 So I'm 5'11 and currently weigh 246. I tried on some pants today at the store and fit into a tight 18. What I'm wondering is about when I can maybe get into a 16 or a 14? Any ladies out there my height and willing to give some stats? Thanks!

I've always wanted to be a 10 but I'm stuck at a 14. I am 6'0 tall.

That's funny b/c I was wondering the same thing. I think it just depends. I am at 209/5'8" and wearing a 16. Some 16 fit and some are a little big. I can't wait to be a 14! To me, a 14 is a big deal  :) I was a 26 when I was at 301.

Hi Grafix, I too had surgery around the same weight at 297 and was wearing a 24 but they were so tight I could not breath.  I am now 211 and am wearing 14 and some 16 but the 16 are definitely too roomy at this point and I am hoping to visit the ton of 12's I have gotten within a week or so.  I am 5'7.  I wore my 14 jeans yesterday and they were sliding down.  YAY!  I am shaped like an hourglass and I think shape has a lot to do with why we wear such different sizes.  My waist is 37 my hips 48 and my chest 37.  So weird when I look back to what I started from.    Gina  : )

I could have written your post. I'm 5'11" also. I guess I weigh about 245, but I don't know since my husband threw away our scale (literally). I wore a 24 jeans when I had surgery and weighed 271. I just bought and fit into size 18 jeans. I'm excited to get to a 16 or 14, also, since I can't remember ever wearing them.

I'm 5'8'' weigh 165 (today) and also in an 8 - isn't that strange? Body shape has alot to do with it though, I am still in large shirts.

I know that sizes go faster as you get lower - over 200i**** was a size for every 15 lbs or so, now its maybe 8 lbs to make a difference.

I am 5'9'' and when I started I weighed 281.5 and was wearing a tight 24. I currently weigh 203 and wear a loose 16 not quite loose to transition to a 14 but I think once I hit the 190's I will.
