Ladies around 5' 8"--sizes??

uglypottamus

I've seen this done with other heights but I'm around 5' 8" and was wondering what sizes everyone is? For me,

SW: 176 lbs and pushing a size 14
CW: 139 lbs and an 8-10, but mostly 10s

I just feel like at this point I should be closer to always wearing a size 8 and maybe even pushing a 6 so it's kind of discouraging, so I was wondering about any ladies of similar height if they've had this problem?

SW: 215 & beginning to bust out of 18's
GW: 160

I've been as low as 164, and at that time I was in 10's and some 8's. It really depends on the brand, your own body shape, and how toned you are.

When I was at 164 I was in the best shape of my life and was building lots of muscle working out 5 days a week, so I know my body was more compact than it would have been if I had just dieted without trying to build lean muscle.

I don't know if I'll have the dedication to do the 5 day a week thing this time around. I want something more sustainable, so I'm expecting 10's or 12's are probably as low as I'll get.

I'm 5'8, 162...and I'm a size 8. It all depends on how you're built.

I'm 5'9 and about 155. Currently wearing 6-8 depending on the brand.

I think it really depends on your frame. My sister is 5'7" and she has a tiny frame and wears a size 2 or 4.

I'm 5'7" and 150lbs. Shirts I'm a Medium as well as workout clothes. Jeans...designer I'm a 10, almost an 8. At that weird in between. Places like Old Navy with vanity sizing I'm a 4.

5'9" - 182 and currently a 10-12. I was an 18 at 215.

SW: 208 size 16
CW: 177 size 12/14 - but the 14s are all pretty big. I'm stuck in between sizes...the larger size is too big but the smaller size is still a little tight.

I agree with posts above. Depends on all sorts of physical characteristics. (Current) Goal weight is 165 and would like to be in a comfortable 12.

It really depends on your frame. I'm 5' 9" and the lowest weight I've been as an adult is around 145lbs. I was still a size 10 in pants because I have hips that were made for birthing. There is just no way to exercise your skeleton into being smaller.

Absolutely depends on one's frame.

I'm 5'8"/5'9". CW: 170, GW: 160. Measurements are 42-34-39 (the dreaded "cone" shape).

I wear 8s and 10s (Ms) in bottoms, 14/XL in tops.

5'9 currently 187. u.s. size 12

I'm starting to think this is my problem...if I exercised more I could probably be a comfortable 8 but even in high school when I was super fit from playing sports @ 150 lbs I was a size 10.

CW: 136 size 6 jeans. Small tops.

I'll never fit any lower than a 6. My hips won't allow it. I'm pear shaped.

You call that big hips?? At 5'8" you are underweight at 121 lbs.

CW: 5'8" and sizes 16-18

Before I gained all my weight, I held a constant 145 pounds and wore a 10 T for many years. I don't care what the sizes are anymore, I just want to lose fat and gain muscle.

Stop worrying about what the "size" will be and cut the tags out of your clothes. Nobody will know what size clothes you wear unless they turn your clothes inside out and look for it.

SW: 211
CW: 193
Goal: 170

I started at size 14. I am currently wearing a 10. Some 10s are tight. I would say the real judging factor is my American Eagle Jeans. I have ALWAYS been a 12 in AE jeans. My AE jeans that are a 12 are big now. I've never had them be big. I am not going to get more until I get to my first goal of 170.

SW 156 size 10-12
CW 141 size 6-8

Please know that body composition is the true tell of the size, not necessarily the weight.

I was 137 a few years ago but had far less LBM, / higher bf% and was a size 10.

5'8.5"
SW 250 size 16-18

Back in high school I was a size 5/6 and weighed 158.
