    When I started dieting I weighed 207 and wore a 16-18, I am 5"6". I am now 173 and I bought a pair of 12 jeans which are getting a little baggy in the legs and I bought some dress slacks that are an 8. All depends on brand, and cut. I have skinny legs and don't have a large butt. I'm all middle.So, if I can find a little stretch in the waist I can fit in the 8. My top was a 1x 18-20 and now I am in a large in some things. 12-14. However, if I buy some brands at certain stores I am still an XL and some I am a medium. It's crazy. You're right one size does not fit all. And from one brand to the next it changes.

    All I know is I want to be healthy.

    Anyone have some good ideas for losing the upper body? Arms, and waist mostly.

    Yea I am the same way I gain a lot in the upper portion, to tone the tummy try palates its incredible

    At my best weight and size I am : 149 pounds and size 8 in dresses, 10 in pants/slacks, 12 in tight jeans ( big bottom) :) I was also able to wear two piece swim suits nicely. I am muscular by nature. People could never guess my weight or size.
    Now, I am 208 pounds and size 16 pants and large dresses.The wieght went everywhere, even to my chest. I used to be a 34B, now I am a 38C maybe a bit more.

    Hi thought it would be fun to see the different sizes and how one size does not fit all, for me I was at a normal weight at 185, perfectly fit without extra fat, also my paint size was about a 12, now I am 260 (lost 15 pounds) and I am 18 paint size (lose fitting) I am 5'7,

    so if your brave enough share your height weight and paint size so we can see how no one fits in the same size box =) also I am interested in seeing if there are any other girls like me that just seem to weigh a LOT because of muscle mass

    I'm 5'4 and currently weight 135lbs. I have a hour glass shape and my pants size is 7. Throughout my teen and adult years (Btw 115-150lbs) I've always ranged from 5-9 pant size.

    I'm 5'4".

    At my highest weight, I was 203lbs. I was wearing a size 18/20 in pants. Right now, I'm right around 145lbs and I can wear a size 8 or 10. Though I tend to buy men's pants and can wear a 32" in ANY brand of those.

    5'7" and 155lbs at the moment and I'm wearing a size 8 or a baggy size 10 with a belt.

    Twelve pounds ago the size 10s fit without the belt. Hopefully ten more pounds or so and I'll fit a 6!
