I can find the charts that show how much a person should weigh based on height, but I want to know size and weight. Would you please post how much you currently weigh and what size pants/shirt you wear. Thanks

I weigh 243-right now going back and forth from 241 to 243 (grrrrrrrr .)  I am size XL or 18/20 in tops and bottoms.  Size 18 also works for tops and bottoms.  Some Wal-Mart bottoms - size 16-18 XL work also.  It just depends on the designer for me.

 I just had this conversation with "Star Jones" (shani) she said Black women have a denser bone structure so it all depends on your build. Those charts are based on European stats. I am currently @ 244lbs. I can wear some 20W skirts and pants. I am mostly in 22 right now in everything else. I can do 1x if it is stretchy otherwise i need a 2x. I had set my goal @ 135 lbs I am 5'6". Shani is at her goal now and she weighs 170. She said that 30 more lbs and she would be too thin. LOL I am waiting for the day i am "too thin". I have reset my goal to 153.( i would have lost 201 lbs) I will wait to see how i look.

I think sizes people wear varies quite a bit based on body compositiion, and basic comfort in clothes.  Personally you won't find me in something to tight or clingy, I simply don't find it comfortable.

I'm 5 feet 3 inches tall and I weigh 298.  I wear 26/28 tops, I could probably go down a size, but I don't like showing every bump and wrinkle.  Most of the more recent bottoms I've been wearing have beeen 24's.  I still wear a lot of pants that might be a little too big.

My goal is to get down to a size 12, whatever weight that settles out at will be ok with me.

I am 5'9 and I weigh between 210-215 and i wear a size 14 bottom and a XL top.  Its difficult to determine size by weight because you may carry weight in a certain area that some one else may not. When I fist had surgery my goal was a size 12 or 14 and 180 pounds but now I see if I get down to 180 pounds i will be closer to a 10 and I have no desire to get to a size 10.

At 5'7.1/2" I started out in a size 22/24 at 285.  I'm about 11 weeks out and at 230 and now I'm in a real loose fitting 18 tops and bottoms.

I am 5'4" and I weigh in at 143 and am fitting comfortably into 4's and 6's. Just as someoneelse said, we AA's carry weight differently and because of this, most people think I weigh considerably less than 143 but I'm solid.  I wear mainly small or medium tops based off of fit because of the girls.    Here is a site that might give you a bit of perspective of how size looks like at different weights via pictures.

Before pregnancy, I was holding at 194lbs at 5' 4", wearing 14 bottoms and L/XL tops.
