    Finally back solidly in my maintenance range instead of just above it. My stats now:
    5'7.3"
    131 lbs.
    BMI 20.3
    BF: Really not sure. Somewhere in the range of 26-28%. Working to recomp!
    Size: mostly 8's, though it does vary! (For reference, I'm a Small at Loft and ON in tops/dresses, size 8 AE jeggings, size 6 CK dress pants).
    Shirts are S or M depending on the brand/cut. My belly is always disproportionately big so if I have to size up, it's to fit through the belly.

    @gnu4liberty I have MS, too (relapsing-remitting).

    Height; 5'6
    Weight; 159
    Size; 12+ (uk)
    Bmi: 25
    Bf: 27%

    12+ because I usually fit a 12 unless its something that doesnt stretch up top. My waist, hips and boobs are normal proportions (give or take) but my back and shoulders are very broad (swimmers curse). I literally cant buy fitted shirts/coats/blazers to fit :(

    Am 5'6 (F) and currently 151 pounds with a 24 bmi, however I deal with chronic constipation and will go up to three weeks without... Anyways, am a size 0-2 in pants and XS in tops when not bloated. Idk my body fat but idc. Ultimate goal is to fix this problem so I can get back to my former weight of 117 before developing digestive issues.

    I don’t think it’s a height thing. I’m 5’9”-5”10” and I am a size 4. I am usually a 0-2 which is where I’m heading.

    5'2
    145 pounds
    Pants/Jeans size 4 or 7 (juniors)
    Shirts size Small or Medium depending on the style and cut. I stay away from button down shirts as I need a large to button them and then they are too long in the sleeves
    Dresses - a lot of different factors.

    I'm 5'10, 150#. My BMI is 21.5. I haven't had my BF% calculated in a while - I'd guess low 20s. I wear a size 6 and size small tops. My clothing size doesn't really change too much though, even with a 20# weight swing. At 155# I was a size 6 in most things (although some of my smaller fitting size 6s became too tight and stayed in my closet). And when I was in the mid 130s (which is my goal weight) I was still a size 6 - occasionally a size 4.

    Pants: 10 or M. Inching towards an 8 on stretchy jeans.
    Shirt: M or L depending on stretch and buttons. Closer to a M now in most things.

    When I had a BMI of 48 (307 pounds) I was in a 30 (still wearing 28s, but they were very stretchy elastic. My 28 tops were all too small).

    My BMI is now 38.9 (249 pounds) and I'm in a snug 22 pants/too loose 24, 3x top.

    It depends a lot on your height and frame, not just weight or body fat.
