Question:
At 5,5 how much do I have to weigh to wear a size 8, 10 or 12?
I am a medium frame. I was just wondering what to strive for. — Stacie B. (posted on August 6, 2003)

Hey there! I am 16 mo. post op and am 5'5. I now weigh 142 and I am
wearing 4's and 6's. I am also medium framed. I was in 12's and 10's at
approx. 170 lbs, I believe. I think it really is very individual, since our
body types are so varied. I still need a TT which will help me to maybe
get down one more size - but I'm comfortably in all 6's and wear quite a
lot of 4's these days. I never would have believed it - that's for sure!!

Stacie,
I'm weird but at 192 I put on a size 12. Now at 165 I wear a size 10. I
wear a size 8 at Walmart. We are all different. I know people who are my
height who weigh less than me and wear a size 18. Good luck

everyone will be different , according to body structure and inches lost, i
am 5'3 feel free to check out my profile i listed the weights and sizes i
was in with each. I am now at 116 and wear a size zero . all manufactures
will be different in their sizes too most go by body measurments.

I'm 5'7" and weigh 164. I wear 12's and 14's on the bottom due to a
significant amount of skin in front. On top, I wear Larges, with an
occasional medium or extra large depending on who makes the clothes. When
I lost weight 15 years ago, I was 135 pounds and wore 8's and 10's. Good
luck!!

Ya'll are an inspiration! Im hoping that if I ever get post-op or shed
this weight I will go back down to a "normal" size again.
However, when I was thinner, was 127lbs, 5'3 and wore a size 12. Once in a
blue moon I could squeeze into a 10. Now my best friend, who is the same
height, was 123 (only 4lbs less!) and was a size 6. It was sickening, but
God wanted me to have hips. I would just love to see what a size 8 feels
like, Ive never been there!
Good luck!

I'm 5'5", 148 lbs, and wear mostly 10s (some 8s, the occasional 12 --
depends totally on the brand & cut). I still want to lose another 20
pounds or so. I'm hoping to wear mostly 6s before I'm through. (P.S. If
you want the ego boost of being able to fit into a size "X", shop
at Old Navy -- their clothes run huge. :-))

I'm 5'4-1/2" and weigh 183. I wear a 14 and am able to squeeze my
butt into a size 12 Levis (but they're too tight to wear). I can't wait to
wear Levis with a t-shirt tucked in! Soon.

Keep in mind garment manufacturers have what is called "vanity
sizing", sometimes the more you spend, the smaller the size tag you
fit in to!

Well, I am currently 148lbs and wearing a loose size 10. Funny, I remember
being this weight and being in an 8 twelve years ago, but alas, I am not
complaining. I figure 5 more lbs and I will be in an 8. I can't w8!!!!

Right now I am 170 and am wearing size 13/14....I am 5'5" and would
say I have a medium frame.....Hope this helps.

I am 5' 6" tall and medium frame. I started out at 258 lbs. My Dr.
set my goal at 154. I set my personal goal at 146. I am now at my 146
personal goal and I wear a 6-8. It all depends on how you weight is
distributed. I am pretty well proportioned but do carry more weight in my
legs, so I could weigh more than others and be this size. I wish you the
best!!! p.s. I do have a couple pair of size 4 pants also! Patti Meadows
