It's interesting to see how different bodies fit the same size. I used to work at Lane Bryant and was always fascinated by the radically different looking people who would all buy a size 18.

for me, i'm 5'5

250 lbs = sz 20

235 = 18

220 = 16

190/200 = 14

Its fascinating isnt it? I need to be a very low BMI and even then I'm STILL jiggly, although I'm very fit and toned underneath. If nature blessed me a bit more, I've got the sort of body that if I could get it thin enough I could model (would need a bag over my head, lol) - if I was still 18! I look overweight VERY quickly and at quite a low weight. People have gotten nasty and called me anorexic on here (c'mon! 150 at 5ft 10 anorexic?) but honestly, I could still lose 20 lb and not be alarmingly thin. I've got loads to lose on my butt!

I saw a woman the other day and I couldnt stop staring, she was just so curvy. Utterly perfect curvy, flat stomach, perfect, rounded breasts, but curves in ALL the right places, the type of body that is not fashionable but that I bet men drool over. I could never in a gazillion years be like that, the minute I put on the weight to HAVE curves, it just all hangs in rolls.

Yet, I'm betting we would have been around the same size. She was a lot more "solid" than me being several inches shorter but ever so much more shapely. And the biatch didnt jiggle!

On the same note, but a little different, I saw a woman a few weeks ago that looked amazing to me. She was very curvy and tall, but she actually was about a size 18, my guess. But she didn't seem "fat" just "large." She was solid, also, and no jiggles. I was jealous. She was very beautiful in an Amazon way. Stunning, to me. If only I could look like that in a size 18, I wouldn't feel all that bad about it.

For me, I started out at 272 and was in a 24. I'm 5'4". I don't have record of what size I was at each weight, but I'm now a size 18, sometimes 16, and I'm about 222. So I've lost 50 pounds and 4 sizes, at most.

I do find it strange, though - that I've never been in anything smaller than a 16, but my lowest weight was 199. So even 20 pounds lighter, I was still in a 16 before (years ago, pre-band). I guess it's that muscle, from working out more this go-around.

I agree..I think I'm the first guy to respond but I wear a lot smaller sizes then most people I see who are my size. I'm 6'5" 365 at my highest and 320 right now 2 weeks post op and have been wearing the same size 42/30 pants and xxl shirts. Tho the pants are starting to get pretty darn loose which is nice. But I see a lot of people my size that are wearing size 50+ and 3 or 4 or even 5 xl shirts.

I just hit the 50 pound weight loss mark! :biggrin: I'm so excited. I was even more excited when I went to Walmart Friday and found a pair of jeans I could wear. I haven't had jeans in years!

I'm 5'6" and I'm 270 right now and wear a 26 pants and 30/32 shirt. I can't wait to see what size I wear when I lose more.

This is a cool thread! Interesting to see what everyone wears.

I am 5'7 and weigh about 194. In pants, I am wearing a 16, but they are starting to get big, and I think I could fit into some 14s now. In tops, I'm an XL, but I have big boobs. I can wear a few larges, depending on how they are made. I am starting to see how clothes are made so different, even a lot of the same brands that are the same size fit so different. I am close to getting out of plus sizes and I can't wait until the day when I can shop on the OTHER side of the store.
