come . I hope you are doing well and keep up the good work with your weightloss, you'll be at your goal in no time!
  • I have been frequenting thrift stores lately. There is always a variety of brands and availability of sizes, and they are cheap. That way I don't feel as bad ( in the pocketbook) when I need a new pair because they don't fit. Not that I have needed any lately but I am sure that by the end of November I will.
  • It is amazing the different sizes we take for the same weight. I am size 20 and 5'5" ,weight 215.
  • Candice--thank you! This was a great thread. I think it's important for people to see how very different our body types are when it comes to weight and sizes. I personally know how frustrating it is to see someone who weighs more and is shorter in smaller clothes (fortunately I have gotten over it!). So it's great for everyone to see that they (we) can't compare ourselves to anyone else--just strive to be the healthiest, fittest that WE can be.

    So, have you been shopping?? Was it fun??
  • I started at 204 in a 16, pushing an 18. I'm now at 153 wearing a 7/8 in one pair and a 10/12 in another.
  • No I have not been shopping yet. I might be able to go tomorrow to the mall since I have to go to Costco anyhow and they are close to each other Will let you know how it goes if I go shopping

    Thanks again for all that answered!

    Ohhh and my weight now is 209.2 Don't know my measurments though, I will get those on Friday.
  • Hi candice, I'm a Candace aslo. You don't hear that name too often.
    I am 5'4" at 199 right now, and I'm in a loose 16. However I tried on a 14 the other day, adn thanks to my thunder thighs, it will still be a while till I fit into the 14's. Don't let it get you down, I'm definately am a instant gratification girl. I'm doing everything righgt, and I want to be a size 10 now!!!
    Have a great OP day!!
