    I think everyone would be different, depending on height and body shape.

    I was a 16 on bottom at 210 pounds. I am 5'4 and pear-shaped (a 10-12 on top at that time).

    I'd say I was about 210 - 220+ pounds (95 - 100 kg) when I used UK size 18. Is it different from the US? But I probably still use 18 in some clothes, it really depends on the brand! I'm about 5'5".

    It definitely depends on genetics...I carry the majority of my weight in my top half so pants that fit my waist are big on my butt and thighs. 5'7 and was a size 18 when I weighed 230-240 pounds.

    I'm 5'7" I wore a size 18 at 250....I wore a size 18 at 200....I think I started to fit into a 16 when I was 180....I have a big butt and big hips.....I believe in high school when I was 150 (my target weight) I wore a size 14. It's a curse. :(

    Im pretty sure it all depends on height weight and body shape. Im 5'6" 215lbs and very hippy. I wear a size 18 as well. Even at my lowest weight(150) I still wore a 12.

    Right!, Everyone is different... i am 5'4" and i only just got out of a 16 some of them still fit... i was in an 18 for a very long time. I was 198 wearing a 22/24 and then once i lost 10 pounds i was able to wear an 18 and stayed in that size for months. it wasnt until i lost around 20 to 25 pounds that i could finally wear a 14 and then it was iffy...

    At 222lbs (5'5") my size 18 jeans were snug, now at 202 they fall down, but I do have a few size 18 that fit just right now. Depends on the brand of pants too.
