Icanmakeit..theses are very well made liz clairborne slacks at J*p***y right now. I can't believe you would also wear the 10. You would have to be in the 4 or 6 at 30+ pounds lighter than I am. Don't get me wrong, I loved when the 12 was too big and I had to put on the 10, which fit perfectly. But still weired. And yes, I heard about vanity sizing about 10 yrs ago. At this rate I guess I will be able to say I wear a 6 if I continue to lose.

Back 8 years ago I lost (atkins diet 92 lbs gained most back over the years) Got to 176 and only lost to a size 14. This time (Sleeve) it all Depends on the clothing - boot cut jeans - baggy in waist tight in legs size 14, trouser pants (wide legs) size 12 gaping at the waist fits well in the hips, skirt size 12 - fits waist, snug in hips.... I weigh 178 and stand 5'5".. it is all in the sizing and the makers of the clothing. I have just learned to try on the clothes if they are very snug close to too tight (get them you will lose to them by the time you know it (I am still in the 1st year. If they are to big or fit now put them back you may only get to wear them once.

Yep, I am thinking that I need to stay away from the plus sizes because a 16-18 in these sizes are too baggy. I believe that to accommodate for our waist sizes in this new America they had to make some sizing alterations. I am 6'0" - 246 pounds and fitting in a size 16. This is unfathomable, plus, I am moving to a regular size 18 shortly because the fit in the legs and waist don't work any longer. It makes it hard to find the right fit when shopping.
