    I'm 5'3ish and I started at a size 22, my starting weight was 275lbs. I'm now at 242lbs and I'm still wearing my size 22's. I'm hoping to skip size 20, maybe even size 18!. :) I don't want to buy new pants until I really, really have to. LOL.

    These are Australian sizes, so I'm not sure if US sizing is the same.

    I was 301 pounds when I was a size 22. Now I wear a size 16 at 245 :). I am 5'8 though which is considered tall.

    This is so interesting to me! It's amazing how different people can weigh/look at the same sizes. I'm 5'7" and when I weighed 277 I wore a 3x, Torrid size 3 or 22/24. Right now I weigh 163 and wear a size M/10. I'm always looking for progress pictures for women with similar stats, and usually (even with the same or even very close height/weight/bust/waist/hip measurements) when I find them they wear different sizes than me. I guess it's all about how you carry your weight and the sizing of the brand. I bought these jeans yesterday and if it wasn't for my HUGE calves (which I hear and hope are hiding killer calf muscles) and thick thighs I may have been able to go down a size, because the waist was pretty roomy.

    Something I noticed which may be helpful to someone, there is more "wiggle room" between bigger sizes than smaller ones. The workout clothes I bought at 277 fit me at least decently until I weighed around 230, so almost a 50# difference. The next pants only lasted for about a 25# difference, and so on. So if you've lost let's say, 30 pounds, and you're feeling down about not having lost many sizes or that your bigger clothes still pretty much fit, don't fret! Because when you finally cave to buy a new outfit when your larger size is falling off you may be pretty shocked at how many you really have gone down. This picture is day 1 (sorry I was hiding in the dark) at size 22 (though it was Torrid brand and it was snug, so I may have been closer to 24) and last night.

    Nice work! :)

    I'd agree with the wiggle room statement, too, yes. If I remember correctly, it took me about 20-25 lbs of weight loss to go from the size 20/22 to a size 18.
    However, it took me losing about 10-15 lbs to go from a size 12 (around 180 lbs) to my current size 10 (165 pounds).

    Different countries sizes are different so this thread is useless unless you write the country.

    this is such an interesting thing. i was a size 20 and was 274. peoples' body makeups are just so different.

    I never understood how someone could where such different clothing at different weights. BTW- I was 240 at a size 22. I am in the 260's now and wear a size 26 or 2-3X. Oh, I was thinking it also depends on how tightly you wear your clothing.

    Body make-ups are insane... the highest I got (196lbs) meant I was an 18 (UK). Weird.

    When I was at the 240-250 range, I was size 18-20 at 5'7" O-o I'm 170 now at size 14..

    Does that have something to do with body shape too?

    245-265 I think (takes me a good chunk of weight loss to move a size). It was long ago so I may not be remembering correctly. I know I was a size 26/28 at 307+ (my last known weight after which I'm sure I gained at least 10 more pounds) and that I'm now a size 14 at 193. I started dropping sizes gradually faster as my weight went down.

    My body's very bottom-heavy. I'm at a 22-24 on the bottom but on top, a 20 often works. I'm at 287 lbs right now.

    Not really, though. Most countries don't have the same sizes as the US, so a 22 doesn't even exist on our chart and we just compare our sizes to yours. I'm mostly a 52 in Germany, so a 22 in the US.

    I think this thread is super useful for the purpose of showing people that it's not just about sizes and numbers. We forget that too often and compare ourselves to others.

    I'm 5' 6.5" and was a US size 22 when I was @ 230 pounds.

    I have a large frame http://www.myfooddiary.com/Resources/frame_size_calculator.asp

    From this and the size 8 thread, when compared to other women my height, I seem to be heavier at the smaller size and lighter at the bigger size.
