Bjuba, I don't know about sizes either. I am 5'7 1/2 and I did weigh 140 just before I got married -- about 28 years ago! At that time, I wore mostly 14 and I remember wearing one Size 12 skirt. I didn't stay there long, though, and was heavy before and after it.

Now .. it's hard to do the math. Conventional wisdom says it's one size per 10 pounds. I am wearing mostly size 18 now at 215. Using this rule, I should wear 16 at 205, 14 at 195, 12 at 185, 10 at 175, 8 at 165, 6 at 155, and 4 at 145.

I don't expect ever to wear a 4 no matter how much weight I lose

I guess it's just best to wait and see what happens as the weight slowly melts away. It will sure make life interesting! I've already picked out the stores I'm going to walk into as though I have been shopping there my whole life!
