Hi,

I've been overweight for so long, I can't remember what pant size I was at a healthy weight. I'm curious about sizing in relation to varying weights. I was wondering if you would mind listing your CW and current pant/jean size. It is greatly appreciated.

A bit of information about me:

I'm 6' even and large-framed.
My CW is 266.6 lbs and I am between a size 18 and 20 (20 is tending to be slightly too big, some 18's fit and some 18's too small still)
My HW was 302 lbs and I wore a size 24
My GW is somewhere between 180 lbs to 200 lbs (I'll assess it the closer I get)

I would appreciate hearing from 6' women of varying weights with around the same frame structure. Whether your starting your weight loss, in mid-process or have reached your goal.

Thank you so much, lovely ladies!!!

    Uhhhhhhhh let's see

    6' tall, large frame.
    HW - 280, don't remember size.
    CW - 236 even. I currently wear a size 13-16 in jeans (or things at the hips) and a size 20 for dressier pants that come up to my belly button. (I'm apple shaped. And yes, I'm working on it.) Generally a L-XL in shirts... Dresses are finicky, it just depends on how they're made. Most of my pretty dress clothes are from The J. Peterman Company, in which sizes run a bit small. 14-18 I guess would be the dress range in my closet for those.
    GW - 180-200.

    I have no idea what size I was at a healthy weight. I definitely can't wait to see though.

    I'm 6-foot even; currently about 178 lbs (I fluctuate about 5 pounds throughout the week) and I'm wearing a size 10 jean at American Eagle. I'm typically a 10/12, usually a 12 in dresses because they're a bit longer. I'm at my goal but I am getting a tummy tuck at the end of May, so my size (but not weight) may drop once the extra skin is gone. I look & feel amazing at this weight!

    I'm 6' as well. I currently weigh 165 and wear a size 14 jeans, M/L top, and 11 dress. I don't have much in the boobie department, but I've got an *kitten*!

    My highest weight was 195 and I wore a 16 and XL shirt. My goal weight is about 155.

    I can't comment much about myself because I am larger than you and have been about this size all of my adult life. But my sister started at 370 and a 26/28 and is now about 170 and in a 9/10. She is 5'11".

    This is very helpful. Although, fortunately, I'm discovering that most of my weight loss is coming out of my mid-section, hips and thighs. I'm short-waisted and my boobs are humungous chest (40 M). Even at my thinnest (130 lbs) I wore an H/I cup. So shirts and dresses have always been a challenge. Luckily, I mostly wear pants. : )

    I was just going to post a reply about this. That extra inch that you have may make a world of difference. I would LOVE to wear that size when I hit that weight!! (fingers crossed). Hell, I'd be happy to wear that size when I hit my goal weight.

    Are you smaller framed? You look so long and lean. : )

    I have broad shoulders and hip bones but yes I would say I'm smaller framed. I also have a lot of muscle from running!

Im happy at that weight to be honest, but would love to go just below 155 - just for the achievement!!! I havent seen anything below 11stones since I was very, very young!! x

    I'm also 6' even. CW255. I have a large frame, but a lot of my weight is on my legs. I find it harder to find pants because I actually have a smaller waist. I have some great dress pants from Eddie Bauer that are 20T and they fit great now. For jeans - hey, a number is just a number! They all run so different that even when you find a pair you like and you buy 2, the other pair will fit differently.

    So true about the jeans. Even when you buy multiple pairs in the same size, in different washes, from the same store, they fit differently.

    Interesting how sizes vary.

    I am about 6' 1/2" and currently weigh 169, and my best fitting jeans are 14, but I also still wear my size 16 ones even though they're a little baggy. When I was 189 (my highest nonpregnancy weight at the beginning of this year) I had just bought some size 18 dress pants. They were kind of big around the waist but I needed it for my ever-growing butt. They are now way too big all over and I am going to give them to a tall friend.

    Sounds like I should start shopping at American Eagle...apparently I'd be a 10 in their jeans! (Yeah, I know the number doesn't really matter, blah blah blah)

    I am 5'11 and am currently 199.8 (yes that is how I tell people my weight right now, that .8 is a big deal lol) and my 14s are getting a bit loose and the 12s I bought are still a bit snug, but totally wearable (I'm just vain and like them to be perfect).

    Edit: I am also large framed :bigsmile:
