    I'm 5' 6.5" and and wear Size 1 from Chicos- does that count? ;-) Just weighed myself today and I'm at 130.

    Recently I bought size 8 pants at a Van Heusen outlet, but that's very unusual for me- typically I'm a size 10. Like other posters, I'm also puzzled at the wide variety of heights/weights who wear the same size. Partly variation in brands, partly vanity sizing (especially in more expensive clothes) and I think some women can just tolerate tight clothes. I can't stand them and many times they're not flattering. I'll go up to a higher size if that's what looks and feels good on me.

    You'll find everyone varies so much even at similar heights and weights, depending on their build).

    I'm 5'10", weigh 195 and am currently in a size 10 jeans (or 31WX34L if you go by those sizes).

    I'm an hourglass with pear tendancies as far as shape goes. The reason I point this out is because I can't even pull a size 14 in skinny jeans up over my thighs although the waist would be way too big. In "skinny" or "slim" fit a 16 fits my thighs and butt but the waist and belly area are huge. So my size 10s are all in a "curvy" fit (big butt & thighs) and so are the 31X34s (silver brand, Suki style) and are still "tighter" in the butt and thighs and a little loose in the waist. Even at my biggest size (22) I still had to wear a "curvy" fit... just bad genetics!

    ETA: I'm female and in Canada (our sizes are the same as the US).


    So true! It's amazing how 2 people of the same height and weight can fit into completely different sizes. I'm hourglass shaped as well & getting the right pants is a struggle! Either my hips are too big or the waist line is too loose!! NO! Did I say I was hourglass? I think that's dependent on my weight lol, sometimes I'm just too heavy, sometimes very bottom heavy! It's crazy!!

    I actually have a problem within my boobs! They just grew from nowhere and I went from an A cup to a D/F cup! So the question is, am I going to lose them during weight loss? Also, where did y'all start noticing the weight loss first? Read something about "where U gained it last is where U lose it first" How true is this though?

    I really, really wanna be below 150lbs!! I literally breathe it now...

    All US Sizing:

    129 pounds

    5 foot 8 inches
    jean/skirt/pants size 6
    Dress/blouse size 8
    bra 34 D
    Shoes 8 and1/2 medium

    Small framed. don't know if that helps others but I will say I generally like my clothes fitted but not "tight". Since I generally fall between a 6 and an 8, I would go for a "medium" if the size range says a medium is an 8/10 rather than a small 4/6

    I started out at a size 18 in pants, wore a 16 in a dress (US sizes) as long as the dress was A-line. I've been on MFP a year, and am down 48 pounds, wear a 12 in pants and a 10 in a dress. Down from an XL shirt/sweater to a medium or a large, depending on the style. I have never liked my clothes tight, plus I'm a teacher and feel it's inappropriate to be dressed in tight clothes for work.

    I'm 5' 5" and started at 208.8 and now am down to around 160 - 163. I am stuck here, though, for now. I am trying to fight through this plateau and get down to 150. I'm 51 years old, a grandmother of two beautiful little boys, and am trying to be healthy and active for them and for the rest of my family (husband, two sons, daughter, daughter-in-law) and to enjoy teaching, which requires me to be active.
  • I am 5' and I weight 113 lbs
    My pant size is a 3/4
    My bra size is a 34 A ( lost quite a bit in the boobs )
    Shirt size XS


    My goal weight is to be around 100-105 but having a real hard time losing weight. I am ok with staying at 113 as long as I see changes in my body!!

    Please nobody take this the wrong way but I've read more than one article which say that clothes sizes have got a lot bigger than they were in the past. For example Marilyn Monroe was considered to be 'big' in her day and it's said that she was a UK size 16. In reality nowadays looking at her measurements she would have been a UK size 12 which most would consider not to be particularly big at all but then when everyone was a size 8 or 10, a 12 was large. The equivalent of an 8 or 10 in the past now is proably a UK size 4 or 6 so you can see what's happened. I read somewhere that in the UK the average clothes size now is a 14 (this would probably be a size 18 in the 80s).

    I can also vouch for this as I was always quite small in my teens and was usually a UK size 10 or 12 in all my clothes and had hardly any fat on my body although I had curves. Then I put on a lot of weight in my early-mid 20s but was never above a UK 14 (although clothes were tight) and then I weighed 178 lbs! so I'm sure the sizes changed a lot during this period (the late 90s) as the reality was I was probably at least a 16 or even 18 in 1980s sizes.

    I am currently a UK size 10 on top and 10-12 on bottom. That doesn't sound very big but it's not as small as it should be as the measurements nowadays are getting bigger. I am way bigger than I was as a teen so technically I should be wearing at least a size up from that but clothes are not made in the same way anymore. I think they're made to flatter women.

    Two years ago I got down to a UK size 8 and the majority of size 10 clothes were too big for me. I weighed 124 lbs but was skinny fat, ie. I was carrying a lot of body fat. I hardly looked like skin and bone and in my mind a size 8 should be SMALL. I was embarrassed telling people I was a size 8 because I knew that I was not what people would consider to be an 8 in their mind.

    I'm now aiming for a UK size 6-8 but I want to be lean with a low body fat %. We'll see what happens in a few months time.

    I now live in Spain and what I've noticed here is that generally young women are very very slim and then they get much bigger in their late 30s-40s. Shops here are split into shops for older women and shops for younger women. The younger women's shops are all tiny and I find I have to buy clothes in a size large or 40-42 as a minimum because everything's so small. If I shop in the 'older women's shops then the clothes are huge in comparison and I can get away with smaller sizes although most of them are not my style.

    In the chain stores like Zara, Mango, H&M etc. which are more international I find the sizes are pretty similar all over Europe but most Spanish only shops have tiny clothes in them.

    By the way my measurements are 36, 27, 37.5
  • I wear a 3/4 in most junior pants. A 5 in dresses. And a medium in all tops. I weigh 143 lbs and I am 5/7 almost 5/8

    I'm 5' 4" tall, weigh 157 lbs., and usually wear a size 10 in pants, but a 12 or 14 in any top that buttons because of my bust.
  • 5'3 ... 128 pounds ... 26-27 inches around waist so about a size 5 in pants (US) sometimes a 3 or 7.
    top size: Medium-Large due to size 36D breasts. some shirts like hottopic band shirts, or undershirts can be a small.
    btw i'm a female (15 years old) is this a bad body size for my age?

    5'4", 109 lbs, size 4 or 6 pants, mostly 4 now I think and extra small tops. I have wide hips, so even at a low weight, my pants size isn't that small. At my highest weight of 140, I was bursting out of a size 12 pants. It sucked.
