Just Curious...?

Have any of you noticed that some peoples pants size/weight don't really match up? For example, I weighed 324.2 at the start of my journey and I wore a 20/22. I've noticed a lot of people say they were in 20/22 but they weigh a lot less than me..like mid 200s-260 ish. Is it true some people weigh heavy? I've always thought I must weigh heavy. Oh, and I haven't tried my jeans on to see if I've went down a size or not, so I'm assuming I'm probably still a 20/22, maybe they'll be loose now. Oh, and I'm 19.2 pounds down and will be 2 weeks post op tomorrow.

I think it depends on where your weight is distributed. Upper body, lower body, all over - My heaviest was 268 and I too was a size 20.

[Wolfgirl1978 256]

I think height plays a factor in it also

[Jennifer SoFla 85]

Yes height definitely matters. I'm 6'1" and 285lbs and can wear a 20.

[CJ_Redux 137]

Yes, it must be weight distribution because I'm 5'8" and at 344lbs I was in a size 28 and it wasn't loose! But I'm very hippy and bootylicious.

[Webchickadee 716]

I'm 5;4" (on a "tall" day)....

My pre-op weight was 319 lbs and I was having some challenges with various size 28 pants (depending on the style).

I'm now down 52 lbs and can get comfortably into most size 26 pants (with room to spare), but even fit in to a variety of size 24 pants (again, depending on the style).

I carry most of my weight in my hips, butt and thighs, but my abdomen is/was no slouch either!

Someday (not too far away) I hope to fit easily into single digits!

Height has a lot to do with it if your 6'0 tall and weigh 200 pounds with a size 10 you look pretty small but if your 5'2 200 pounds wearing size 10 you look a lot bigger.

[Nikki613 120]

I am 5'6 and 250 amd wear a 20 or 22. I also carry most of my weight in my waist.

My addication is CARBS so that is why my waistline is so huge. I carry all my weight in my upper body.

[Happy2Bme 13]

I'm now 236 and wear a 14 top and 18 bottom. When I started I was 271 and a size 20/22. You will be there before you know it! I'm 6 weeks post-op.

I was 262 wearing a 20/22 it all depends on how we r built my fat was mainly belly so that's y I was in that size I'm also 5/4 and wearing a 2x we all are built differently

[Ruby 26]

i wondered the same thing.. for instance i am down to 200 and im 12/and many 10s and medium pants.. but i know ppl that weigh 170 and are a 12 not sure its weird too me too ..

[BentleyJade 28]

Well I'm 5'4 and carry most of my weight in my stomach/upper body. I guess its just weird to see how much it varies between us women. I imagine I will get down to 250 and be in a size 12? Thanks for the responses, ladies! I can always count on this forum to have great feedback!

[kmbrlycool 214]

I was 375 and in a 34/36

[FishingNurse 1,210]

I am 170 and a size 10-12

At 255 I was a 20-22. Huge thunder thighs. Hehehe

[ladyarwenrose 14]

i wear bigger sized clothing because my hips are so big. that and i've never been comfortable with clothing being too tight so i wear my tops larger than most would.
