Hello my name is Mariah. This question is for you women that are in the 5'7 height range. I was wondering if you are now or currently in size 18 shorts/pants how much did you weigh?

Thanks!

    When I was at 202 I was in a 14/16 and had a couple loose 18s. So, I'd say if I had gained another 10 or 15 lbs, I would have been in 18's.

    I'm at 180 now and I'm in 12/14s.

    ETA: I'm around 5'6

    I am almost 5'7 and a size 16/18 and I weigh 241... I have been leaning more toward size 18 lately... 16 has been pretty snug!

    Curious - why do you ask :)

    Hi, I am 5"7 and just moving into a size 16 at 220lbs. Some size 16's still snug, depends on where you shop. :flowerforyou:

    I ask because I REALLY want to be an 18 by the time I go to Florida in Agust, though that is looking less and less likely :/

    I think it depends on your body shape. I'm a pear and was around 200 or 205 when wearing a size 18.

    I was 235 wearing a tight 18 (5'6" as well)

    Around 215-220 I was in a 16.

    Moved around 205 to a 14, Down to 192.4 right now and my 14s are loose. I've squeezed into a 12 - but it's still a little too tight.

    I'm 5' 8" and pear shaped and I was a size 18 at around 215 pounds. Body shape and also the amount of muscle/toning you have are going to affect your size quite a bit.

    I'm 5'7" 215, and a snug 18. I'm sure my 18's will still fit even after losing another 10-20 lbs just because of how my weight is distributed right now (just had a baby.)

    I'm 5'7" and wore an 18 at 213. I'm just a few pounds below that now, but am down to a 16 (though these are beginning to get looser too). Strength training will help you lose inches and sizes :).

    I think it's safe to say I need to be in the 220s to wear an 18
