Curious about what sizes people are at when they are at 170-180 which is my goal. I am 5'6". Trying to figure out what sizes that I could fit into when I am at goal. I see cute things at thrift stores and I would buy some smaller sizes if I thought I could wear them eventually! I can't imagine being in a large even.....and a medium seems beyond possible :) But I thought I would ask here and see if I can get an idea!

Thanks!

I'm 193lbs now and wear size 12 pants and either XL or L tops. I'm 5-09. I have 33 more pounds until goal, so I'll be curious what size I end up. My 12 pants are about too big

All depends on your body. When My5'5" sister was 170 she was in a medium top and 12-14 jean

I'm 5'3" and 170 lbs. I am in between a 16 and a 14.

It amazes me how different we are in shapes and sizes. I have seen people my height and weight (and even heavier) saying that they are wearing 10s and 12s.

I am 5'6", 145 lbs. I wear mostly medium tops, some large and VERY occasionally small. I wear mostly size 6 pants, sometimes 4 or 8. It's amazing how much sizes vary!!

I'm 167 and 5'6" and I wear a M top and 12 pant. I carried most of my fat in my tummy area so if it was smaller I would be in a 10. I lost mostly all of my rear so 12's fit my waist but are saggy in the rear.

I'm not sure if this helps but I have found a site where you can put in height and weight and body shape and if has pictures of people that are also that size. You can also search it by sizes too. Www.mybodygallery.com

This is very interesting how different we are. I'm 5'2 and 183. I'm wearing size 16 or 14 depending on the pant. Would love love love to be a 12. I'm almost 3 months out.

I'm 5'5" (5'6" on a good day) and when I was 160 i was in size 8 dress pants and a large top. I'm pretty top heavy, and straight from the ribs down when I lose weight. Right now I'm in 18 pants and 2x top. Can't wait to get my old clothes out. They were CUTE!! ;-)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
