Ladies, What Size Jeans Do You Wear?



Recommended Posts

This past weekend I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans since I was in college. I'm pretty close to goal now (6 pounds to go), so I doubt I'll be getting down to a size 10. But then I see people who are still over 200 pounds fitting into size 10s. So I was thinking about how different body shapes and heights really affect clothing sizes. I've been in a size 10 dress since I was over 180, but even at 170 I'm only just NOW fitting into size 12 jeans. I carry so much of my weight in my hips and thighs! So for the sake of curiosity, please post your stats and what size pants you are wearing now. If you have photos, that's even better! My most recent gallery pics are unfortunately pretty outdated. I think I was 185 and wearing size 16 jeans in those pics.

Weight: 170.2

Height: 5'6"

Jeans: Size 12

5'3", 204, bigger on top than the bottom, and wearing mostly 14's now. Some brands a 16. Exercise pants are usually a L or XL depending on how tightly fitted they are.

SHIRTS are a different story. Still pretty firmly an XL or even XXL...ptooey!

Weight: 156

Height: 5'5"

Jean size: Not sure, but between 8 and 10

Size: 8

Because it's summer, all my size 8's are in the form of shorts and capri's, lol. I'm in a medium skirt and medium tops. I haven't bought a pair of jeans yet this size, but depending on the brand, I'm sure it's an 8 up to a 10. Now I'm curious, and will have to try some on the next time I go shopping! I know I was just talking to a gal on here (I wish I could remember who it was) who's stats are very similar to mine who was in a 6 jeans. I think she was even shorter than I am. There's no way I could wear a 6 right now! I'm built very *ahem* curvy. I'm all boobs and tummy, lol. I really think my "pooch" (as I call my panni) affects the size I wear, too. You can see it pretty well in the pic in the skirt. The other pic is me in my workout clothes.

I haven't had surgery yet, so my numbers are huge still.

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 294

Jeans: 24--I should probably be in a 22 because my 24s are baggy and loose, but I am afraid to try a smaller pair.

This thread always fascinated me. I often wonder if people are in the wrong size (like it's often stated so many women are in the wrong size bra). I think it's a little subjective too... Some may go for a tighter fit, others may opt for the comfort of a looser fit

I don't wear jeans in the summer, but my jeans and dress pants generally run the same, so my stats ate:

Height 5'6"

Weight 278

Pants size 20, quickly creeping towards an 18.

WOW... this is really interesting how many people are close to the same height and weight, but wear completely different sizes.

Currently...

Height: 5'4"
Weight: 149
Pants: Size 8 on the verge of size 6 (never in a million years would I have ever believed I'd be that small again)
Shirts: Medium

      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.
