Before/After and a question about clothing sizes!

Hi all!

I am a little over 10 months out and still have about 27lbs til my new goal of 155 (Which will be a healthy BMI).

BUT... I am so baffeled by clothing sizes... the after picture is Old Navy top and pants... both MEDIUM!  I don't knwo how at around 180lbs I am MEDIUM!  I'm still boaderline obese!!!  Not that I'm complaining :)  It just seems ODD!

I saw some people looking for VSG before and afters, so I thought I'd toss mine up again :-)

Highest of 315


Today... about 180

I'd heard that Old Navy sizes ran large but... that surprises me!  You look great, though, no matter what size it says!

How tall are you?

They do run large for SURE... I could have maybe even gone down in the pants... they are crop pants with a drawstring and I NEED to use it!  I've found the same with Fashion Bug...

I'm 5'6"

I was thinking the same thing, its crazy how our bodies are all shaped so differently.  I am 5'6" medium top at old navy for the dressy shirts large for the T's, 14 bottoms (slightly loose)  I got the crop linen pants you have on, size medium without trying them on, well they are too SMALL in the butt!

And I'm down to 166!  Crazy, I thought I'd be at least a 10-12 by now.

You look great! 

Ageed!  the sizes are nuts!!!

I NEVER believed I'd be a 10... and I am... pretty much across the board now!  Tops I'm M/L...

You look marvelous.
I'll say this for some stores - they 'vanity' size. It is kind of irritating to me, now. I went from an XL 16/18 to a S 4/6.
My SO is a manager for Old Navy - and we've discussed this at length. Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, and White House Black Market are all vanity sizers. It drives me bonkers, because there's no standarization. I wear an XS or 2/4 at ON when I normally just wear a S.

Doesn't REALLY matter, because you look MARVELOUS!!!

Congratulation as you look great. I am trying to get a surgery date and hope i do as well as you have.

You look beautiful. Less than 5 lbs to goal! WOOT!

Yeah there is no rhyme or reason to the sizing. Old Navy is where I always went to try on clothes when I felt like I was shrinking. I actually liked it. At ON I can wear a 2 but other brands I am a 4. LOL!
In 93 at this weight I wore a 9/10.

I always thought old navy ran bigger too but I have a lot of size mediums from other stores too. It trips me out to think I might wear a small if I lose another 20 pounds.
You look awesome, WTG Gurl!!
