Any 5' 7" females at goal or close to it?
What size clothes do you wear?
I'm projecting forward and since I'm in XL right now, I am thinking M is as small as I will get. My goal weight is 145, which is a little lower than my doc and surgeon seem to think I should/will get, but we'll see.
I don't think I've ever worn a small as an adult, even when I was thinner, so am assuming that a medium will be my size.
ETA: Wow, sizes are all over the place, partly because of body type and partly because of unregulated sizing, vanity-sizing, etc. So it's probably not smart to purchase something by size today on the assumption that when I'm at goal I can wear it.
Thanks for all these answers!

I'm in a 6 or 8 pant, M or S top
5'7" and 151
Just met with my surgeon today and I had picked 150 as my goal (just cause it sounded like a good number and I honestly never expected to behere anyway!) and he is thrilled with where I am at but I'm going to shoot for 145 so I have some wiggle room!
He said I could lose another 10-20 but it would be very difficult because "once you are in the normal BMI range it takes a lot of work to lose". He also said the key would be watching carbs.

I'm 5'7 and wear anywhere from 9-12. I also have some shirts in S, M and L. Sizes are so screwed up when you get to "normal"....a size 24 and LB was the same as a size 24 at Old Navy...Now I get confused and angry when I have size 9 at home but this certain pair of pants I have to get a 12. Good Luck. Don't stock up on anything until you maintain for a while. Today I'm wearing a size 11 in juniors and a large top. Yesterday I wore a "small" pair of shorts and a M top. I can put on size 7 pants and even button them but there is too much muffin top for my liking.
If I could afford all the PS I wanted, I would probably be a size 7ish. I have alot of belly skin that isn't going to go anywhere.
