This past weekend I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans since I was in college. I'm pretty close to goal now (6 pounds to go), so I doubt I'll be getting down to a size 10. But then I see people who are still over 200 pounds fitting into size 10s. So I was thinking about how different body shapes and heights really affect clothing sizes. I've been in a size 10 dress since I was over 180, but even at 170 I'm only just NOW fitting into size 12 jeans. I carry so much of my weight in my hips and thighs! So for the sake of curiosity, please post your stats and what size pants you are wearing now. If you have photos, that's even better! My most recent gallery pics are unfortunately pretty outdated. I think I was 185 and wearing size 16 jeans in those pics.

Weight: 170.2

Height: 5'6"

Jeans: Size 12

Height - 5'5"

Weight - 142.8 (That's what I weighed this morning - lowest ever. Shockingly, I'm still sloooowly losing weight.)

Jeans - 8s, 10s, mediums (My 10s are very loose now.)

Congrats @@JamieLogical!

Size 4 jeans

But I totally agree that cut of the jeans matters! I have large calves (I say it's from running, but I've always had disproportionately large calves) so for the life of me I can't wear skinny jeans, they don't fit my calves! They have to have a slight flare or boot cut

BTW this site is amazing for this kind of thing:

I am curious if I'll ever get to single digits lol. I'm nine months out and have lost 102lbs, I can't complain ☺

And congrats to you! You've worked so hard to get where you are. I know every pound for you hasn't been easy, so you've earned this for sure!

Crying as I read this post...such encouragement and I'm setting goals to reach.

I'm month 3 of 6 pre- op

5'2

210

Size 20-22

Looking forward to a new wardrobe come spring

I'm 5'7.

At 290 lbs I wore a tight 24

At 260 lbs I wore a tight 18

Now at 173 lbs I wear a 10/12 depending on the brand.

I'm also curvy so I carry weight rather evenly but now that I'm less than 15 pounds from my goal weight I'm down to belly and I wonder what size I would be after a tummy tuck.

I'm guessing when I reach my goal weight I'll be a size 8 and after a tummy tuck I'll be a size 6.

Here are some very honest pictures of 260 vs 173 lbs on a 5'7 frame, loose skin and all!

Starting out at 254 My sweet hubby move the button out after I popped it off because they were too tight. So I would say I was a size 24.

I confess that I'm still wearing my size 6's with pins in them at the waist. I have a bunch of pairs in that size because I thought I was done losing weight.

I am amazed by that sizes vary so widely. How are we supposed to know what size to try on?

@ Your transformation is amazing! One of my NSV's was to see "daylight" between my thighs. I see daylight in your picture!

Thanks! I honestly didn't expect my legs to shrink so much. My legs and butt have always been a size smaller than my waist so I never focused on them.

It's the most bizarre feeling to not have my legs rub together when I walk. I've always been overweight and my legs have always rubbed together so it's quite foreign to me.

You will get there very soon!! Take monthly pictures. I remember the month I "saw the light". I squealed with joy.
