I weigh 242 and at 5'5 I wear between 18/20W and 20W. Some brands are too large and some brands ... too small. I remember weighing 140 and wearing a size 11/12. cue All in the Family's "those were the days" ...

It also depends on where you hold a majority of your weight too :) I just now got out of 24's and the like, trust me. If I wasn't on a high protein diet that TORCHES inches, then I would probably still be in them. I lost 35lbs last year & I was still in the same 24's. But just losing 23.5lbs on this & I've went down to a 20, almost a 18. Just takes time <3

Fitness ;)

10lbs ago I said I was done losing weight, but obviously I have failed at maintaining :lol: I've increased my exercise quite a bit so I guess it was expected that I would lose more even though I increased the calories I was consuming.

Even though I weigh every day still I'm not really concerned about what the scale says any more. I wouldn't even mind packing on a few pounds of muscle, but I need to start eating even more to do that.

I like weight training so I'm really focused on lifting more and trying to get to my goal of lifting 75% of my body weight. Right now I can lift around 60% :)

I'm 301 lbs and 5'8. I wear a 24 in jeans and 3x in tshirt.

5'3" and 216lbs. I wear an 18 or xl top and a 20 bottom. For now!

Edited to add: not sure if this has already been posted, but if you want to compare you body type, clothing size, height and weight check out a website called mybodygallery. It really is interesting to see how different others are even at the same height and weight as you.

I am 5'2" and 144 pounds. Yep, 12 is too big, 10 is big too but not all brands. 8's seems to fit better but I am not sure about size 6 (haven't tried yet)

I'm 5'6 and weight 135..I wear size 6 or 8 in pants and dresses and M in shirts.
My body fat % is high though...29% so I'm not small. I'm working on getting that down so I can fit into a size 4.

I am 5'7", approx. 180 lbs, size 10 or M in tops. Mostly a 12 in bottoms/skirts b/c a 10 is too short. Overall, sometimes M or 10, but still sometimes L depending. My body is a little strange, I have really athletic legs/calves, but I abhore my stomach...oh well.

The strange thing is that my weight hasn't really changed all that much from when I started dieting - I was too nervous to get on the scale at the beginning of this whole thing but I guestimate I've lost a total of about 20 lbs - despite going down more than 6 individual sizes [size 16 to a 12/10] - that's why I never weigh myself - the number is too depressing when it doesn't move, despite my seeing changes.

I'm 5'7"/228 currently and I've been buying 16s at Old Navy, Lane Bryant, and Fashion Bug. 1X in tops. Sometimes 2X if it's something like a blazer, because I like those bigger.

Now, that's what I buy new. However, I've gone down to this from a tight 28 a little over a year ago. What I wear day-to-day is a mix of sizes. The jeans I have on are 26s, but they're a hair's breadth from literally falling off. I have jeans in regular rotation from 26 through 16, though the 16s and the 18s are the only ones that don't look clown-ish. I have a pair of 14s as my motivational jeans.

I'm 5'5" and about 190 pounds right now. I usually wear a size 16 pant, but I do have a pair of 14s that fit nice. I'm usually a large in tops, though I have a couple mediums that fit.

You can't go by weight girls! It all depends on how much lean muscle you have, how large your frame is and how much body fat you have. With that in mind, take the stats you read here with a grain of salt, everyone is made differently!!!

I'm 190lbs, 5ft3 and in a size 10 and med-large shirt.

I weigh around 140-143 pounds, my height is 5'3" and a half. My clothes size varies so much from one store to another, I can't even risk shopping online. Weight does not matter as much as body shape, for instance I have a size 14 shirt, but my best friend who weights roughly the same as me got the same shirt in a size 10. That's because the upper side of my body is quite big while my legs are really skinny, my friend is exactly the opposite: small waist and big hips. But to answer the question I usually reach for a size 12 and then try it on, if it doesn't fit properly I look for a different size but I guess the majority of my clothes are a 12.

Insideme- I wish I had your size at my 190 weight xD

6'0 and 184 pounds. I wear a size 12 in misses and a Large shirt. Usually wear a 10 in dresses tho, or 13 in junior dresses

i have a hard time sayinga certain size too ..it depends on where you buy it
