This thread confirms that people are all so very different. Zora, you seem to be the closest to me here. I'm 5'0 and large-boned. Trust me, that is a bad combination! I have wide shoulders, wide feet, etc. In addition I am large breasted (D or DD) after two kids (I breast fed them for a total of about 3 years, that may be a factor). At my top weight I was starting to wear 26's. Now at 218 I am in 22's, but they are not loose, especially around the waist, which is definitely my problem area. In tops I have gone from 3x to 2x. For many years I weighed around 210 and wore 22 pants and 2x tops. My body shape has changed since I was last below 200 (more of my weight is in my belly) so I'm not sure what to expect as I go down.

I never really minded being short until recently. Now it seems I can never each anything and no clothes look good on me, plus with my wide feet I can't wear a significant heel.

Whine whine.
