just thought i'd start a discussion on what size you wear at different weights.

Me- i'm 5'5

at 270 i was in sz. 24 and they were getting TIGHT and some i couldn't fit into

at 238 i am in sz. 22/24(most are really loose) in jeans and wear some athetic/lounge pants in sz.xl(3 fit and 2 don't..lol) i have some in 2x(1 loose and 1 fits ok)

i'm thinking around 225 lbs i was in sz.20/22,for some reason that sticks in my head

around 175/180 i wore sz.14(prepregancy) and wore xl lounge pants

i hate how pants are sized so different..AGH

Hey,

I think that this is the weirdest subject in that I am 255 lbs and 5'9", and I wear a 20...and the some people my size wear a 26/28...I think it is so weird.

yeah i just edited to post mine..right now i am at 238(may be down a lb tomorrow..LOL) and wear sz.22/24 in jeans and then in althetic pants xl/2x

i don't think i'll be in a sz. 20 til i'm in the 220's. who knows though..LOL

i'm only 5'5(and a half!) so weight looks worse on me than a taller person =(

I'm 5'4", and my morning weigh-ins have been in the neighborhood of 188/189. The size I wear depends on the brand. Shopping at Lane Bryant, I'd definitely be a 14, and some of their tops are getting too big. At most other stores, I'm probably in a 16, even though the skirt I bought at Penney's two weeks ago is a 16 and too big through the waist.

I think I was wearing a 22 (20 in Lane Bryant sizes) at 240.

I'm 5'3" and when I was 240-250 pounds I was a size 22-24. Right now I'm 220 and I'm in size 20, although some of those are starting to get a little big so I hope that when I'm down to around 210 I'll be wearing size 18.

At 5'7 and 265 I was a 20/22. At 190 I was a 16. At 170 I was a 14/16. At 160 I am a 12.

Those are pants only, but I fit in a men's medium/women's large for a shirt (have broad shoulders)and most of my clothes have gone to best friend who is on WW and a 16 at the moment...so as we both lose she gets my clothes. I have been shopping at Old Navy because I can't afford clothes I'm going to shrrink out of two weeks later. ( For instance, I got a $48 pair of jeans at Lane Bryant and could only wear them for two months)ARRRGH!
