CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted October 28, 2012 Vanity sizing is crazy. In the mid 1980s I got into a size 9/10 weighing about 140-145. My goal this time is 160 so I was thinking a size 12. Well, I weigh 189 and am wearing size 14 pants (non stretch jeans and slacks) and skirts. I even fit into a pair of size 12s that must have run even bigger. On the top, I am probably more of a 14/16 as I carry alot of weight around the midsection and back. I want to lose another 30 or so pounds so I am now thinking that is going to put me back in the 10 range! Women's clothing sizes mean nothing though, when I read sizing charts they are not even consistentent between different brands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayByDay 123 Posted October 28, 2012 I hope to get down to a 10, but an 8 would be awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted October 28, 2012 As a guy, I would like to wear size 32 pants and medium/large shirts. I am 5'11". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SexySlim 107 Posted October 28, 2012 Yeah sizes are crazy! I'm really hippy so I always have the gap in the waist. I can fit a 14 dress but barely zip up a 18 pencil skirt. And let's talk about frame sizes. According to my wrist size I have a small frame. I find that hard to accept and laughable. I guess I've just always carried a lotta weight on this small frame. I weighed 90 lbs in 2nd grade! And speaking of shopping, I am soooo happy I can shop on the regular side. My top has always been smaller so I was already in a regular XL. I can wear L now. I have turned into a little online shopping addict. Help me! 1 4ALongerLife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AStephenson 159 Posted October 28, 2012 All you tall people..geez! I'm 5'1 and even at my lightest weight (116 in the 9th grade) I still had larger, muscular thighs and wore a size 10. I wear a size 20 at 217...hope to get down to at least a 12...I can't see myself any smaller than that long ago size 10, I'd have to be a skeleton I think. 2 E-girl and LovingmeForever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dar1983 751 Posted October 28, 2012 Hmmm...good question. Th smallest size I wore was as a college student,and that was a 14. I was pretty active, and had a perfectly flat stomach due to thousands and thousands of sit-ups and crunches in physical therapy. That was when I was 18-21. I am currently 52 and at the start of this journey, I was wearing a 24 (22 in some skirts). It is four months later, and I have lost 53lbs, and currently wearing a size 18. I bought a pair of skinny jeans in Old Navy 3 weeks ago (in the regular sizes!) and they are a little saggy in back! My goal is 140lbs. I'm not sure what size I will be wearing then, as I have been fat since I was married 29 years ago. I'm still shocked over being in skinny jeans off the rack! If I make it to single digit sizes...just wow. 3 4ALongerLife, Strangefruit and E-girl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banned member 320 Posted October 28, 2012 My goal is a size 4-8 I don't want double digit clothing anymore lol. I currectly wear a 18 at 240. I will probably have to get down to 130ish to fit in a size 4. I'm probably more excited about being able to ditch Lane Bryant clothing in a couple of weeks 2 ArtSong and dar1983 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scaredy Cat 92 Posted October 29, 2012 I'm only 5' so my goal size would be about a 2. Seems I reachable to me right now (pre-sleeve) but for my height, my weight should be around 105 - 115! Such a long way to go..........!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
