    I'm 5'7" ish, and 188lbs.

    Depending on the brand (women's clothing sizes are dumb) I'm at a 10 or a 12 in pants/dresses (mostly 10s now, woo!) and an L in shirts and such.

    I started at 243lbs, and I was a (too tight) 16 or an 18, and an XL or XXL.

    I'm 5'7'' and currently 143lb - in a size 10-12 UK (usually 10 top, 10-12 bottoms as I'm a typical pear shape).

    I'm 5'8" 165.8 age 47

    I wear a medium top and a size 8/10 pants. But I can still tell I'm still losing weight so I'm gonna hold off on buying new clothes until 10 more lbs comes off. I work out early in the mornings @ 5:30 am lifting weights and a little cardio then Yoga on Saturdays. Plus I've been tracking my food and measuring everything I eat. I used to run but so many years of running have stressed my knees. Plus I'm going through perimenopause so it's very difficult with the hot flashes.

    5'7" and currently 125lbs. I'm generally between a 2/4 (US). I mostly choose the 4 because I like my clothes loose fitting.

    I've always worn different size tops and bottoms and I currently can wear anything from small to xl depending on the cut! You just have to try on and go with it. Size numbers mean NOTHING. Sizing charts based on measurements are of limited value. You will notice online that a store gives you one sizing chart for ALL clothes, even those with different cuts or made by different vendors.

    I was thinking about this the other day - female sizing is INSANE!!!

    You have misses and juniors and womens and plus. Some are sized even numbers, some are sized odd numbers, and some are sized multiple numbers.

    And NO two brands are the SAME!

    I had a pair of NYD jeans that were 18 while I was wearing Avenue jeans that were 24.

    Be that as it may ...

    5’10” and 239 lbs
    Size 18 jeans (Avenue). I have a pair of 16s in the wings that are just a bit too tight.
    Tops - t-shirts are still xl, down from 3xl. I’m all over the board in this department. I’m still wearing some 3x turtlenecks, they’ll go come spring.

    I think US sizing may be more complicated than UK sizing, but we definitely have the vanity sizing issue here too.

    5’5.5” and 114lbs ish
    UK size 6-8 (think that’s US 2-4?) But can be down to a 4 or up to a 10 depending on brand and cut/style
    Small or x-small

    5' 9 239 pounds
    Tops some 18-20, some 22 So in the XXL to 2X range.
    Bottoms all over the place depends on brand. In jeans size 22, dress pants size 20

    I started in size 26 pants that were tight. So far have not had to buy pants. But will be getting rid of clothes towards end of year donating. Have bought some shorts, and pull up pants in smaller sizes that are elastic so can wear through rest of weight loss journey.

    I'm 5'5, about 190, and a 10/11 in Jeans. L/XL in buttoned tops (boooobs) and anything from an S to an XL in t-shirts, sweaters, etc.

    I've also been wearing exclusively skirts for like a month because I need to buy new jeans and its a headscratcher, and the skirts are less sensitive to weight (and wear out less), though a few non-elastic ones are starting to be big and not sitting right anymore. Also, my last pair of jeans were a 13 (for some reason my local Ross' has way more selection in the odd sizes), and I want to see if I can skip a size and buy an 8/9 in a few more weeks or so.

    153ish (My scale has been jumping around a lot), womens US size 6 Levis jeans, and a Medium men's t-shirt right now (I can wear Small but prefer the roominess of a Medium. I wear medium in womens tops usually, sometimes large from the "teens" sections).

    Sizes seeme to be so arbitrary so depending on the brand clearly from looking over the people here there is a huge range...there is a great website (I will have to come back later on a government computer and I can't search it right now) that actual has real pictures of real bodies and you can put in your stats and se ehat other "bodies" look like that are the same size as you..it's amazing truly...the range is wicked.

    But here goes I am currently 158 lbs and comfortably wear a size 10 (lossely but not falling off) in shirts I wear a Medium and in braa (is this tmi?) 32F/32FF

    * When I was 200-205 I wore size 18/XXL or 1XW
    I'm 5 foot 1

    Is it MyBodyGallery? I used to look at that!

    5'7" broad shoulders, no curves, long limbs.

    ~152 pounds. Most of my extra weight gets carried around my mid-section (total apple, which really sucks as even 10 pounds over weight looks bad, none the less my current ~25 pounds!).

    I wear a 6-10 in pants depending on the brand/cut, 8 is around the most comfortable, but is starting to get a tad loose while my 6's are still a tad snug. Euro sizes I'm a pretty solid 10 still if it's going to fit right and very comfortably.

    Shirts I tend to wear a women's M, but that has more to do with my shoulders and arm muscle. Struggle to fit them into narrow little cuts that are popular.

    Currently, I weight around 248lbs., and wear size 18/20 pants.

    I would love to get below 200 by the end of the year, but I feel like that will not happen. But we shall see.

    Sometimes your body shape is acccentuated by weight gain or loss. I carry a lot of weight in my thighs, so while I might get away with a size 6 shirt, a size 10 dress can still be a challenge. For me it changed a bit when I was smaller... but it started out with my stomach slimming down and my hips took time to catch up. A weightloss-body shape bell curve of sorts.

    5'8 / 182 lbs / size M/L top (6-10) / size L pant (12)

    I stopped wearing pants like 7 years ago b/c I gave up on waist bands :(
    I carry most of my weight in my belly (even before 4 c-sections) plus I have broader shoulders.
    I've lost 36lbs--most of it left my boobs, hips, legs first, but finally seeing some change in my torso.
    I went from 227 to 191 in 2.5 months. I found this dress in a box I gathered to donate. It still with the tags on it that they had sent me last year in a 12 instead of 16/18 (final sale, no returns to Loft). I never thought it would fit!
    I still have about 30lbs to lose to get down to a healthy weight, but I'm thrilled to toss the 1X for a L :)

    Vanity sizing makes this question difficult to answer but I'll try anyway...

    (US sizes)
    5'2 138-140ish

    Pants and dresses: 4-6-8 depending on brand and cut. I'm curvy in the true sense, hip to waist.

    Tops: small or medium
