    I was at 195 about 2 weeks ago. Still in my size 16 jeans, though they are getting a bit loose, and wearing a large (sometimes) but mostly XL size shirt. Good luck!

    Around 195 I was in an XL and size 16 pants. Every brand is a bit different but this was the average for me. :smile:
    Edit~ I'm about 5'6"

    I am 5'2" and 190
    I wear a 12-14 and a L top.

    I actually didn't know my new sizes until yesterday when I went bathing suit shopping.
    Before, I was always a 16-18 and XL

    I'm still unhappy with the way I look, though, so I'll spare y'all the pictures.

    Everyone is completely different - also sizing for Canadian and American are different too. I'm 4 lbs away from that weight and I am in a Large-XL top, stretchy bottoms usually - but can squeeze (and I mean squeeze) into size 16 jeans. 16-18 for most things.

    Hey when I was 195lbs I was a UK size 18-20 which is a US 16-18 I think but Im short Im only five foot four so it can depend on your height I think xx

    These replys really make me wish I were tall. I'm 5'2" at 192 and wear a 16-18 pant. I'm a DD so I wear a 14-16 top or XL. I am the epitomy of hourglass shape.

    this is me: 195, 5'3" tall and wear size 18 pants, D cup wear XL tops or tight L.
    Pants also L

    At 195 I'm a 12/14 depending on the cut. I'm very large breasted & usually have to wear a 14-16 dress because of the nummies. My profile pic is me at 193, but my breasts are much larger than they appear LOL. I"m 5'7" When I was at my top weight I was a 24...don't give up. I am aiming for 158, I'm guessing i'll be maybe a size 8? I just dunno.

    I'm shorter than you (just over 5'4"), but at 190, I was in 14s, but they were just slightly big. Top is a large like 85% of the time. Some brands, I pop up to an XL.

    Size is really based a lot on height. I'm 5'2" and at 195, I was a US size 18.

    Build plays a factor too. I was 5'2" and 186 and a size US 14/16 at age 18

    Not quite sure myself. I've tried on a few of my Mom's PJ pants that were medium and also bought my first pair of medium sweatpants today and they fit... I think medium is somewhere between 8-10.. or maybe 12-14.. I haven't done the research yet since I'm not sure if these are all coincidences (confidence ftw right?)

    I'm also about 192-195 (been fluctuating lately) and am 5'6.

    I'm 5'2 and when I weighed 196 lbs, I wore 14s comfortably. 12s if the pants/skirt/shorts were generously cut or contained lycra. I'm hovering around 152 now, and I'm a size 10.

    At 189 I was a UK size 16 in trousers, but only in wider cuts ( i refused to go up a size). Now I am 176 and can fit into a UK size 16 skinny jeans ( haven't bought any new trousers yet because I'm broke). In tops I'm a UK size 14-16 depending on the shape and a large or medium. I'm 5'8.
