what is your ht/wt and clothing size?



Recommended Posts

I was thinking about my "goal weight" and I really have more of a "goal size" in my mind. I tried to research what a typical weight range would be for my height and potential goal weight and found a forum of body builders who gave their stats. It was really interesting to read through, but due to the nature of the site, there wasn't much plus size response!

I realize that sizing fluctuates, and the same ht/wt people can be differing sizes, but I thought it would be interesting to see what other people's clothing sizes are.

I'll start!

I'm currently 5'10" 330. I wear a size 24 or 26 pants and 3x top.

My lowest weight was 310 and I was a size 22 or 24 pant and 1x/2x top.

I'm 5'2.5" and I've been stuck at 181. I wear a size 10 in Jeans and an XL in shirts. I don't know if my shirt size went down yet. Probably has since everyone I know says my shirts are big on me now.

I am 5' 4". My highest weight was 280# a few years ago. My weight when deciding on surgery was 256# and I wrote a 22 pants and 2-3 x shirts. I am 8 weeks out. I am at 198# My pants size is 20, and still 2x in shirts butI did get rid of alot of my shirts that seemed baggy and feel better in shirts that conform to my waist a little better. Yesterday I noticed at work I could feel my scrub pants sagging in the but area and I know I've lost a bra cup lol oh and I'm starting to get little bat wings so hopefullyI can tone those at the gym. But I love laying in bed and being able to feel my hip bones. I still fit I my dresses but I feel they lay more flattering to my figure. I'm so happy I decided to have this surgery and with the lifestyle changes I'd made prior I knew I was ready to commit to the changes needed.

When I was at my lowest weight, I used to LOVE laying down and feeling my hips and rib bones, lol. Right now, I'm only about 20 lbs heavier than my lowest weight, it's amazing how that 20lbs makes it harder to feel those bones! Looking forward to those NSVs again after my revision. :)

Hi! I'm 5'6" and two weeks postop today. My highest weight was just over 300 & I was a size 26. Had lapband 12/2009 & got down to 170 & size 12. Leveled off at 185/size 14 & felt good. Lost lapband 10/2014. Worked out [emoji123] at the gym hard but weight still crept up to 276/bursting a size 22. Went back to surgeon for RNY. Current weight 233/size 20.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
