    14 and some 16 and xl shirts at 5 5. It really depends on pants though.

    I think comparing sizes is so surprising. You can have three women of the same height who weigh the same and they could all be in different sizes. Some women are more hippey, some have broader shoulders. It's just interesting how differently each body is made. :-)

    My highest weight was 190 and wore a size 14 and my tops were large, but I am 5'4. I am now 143 and wear between a 4 and 6. A size 4 fits a little too snug and the size 6 is a little too loose.

    It all depends on your percentage of muscle versus...well..."non-muscle" (fat). At one point I was a size 12 at 140 lbs and later on in life, when I started working out a lot (and doing weights), I was back to 140 lbs but wore a size 6!. So, it really all depends :-/

    BTW, today I would not be able to maintain that weight....at least I don't think so. Somewhat far from that weight now to really say.

    Was between a 16 & 18 at 195lbs, size XL shirt. I'm in a dress in this pic but I was around 195 here and I'm 5'5.

    I'm 5'6. I wear a very loose 14 curvy fit in slacks and will probably go to a 12 soon and large on the shirt sizes. On the skirts it just depends.

    I have not been quite as high as that but I must say - the responder who said she had a friend who was 195 and wore a size 10 must have a very muscular friend. The last time I wore a 10 I weighed 130; and I was fairly fit at that point. Now after health issues have set in, I am 5'5 1/2, weigh 170 and wear a size 16. And sometimes that is tight.

    I am 5'3 and weigh 202 at the moment and wear all 16's and 14's are still a little too tight but by 195 I might be there. I wear XL tops, probably could wear L but I don't like tight fitting tops usually.

    I think it depends on a lot of factors, like how toned you are. I was 195 when I started here. I wore 14's but 16's were so comfortable I bought 18s =P
    I was getting up there, 16-18 and XXL.
    35 lbs lost and I can wear most 10s (jeans) now. I still have a lot of toning I want to do but I am out of the plus size dept

    Glory Hallelujah!

    These numbers are pretty surprising to me! When I was at 197 at 5'6, which was my highest weight, I was a 14 or 16 on bottom, large on top. Now at 167ish, I'm wearing 12s on the bottom that are kinda loose, but still don't know if I'd be comfortable in 10s, though I'm solidly a medium in tops now. I knew I was pear shaped, but I guess I'm more extreme pear than I thought!

    I'm 5'10 and I was a size 8/10 at that weight.... Depends how much muscle to fat ratio u have! Everyone should lift weights at least a couple times a day.
    Ditto but it also depends on the clothing and how you are shaped. I'm pear shaped and would buy size 14 pants and get the waist altered professionally to about a size 8-10.

    I'm 5'1 and was in size 14 pants moving toward size 16 at 197 pounds. My tops were size X-Large. That was the highest I ever weighed. I am so glad I found MFP :bigsmile:

    That's a little depressing for me. I remember in high school being 165 and still wearing a 14 at 5'10".
    It's all in the way we (especially as women) carry it. At 5'9" I was a 16-18/XL-1X at 195 but I'm a 10-12/M-L at 175.
    I've always been very hour glass shaped but after having my son my hips spread like they were butter!

    ETA: I'm also a LOT more muscular than I've ever been. Lift! It really is good for you, no matter who disagrees!

    I'm 5'6" also. At 195 I was generally in 14-16 pants - definitely a 16 in jeans then. Now at 183 I'm solidly in 14, but the waists are getting too big. Luckily my booty keeps up my pants. Back in 2005 at between 155-160, I was in size 12 pants. So even though it's such a difference in weight, I don't seem to go down in size all that much for pants. But for dresses and tops, it's different. At 195, I wore a 12 or 14 dress or shirt; and medium or large top. At 155-160, I was a small or medium top/sweater and anywhere from a 6-10 in a dress. I wish I had a full photo to show. My frame is medium and I have a proportionate/athletic frame with wide shoulders. A few months ago, I ran across an old pair of jeans at my parents' house from about 130-140 pounds (in around 1994?) and they were size 10 from the Gap. There's definitely a change in sizing these days.

    I was never 195 but 192 and I couldn't fit into my 14's so I would say 16. I wear 14 now (but I squish into them) and I am 188 but have lost some inches.

    This is exactly where I was and am! I'm 5'5" and definitely pear shaped....

    :flowerforyou: Going to come back and read others...

    But at 5'6" and currently at ~211lbs, I wear a size 16 pants and size large top. I have a large frame and am blessed in the *kitten*. LOL! I haven't been 195lbs in several years and can't wait to get there again. I think I was a Small to medium top and size 14 pants then, haven't been a size 12 or smaller in almost 18 years, since my first kid was born. Wow... :cry: *smh* I really, really let myself go.

    I am 5'4'' and just after pregnancy when I weighed 195 I wore a size 14. Currently 184 and a 12 is a little baggy after a few hours of wear.

    Even when you are shorter muscle mass makes a huge difference.

    I would have been around a size 18 Aussie - which I believe is about a 14 US.
