    I am at 193 lbs. My bmi is 27.6 and the smallest I have gotten on has been a size 8 but none have been really a pretty fit. Most my jeans are 10's or 12's now.

    I'm pregnant now but I was 154lbs, which at 5'6 gave me a BMI of just under 25. I was wearing a UK size 12, US8, and occasionally a smaller size in dresses. I'm that size in my profile pic.

    I have a pair of size 8 trousers I bought in Abercrombie & Fitch when I went to the US, and at 15 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child they are still a little loose!

    This is so interesting, shows how dimensions and where your weight is store as well as bone structure has such an effect!

    Weight: 118
    Height- 5'3
    Size- 8 UK
    I have size 32E breasts though so shirts depend on cut and I'm definitely curvy with a 22" waist :/

    BMI 21.6

    I'm so confused on how the BMI calculator works I'm "overweight" according to the calculator but I wear a size 4/5 jeans! Being short defiantly has a downside 1 pound seems like 5 :neutral:
    Here are my stats:
    Height: 5'0"
    Weight: 134 (working on cutting down to 123)
    Jean Size: 4/5 (I typically wear Express or AE jeans)
    Tops: S/M
    BMI 26.17

    Height: 5' 6"
    Weight: 152
    BMI: 24.4

    Tops: M for tank tops, M or L for department store shirts, XL for internet shirts (Threadless, Teepublic, etc) in ladies sizes.
    Jeans: Probably a 12?
    Dresses: ???

    I have a big skeletal structure (and fair size boobs) so I doubt I will ever wear small size. My shoulders are far apart, for example, and the bones aren't going to shrink as I lose weight, lol. My pelvic bone also seems to be pretty wide. I will never be petite, but I will be happy if I can look like / feel like a strong, healthy Amazon. ;)

    You sound like me, except that I am 4 or 5 inches taller...Queen of the Amazons!

    I don't think that I commented on this particular thread, but there are a bunch of similar threads floating around. I am such an outlier--I wear the same sizes as people nearly 100 pounds lighter than me in some cases. Skeletal size, muscle density, breast size and long vs. short-waisted can make a really huge difference.

    Get used to this weirdness! There are tons of girls that weigh a lot more than me and wear a lot smaller sizes than I do. It's all in the way we are shaped and the distribution of our weight on our frames. It's amazing how different we all are!


    YOU
    5'8"
    145 lbs.
    BMI 22.0
    BF: 23.6%
    Size: 8-10-12

    ME
    5'7"
    138 lbs.
    BMI 21.6
    BF: around 28%+
    Size: 6-8; Medium

    We're actually pretty close, even those my BF is way higher than yours. But I've seen women who are shorter and weigh 30+ pounds more than me in smaller sizes, so...what's up with that, right? It's all in the way our mass is distributed on our skeletons.

    ETA: Oh dang! This thread is OLD! OP, are you still there? :D

    My BMI is 26.3 which means I'm overweight. I'm 5'3 and 148 lbs. I wear anywhere between an 8 and a 10, and Medium in shirts.

    Same here except a large to extra large in shirts.....our build must be different.

    I'm 5'4.5" and 134 lbs. My BMI is 23 and I wear anywhere from a 4 to an 8, though a size 6 is usually a safe bet. For tops I wear a medium usually, mostly because I have large boobs and I've lost a lot of weight and my tummy isn't as flat as I'd like

    Height: 5'10
    Weight:147.8lbs
    BMI: 21.4
    Size: tops US4-6 (UK8-10) S/M sometimes XS (h&m) and my bottoms are generally US6 (UK10) S/M. Usually go M for comfort if I can get away with them not falling down.

    I have a small frame, my wrist is well under 6in, but wide hips, boobs and muscular calves (weird I know) so sizing is a bit of a crud shoot sometimes.

    I didn't read the entire post, but one thing to note when reading these: many people have a different idea of what "fits" -- a girl I know lost over 50 lbs and said "I didn't go down ONE size!" -- I thought, that is because your clothes were SO, SO tight to begin with. Now they fit nicely.

    I am 5'9" and 135. I wear size 12 pants. I have MS and don't exercise. If I did, I am sure I would be in a smaller size.
