    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.

    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!

    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.

    size 16 at 5' 4" . Reading the replies, each inch of height seems to be a size less.
