What is Your Ht/Wt & Size Clothing?

I agree with the lifting comments! 5'7" 150 lb, size 6 in almost everything. 36-28-38. When I weighed 150 5 years ago, I wore 8s and 10s. I was more like 34-30-40.0

And to add to the comments about lifting. ..
I have smaller measurements now in my 40s than in my 20s when I was a stone (14lbs) lighter ...I'm also the fittest I have ever been in my life
The number on the scale isn't as important as inch loss/fitness

Around 5'5", 129lbs. 34" (at bra band), 28", 36". Can't give you a regular bust measurement (bilateral mastectomies).
U.S. size 6 petite jeans (teensy bit big for my taste), still mostly L or L petite tops (I have wide shoulders but otherwise kind of straight waist/flat rear). Some loose abdominal skin, thinner upper body (can see ribs), probably more muscular than average for my age (60) but not super muscle-y, hate clothes tight.
At SW of 183, around 40" (bra band), 36.5", 45.5". Size 16 women's petite/short jeans, 1X or XL tops. This was in April 2015; I'd been very active for 12+ years. Before that, at a similar weight (maybe 190?), I was up closer to 20 in jeans - but who knows how much the sizing changed that many years. I don't have measurements for 12 years back. For sure, becoming more active (I'm a rower) reduced my body size even though I didn't lose weight and was still very definitely fat.0 -

This is where I want to be but I am hitting a major plateau. 5.5 1/2. 138 pounds and trying but failing to get closer to 130. My body is very comfy at 140. I workout 5-6 times a week so I know it lies in my diet. My brain is just not letting me cut further....my brain and my hands...my brain, my hands and my mouth!0 -

Yes, I shop at Old Navy and Gap, but need the same sizes if I go to Walmart or Target. Sometimes, I go for junior's (maybe JC Penney or similar) and need 3-5. Target stuff usually doesn't fit, though. Their XS tops are too big, and the pants are made too skinny in the lower leg (I have muscles). I do have a cute dress from Target, size XS. It might be junior's, not sure.
In to hear what the deal is with Old Navy, and also to say that I find Target clothes kinda strange. They don't fit me. What is up with that?
I like reading all the stats, but it can set up some negative comparisons (personally)... I really hate my gut area. I almost wonder if it's genetic - my aunts all had thick middles. I work out with resistance bands & light weights, starting to add very light running... need to get a barbell to lift or something. Deathly afraid of injury (history of back injuries) and way too timid for a gym.
I'd also like to know about Old Navy. I wear the same sizes there that I do everywhere else, but I ALWAYS hear about ON "vanity sizing" like crazy. I've also heard someone say one time that Old Navy was "the fat ladies version of Gap" and I wanted to slap them!!!
I can't talk for everyone, but the time I bought pants at ON I was fitting in a 2, and I was wearing a 8 of my favorite jeans brand (Lee) at the time. And I have a medium/large frame, I'm 34 D so not exactly flat, and I fit in some of their XS tops just fine (but for their tanks I feel more comfortable in S or M). And their S dresses fit perfectly.
I honestly wonder what thin women can actually wear there (I'm 34/30/36 so not quite thin). Quite sure I'd be a L or something in Europe.
Someone commented about muffin tops - with my build (hear - wide waist and most of the leftover fat in the midsection) I pretty much always end up with one. I can't wear low rise jeans because they look ridiculous, but my high rise 6s are a bit loose (I can take them off without unbuttoning them) and STILL give me a bit of a muffin top, while too loose on the butt and legs. I think it's a losing battle, I can't imagine losing more body fat because the rest of my body is seriously getting skinny, so I just blame genetics (my mom is the same shape, but she's always been overweight, so I don't have much to compare to, and my twin sister is bigger than me).0 -
Lol, finally a male posted in this thread.

Always so interesting to me to see the difference in sizing. Weightlifting definitely impacted my body composition. I'm 5'6 138lbs and generally an American size 2/4 and s/xs. I've been this weight before years ago and generally wore a 6/8.1

5ft, 124lbs 38/25/37
I can usually fit a 2 for dress pants, but jeans I tend to be a 2 or 4. Dresses in S or XS sometimes. I'm small, but chubs 1 -
For me, it's not a higher body fat % putting me at a higher size, it's my hip bones. You can't lose bone LOL
Edit: My measurements are 33 x 28 x 380 -
5' 3.5"
171-ish
US size 10 pants lately, Medium-Large tops.
But then I shop in old lady stores like Talbot's and such. I think they are cut way generously, but I'm not complaining! My main goal for losing weight was to fit into a size 8 there.0 -

I'm weirdly proportioned so 6-8 in pants (but have to find longs). I have freakishly long arms, am high waisted, and have no boobs to speak of so that darling combination means that while I can wear a small top, I loathe things binding under my arms so end up in a baggy medium.1 -
I think I have definitely decided from reading this that clothing size tells you nothing about how thin someone is, because height and where you put that weight - plus how tight you like to wear your clothes and how stretchy they are - seems to make a huge difference.
One of my sisters is much taller than me (and I'm 5'10") and outweighs me by 100 pounds. But she wears clothes the same size - they just fit like they're sprayed on. Another sister her size wears clothes much much larger.
Pretty much, yes.
5' 3" (OK, slightly below). 120 lbs. Measurements, I can guess. Chest is 33 and change for sure. Waist I think ~25, hips are probably between 33 and 34.
Size 4 in designer clothes (or 34 in UK sizes). Size 2 just about everywhere else or the cut is just wrong. I wear the same clothes that I did at 116 lbs before I did a couple of short bulk/cut cycles. I think my hips may actually be smaller than they were then.
Sometimes I end up in a baggy S rather than a normal fitting XS top because I have relatively broad shoulders and the shoulder seams are cut in too far. I also occasionally have a problem with sleeves being too tight around my bicep (thanks Stronglifts).0 -

Bigger biceps isn't the same as when women say they don't lift because they are afraid of getting bulky. I am quite lean, with very visible muscles, but no one would call me bulky. And yes, some shirts are tighter as a result.0 -

Just a question, if you measure 34 across the bust how can you be a 34d bra size? You would have to measure 38 inches to be that (and 34 inches below the bust)?0 -
When I started...178 size 16 or large. Now 139 5'6" size 12 is big but not sure 10 wouldn't be too tight. Shirts medium. Solid and muscular.0

You're probably right. I honestly don't know how to measure my bust, so it's probably 38? I always assumed that the number was your bust measurement, I guess I was wrong. I know it depends a lot on the bra brand though...0 -

Girl, you must be wearing the wrong size bra: https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/wiki/beginners_guide
A bra that fits correctly is so much more comfortable.0
