    At my heaviest I was 260 lbs and wore a 22/24 (22s were VERY, PAINFULLY tight) now I weigh 210 and am a 20/22. 50 lbs and only one size down. It's so discouraging! I see others weigh in at 220 or 230 and wear a 16/18. UGH :grumble:

    It took me FOREVER to get through sizes as well! My first 30, 50 and 60 lbs didn't change my clothes size much...it will happen! don't get too discouraged, CONGRATS to on your success thus far!

    I'm 137 and a UK size 10/12 - I think this makes me a US 8, but when I was in the States last year I bought a mixture of 6 and 8, so I think it depends on the shop :)

    I am 5'4" 187 and I wear either a 12 or 14 depending on the brand. Most of my 14s are starting to get really baggy on me though! :)

    I am with you on this! It all depends on the designer/manufacturer. A lot of my 14's are really baggy and I am finding some large shirts are even getting baggy. I am going to love getting into a 12 soon!

    I'm 5'4", currently weigh 150 lbs and wear a size 8 or 10 in jeans. I think I'm probably the same size in dresses, but haven't tried one on in awhile. :)

    I'm 5'3.5" and 168 lbs. I'm currently in a 10, but depending on the cut of the dress (wrap a-line dresses in particular), I can get away with smaller. Old Navy's vanity sizing has me in a 6 skirt (even though I can't even get their size 10 capris over my thighs!).

    I'm 5'1", 151 pounds and I wear a size 10-12 pants (12's are loose and 10's are snug) and medium top (large jrs).

    at my heaviest of 172-175 my 12's were getting too tight and I refused to buy a 14 so it motivated me to start losing weight!

    230-210 = Size 24 or 22 depending on the garment
    209-197 = Size 20
    197-190 = Size 18
    190-180 = Size 14 (I skipped 16 entirely oddly enough)
    180-175 = Size 12 can fit into some 10's.

    5'9" and 130 lbs. I wear between a 2/4 on the bottom (4's in pants, 2's in skirts) and a size 4/6/8 on top?? I have really broad shoulders, long arms and a large rib cage. So dresses are a b*tch to find...the best ones are the stretchy kind, or 1950's style day dresses :heart: Before I started MFP, I was about 152 and a size 8/10.

    5'8" about 194 ish. I got into size 10 stretch jeans ten pounds ago and I'm only a few pounds away from buttoning up a non-stretch variety of 10's. :-)

    I am 5'7" and started MFP at 175 pounds and a US size 14 (bottoms).

    I am currently 160 and a size 12. I have to hold my size 14 work pants up with a safety pin!

    At my heaviest (230), I was wearing 18/20. I didn't buy any new clothes until I was in a 14, and I weighed about 180 then. Now I am 150 and wearing 8/10. My waist measurement hasn't decreased as quickly as my hip measurement, so 8/10 is a bit loose around my hips and butt, but my waist won't allow me to fit into a 6 yet. I can get a 6 buttoned and zipped but too much muffin top.

    200-220 (size 14-16)
    175 (size 8-10)

    It's weird how 20lbs in the 200's doesn't alter my dress size much, but 25lbs after 200 I drop DRASTICALLY in size.

    I've ranged from 205 to 220 and I've never been out of an 18. I'm really curious because the last time I fit into a 16, I was at 180. I really hope I don't still need to lose another 25 lbs before I go down a size. (But I'm only 5'1", so there's nowhere for all the weight to spread out!)

    Right now I am 156 at my heavist I was close to 170. I am very much a pear shape. So I have difficulty finding dresses that fit properly that arent high waisted and a line. When I find a good dress it is a 10.

    This topic is amazing to me- seriously.
    I am 5'2"
    Currently at 144lbs and a size 10
    At 165 (my heaviest when NOT pregnant) I was a size 12
    117 (my smallest) a size 4

    I am an apple shape though so its all in my belly. The secretary at work yesterday actually commented that I need new pants because the ones I had on were falling off (size 10). My legs/hips/ and butt are small and my belly is a buddha belly.
