Height, weight, size?

melydu

I am 5 8ish amd am at 160 and can fit into some 12's but some are still tight. I am hoping to get down to a comfy 8 or 10 depending on my final weight. I have broad sholders for a female so I will always be a large shirt. Can somone 5 ft 8 be 145 and not look sick?

I did in high school but I had an athletic build

Wow these differnces in body types are amazing. I am nearly 5 8 and weigh 170 I'm a size 8 some 10s and 12s still fit but 8s are perfect

Hi I am 5"10 and weigh 207. I wear a 12-14 and my goal weight is 175.

This is very interesting because two others have said they are 5'3" and weigh around the same amount of me. I weigh 157.5 and am still in a 14. Very frustrating! :grumble:

Yes, you and I are close in weight. I am 159. I have large hips and thighs. I don't know what size I wear in women's. 11 in juniors. Do you know what size in juniors you wear?

I guess it all depends on were you carry your weight at. Mine is in my belly so it greatly affects the sixe jeans I wear

5'10" in a loose 12 at 170 - goal 150ish. :ohwell: All depends on how/where you carry your weight.
One of my best friends is the same height & in an 8 and only about 10lbs lighter than me...I really doubt in 10lbs I'll drop 2 sizes.

songbyrdsweet

I'm 5'0 and 132 and am VERY close to a size 3/4. Depending on the cut I can fit into a 3/4, but in a lot of juniors stores I'm a 5/6.

LittleSpy

Wow, this really confirms what I thought about myself (that I'm possibly a smaller size than my height/weight would indicate). I'm almost 5'4" I weigh 233.6 today and I wear a size 18... which recently became a *loose* 18. I was in a tight 20 at 270. Interesting. 150 may be my ultimate goal afterall!

kstefanski

I'm 5'4" 166 pounds, but am still in 14s. They're loose, and they fall down without a belt, so I'm sure I could mayyybe squeeze into 12s, but I haven't gone shopping in a while because I'm poor :laugh: Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised when I do go!

5'11".....I am in a loose 12 as well........ you look soooo much skinnier than me!! I guess it really is all about where you carry your weight.

Yes juniors are sized in odd numbers and a bit more narrow in the hip area

breezy81

I am 5'2" and weigh in at 184.0, it's mainly in my hip/tummy area, and my chest :blushing: (which I want to stay!!!! ) I wear a 14, which are now quite loose, hopefully I will be a 12 soon. My goal is a comfy 8

WombatC

I am 5'5" and started out at 181 and now weigh 170 pounds. I would love to be 150pounds. I presently wear size 12 and L or XL tops. 25 years ago when I got married my wedding dress was a size 10 and I weighed 125.

songbyrdsweet

Oh I didn't give my size for tops...Small is generally what I get unless it's from a juniors store, then usually a medium so it'll fit my arms/shoulder. :ohwell: Nothing long-sleeved fits me quite right.

at my skinniest, I was around 145 and wore size 8 ... could squeeze into 6.

JoyousMaximus

I'm 5'10 and I fluctuate between 150-155. I wear a size 10 pants and a size S top or an 11 and M/L in Juniors. In dresses, I wear a size 8. I have really narrow shoulders but I'm kind of hippy. I don't really want to lose weight. I just want to tone up.

Oh man are they ever! I felt pretty discouraged once the 13's were tight and even the ocassional 15 wouldn't fit right. I'm 24, and in the last few years I have been shopping at different places like NY & CO, where all their sizes are in women's sizes, but they are not older looking at all. I was amazed to see that I could wear a 10 or a 12. Junior's clothes are cute but I get depressed when I realize I'm the biggest size there, so I avoid it altogether. Also, we have a new store called Vanity, and they sell their jeans by measurements! Finally! I'm 5'10 and mostly legs so its hard to find pants long enough. I'm like a 32x35 in Vanity's jeans.

The way the Junior/Misses (or Women's) sizes was explained to me was that teenagers generally have narrower hips so the Junior sizes have less room in the hip area. Misses or Women's sizes, however, take into account that a woman's hips (the actual pelvis bone) spread some as she matures and her body "prepares to carry a child." Whether that is true or not, I don't know. I've never checked it out. I can tell you that I can get some of my old Junior pants on and fastened (some with room to spare in the waist!), but it feels like the seams around the hips are going to pop and my poor butt feels squished!:laugh:
