    My jean size is somewhere between a 6 and an 8 (which hasn't been the case since sophomore year in high school, I might add!), but my shirt size is still in the Large range. The bottom half of my body knows what's going on and the top half can't manage to keep up. At least a large is an improvement!

    Edit: I guess I should add that I'm about 152 right now and 5'3" since that was part of the question...

    I was just woundering what size of clothes most people are in compared to thier weight. I am a size 14 in womens, a size 15 in juniors and I weigh 173. I can wear a M or a L shirt depending on the brand. How about everyone else?

    When I was 173, I was wearing a size 18 in women's and an XL in shirts.
  • I'm 5'5.5", 287lbs, and wear a size 24 jeans, generally an XXL shirt though some XLs are alright.

    I'm 6' weigh 245lbs and wear a size 18W or regular 20. So height does matter as I don't look huge as you would think I would. I have a very big boned frame. But all in all, I am not feeling healthy and would like to lose 20lbs.

    You might check out http://www.mybodygallery.com to see how women your height and weight compare. It's pretty handy.

    I love that website! That is how I found out that I have a really distorted view of what I actually look like at my current weight...the way that I THINK I look actually matches the body type of people who weight 40 or so lbs. more than I do. It can be a good way to regain a sense of perspective and has reminded me not to be so self-critical and that I really don't look as fat as I think I am.

    Btw, I am 5'11" 229 pounds and wear jeans size 16 (sometimes 14) and an XL or L top (I carry a lot of weight around my middle unfortunately).

    I hate that site because I see things like this:

    Really? She is the same height, weighs 6 pounds MORE than me and wears an size 18 pants when I wear a 24W? GRR!! :grumble:

    :tongue: :laugh:

    I am 5'2". When I was 189, I wore a size 16-18 (XL). When I was at 177, I wore a size 14-16 (L). Now at 150, I wear a size 10 (some 12 depending on style) and mediums. A lot depends on height and build.

    I'm 5'1" and currently 193lbs. and dropping.
    Size 16W are loose on me, but I'm still not quite able to fit in to 14W yet.

    I was in 18W when I was at my heaviest (217lbs.)

    At my thinnest (127lbs) I was in a size 10.

    142lbs (67kg) 5'4" (159cm) and a size 10 bottom & 12 top. I started out 6 months ago at 209lbs (95kg) and a size 20-22. Shirts are a small. I can fit into my 19yo sons clothing & he is a skinny little thing. Only 6 months & I'm now running 11km (6 miles) a day and have entered my 1st 10km fun run. I have a bad back that stopped me working & walking. I didn't listen to the Drs at all & now have no back problems at all despite them telling me I still do.
