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.

150 was my first goal weight, just because it sounded good.  But then I started thinking, why not try for lower?  So I said 145.  Which is lower than my docs think I need to be/will get.  Which... we'll see!

I am 5'7 and really have no idea either where I'll end up. Not even sure what my goal weight should be, but I suspect around 150. I am still 40 pounds over that and wearing a 16 pant and a large top, so maybe M top and a 12 pant? As you can see, I am really no help - clueless!

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.

edited to add: I'm 5'7 and weigh 148-152

the above website is great tool to see what different weights at different heights look like and what size the lady's are wearing. There are so many different body types at each weight this might help you find yours.

I am 5'7 and I chose my goal because I am a thick gal!  Currently I am wearing between a 6-12 again depending on the clothes.  I wear a medium to large tops(because of the girls)  Surgeon wants me in the 150's.  I am going for 5 lbs at time till I feel comfortable

 

Here I am at 190ish

 

Here I am at 170ish
