I'm also 5'10, and at 321, my heaviest, was wearing 24 pants and 3x tops.  Now, at 224, I'm wearing 16 pants and xl tops.  It's really crazy how differently everyone can carry the same weight!

sizes depend on a lot of thing

first every company sizes things different some make there cloth big so your happy buying a smaller size

second every one has a different shape , depending where they store there fat

 and the larger you are the more you need to lose to change sizes

I'm teetering between 300-292 lbs  and I'm 5'6 and wear a size 24/26 depending on the cut.

I think it really matters on where you buy your clothes.  I am 5'6" and was wearing Christopher Banks size 20 or 22 at 285lbs.  But if I bought clothes somewhere else it was definitely 22/24's.  It also depends on where you carry your weight.  I was wearing 2X tops.

I have dropped 92 lbs and am down to size 14 and large tops.

Height and body shape definitely play into that. At my heaviest I was 305 wearing a 24/26. However, I hadn't bought new clothes for a while and probably could have worn bigger. I carried all my weight in my lower part of my stomach, I had the typical B shaped belly and big hips. Even when I was full term in my pregnancy I still had the B shaped belly, never went to the D shaped pregnant belly.

I did have some 20's as well...those clothes had me in denial but clearly I had stretched them out or the designer is off on what a real size 20 is!

You just described my belly. I carry most of my weight there and it's two big rolls. You are teeny tiny in your profile pic and that gives me hope :)

You just made my day! kiss Thank you! I still have the two rolls myself but they are getting smaller and smaller. I am sure I will have plenty of extra skin but nothing some cute clothes can't hide! I am wearing a 14 currently (I buy new clothes from goodwill and clearance every 5 weeks or so) and my 14's a bit saggy, especially in the bum! You will get there girl, rock that sleeve. I am only 6 months out!

Weird how we are all just so differently shaped and built. At 250, I was wearing a size 22 and now at 165 I am in a 12. I see many women post that when they are at 165 they are in 10's!    I am 5'5 and very curvy. I will probably be in a 10 when I'm at 155.....which I CAN'T wait for!!!!
