size and weight for woman
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.
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.
