Maybe it is a Canada thing?

My license says 140 but it also says im 5'6 dont know why it says Im 5'6 :?: But I cant wait to go in a get a new one when I reach my goal... I'll be smiling from ear to ear :D even if the line is 10 miles long

Hi
I'm 5'7" 193
top heavy large to extra large (a very few mediums)
pants are as small as 9/10, some 10's some 12's and 1 of my 14's still fits. go figure. nothing is uniform in sizing.

i am 5'1 (closer to 5'2, i think) and i weigh around 124. i like myself at 115. I wear a size 4p-6p pants and dresses 2 and 4, tops range from xsmall to meduim.

I'm just SHORT!
 

I would be a great weight and size if I was taller! I knew it :)

I am all of 4 foot 10
weight 165
clothes sizes are 16 -14 in pull up pants - zip ups are a 16-18 depending on where i get them-
tops are xtra large to 1x depending again on where i get them- 18-20's are too big and 16's are too small
but then i've always been large up top and needed a medium even when i wore a size 4 pants WAYYYYYYYYY back in the day.
I'd be happy just getting into a 10/12 and shop in normal sections of the stores

I'm 5'2". Currently 177-179 lbs. I guess I'm a 16 in misses. I know I can wear most XL shirts. I haven't shopped for clothes in the last 3 months since starting my weight loss journey. Maybe I should have my hubby watch the kids and I can go out and try on clothes just to see.

ok.. So I am extremely small for my weight then. lol Well my scale could be wrong.. it says that I weigh 168 as of Monday.. but the doctor type scales said I was 163 when my scale said 173. So It could be off... but I go by it so I can track my loss. But heres some proof this picture is me at 156 pounds. Those jeans are size 7. I am 5'4.

Height: 5'8
Weight: 149
Size: 7/8 in pants and jeans and a small/medium shirt

I am aming for a size 6 at 135 and a size 4 at 125 (thats a maybe I will see how I look at 130)

(When I started I was 175 and a tight size 12, then I was a size 10 at 160 )

5'7" -- 154 lbs. -- size 12

At my goal weight of 135 I'm a loose size 10.

I am 5'7 and weigh 158. Actually have very slim hips and thighs now, but too much weight on waist. I wear a size 4-6 misses in pants, and a size 12-14 in shirts. I am DD on top, so don't expect shirt size to go down much more. Was a size 20 at 234 lbs. with a size 2XX shirts to start with.

5'2"
167 lb
size 12 - they're getting a little baggy but I don't think I'd fit a 10 yet and I'm just too poor to keep buying new clothes, so I just bought a belt today instead :)

You go!

I'm the same weight and 3 inches taller, but I'm a 10/12.

I just have alot of muscle.. thats gotta be it. Ive concluded

i am 5'5"... 150...and i fit into a size 9-10..(mudd jeans) but am most comfortable in 11-12...low riders is all i can find but i hate them cuz i have a belly roll that hangs over slightly..lol. very annoying....

Cool!

Weight: 242

Height: 5'4, sometimes 5'5 (don't ask)

Size 20W pants

Hi Wildlifebio!

I'm 6 feet also, 294 and wear a 22 to 24. At my thinnest, I weighed 166 and wore a size 14, but teetering on a 12. The arm/leg length thing is hard at any weight. As if it weren't hard enough to find nice plus size clothes, they are all built for someone 5'7" and under :( . So the clothes will fit my bod, but my ankles and wrists are hanging out.

5'6" and 1/4, 224.5 pounds, and a size 20W. I'm an apple shape, most of my weight is on my stomach. Too bad it never moved up to my breasts though.

Good Idea
Im 5' tall and weigh 127 lbs and I wear a size 8 in pants and a sm or med in tops. I use to be over 170 pounds and use to wear a size tight 14, should have been a 16. I am okay with my weight as it is, but would love to lose another 10 pounds if I can.

I'm at 163.5 right now. My highest weight was 169, and at that point I was still wearing size 12 jeans and pants but they were definitely not as comfortable! I find that Calvin Klein jeans (which I never pay full price for...I get them at places like TJ Maxx or Marshall's) always fit me pretty well.

I'm 5'7" and I weigh 136lbs and fit into a size 9/10.

We don't have our weight on our licences here in Winnipeg!

Im 5' 10" and 219 pounds. I wear a size 18 in most stores for Jeans and pants. Size 1x or xxl for shirts. Need to work on my belly! : ) Actually everything.

How much weight has anyone lost to go down a size. Is it usually 20 pounds per size, or has it been 10-25 for some?

I'm 5'9" and 207 lbs and just got a new pair of size 16 jeans today, down from size 22 I wore at my high weight of 250. At 165 I wear size 10. This size thing is insane :p

For me, it's about 15 lbs per size.

I like that paper towel thingee. That's a good description!

You have some good analogies Jill :lol:

Before I started working out.. I was 175-180lbs and I wore an 11. I went to 156 and 7/8 so 20-25lbs was 2/3 sizes. I guess about 10lbs a size. For me

I'm 5' 7"-I weigh 218lbs (right now:) ) and I wear a size 16, of course that's depending on who makes the pants. I usually wear a size large top sometimes a xl depanding on how much i've eaten that day:^: .

I love the paper towel analogy!

The size thing is so hard to say. I haven't been lower than a size 10 in a pretty long time, so I don't have much basis for comparison here...but right now at 163.5 I'd have to lose about 10 lbs. to comfortably fit into size 10 jeans again. Then there's the whole issue of different brands of jeans and different cuts of jeans to add to the mix. I definitely find that some brands are cut a bit more generously than others. Right now I'm looking forward to getting into my size 10 jeans from J. Crew that I got for $10 at a used clothing store (the tags were still on the jeans!!). I find that J. Crew is cut slightly more generously than some brands...for example, Gap jeans never fit me. I should add that I am quite pear-shaped!:D

I think that I am probably gonna lose 1 size per 10lbs too. I was a size 13/14 at 170, and right now I'm a size 16 or 17 at 191.

I have to lose about 10 pounds to go down a size. Was a 14 at 163, and a 12 at 153, and a 10 at 143, now Im 135 and a tight 8 unless their stretch denim, or midrise then they will fit fine ;)

I am 248, 6'2"....wearing a 16 currently.

Ok I'm 5'3" and right now I'm 156.6 (ask me again tomorrow :dunno: because it's always achangin' either up .2 or down .2). I'm firmly in a size 14 but I have a couple pairs of pants that are 12s as well as most of my dresses. I can wear a medium shirt most times. :dancer:

GADS I'm 156.8 now - what a stinky plateau! :tantrum:

:eek:

I'm 5'4'' too, 176/177 right now and I'm just barely getting into some size 14 pants. Boggles my mind I tell you!

5'2", 147 lbs (I think...it fluctuates so darn much) <---anyone with similar stats??

As for size...I have no idea. It varies so much store to store...I can usually look at a pair of jeans and guess about whether it'll fit me. The pants I'm wearing now are 9's, but they're also the stretchy kind. I'd say I'm a 12 or 13....somewhere in there. :?:

Is it too late?
 

I would like to do this too! I need a buddy who is around the same "level" I am at.
Height 5'1
Weight 169
Size 14?--I don't know, sometimes 12, sometimes 16

Just starting so I have a LONG way to go,:( but I am ready!
:) :carrot:

Hey pickles.....you and me a alike !
isnt it funny how pants will vary?
if ya need a buddy just let me know.....Iam always needing a buddy who kicks me in BIG butt to get me going :D

ops guess I should tell my stats lol I am such a dork!

5,2 with shoes
166,5 lbs
size 14 ,,but some of them just dont fit ...I Like Zena they fit comfy...hahah....

believe me when I say this FAT has to go .....I was 125, 3 years ago !! 135 lbs 2 years ago..........and then it went downhill .....YUCK !

I'm 5'2'' at 198, I'm a good size 18, although some 16's fit. It is so odd how some clothes fit better than others
When I went down to 160, I was a size ten

I'm 5'8'', ~150lbs looking for a goal of 140lbs and wear size 6 usually. When I was at 144 (grrr only a few months ago!) I was wearing 4's and some 2's even. If someone with similar stats wants to buddy up let me know.

Hi guys, Im new here. I have been working vigorously on diet and exercise for a couple of months now. Have lost a couple of pounds. Ive been reading as a Guest, but this post finally made me register. I get depressed by these posts, because I always wear such a big size. I am about140 lb, 5' 3 3/4", am definitely more muscular than average, and wear a 14 in many things, sometimes a 10, but mostly XL or 1X and a 12 or higher, which seems to be much larger than the sizes other people around my height/weight wear. I feel deformed and I get so down about it. Why am I alone in this? Why do I have this horrible shape? Why do I have to be alone in having this horrible shape? Its such an awful feeling. I usually shop thrift stores but if I go to the Limited or Victoria's Secret or something like that, I cant fit into any of their things. How come women 5'4" 160 can wear these things, and I cant? Why just me? I hate feeling deformed. And I wish I could wear cute things.
