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 5'4 3/4" (yes I need my 3/4 of am inch) lol...

The most I've ever weighed is 278lbs. And I was in a size 20 bottoms and XL top.

My surgery was 03/20/17 and I was 232 wearing a size16 bottoms and a Lg/XL top depending on how it was made. Today I am 169 wearing a Medium top and size 10 bottoms(but they are getting baggy).
My goal weight is 160 I think.. lol

You're very young!! Your skin has a good chance of bouncing back keep moisturizing, dry skin brushing and taking vitamins and collagen and drink lots of water and protein shakes.

Thanks for the advices! I was just reading about dry skin brushing, I've never heard of that before, so I might be giving it a try!

You're young so you really have a better shot at tightening up after weight loss. I'm fairly certain my skin has been stretched out way too long to snap back, as I can see from what I have lost so far.

Hopefully you'll get to find a way to tightening up your skin as much as possible!
If you've heard of any good advices that may have helped you, I'll be happy to hear them too

Current weight is 160. Highest 255. Goal is anything between 135-155. I am going shopping this weekend for some clothes because my size 12/ large 10s don't fit on bottom and my shirt size is now a sm/med [emoji15]

Personally I have a fear of getting sickly thin. But right now my body is happy at this weight and my wl has slowed down now at 5 months post op. Everything now that I am in abnormal range is gravy truthfully. I am tinier now then I was since junior year of high school. It's like looking at a stranger some days. No regrets just the unknown of when it will level out and I can maintain keeps me cautious.

Hw 250 Cw 221, I wear size 1x tops and 18/20 pants. I'm 5'2 and cannot wait to be on the losers bench!

I went from a 3X in tops to 1X now and size 24 bottoms to 18.

Currently at 220, pants (22/or 2x)...shirts (1x/depends on cut) -- was pushing 24/26 in pants - and 3x-4x in shirts at my high weight. I'm 5'5" (ex: Kohl's sizing)

I am 41 yrs old Surgery date was July 13 2016. My highest weight was 250 and I am 5'5. I am now 161 and a size 8/10. I have no skin issues and feel great. Stick with it. I have not gained back one pound and have followed everything to the letter. Having the RNY was the best thing I have done for my health!

Thanks for the pic! You look fab. Helps me to visualize, as I'm the same height.

At my smallest, with the lapband, got down to 125 & wore a 4-6, I’m 5’3”
