    So...clothes sizing has/have definitely changed. I see people wearing a size 6 now that were considered a size 10-12 back then, when I wore a size 6 when I was 118 pounds and stick skinny. Today that 118 would be a size zero or size 2

    yea, vanity sizing - more expensive/designer brands don't do it though, that's why people are generally different sizes depending on the brand/maker...its annoying.

    I'm currently 5'6" and 195 and in an 8/10. When I was 160ish, I was in a 4/6. But I'm only ~15% body fat, so I'm 165ish of lean body mass from all of the weight training I do.

    ETA, I'm also V shaped. I have broad shoulders and am big busted, which is where I carry all my body fat, so the pants size is smaller then the shirt size. In shirts I'm a Large.

    I am 5'7". At 160 I was a 10/12. Now at 151, most 10s are too big. Once upon a time, at 135, I was a 2/4...that's where I'm trying to get to now! :)

    This is what is absolutely amazing to me. I was exactly 132 all through high school (I briefly made it to 127, but that didn't last...my body wanted 132 and nothing less) and at 132 I was a 10/12. At 140-145 I was barely squeezing into a 12. And I'm 5'5", so I'm only two inches shorter than you, and you are a 2/4 at the same-ish weight. It's like a cruel joke on me. So frustrating to know there is apparently no way in all of Hades that my body will let me get to a 6/8. :sad: :explode: :sad: :mad: :sad:

    So then be happy with what you are! No need to explode be sad or mad! You are beautiful!

    I was a size 10/12 at 5'7 and 160

    Currently I'm a 14/16 and 225. Wierd for me to gain and not be MUCH larger. It's important remember everyone's weight is proportioned differently. My best friend and I are a 45 lb weight difference and wear the same size clothing.
