If you're not shy... what size pants are you and how much do you weigh?

[Dznypal]

while trying to get my #S in order (chlestrol, blood sugar etc)

dr thought if Id lose weight Id get my #S in line which it helped for the most part

I started out in 6-2009 weighing 197!!!!! size 14 P jean

I gradually noticed that the 14s were to big so without trying them on I just took a size 12P

was I surprised that they were too big!!!!

so I exchanged them for a 10P--
not much after that they were too big so

I am now in a size 8P!!!!!

I lost 52 pounds in alittle over 2 years and have gained alittle back but still Ive been able for the most part keeping it off

I feel like weight distribution plays a bigger part than people understand I have been up and down on my weight all my life and I can be 200 lb and ppl guess I'm 170 or be 175 and look 150 ish then when I was 155 (about a month ago) everyone swore I was on dope (truth is sometimes multiple autoimmune disease just suck the life out of you) mind you I am 5'4
and all my life if I put weight on out of 10 lb 7 of it goes to my thighs and butt 2 in my boobs then the remaining in what's left...so I have always been a weird one that can be 165 and still in a 3-5 jeans (depending on the brand)... nobody ever believes it till they see it

Welcome to the DIS, @Ruthless 11 .

I’m 5’7” and weigh about 130ish. I generally wear size 6 in “regular,” not vanity size. Some size 4 brands fit, while in others I need an 8.

I’m heartbroken that Lord & Taylor went out of business. I bought many of my nicer clothes there. They had a great selection and the sizing was relatively uniform among the labels they sold. They had an excellent house label.

I had this photo saved for a few months waiting for the right opportunity to post it. Here seems appropriate.

Would any store dare sell something like this these days??? Korvettes went out of business around 1981.



I remember as a girl, the larger sizes were marketed as “Chubbies.” Yeah, great for their self-esteem.

 

[RogueX]

I carry the majority of my fat in my belly and I'm just shy of 5'3" weighing in at at 244. My pant size ranges between 16-20 depending on manufacturer and style.

Fat boys were “Husky”. Is that kinder, or less kind?

I myself can’t hide from the fact that post-menopausal, I’m a husky chubbette. I’m pretty consistently in a 10 petite (155 lbs.) but I can wear an 8 regular although they’re 6” too long. They must be cutting sizes way bigger now. Every time my doctor uses the word “obese” and gives me the look, inside I’m thinking “how is that possible when I only wear an 8?”

I'm 5'6" and weigh about 185lbs; I had gastric sleeve surgery 5 years ago and lost 110 pounds. However, I have always carried most of my weight around my belly, and still do, as well as most of my "leftover" skin. I still need to buy an 18-20 in pants, which makes me so sad. They fit my middle but are baggy baggy baggy through the thighs and legs; not a very becoming look.

 

[GreatLakes]

I prefer a 28x30 or 29x30 but sometimes have to settle for a 30x30 if that is as low as they go.

5'6" and 138.

 

[jo-jo]

I weigh 120 and wear size 4.....and then I wake up.


In life, my leg wears a size 4, right leg size 4....you can do the math , don't forget belly, butt, right knee, left knee, right ankle............

 

[RedAngie]

Yeah, I remember Boys plus sizes as Husky, but I doubt they cared as much as girls being called Chubby.

Men’s suits were Portly. I don’t remember what Womens plus size was called, if anything other than “Women’s” or “Half Sizes.”

I used to wear a size 20 when I weighted 225. Over the last 2 years I got down to 162 and my jeans are a 16. I do have some capris from the summer that are size 10 though.

Now over the last 2 months I have gone up 15 lbs and I’m trying to stop the train as you will but I’m not doing a great job but still fit my 16 . I think it has to do with the stretch in the jeans now. The Christmas candy and cookies are killing me. I know I should throw them out to stop eating them.

Same size here. 5’7” and weight fluctuates between 125-135 lbs. I typically wear size a 6; sometimes a 4 depending on brand.
