    I'm 5' 9 1/2" and now 140 lbs. I wear a size 7 pants. I will never fit into anything smaller because of my child bearing hips, but I'm okay with how far I have come.

    A little under 5'11", 212 and a US size 14 or 16 and a large or XL shirt, all depends on the brand.

    I am 5'10 and size 18 is super big.. Like someone could de-pants me with a gentle tug, big! I currently weigh 224.
    I've been too afraid to try size 16. Silly, I know...

    I'd love to be a size 10. It would be the first time since Jr High if I can make it happen. I'm guessing I'd be around 160 lbs??

    I completely get it! I still initially grab clothes in my old sizes first.

    I was trying on my first pair of skinny jeans and they fit every where but the hips and butt. The salesgirl asked me how they fit and I said, "Good everywhere except the hips and butt were huge." She said, "Well, um...did you try a size smaller?" I did, they fit perfect and I felt stupid, but happy I fit in to smaller pants! LOL

    am wildly pear shaped though so 12-14 in trousers that are tight around the hips!

    Goal is uk8 all over!

    This has been interesting!

    5'11'' and currently 171 and wear US Jr 11-13...and wore that when I was anywhere from 165-185. I wear a med/lg top (that darn pear shape)...when I'm 140ish I wear anywhere from 5-9 (longs and extra longs of course)...I can't wear women's sizes, the cut is way off for me...Jr's only.

    I'm 5'10" with big boobs and a big butt. All my pants have to be longs or extra longs (at LEAST 36" inseam). I have more problem finding pants long enough than wide enough. Apparently if you wear a size 18 or more you must have regular/short legs.

    260 was my highest. It was when my size 20 clothes were starting to feel tight that I got a wake up call.
    215 was my most recent lowest, about a year ago, and I was able to fit into some 16s, for sure 18s.
    235 right now and I think I'm floating between a 18/20. I have the luxury of being able to wear yoga pants to work, so I wear Athleta's Bettona Boyfriend pants everyday.

    Shirts I've always been an L/XL. Most of my weight goes to my hips, stomach, and face. My boobs take up a lot of space in shirts, but hardly ever change size.

    My goal weight is 170, I hope to be a solid 14/16. My favorite stores carry up to 16, so I want to be able to comfortably (not squeeze) into their clothes.

    CW: 211 Just now fitting into a size 12 pant/dress. L/XL shirt, thanks to my boobs and the cut of shirt.
    At 225 I was a size 14. My HW was 282 and I was a size 22.

    I don't understand the clothing sizes people are listing. That's the truth.

    5'10"

    Started at 188 size 14
    Now 153 size 10

    I can fit into something smaller but 10 is very comfortable. In 1990 I weighed 140 and was a size 10 too.

    I am a 36DD with a small waist and hips to match my bust. I wear a medium or small shirt now - which is bizarre to me.

    Everyone carries their weight differently/proportioned differently.

    Im a little over 5'9". In high school and college I was 155 lb and was a size 10. That is my current goal weight.

    I just had my third baby and gained ummmm too much weight. :) Ive lost 10 lbs in the last 2 mos or so and now Im 199 and wear size 14 pants and L or XL shirts. Im breastfeeding so my boobs are super big and my belly is a little more "out there" than normal (hey my baby was 10.5 lbs! haha) though Ive always had a ghetto booty so my pant sizes have always been a bit bigger. ;)

    5'9"

    When I was 115 lbs I wore a size 0. That's my current goal. Due to medication changes I have gained about thirty lbs so I'm about 144 right now wearing a size 4-5. I'm losing about a pound a day which I wouldn't suggest to anyone.

    Disclaimer: I have an eating disorder and have had one for twelve years.

    5'9. At SW of 184 I was squeezing into 12s but probably needed a 14 if I'd been honest with myself. L in tops.
    At CW of 167 I seem to still be a 12 in dresses, but have recently bought some size 10 pants (although that's at the Gap, who I feel are fairly generous in their sizing). Still an L in tops (34DD). Was once told by a saleslady that I had "large shoulders", which I thought was just a euphemism for boobs, but since I can't get into a size 10 dress yet maybe she was right.....

    I have been as thin as 147 as an adult but still don't think I've ever worn smaller than a 10. We'll see.
