Sizes, weights and body shapes and all
I am pretty much hourglass shaped. But flat chested. Medium build. I am 127 lbs and wear a size 4 jean. They are a bit loose. So I would be between a 2 and 4. Tops I wear are usually size Small (4/6). People have always told me I look like I weigh less than what I do. I turned 42 in February. I am 5 foot 4 1/2 inches tall
I am 5'7", 157 pounds. I wear a size 10-12-14 pants depending on the maker, and size L top (although XL feels more comfortable to me). I run 5K nearly daily.
When I tell people those sizes they are always shocked, and say I look much smaller. I think when you lose weight through RNY it redistributes itself differently than if you lose weight by more "conventional" means.

I am not a doctor, but I play one at work.
I am 5 feet 7 inches and have no curves,skinny legs,no butt and no boobs. In other words,I look like a boy! I weigh 147 and wear a size 4 in pants and a small or medium in tops. I can't get over the differences in sizes from one maker to another. At one point I had 3 different sizes in my closet and they all fit!
I'm 5'6" and weigh 160, I am 54 and wear a size 8 pants. I don't have a lot of excess skin to deal with which I feel helps with the pant size. I'm not thrilled with the droopy skin I have but at least I am thankful it's not a lot. I wear size L shirts and some M's.
People comment on how little my bottom half got as I lost the weight. Years ago at this weight I still had a larger butt and legs and never got into anything smaller than a 13.
For giggles and grins I put on my pre-surgery Jeans the other day. ****pt one pair for comparison when I cleaned out all my fat clothes) OMG it was too funny to see how HUGE they are on me. It sure helped me see the difference. I really need to get a picture taken of me in them now and share. Maybe for my year surgiversary I'll do that in June.
I am 48 yrs old, 5'5, weigh 137 and wear size 6 jeans, depending on the tops, usually a Medium as I am 36D and need the room. I had a tt so my stomach is flat, but my butt and top legs are thick just like when I was a kid, I had a small waist and thick upper legs and upper arms and skinny bottom part. It is not in proportion at all, I favor the Maxi dress for this very reason or over the knee boots, but my body is still a million times better then when I was MO.
