    I'm 5'9 weigh 175lbs. On a good day I am a 12 to 13. On a bloated day need to bump it up. But when I was 1 40lbs I was a size 11 never got smaller. Buy I carry all my weight in my stomach

    I'm 5'5", 214 and wear a 14 jean, and a 2x shirt. At 175 I was wearing size 8-10 jean and an XL shirt. So it really does depend on how your weight is distributed.

    It depends on height and body composition. I am an hourglass shape, my waist needs a different size from my butt& thighs, and my chest and thighs seem to be the last place I lose inches from. At 5'7" and 185 I fit a 12 for pants, I can wear a 10 but it's not comfy enough for me yet. I wear a m/l shirt. At 145 I wear a 6 for pants and a s/m shirt.

    I appreciate everyone's post. I have always been overweight.. I think in highschool I was about a 14 - and for highschool that is pretty overweight I feel like. But now if I was a 14 I would be happy. Working on getting back to that.

    For me (5'8"):

    180 = 14
    170 = 12
    160 = 10
    150 = 8
    140 = 6
    130 = 4

    I've been all of these weights multiple times, but I'm done with that. :)

    These are pants sizes, and I have a booty.

    I'm 5"2 and 150 pounds, size 4 in jeans and dresses. It just depends how you are portioned.

    Right now I'm 243, 5'7" and wear a 20 (maybe a 19 cause the 20s got loose after dropping down a little more). At 260 I wore 265 I wore a 24. At 200 I wear about a 16. At 180 I wear a 12 and at like 160 I wear an 8.

    I'm very large boned according to wrist measurements and I have very wide hips and wide shoulders with a moderate small waist (when I actually am thin haha).

    Hope that helps =]

    well Im 5ft 6.5 inches and 169 lbs(was 165 not too long ago), and I can wear anywhere from a womens sz 6(us) to a sz 10(12s are too big) but some 10s are too small and some are too big,depends on how they are made so I have to try on ALL my clothing. I have even tried on a sz 14 and it was too small but it was made small.I have wide hips,a smaller waist and what I consider big thighs. at 180 I was wearing a 10-12. Im a smaller size now than I was when I was 140 lbs(before I gained and lost). I also wear a a size small to large in shirts(I have wide shoulders).

    I'm currently 217 and my size changes with the cut and style of clothing. My shape is more like a pear so I wear XL shirts but need size 18 for jeans. I can get away with some 16w slacks or XL leggings. 18 for Dresses unless they are A line then I can get a 16.
    A good rule is for every 10 pounds u loose u go down a dress size.

    I'm 5'4" at 236 I wore a 22, at 185 I wore a 14... I close to a pear shape...

    Goals can sometimes be hard to set because we are overzealous. You could try setting smaller goals. At 236, my goal is just to get to my original mfp weight of 204 by 6 months, when I reach that, I plan to create another goal.

    Yes, body comp and body type make for crazy comparisons in terms of sizes. I'm 5'6" and at my largest, 200 lbs, I wore size 31/32 in virtually any brand of quality jeans (Paige, Hudson, etc) which is basically a size 12 or 14. I wore some larges and some medium tops. I wore all large jackets to accommodate my shoulders & arm length. Now I've lost about 27 lbs and am 17 lbs from my goal. Size 29 jeans fit perfectly, which is a size 8; my large tops seem too roomy but mediums are still just fine; and I continue to take large jackets for adequate shoulder width and arm length. Go figure! I haven't even had the inner fortitude to look into dresses...
    :-(
    Luckily, I live in skirts and jeans for work and don't need dresses or trousers.
    I have a lands end bathing suit that has 8 bottoms and 10 bra top. Both feeling kinda roomy these days.

    I'm 185 currently and comfortably wear a size 12. I have a larger butt and really small waist, wide hips. It all depends on your body type as well. When I was 160 I fit into size 8.

    5'6, 125 & size 4 pants. Before my son I was 150 & size 4-6. Sizes depend on how your weight is distributed :)

    Agree, depends on your shape.

    Totally depends on body shape . From similar questions before on the forums my guess is at size 10 you'll be a "normal" BMI. Take time to get used to your sizes along the way. 12 is small relative to 24 but it's not skinny by any stretch.
    It'll take you more weight to go down a size between 24 and 14. After that it should be about 10 lbs (depending on height) as other people have noted

    Everyone holds their weight differently so it's hard to say what you will look like/what size you'll wear at a certain weight.

    At 5'3" and 251 lb I wore a 20-22 or 2X
    At 161-ish I'm wearing size 10 or Medium
