    I am 5'6 - 258 size 24 US
    Something I have been trying to figure out are the huge size discrepancies? I have never been below a size 10, usually a 12. I am normal bone structure, I used to weigh between130-135 Lbs & 10-12 was the smallest size I ever wore. I was in decent shape,played sports etc. Just curious how so many people can wear such small sizes at that weight. Even some people hereMFP that weigh 200 # Are in 14s I just don't get it. Any feed back on that? Just wondering :noway:

    I know... Read me reply above! It's too hard to compare sizes because there are so many variables! If it helps my measurements are Bust 41, Waist 32.5, Hips 42 & Thigh 24.5 (a 36DD bra if that factors in).

    It's just the shape of your body.
    I'm 5'6" 190 lbs and a SOLID size 16. I couldn't squeeze into a 14 if my life depended on it.
    However, I look GOOD in a size 16. Way better than I did at 216 and an 18

    I also take a good 20-25 lbs to drop a size.
    I'm little in the middle, but have very curvy hips - that accounts for my size. :) My waist might be a 12/14, but no way my hips are.
    My doctor would like to see me around 160 lbs - that is my high school weight and I was thin and in a size 14 and very happy there :)

    5'6", 187 pounds. I wear anywhere from US 10-16 depending on the item and brand. I usually start by trying on a 12. Because of my shape, I'll need a bigger size in anything that is tight with no stretch in the chest or hips.

    I am 5"6, around 181 pounds and wear a size 10 bottom and 8 top. Dresses are usually a 10-this varies if it is tight on the hips. I do have larger hips.

    I started at 239 pounds, and a size 16.

    It's crazy to see how many people are the same height and weight and wearing many different sizes. It's all how you are built and how much muscle you carry I presume.

    5'1"
    191
    jeans - 16's are loose and 14's fit but I sure like baggy clothes!
    tops - xl, some larges fit

    goal
    150 and size 8/10, I don't wanna be a stick!

    I weight 130.5lbs, 5'1'' & wear a size 7 jeans US. Looking to get down to a size 3 or 5 US. It all depends on the brand though. I'm hoping to get down to 120-125lbs. I wear a size Medium shirt in about every brand. I'm a bit too chest heavy to ever be a small.

    I'm 5'6" tall (just shy of that) and my goal weight is below 150. Probably 145, but I still can't tell. That should be an old school 10 jeans fitting comfortably. I have the pair I like to size myself by, lol.

    What that means in today's sizes, I dunno because they've gone crazy. An 8? A 6 some places? I hate that!

    I want my booty no lower than my 39.5" favorite size if possible, I'll put it that way ;) Right now the booty is 40, but the waist still needs real work!
