5'5, 132 and a size 4-6. 4 is a bit small, 6 is a bit too baggy, my hips were permanently changed after this baby so my hips are around 2" wider. I was a 4 before (and I think around 14 when I started my journey 7 years ago at 163!!!!)

[Shelleyd1]

Almost the exact same stats as you. 5'2 and 214. I wear between a 16 and 20. The 20 is if I'm lucky enough to find something in petite. Xl or 1x for shirts.

[MissBeliever]

I am 5'4" 121 pounds I wear a size 2 in women's and size 3 in junior's jeans. I usually wear a small in shirts but sometimes medium.

[Brooklynn]

I am 5'5 almost 5'6 and 200lbs I wear a 16-18 just depends on the jeans/pants. I wear a xl shirt but have found I am fitting into L better now but I have DDs so I have always worn bigger shirts even when I was smaller.

[FatJayne]

I am 5'3 210 lbs and wear a snug size 18 jean. I flat out refuse to buy bigger pants than that, so I wear one of my two size 18 jean or sweatpants. I wear a 1-2XL shirt to cover my extra skin on my belly.

So much is about height and frame size. Shorter people with smaller frames usually need bigger sizes for the same weight because there's just less bone to hold up all the fat.

I'm 5' 6.5 (so much in the middle I don't know what to call myself - 5'6" or 5'7"). I have a VERY large wrist, 7.25" (with no fat around it).

At 275 I wore a getting tight 20W.

At 255 I wore a getting lose 20W

At 225 I am in between a 16W and an 18W in most brands.

My measurements are: 45 38 47.

[Serbrider]

I'm 5'9.5", 213.5 lbs according to the scale this morning, and I am in between 14 and 16 depending. Or large/xlarge depending. So yeah.

[Horo]

I'm 5'6", in the 140's, and a size 4/small in tops, size small and sometimes medium in skirts, size small or 4/6 in dresses, size 6 in pants, and wear corsets in size 22".

[icelandgirl90]

I´m about 170 pounds and I wear a size 8. I have a large quite muscular frame and am very proportionate. No one believes I weight this much, and I sometimes feel angry and annoyed that I weigh so much even thought I´m happy with the way I look when I look in the mirror. The only time my BMI has been bordering on the healthy range was when I was 16 and had an eating disorder and looked way too skinny. Sorry about my rant!

[ShesLosingIt]

I'm 5'6" 1/2, 237 lbs and usually can get into 18 regular in bottoms and XXL or XL, depending on the brand, in tops - like a previous poster, I usually buy bigger to cover the belly area.

We'll it's confirmed: I'm huge. Seriously. Even you other shorties out there at my weight wear smaller sizes.

Oh well, we can't aspire to any one elses body, just do the best we can with the one we have. If I can get back to where I don't have to shop at plus size stores/departments, even if that has to happen and a much lower weight than most of you, I'll be happy.

And BTW, I hear all you mamas out there. My pre-pregnancy weight was 165, nothing to be too proud of, but a lot better than where I am right now. Back then, at that weight, I didn't have much of a belly. I got down below that, about 155, at one point after I had my son, but the belly's never quite the same.

[mel23]

180 (apparently, i wasn't 178 like i thought--so that's my starting point!), 5'7", and a 12 or 14 (depends what store/fit) and a M or L in shirts (again, depends what store/fit).

very interesting to hear the variations!
