I am 5'10 and weigh 205lbs and wear a 16. My heaviest is 212 and I was still in a 16 and my smallest was 170 in a 14 and that's what I'm trying to get back to.0

Due to my bone structure though (large) I will never be a UK 10, I am presuming I will eventually get to be a UK14/16 on top & a UK 12 on bottom once I am down to around 175-180lbs.
Hun it IS doable! I'm UK 10 (US 6) on top and 12 (8) in jeans, sometimes a size bigger depending on the shop. I've pretty wide hips but I'm an hourglass so a size S fits my waist.0 -
I'm 5'10". My current weight is 191 and I wear a size 12. 12 fits perfectly for my thighs and butt, but it is loose at the waist. At my heaviest (204) I wore a 14. At my smallest (155) I wore a 6. I gain and lose my weight in my thighs and butt with a little in my mid section.
My shirt size is another story. I have a large chest. At a size 12 pant I am still at least an XL. When I was a 6 I was still in about a size L shirt.0 -
I'm 5'10 and used to weigh 263 I wore a size 22. Now I'm 211 and wear size 14/16

I'm 5'11" and also started at 242lbs in a pant size 18/20 and XL shirts...though I may have needed to be rocking a 2XL :-/
My lowest weight was 205.8lbs and I was in 16's (I did have a stretchy pair that were 14/16's)
I'm currently back up to 229.8lbs and let me tell ya, these 16's are NOT comfortable, but dammit they're on LOL0 -
I am 5'9'', CW 160 and current size 8. GW 150 puts me at a 6. Sizes have gone way down in the last decade or 20 years because in college I was 163 and a 12!! I am 42 now. I used to always be a size L but now usually buy a medium. I gain weight in my waist and chest, and really would love to be 150 by summer so my dresses will zip up!! Now that its winter, and I wear more pants, about half are too tight!0

I'm 5'9.5" and 237 wearing an 18. I feel like once I hit 215 or up, I'm a solid size 18, but that I can wear an 18 for all the way to my heaviest weight at 249. It's a magical size. I also feel like 16's are magical the other way. There's only about a 10 lb +/- where a 16 will fit me. I don't know about any size less than that because it's been over a decade since I've been smaller than a 16. My goal is 150 lbs, when I was 150 I recall being a 12/14 which compared to what I'm seeing here in these posts seems to be a little on the large size for that weight. Maybe I'm large framed, or maybe sizing has changed in the last 13 years...0

I'm just under 6', and have weighed upwards of 300 at one point in my life. When I started my journey in May, I was 260, and wore an 18/20. I now weigh 175 (one pound from my lowest adult weight), and fit in 10's, and a few tight 8's, medium shirts. I would like to ultimately lose about 15 more, and then tone up during the summer. I'm a walker, but I can't tolerate the cold!0

I am 5'10 - at my high weight (260-280) I was a size 20. Now I weight 192 and I wear a jean size 12. (I wear low-rise jeans which fall on a thinner part of my tummy, this may be cheating a little - but i'll take it!
) I wear med-large depending on cut and fit. I have always been overweight so I think my fat has been pretty evenly distributed. But my broad shoulders have always made me bigger in fitted tops.
As I have always been heavy, I don't have a "goal size" but I find it interesting to hear everyone elses sizes!0 -
This bugs me so much! I shorter person will go down a size in 10-15 pounds, but us taller ladies do not! At my heaviest, I was about 215 and a size 16 (I'm 5'11). At my lightest, I was 179 and fit into a couple of size 10's, but mostly 12. I'm currently 188 and between 12 and 14.0

I have to agree. I try to stay positive and figure, at least I'm not buying new clothes every month, and it's saving me money! My 13-year-old is 5'7, and I started this journey with me. She's maintaining, but I had to get new clothes for her at about every 10 lbs. Fortunately, I can just borrow some of her clothes now.0 -
I am 5'10".
I started last July at 212 and in a 16/18 bottoms and L/XL tops.
I am currently 150 and wear an 8 in bottoms and M in tops.0 -
Yeah this gets to me sometimes too! I know it shouldn't matter what size you are, but DAMN I just wanna be a single digit. I'm a little over 6'0" and my current 178lbs puts me at a 10 or 12 (mainly 12). But, even at my lowest and most wonderful weight of 143lbs, I was a size 8 or 10 (mainly 10). I just want to be a solid 8. Or *gasp* would 6 even be possible?!
To be honest, I just want to be somewhat close to my friends' sizes when we're shopping (not that I can buy pants in stores anyway...) and for my bf to be like "You're so tiny!"
We'll see.
I'm down 2lbs today! Yay. 0 -
I'm down 2lbs today! Yay.
Congrats on your loss so far! Keep it up!
I too would love to be an 8 or under, maybe shoot for 6 when the weather warms up and I can exercise!0 -
At my heaviest, 212 pounds, I was in a size 16. Currently, at 160 pounds, I wear a medium in tops and size 8 pants. I even have two pairs of size 6 jeans!! Even in high school I wore a 10 or 12. I remember the first time I ever bought jeans in adult sizes (at age 9 or 10) I was in an 11. Last spring I tried on my "skinny jeans" that I hadn't worn in high school and they were (gasp!) TOO BIG!!
I never thought I would be in a size 8. It feels awesome! However I have had to spend a LOT of money buying new clothes. You tall ladies know that long pants are hard to find and generally don't come cheap.
When you're tall like us, clothing size is variable and sometimes not a great indication of your body's actual size. I still have a pair of 12's and 14's that I wear and although they're a little baggy, they still fit.0 -
I am not sure your age but over the last several years clothing has been made to vanity sizing. There are several forums on here where people talk about having been one size in school then 10,20 and 30 years later gaines 30-50 lbs and still wear the same sizes. I have a pair of size 8 Gap jeans from 10 years ago that are more like 6's now.Just curious about other tall gals like myself. I have weighed between 204 (highest) and 165 (lowest) in my "adult" life and have only ranged from size 12-14 (jeans and dresses), I'm currently at 178 pounds and go back and forth between the 2 sizes depending on brand. I have never fit into 10's even in college when I was down to 165 I was still a size 12. I'm 6'0. I do feel more comfortable in certain dresses and jeans when I am lighter though.
Have you seen big clothing size varience with weight loss/gain?0 -
I'm currently 233 and in an 18. I was in a 16 bottom (I'm a textbook hourglass, so my boobs were a 14, waist was 10, and jeans were 16) about two years ago when I lost some weight and I actually felt super sexy and awesome, so I can't wait until I get down to my goal weight.
I'll probably be running naked down the streets, I'll be so proud of my body.0 -
I am 5'11" and I weigh 202lbs....currently I'm a size 14, but I would LOOOOOVE to be in a 10. My goal weight is 170.
p.s. I love this group. I always feel out of place because I'm so tall, but this is the perfect place to compare goals!0 -
Sorry I'm late to all of these posts, but I just recently found your group. Apparently I carry all of my weight in my lower half....no surprise to my mirror I'm sure. I weigh 170 and can fit some size 12 pants, but size 14 jeans. At my lowest weight 145-150 I was in size 10 jeans. I would like to be there again someday, but will settle for just fitting in my size 12 jeans again. In shirts, I can wear a medium in some, but mostly wear larges (for the length--I have a long torso).0

its so crazy how even at similar heights and weights we can be different sizes. I just bought some size 12 jeans last weekend and i am still like 202-203... just goes to show how everyone's body is unique :bigsmile: 0 -
I am 6'1" and currently weigh 185 and am wearing a size 12. I can SQUEEZE into a 10, but I'd much prefer a baggy size 12. I started this "journey" at 203 pounds and still wore a size 12. I had my second child and was 220 and wearing a size 14. My smallest adult weight when I got married was 135 pounds (and looking at pictures, it was way too small for someone 6'1") and I wore some size 6/8.
I don't really have a weight number goal right now, just smaller than what it is0 -
This makes absolutely NO sense to me :P I'm 5'11", 213 currently, still wearing a size 20 jean -- and so many of you are at my weight two months ago and wearing a 14/16! How does this work?! Am I shopping at the wrong stores? My 20 that I'm wearing right now is LLBean (total mom jeans -- next time I'll get low rise because these go to my ribs!), but my other 20s are Venezia or something. Granted, they're all seriously baggy in the thighs and butt (because apparently all size 20 women have big thighs and tiny waists?), and granted, my waist is 40" and my hips are 47", so I have to shop for the waist... but really, WTF? How come I'm not in an 18 or even a 16?0

I agree that sizes make no sense for tall women. I'm 6' tall, currently at 197#. When I started this journey, 40# ago, my size 18 jeans were too tight. But I am still in size 18! Granted, now I need to put them in the dryer to shrink them, and cinch the waist with a belt. My problem is the opposite of yours, jan, I have a much smaller waist than hips. And it seems that I am losing weight from the top down. So far I have thinned out the top half of me, but not made commensurate progress on the bottom half.
When I was at my skinniest, 145-155#, I was still wearing size 16. (Although I think those old size 16s were probably equivalent to today's 14s.) I really don't care what the number on the label says, but I sure wish there were more choice in hip width vs. waist width.0 -
I weigh 222lbs at 5'11.5. Im in a very very loose size 18 pants. Ive ranged from 14-18 since i was 14...It'd be amazing to get in a 12. GW is 1900
-
At 5'9 I am 210 and in a size (snuge) 14. At 140 I was a size 6/8 ( doubt I will ever see that again) so I am thinking that it has to do with build- im a medium frame- and where you lose weight.0
-
I'm 5'11 and currently at 281. I wear a size 22/24, and between a 2x and 3x in tops.0
-
I'm 5'10" with a large bone structure and I was POSITIVE that I would never be below a 12, 10 at most...
Well, I wear Size 4 dresses now, S or XS shirts (that's an XS tank top in my profile pic), 4-6 in skirts, 6-8 in pants...
I have a low body fat % and a lot of lean body mass, so I look like I weigh quite a bit less than my 161 pounds (I was 294 at my heaviest and wore a 24W at that time in pants).0 -
You just became my motivation 0

I love motivating people, but I also don't want to set unrealistic expectations...You just became my motivation
It's really not common to be this size at this height and/or weight, but I have come to the realization that genetics really blessed me with a tiny waist, so if you don't end up being a 4 (or 6 or 8 or 10 or even 12), that is OKAY! I was fit and healthy at a Size 14.
Just worry about being healthy! That is sooooo much more important than the number on the scale or the size of your clothing!0 -
Each person is going to be different. I am very proportionate all over, and have a lot of muscle. So I seriously doubt I will ever be that tiny, but I'm totally okay with that. I'm going to be the best ME. My ultimate goal is size 12 0
