I am 95kg (~210 lb), 178 (5'10) wearing a euro 44-46 jeans (us 14 i guess) and xl shirts. I am aiming to be around 85kg mostly for health and because of being tired of the lack of clothes in my size. When did you drop to large/ size 40 (10)? I don't do much strength exercise so I guess for average build?
Thank you

    I'm 5'9 (175 cm) and currently weight 184 lbs (83.5 kg) and wear a size 14 for bottoms and XL for tops. My goal is to drop down to 145-150 lbs. At that weight, I wore size 8-10. My tops should drop to a L (at the most) since my bust was big even before the weight gain.

    I’m currently 196 & wear a large in most tops & size 12-14 in jeans.
    When I was 210 pounds I wore a extra large in tops and size 14 in jeans.
    So for me it happens pretty quickly but I think it was because I was in between sizes.
    I think I’ll have to get down to 180ish to see another size difference.
    Also I notice I lose jean sizes faster then shirt sizes I think because I have long torso?
    I’m also 5’7

    I’m 5 9, 145lbs and wear a U.K. size 12 jeans: they’re snug to be fair but they fit. I need to lose 5-6lbs more to fit into them comfortably. I hold weight on my stomach even at 138lbs.

    I hate women’s clothing sizes because I wear different sizes!

    I am 5’8” and currently 173 pounds - goal is to maintain between 165 and 170... maybe a little lower if it’s sustainable. I’ve also been weightlifting for several years, so despite the fluff I have a decent muscle base.

    I am a 9-10, but sometimes a size up depending on the brand. Sometimes a large, sometimes a medium. I am commenting mostly because I was just doing some cleaning in my closet and tried on a pair of hunting coveralls I bought when I weighed about ten pounds less (size small) and they actually fit with just some tightness at my lower thighs!!

    At my highest weight, at 186, I was wearing a 12-14 (they were tight) and large sizes.

    Sorry about the imperial weights, I am terrible at conversions! Not sure if my comment will help, since I’m a bit shorter and my highest weight is your goal!

    Hi. I am 5'10" and currently weigh 175 LB and I have abut 10 pounds until goal. I am just at the point that I can wear US size 10 and medium tops. I have done weight lifting over the years, but not enough to really make a difference.

    I'm 5'10, 140 something pounds (haven't weighed myself in a while) - I wear a US size 6, small shirts. When I'm at goal weight (136#) I occasionally wear a 4 / size XS, but mostly I'm a pretty solid 6.

    I'm 5ft7/8 and I come in 3 different sizes depending on the shop lol. If I want something that's good for my hips, it's big on my waist but then if I want something good for my waist, it's a struggle for my butt. Fashion doesn't seem to consider the wonderful diverse shapes of women.

    Thank you for your inputs! So what i hear is that at my current goal weight (i go smallish targets) of 190 lb i can sort of count on going down to large on shirts and maybe to get into a more comfortable 14/ tight 12, but to get to 10 I will probably need to readjust. :(
    Sucks since i feel comfortable in my skin already now and 180-190 lb would put me into the "a bit over normal" bmi range but i will still struggle to buy clothes. I guess that's how it is for taller woman (same with shoes ofcourse). Looking fwd to the large shirts at least (though i am blessed with a bust so we will see how this goes).

    I’m in a similar boat. Same height and pear shaped with a narrow waist and a booty. I’ve found that the vintage high waisted items are cut more to this shape.

    im 5'10 and 203. 16's are loose on me. I think 14s fit. I tried on an old pair of 12s and they were tight. (don't think I could sit without something ripping). Im a M/L top. Im guessing another 30lbs before I can fit into a size 10 or 12 comfortably

    I am 5'8 around 145lb. I just lost 150lbs so have lots of loose skin! I wear a size 6 jeans and Medium top. If it weren't for the stomach skin, my pants may be a bit smaller.

    I’ve always dealt with the hip/waist problem with pants, which is why I will never go back to high waisted pants. I found a mom and pop shop that just sells jeans (it’s a jeans warehouse) and they alter while you wait. They make two little darts in the back of my jeans between belt loops and that’s that. No more gape.

    5'9 and I weigh 260lb. Depending on the type of pants and their cut, I range from a 14/16 US sizing (not that women's sizing is consistent anyways) and my tops are generally about size 18/20 or XL/XXL in US, though that has a bit to do with the fact that I have a fairly large bust size, which was true even before I packed on all this weight.

    Thank you all! You gave more or less the range to what to expect. You are great!

    5'8, 230lbs, with wide shoulders & muscular. My US size 16s are super baggy on me (got them at 255) so should probably move on to 14s. At 195 I was in loose 12s, some 10s.

    Shirts are Ls & XLs.

    I'm 5'10, 200lbs, i wear a 14 US jean, and XL and sometimes XXL women's top. I strength train, so my shoulders and legs are snug/or too tight in most clothes with tops and jeans fitting loose around the belly and waist area. I don't have many clothes that fit me perfectly. it's annoying really, so i resort to my workout clothes often or super stretchy jeans. I have long arms to top it off, so often shirts just fit me weird. I'm not comfortable in them unless the sleeve somehow makes it to my hands and i don't feel like i'm going to rip the back out. So, i wear men's hoodies alot lol I do have about 10% more body fat to lose so hopefully that will help. We are all so different, it's really what all about what YOU feel your most bad *kitten* in! :)

    I'm 5'8" and about 195 right now and I'm in a size 14 pants and wear a Large sized top. I have a pear shape complete with wide hips and a booty, so even getting down to about 160 lbs, I don't see myself going smaller than a size 12 in pants. I'd love to be in a size 10, though!

    I’m 5’11. Around 195 to 210 lbs I’ve been in US size 14 jeans, 195 to 175 in size 12, 175 to 165 in size 10, and under 165 I fit size 8. Based on my body frame and age (43) I think I look best in the size 10-12 range - when I fit size 8 jeans I start looking facially gaunt and lose the boobs!
