Can you tell me what size you wear??



Recommended Posts

I think 1X and 16 for pants. Just order online! Order something from Zappos (they have apparel) that has free shipping in both directions. Shopping is boring anyway!

I would take measurements and look at size charts on the clothing manufacturer website to find a size chart.

Also, when is the last time you were professionally fitted for a bra? I noticed yesterday that my clothing appears quite different when you have proper support. I took off the sports bra and put on my 38DDD, which is a change from the 40DDD I was a month ago. I just happened to have the right size at home in the drawer. But shazam! As soon as I put on everything looked better.

You really need to measure and accomodate your shape - i'm a pear so always go by hip as a too large waist can be altered, but you can still getbit wrong as sizes vary by brand. But once you start youll get to know your faves. I,m 135lb and a US6 but im 5 ft 10 so little help.

When I got weighed at my surgeons office last Monday. I see I am down to 255, some people are starting their journey around their or lower!) My heaviest weight was 356.

I tried on size 20 Jeans, still to tight. So I need some 22s in Jeans.

I posted a add on our clothing exchange, I hope to get some hits.

I could use a couple of pair for the fall here in Northern, Michigan.

Up here some of the branches are already starting to change.

That's to early for me.

I am 5'3" short.

Sizing is so difficult not only do they differ by brand but by style within each brand. So annoying! I am 5'4" 231, 42D, My 20W bottoms are a little big but 18W are a little small. Depending on the how tops run I can take a XL or XXL from the Misses dept or 1X from Womens. I am def. pear shaped.

This can be "UNREAL" .

I am looking for 22 jeans so that I have some for the Fall. I have 20's, but they don't fit yet.

My niece gave me a pair of CREPE Slacks at a size 18... I just gave the look like yeah right ! and said Thanks I appreciate it.

Well today the Dr's Office called us in, and I thought I wonder how they fit? So I would see how far away from them I was in size.

"THEY FIT ! " I couldn't believe it.... I was very Happy to be out in White on a Gorgeous Day, but the Topper was they looked GOOD.

So I'll tell you what ! We really need to bring the jobs back to this Country for making Cloths, and everything.....

It was a Great Feeling, and still is. But I don't know about these cloths sizes anymore.

The Husband went in for the Tumor on his spine, and so far it's Benign... :broken_heart: We will see what the Neurosurgeon has to say....

I hope she is right....

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
