Hi!!
Personally,I think old navy sizing is not accurate for me. Maybe its my buddy type, I don't know, but I've tried two of the same jeans, in the same size, but the color was different, and they fit totally different.
So I just wanted to let you know how I feel about old navy! Lol!! Anyway, I'm about your height, I'm just under 5"8. I used to wear a size 14 , now I'm about 4/6 depending on the brand. I started at 202, and weigh 135 now.0 -
Dress size is very personal to the shop and the country it is made for I'm a english 18 in most shops however my favourite dress is Australian and a size 12 which I fit. My goal is to be a english size 10 which is about 133lb, watch this space0

Am I reading this right? You lost over 100 pounds in 3 weeks?0 -

It depends on your shape, I guess.
I have huge thighs and backside, relatively flat stomach, narrow back and large boobs. I'm a UK 12-14 on top and 16 on the bottom, sometimes even an 18 in trousers. I'm 5ft 4in and weigh 158 lb (72kg).
And all the shops are different. Like for some reason, I can't wear my usual sizes from Next, seriously, their model is the the shape of a rectangle and has no breasts compared to me.0 -
I am 5'7" and weighed 197 a year ago. I wore 16-18 then. I am at 153-157 and bought 8 & 10 today because my 12s were falling off. I have maintained in that range since January and am quite happy with my size now. Good luck on your journey and congrats on your loss so far.
P.s.I also don't trust Old Navy sizing.0 -
I do not believe that there is a standard for clothing sizes. It used to be about 20 pounds between sizes, but now it seems that you just have to try on the clothes. Even the size numbers do not make sense. Size 0 is what? 0 means nothing, if you are smaller than a 0, does that mean you do not exist?0

Yeah, size is super wonky. I'm about your height, around 5'7, and I currently weigh 210 or so? Dunno, haven't weighed myself in a while. I wear a 16 and the odd 18, but my few 18s are starting to get pretty big on me.
I'm more concerned with shape and fitness than weight, truthfully, as I know those numbers lie. My big goal is to squish on down into a 12 or so, but we'll see what my body wants to do. I know this size is too big, but I also know I'll never be a 4 or whatever, and that's fine. I'm just trying to figure out what the sweet spot of super healthy is for me :]0 -

actually made me LOL0 -
I am a tad over 5'7...weigh 226 and I can fit in some 16s and comfy in a 18 at maurices. Starting weight was 250 and I was in a kind of tight 20. My first goal is to get to 200...oh yeah I also have DDs and they haven't changed at all.0

I'm 5'4" and 190, very top-heavy, and wear mainly a US 14, with an occasional 12 in pants.0

I am 5'2 and currently 166. I wear a size 8/10 in American Eagle jeans (I think they tend to run a little larger) and in other brands usually a 12/14 (I can almost comfortably fit into a 10/12). I am also very top heavy and I do not have a butt haha. So that also plays into my pants size.0
