I thought I tracked almost everything possible along my journey, but what size I was at which weights was not something I kept track of. LOL

I am also 5'5" and your estimates seem about right.

dunno for me, I was 300 lbs, 5' 2 and a half" and wore a 28 short jean, and a size 3x or 4x shirt.

I now weigh about 178-180 and wear a 14 or 16 petite ladies jean and an XL petite top or a L regular ladies top. (Still got big boobs)

I have quite a bit of leftover pockets of tummy fat and skin, and I am pretty sure that if I had a tuck, I would be in a 12 or smaller. But that isn't in the finaces.

I'm finding sizing isn't all that standard- got a pair of capri's that were buried in my closet, today was the first day I could put them on and button them without holding my breath in about 3 years. They're a 24. Every other pair of pants I own now are 20s or 22s and baggy as all get out. I'm at about 258lbs now, 5'3''.

Also, without the part of my doupa that I've lost, my pants don't hitch up so high and I am becoming indebted to my mother for her mad hemming skills.

I am 5'5 and bounce between 113-115 and wear a 2 sometimes a 0. I was 222 at the time of surgery and wore a tight 18 and 1x shirts. I probably should have been wearing a 20 and 2x's (lol). What can I say denials are awful :).

5'10", and I'm just getting started, but this is how it's gone so far:

320 - 24W/3x
300 - 22W/2-3x
285 - 20W/1-2x
265 - 18W/1x

I bought one pair of size 16W jeans, but I think that was just a fluke.

I tracked
I am 5'5 and was 233 sw wore size 20/2x and I am a pear shape

200-16
190-14
180-14 some 12's
175-10/12
165-10
159-8 some 6
155-6
150-6-a few 4's

All during my losses I went to Old Navy to try on jeans. I also went to Express or The Limited once I got below a 14 just to gauge sizes. The "new" sizing is much smaller than in 93 when I was last this weight.
I was 131 and a size 9/12 when I met hubby.

These store have me lured though because I can get in a size 2 dress if it has stretch! I'm still floored over that one.

I'm 5'9" (I was closer to 5'8" when I was MO). Here's what I found (note, the high weight here is higher than my starting weight because I had lost down then regained some and never got this high this time around...

335 - 30/32
300 - 26/28
260 - 22/24
230 - 18/20
210 - 14/16
190 - 12
170 - 8's or 10's depending on style

These are estimates from my memory and may not be exact.

Highest weight: 335 lbs, BMI 50.9
Pre-op weight: 319 lbs, BMI 48.5
Current range: 135 - 139 lbs, BMI 20.5 - 21
Goal range: 140-144,BMI 21.3 - 22 (currently trying to gain back 5 pounds)

175+ lbs lost, maintaining since February 2012
