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 My most recent gallery pics are unfortunately pretty outdated.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.

I can wear anything from a size 10 to a size 6, depending upon the style. If you are carrying weight in your thighs and hips I would recommend looking for the words curvy fit in the pants description. They are sized to accommodate a more rounded butt and bigger thighs. I can wear a size 6 from old navy, curvy fit pants but need a 10 from AEO. I usually buy a size 8 in brands that are not cut for no curve having teenagers or cut as generously as Old Navy cuts their pants.

My surgery was on August 18, and I've been able to comfortably wear size 12 jeans again for the past couple of weeks. The highest shelf of my closet is like a graveyard of jeans in smaller sizes from the past, and I'm hopeful to be able to get out the step-ladder and take some down in the near future.

Currently 220 lbs. Height 5'11.5". Wearing a 12 or 14 size jean, depending on how it's made/cut.

I'm 5'6" and hang out around 145 pounds. I wear a size 4 jeans most of the time, (occasionally a 6), 28 in a Miss Me or other designer that sizes that way. I'm a size larger on top than on bottom and always have been so I'm about an 8 in a dress.
