Hey all,

I am currently 85.9kg/189lb and am planning to be at least 70kg/154lb for christmas.

I am 165cm (5"5) and was wondering what size you wear at what weight/height so that I can go have a look-see at different shops and maybe order some clothes from ebay, but I have absolutely no idea what size I would be. At my starting weight I was 96.7kg/217lb and in 18-20 and at 85.9kg/189lb I am a size 14-16.

Any help would be appreciated :) Thankyou all!

    This is so individualized.

    But at my high weight, starting weight, 168 I was wearing tight 8s heading toward 10 (US).

    Now, at 151 I am wearing 6 and some 4s.

    I am 5'10".

    At 174lbs, I was a UK14-16/US10-12 - on the bottom, which is the only sizing I pay attention to and at 150lbs I was a UK12/US8-10. At 130lbs, I'm a UK10/US7.

    I was at around 32% body fat at 174lbs, 28% at 150lbs and 26% at 130lbs. I'm 5'2", so a bit shorter than you. I'm thinking you might want to look at sizes 8-12? That seems to be the trend you're heading for, although of course things will vary from shop to shop. Good luck!

    I'm 195 right now and 5'5". I wear a 14/16. I'm almost comfortably in a 14, they're still a little too tight, but the 16s are too big.

    slightly under 5'9
    Weight: 217 (last time I weighed myself, at the beginning of the month - could be slightly less or more?)
    I wear a size 16 comfortably.

    5'3 and 166 lbs. I am in a size 10/12 bottoms and M/L tops.

    I agree that size is individualized. A lot has to do with body composition (muscle v. fat).

    Yeah, this is where height makes a big difference. At 168 (and 5'5") I was wearing tight 12's, and a few 14's. Now at 148 I am wearing 10's but most of them are still snug.

    I am 5'2, 171.2lbs and in a 10, which are getting very loose. So I'd say a loose 8?

    5'4"- 144lbs i comfortably wear a size 4 or 6 depending on the brand
    when i was 150-155lbs I was wearing size 6 or loose-fitting size 8
    i can wear small tops now too, before i had to wear medium or large
    i agree it also depends on your body composition & where you carry most of your weight(hips, butt, chest, etc)
    good luck!:flowerforyou:

    I'm 5'3" and weigh 185lbs and in a size 18, loose. Size 16's are still too tight (muffin top even when pants stretch out from fresh wash). I'm also short waisted so I have to find pants to fit my big hips. When I was weighing 130-135lbs, I was in a size 5/6. Huge part of this is going to depend on what type of muscle mass you have. In excellent shape, with muscle tone, I've been a size 3 and weigh 140lbs. However, any muscle loss and still wear a 3 then I look anorexic and my lbs definately dropped. I prefer to have muscle mass (I do have three boys and family ranch).
