I've never considered a size 16 a plus size. If it is a 16 regular...if it is 16 women's - try the 16 regular. The mind is a hard thing to change - almost like we don't deserve to be "regular" people.  I have found the joys of good will recently cause it really lets me try a lot of clothes I wouldn't normally buy - like those name brand pricy things!

I'm not sure how tall you are, but I would think at 165 you wouldn't be a plus size anymore. I really don't even pay attention to sizes anymore b/c everywhere you go the size seems to be different~there's no consistency in sizing today! So, if I find something I like, look good in and want, but I don't like what the tag says, I just cut it out, LOL!  Your eating plan looks pretty good too! I probably eat more than you do b/c I do 6 mini meals per day. Are you in maintenance mode or are you still trying to lose???  Great Job with the water too!

I guess it all depends on body shape because I weigh 190 and can wear size 14 jeans and just bought size 12 dress pants. I never  thought I would be able to wear a size 12 but this surgery is wonderful and I am so greatful for it and my doctor for giving me a second chance at life. I love to shop at the Goodwill and Slavation Army stores.

Most plus size stores start at a 14 and up
