I saw this for size 22 and, as I am not a size 22, I was curious about people my size!!!

I am 6' tall and currently weigh 360 lbs and I am somewhere between 26 and 28 (28's too baggy, 26's too tight, go figure).

Also, anyone my size should totally add me! I find it comforting to be on the same path with people!

    There are groups at MFP that you could join to find support buddies.
    Ex: 100+ pounds with no surgery group http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/3322-100-pounds-with-no-surgery
    There might even be a group for UK users. I'm doing this without support, so it can be done. Don't give up.

    The purpose of this wasn't to find support. Just a general inquiry about sizes versus weight. :) Thank you though!

    I'm also a 6' female that's awesome. I currently weight 317.7lbs down from 328. I'm in US size 22, sometimes 20 depending on cut and material(which I googled to be approx. close to uk size 26). BUT 4 years ago I had been 307 and was a bigger size, I think because I lift a lot now as compared to last time I lost weight. So I'm still big and have a helluva lot of body fat to cut down on but I still feel like I'm not "that big" just because of the comparison. And my height hides it a bit.

    Oh my gosh! This thrills me! I always feel so tall and that my scale reads so much higher than I look and it's so great to know I'm not alone out there in the world. Nice to find you, soulsister!

    Was 350lbs size 26/28, 5'8".

    8 months later, a lot of hardwork I'm happily 263lbs, 18/20.

    Serious hard work at the Gym, eating pretty good, sleep and water. That's it.

    I'm 5'7, and I wore a size 26 dress when I changed my life back in September (trousers, I was more like a 32; thanks, hips). At that time, I weighed 385 lb (over 27 stone). When I'd lost enough weight to fit into a size 28 trouser, I was 322 lb (23 stone).

    I'm currently a size 16/18 and weigh 246 lb (17 st 8). And a lot more of that is muscle, these days :)

    When I first started losing weight I didn't weigh myself, but I think I was around 18 st (252lbs) and I was wearing a UK size 24/26 at 5'8". 11st 3lbs (157lbs) as of this morning and a UK size 12, if I can do it then anyone can!
