I'm running 245lb these days (6'2) yet can shoe horn into 32" pants (though I may not be able to sit while wearing them on account of thighs ans gluts) I haven't fit into 32" since I was 15, even when sick, and come to think of it last time I was able to was when I was sick during my sophomore year of high school. I always figured that my hip bone was too broad for 32" getting suits fitted is a nightmare, it seems that 50L jacket with a 32" waist isn't an off the rack item.
I'm 6'2 and 280. I couldn't fit in a 32 even if you belted it with a ratchet strap.
What kind of endurance training are you doing. My endurance is lacking and I need to get my weight under control before it kills me.

You have got to be one oddly proportioned mother berkeleyer 
I'm 6'3 and ran about 175 from sophomore or junior year of high school up through college. Wore a 32 then, but since then I've been running anywhere from 185 to 195 and have bumped to a 34.
hair under 6 foot here, 185. 32s are too big and 30s are too small on me. I need to workout more to get into 30s.
Back in HS I was in 26s
5 foot 6 and 225. But i wear a 36x30.
I also don't have a neck.
Im a damned tree stump.
Need to loose 25 or so to get the beetus back under control.
In reply to Dusterbd13:
We're the same height, but you have 75lbs on me...and I could stand to lose about 10-15. I have plenty of neck for the both of us though. 
Damn... I'm 5'10" and around 180. I bicycle a fair amount but I've been stuck at a 34" waist for awhile now. Other than my beer gut, I pretty much have the stereotypical cyclists body - decent legs, but skinny upper body. Not so helpful being a DH racer (the top guys are built)...
My doctor told me your schlong grows about 1 inch for every 30 lbs you lose. My doctor lied. I gained the weight back.

5'6" 145. 30 waist and a 40 chest. I have to buy my clothes at the teen-jean stores, and every shirt that fits comfortably is way too long
Wow we got some big guys here.
FYI Levi 541 jeans will fit at the waist and are cut in the leg to fit lifters specifically. With my quads I have to wear a 38 waist to get my legs in but at the waist I am ~34.
5'10, 280 currently. 44x30 jeans. Made even harder to find because I only wear cargo jeans.
As I've complained about in the rant thread, the number on the scale is going down, but the clothes are getting tight. This needs to be fixed cause I'm pretty sure it's not healthy.
I've actually been in a 44 for 10+ years now. I got back down to a 38, for the first time since freshman year of high school, right before the baby got started. And gained all that weight back while Dana was pregnant and she gained like 5lbs the whole pregnancy.
6'2", 260. 36x32, but I'm lying to myself a wee bit on the waist. Dress shirts are the bitch for me- 19 1/2" collar, 35" sleeve, slim fit. If I go to the tall'n'fat shop to buy, I wind up with something that two of me could fit into around the middle, so its higher end mens wear stores. Luckily, I buy a new dress shirt about once every five years, so buying a spendy shirt is no big deal.

I can understand that. I can ride every day and I'll only lose a single pant size.
But if I start lifting regularly, I can really slim down. I found bench dumbbell rows, pushup and overhead presses really help tighten up the mid-section and also help on the downhills.
What's depressing is that when I ran track in high school I weighed between 180 and 190 (as I got older) but despite how much I ride, and how much I try to restrict my diet as an adult I can't even break under 210lbs. I'm 6' even.
For the I'm up to 250-300 miles a week on the bike and swimming 2500-4000m 6 days a week. I'm still really a 34, but trending towards the 32", they fit, but I'll have to try those 541s though as they may work in a 32". I'm in the same boat as streetwise though with the neck, 19 3/4" and a size 8 fitted cap.
I'm 5'10" 190 and I should fit into a 32 but my quads and calves are too big for the rest of the pants. So I wear a 34 and a belt.
Not skipping leg day is problematic. Having the ass and thighs of a professional ice dancer is a burden I must carry
5'11" 245. 36 waist but wear a 38 too fit my thighs in. Been this way since i found the weightroom my freshman year of highschool.
5'11" @ 185. Wear 34 pants. When I was young and was about the same at 180 I had to get larger pants because of large thighs. Don't know if pants are made/sized different now or my thighs are smaller but don't have a problem with thigh size in pants anymore.
I haven't been in 32's since I was on adderol in 8th grade. I'm just back down to 42 from 44.
I've been wearing boot cut since my 20's for the big calves. I still have no hair on the back of my calves. Wrangler makes a normal waist with fuller seat and thighs for you speed skater types.

I'm so big boned that even if I wanted to, I'd never drop below a 34 waist. Evan when I was running 6-8 miles a day and down to just over 200 LB, I was still just a 34 waist. I'm 36 waist and a 34 inseam now and only 6'1 All legs and arms. I hate winter cloths shopping because most everything needs to be a tall and no one carries them in the store. I've been mail ordering cloths for a while now.
