At 330+ I was in a size 28 jeans and 3XL shirt.

Now, at 270 I am in a 22 jeans (boarder line 20) and in an XXL shirt or, an XL in stretchy shirts

I have a 42DD bust that is NOT going away so far since the surgery so I might always been in the XL shirts even when I am in the teens in the pants dept?

At 320, I was in 28 pants and 3xl or 26 shirts. I'm 5'7".

At 260, I'm in 24 pants and 2xl or 22 shirts. I'm a pear, so I'm always bigger on bottom. My pants are always too loose in the waist or too tight in the thighs.

I started as a 42DD and am now in 40DDs or 38DDs. I tried a 40D and it was too small. Wouldn't mind some reduction in the chest department, but so far they seem to be the same size, just slightly "deflated". LOL.

Temporarily holding on losing more because I'm gaining! Pregnant with my first baby (a boy!) due June 2013, after two rounds of IVF. SO GRATEFUL!

I'm 5'6" and weight 154. I wear size 8 jeans.

In losing down from almost 300 pounds, here is the approximate weight I was wearing each size:

Size 10 - 160's
Size 12 - 170's
Size 14 - 180's
Size 16 - 190-200
Size 16W - 220
Size 18W - 240
Size 20W - 260
Size 22W - 280
Size 24W - 300

Fit is different though, based on manufacturer. My son's girlfriend also wears a size 8, but she shops at younger stores like Abercrombie - her 8's are too small for me and I think I outweigh her by at least 15 pounds.

Also vanity sizing impacts things. If you're shopping at a thrift store and purchase something made a few years back it will run small compared to today's sizing.

Before WLS, I weighed 300 pounds and was barely fitting in a size 24. 2 years post-WLS, I weigh 180 and am wearing a Medium top and size 8 pants. Not too shabby. I'm 5'9".

I'm 5'2 and when I weighed 180ish I was in the same size pant as you. Now, I'm 126-128 and wear anywhere from a tight size 2 to a loose size 6. I did wear one of my old size 8's around the house the other day but they were obviously to big. I'm a pretty solid size 4 for the most part. Size S for shirts, very seldom a size M and that's just because I want some shirts a little looser. LOL.

I am 5'5, currently 132.3 and I fit into a size "0" yesterday from Abercrombie.. and a size 27 from True Religion. Vanity sizing is ridiculously out of hand obviously. So is the disparity between sizes. I also fit into a size 3, 4, 6, and 7 respectively from other brands.... Also, preop at 230ish I was a size 24 in most places...

ETA: it is easier to compare with measurements, lol, so here goes:

waist 26
hips: 34
bra: 32B/C

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

As everyone else says, it the make of the clothing and how it fits.
Right now I'm 161 and a size 10/12 for pants and large or xl for shirts.
Still so surreal!

I am 5'3...I started out weighing 440 pounds and wore size 5 & 6 X in tops and bottoms...It was hard finding clothes that big to fit me...I now weigh 240 pounds and wear size 20/22 in pants...Same goes for the tops.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
