I'm also around 5'5" and I was in a size 12 when I weighed in the 160s. I have a very small frame and didn't have much muscle then.

At 240+lbs I was a UK size 12 skirt and 18 top.

When I was 170lbs, I was around a 10/12. I'm 5'4" or 5'5" and an apple shape.

ETA: I have a large frame as well

It depends on how you are built also. I am 5'4" and when I was weighing 120, I wore a size 14.


EDIT: Wow, I am scrolling through these other folks saying that at my height and weighing 170, they were wearing tiny sizes. When i was 170, I was wearing a size 18. I have always had a large frame though, "big-boned" they called it when I was a kid. :happy:

For me, I'm about 5 foot 6 inches...

Size 12 has ranged from 160-175 (at 175 they got really tight lol)

Everything people said.

I posted recently my dress size (14) at my current height and weight (someone wanted to know). Someone else said I must be fat (well, she didn't quite say it that way) becaue she was in that size when she weighed 50 lbs more than me. She's a size 10 at my height and weight, which I'd have to be 35 pounds lighter to fit into. But I'm curvey - even when I had a BMI of 17 I was curvey.

Don't sweat the dress size. It even varies by who you're buying from.

Really impossible to tell because there are so many variables at work. Height, body composition, frame size, to name a few. It's wildly different from person to person. For example, I'm only 5' tall; many people my height are at their ideal weight at 100-105 pounds while I wore a size 2 at 125 pounds because of my heavy frame and muscular build. I can't even fathom getting down to the numbers many people my height do, but look the same size at a much heavier weight.

Sizes are based on measurements rather than weight. I found this site which is sort of a fun tool; put in measurements and it will give you your size at a number of major clothing stores. Check to see what a 12 is in that regard and compare it to your current measurements and you can probably get an idea of how far away you are. http://sizes.darkgreener.com/

Bummer! I have to lose more weight before I can even use this tool. :laugh:

5'6" - 172. I'm comfortably in most of mt size 12s, shrinking out of a few and shrinking in to a few. I find that the better quality clothing runs a bit smaller and the cheaper stuff is roomier.

I can never quite figure out what my figure is, but as it stands now, I'm in between a 10-12 in the stores I shop at ( I think, I haven't shopped for clothes since about 194) and I stand at 188 right now, and I've been in a 14-12 since I was about 200... ish. I'm 5'5".

Now I don't store hop very often, as I stay mostly in JCP, Gap, and Lucky Brand jeans. I went into Abercrombie and scared myself out of it because, for some reason, their store/clothing styles/how they do sizing freaked me out. And I'd rather not fail. Failing just makes me discouraged!

I guess I'm heavier than I look, that or as my husband tells me, I'm a sparrow in a pigeon's body! I dunno, but I'm hoping after my 30days of shredding that I'm fully in a size 10 at least!
