  • Same here. I have a long torso but even though I measure myself and it seems I meet the size measurements - Well, I have just received 4 simple styled swimsuits ( for lap swimming) sizes 12, 12L, 14, 14L, the same style, same maker and had to send them all back. Chest size too small or too loose, bottoms too tight or too…
  • That's exactly what I wore last year to play in the water. However, now I have gotten serious about swimming for exercise, I now need a Speedo type (reduces drag) formfitting swimsuit for doing laps. I am still working on losing another 10 -15 lbs , so still expect big and small changes to my body as I continue to lose…
  • Yep, that's exactly what I mean. Even within the same brand I can range between 3 or 4 different sizes. I now have to buy multiples of the same top, bottoms or dress just to get the right fit. Then return what didn't fit or didn't work. I really miss shopping and trying on clothes at a Brick and Mortar store.
  • My best friend and I weigh with-in 6 lbs of each other. I am taller.. Me, 5' 7" at 162lbs. I wear a size 12 in pants, large or extra large in tops. My friend, 5' 5" at 168 lbs. She wears a size 8 or 10 in pants and a medium, or sometimes a small in tops. When we were shopping at the Gap recently, she kept handing me size…
  • I understand your frustrations. I am 5' 7" and in order maintain / keep my current weight of 160 lbs - I cannot eat over 1700 a day. I am not sedentary, I get 7000 - 10,000 steps a day - roughly 3 - 5 miles a day. 3 years ago I was able to reach my goal weight of 150 lbs. I succeeded / maintained keeping the weight off for…
  • What an awesome thread! Exactly what I needed to read. Still losing, but slowly as I am almost to goal. However, reading all the posts has helped me realize that reaching goal weight is not the end point. It will always be an on going process of keeping track of what I eat, how much I work out and keeping things in…

  • Amazing! Thank you for posting. Very informative. Great advice, you kept it real and for that I am grateful to have read your story. Congratulations! Well done.
  • Exactly the same for me. Shoes are the hardest thing to find when you wear a size 10 wide.
  • 161 5'7" 40 / 32 /42 size 12 pants 10 / 12 dresses M / L tops Sometimes XL It depends on the brand/maker of clothes. I generally try not to worry about the number or size on my clothes. I care more about fit and style. If it fits wear it!
  • My husband started riding about 3 months ago ( about 22-25 mile a day) and he has definitely lost weight without changing his eating habits. Though he hasn't gotten on the scale, he has dropped one pant size. I started riding my bike 4 weeks ago. ( a very old basic Schwinn bike; but it does the job.) I only ride 10-14…
