Curious about what sizes people are at when they are at 170-180 which is my goal. I am 5'6". Trying to figure out what sizes that I could fit into when I am at goal. I see cute things at thrift stores and I would buy some smaller sizes if I thought I could wear them eventually! I can't imagine being in a large even.....and a medium seems beyond possible :) But I thought I would ask here and see if I can get an idea!

Thanks!

I'm 193lbs now and wear size 12 pants and either XL or L tops. I'm 5-09. I have 33 more pounds until goal, so I'll be curious what size I end up. My 12 pants are about too big

All depends on your body. When My5'5" sister was 170 she was in a medium top and 12-14 jean

I'm 5'3" and 170 lbs. I am in between a 16 and a 14.

It amazes me how different we are in shapes and sizes. I have seen people my height and weight (and even heavier) saying that they are wearing 10s and 12s.

I am 5'6", 145 lbs. I wear mostly medium tops, some large and VERY occasionally small. I wear mostly size 6 pants, sometimes 4 or 8. It's amazing how much sizes vary!!

I'm 167 and 5'6" and I wear a M top and 12 pant. I carried most of my fat in my tummy area so if it was smaller I would be in a 10. I lost mostly all of my rear so 12's fit my waist but are saggy in the rear.

I'm not sure if this helps but I have found a site where you can put in height and weight and body shape and if has pictures of people that are also that size. You can also search it by sizes too. Www.mybodygallery.com

This is very interesting how different we are. I'm 5'2 and 183. I'm wearing size 16 or 14 depending on the pant. Would love love love to be a 12. I'm almost 3 months out.

I'm 5'5" (5'6" on a good day) and when I was 160 i was in size 8 dress pants and a large top. I'm pretty top heavy, and straight from the ribs down when I lose weight. Right now I'm in 18 pants and 2x top. Can't wait to get my old clothes out. They were CUTE!! ;-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
