I am 5'9" 147 lbs and I wear a size 8 in womens and 11/12 in the teen/young adult sections. I carry my weight in my hips/thighs/butt so that is my pants size. I wear medium/large shirts, I have a long torso so even thought I am small chested I have to get bigger sizes otherwise my bellybutton sticks out :) I have always worn this size at 125 lbs up to 160 lbs.

i'm 5'6.5" and weigh 237 as of last wednesday. at my starting weight, 268, i wore very tight 20's (probably should have been 22's). now, the 20's are very loose, and the 18's are a bit tight. in tops, i wear 2x. i seem to be losing weight from the top down, and then the hips down. my stomach refuses to budge! argh.

I am 5'2 and 185. The pants that I wore at 195 before I had my second kid still don't fit. My tummy is just a different shape that it used to be.

Right now a XL T-shirt looks baggy and L T-shirt is too tight around my boobs. I am too short to wear t-shirts without them looking like dresses anyway. I bought a couple tanks at Walmart in an XL and they are a bit tight still.

At 217 I was wearing my mom's size 18-20 pants. Right now I am 185 and fit into some size 16's, but mostly they are too tight in the waist.

Pre kids I was a
size 14 at about 170 lbs
size 12 at about 160 lbs
size 10 at about 145 lbs
size 8 at about 130 lbs

I have never really been smaller than that.

My lowest was in HS. I still have a few pairs of jean from them in a Levi 28 waist and some size 5's and 7's. Crazy thing is I got teased a lot for being fat and right now those 5's and 7's seem superthin.

Hello, I'm 5'4", weigh 182 and I'm in a size 14 pant and 16 shirt. I try to stick to the stretch jeans too, so that when my weight fluctuates I don't have to go clothes shopping!!

Congrats on your weight loss **Stacye**...I can see the difference in your face, and you look beautiful before and after!! Way to go!!

The size question is always such an interesting one. At my highest of 228, I was an 18/20. I'm down to 212, and today I put on a pair of 14's. Now I know my 18's still fit, but I'm elated to have these on today! I work in the medical field, and wear scrubs most of the time...I typicall buy a XL, but they are getting quite baggy...however, I don't know that I can fit into a L yet. When I did WW years ago, I dropped to 170 and was a 10/12. I'm a XL on top, cuz I am busty :) which I hope to never lose...I think I'm one of the few who likes it.
Size is just a number, remember that...don't focus on who wears what size, etc. Focus on you, and where you feel comfy. Even in HS at 140, I was a 10...so I know I won't ever be a 4 or 6... Get to where you feel best, and live it up!!!! Whether thats a size 20, or a 2!!!! Be the best you!

I wear a UK size 12-14. My Gap bought jeans are tight and they say US size 8. Obviously I am not wearing my waistsize 31 jeans anymore as they ripped :eek: My weight is just under 72 kg now, don't ask me to think what it is in other units, it's mildly overweight, as my height is 5ft6. I'm lucky in the way that my body fat spreads pretty evenly, yay at least one good thing about this. I think I'd like to be a UK size 8, haven't decided yet. Size 6 just seems a bit overly tiny. Oh well gonna go get a cuppa now and stop rambling on :coffee:

Shirt sizes...
 
It saddens me to know I will probably never wear smaller than a large sized tshirt. I am built like a football player (thank you Dad's genes), and my VERY broad shoulders will prevent my shirt sizes from going down further than that I believe

Kris B 05-15-2006 02:25 PM

I am 5'2", 135 lbs, and a size 6 or 8, depending on the brand and whether I am having a fat day or not (lol...kinda)

Amanda_mae 05-15-2006 04:17 PM

Interesting post. It's amazing how people at the same weight can be built so differently. Anyway, here are my stats:

**Edited to add: I'm 5'8" tall!!**

At 280 lbs I was a size 24 pants and a size XXL for shirts.
At 170-180 lbs I was a size 16 pants and size L for shirts.
Right now, at 152 lbs, I'm a size 10 pants and size M for shirts.

HandbagAficionado 05-15-2006 04:48 PM

I'm currently 148 pounds, and a very slightly snug size 10. I gained 15 pounds over the winter, and I am working my way back to 140 again (lol) so I refuse to buy any bigger clothes!

At my lowest of 138, I wore an 8/10 and a M top for NY&Co ... that's where I buy most of my work clothing. Oh, and I am 5'3".

When I first started my new way of life, I weighed 245 and was a snug 24/3X. Shirts were terrible because my chest was gigantic (not in a good way! although I do wish I had a little of that part back, lol)

Nadya 03-04-2012 12:20 PM

5'3.5"

juniors pants: 7,9,11
womens: 6,8,10

i'm sure that was helpful hahah

heathermichigan 03-04-2012 02:29 PM

I am 5 ft 10 in, 219 pounds currently and wear a 16 on bottom and XL on top.

When I was down to 203, I could sometimes squeeze into a L top and was wearing a 14 on bottom most of the time.

When I was at my high weight of 283, I was wearing a 24 (which was sometimes small) on bottom and a 3x top usually.

I'm chesty with wide shoulders, wide torso (stomach is always last to go), slimmer hips, and slimmer legs.
I will be happy to fit in a size 12 when I'm down to 170! Anything else will just be icing on the cake! :D
