    I was around an 8/10 when I was 160. I'm 149 now, and in a 6/8, depending on the jeans, but usually a 6.

    Sizes vary - a bit between brands, but even more between regions - a UK 10 is not the same as a US 10. Not sure about the Canadian 10, and I have no idea about sizing schemes in other parts of the world. (I haven't read all the posts here, but enough to know that people aren't giving the relevant information). Even within one sizing scheme, one size, say a 12 may fit perfectly on top, but not the slacks. If your waist is small, your slacks or skirt size may vary depending on how much they flair out for hips. In the past, I've bought both a size 6 and a size 12 (US) skirts on the same day -- and they both fit!

    I weigh 160 lbs and stand 5'6". My clothes are mostly sixes, some eights.
    The scale is my worst enemy.

    When I started gaining weight years ago, it was about 10 years ago that I was 160 pounds, I wore a size 14/16 at 160 back then.
    I'm 5"6 and had a stick skinny/boyish shape (no/super small boobs, no/super small hips, nor no/super small butt) ...an apple:indifferent:

    Today, i'm between 179.8-181 pounds and wear a size 14/16 now...go figure:indifferent:

    So...clothes sizing has/have definitely changed. I see people wearing a size 6 now that were considered a size 10-12 back then, when I wore a size 6 when I was 118 pounds and stick skinny. Today that 118 would be a size zero or size 2

    Wow :sick: :indifferent: :blushing: :sad: :brokenheart: :sick: :frown:
    Bumping for myself...for a self-imposed smack-down/kick in the rear and then a self-imposed hug and encouraging reality check and for a pleasant and helpful remembrance of my/the take no prisoner "tude" back then and doing what it took to get down to 179.8-181. I was hustling and had a take NO prisoner attitude about my weight-loss back in April of 2012--I LOVE what I was doing to lose weight...it was powerful to and for me--and have been playing the bum (living like it's no tomorrow in the eating, drinking and not exercising departments) for the past few months big time and been slacking off and thinking, living, eating and doing what-so-ever I jolly well felt like doing, thinking and eating and living and this extra 20 pounds I'm lugging around is not just proof in the pudding, but in the tasting as well. I stopped logging on and counting my cals and again...just living my life--not on the edge nor anything, again, just living to eat and be comfortable and do whatsoever I feel like...UGH--20+ pounds extra in a year and a half.

    It's ALL good as they say because thought I don't like it--yet bumping this post is just what I want and especially NEED a loud and true "wake-up" call to/for me--that's just what this post is...it hurts :cry: and at the exact same time, it's inspirational to/for me as well:drinker: ! I'm looking forward to rebumping this thread six months or so from now with a victory post--hmmmph!
