to all women! - clothing size and bmi

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 170
BMI: 28.3
Pants: 8 (seven for all mankind brand only kind of jeans I buy)
Shirts: Med and large

Oh and tops small and med

I'm 5'4, 107 lbs, BMI 18.5, bodyfat % 20 (last time i checked). Size 4 (or S/XS).

I strength train regularly but I'm not especially accomplished at it or anything.
I have sort of a straight-top-to-bottom boyish "weasel" body, like a boy with (small) boobs. No hips, no waist, etc. I used to be a skinny weasel, then I was getting to be sort of a "square", now I'm back to skinny weasel. Def. more of an "apple" in that the fat sticks on my tummy. I have to be a total twig to have anything resembling a waist.

Weird about the sizes. When I decided it was time to lose some weight I was 132, and actually starting to squeeze disturbingly *out* of a size 8. I don't know if these are non-US sizes mentioned here but some of you weigh 132+ at about my height and wear size 4-6, etc. I guess that's because of body composition...

Also maybe it's because I shop in places like Urban Outfitters and Barney's where the clothes are smaller. When I try stuff on in like J Crew, I'm sure I''m like a 0. When I was at my biggest, size 6 there was falling off me. They really get into the vanity sizing.

5'7
138
BMI 21.6
Shirt size medium
Pants size 8
I think being taller lends itself to the higher sizes. I am the tallest in my family and my sibling and cousin wear much smaller sizes. They are much shorter though. I could never even be a size 4 because I would be considered under weight if I lost 20 pounds. If you figure about 10 pounds per pants size.

Hi! Well right now I am 211.8 lbs with a 39 BMI. I am 5'2. I am a looser fitting size 18. I've been at my goal weight 160, with a much improved BMI. I was a very loose size 14. But I am short with a big frame.

Right now, I'm 190 with a BMI of 31.6, and am wearing a size 10/12 pants.

My goal weight, which is what I was after the first three kids before this last kid is 140 which is a BMI 23.3 and a size 4/6.

5' 8"
CW 150, BMI about 22.
size 6-8-10 pants, or Med in the small-medium-large sizing
tops I have to go by each garment because there is so much variety in things that are the same size. Usually a Medium, 10-12 because I have wide shoulders.

working on getting back to 140-ish (+ or - 2 lbs). when I was at 142 before I wore size 6-8 and had one awesome pair of size 4 jeans I am looking forward to wearing again.

The more I lift weights, the tighter and smaller I get, but the scale is very slow to move down. I'll take shrinking body over dropping numbers any day!

Bless your heart. I'm 5'11"...if you are tall as a man, your bones are often, but not always more hardy...can't shrink your skeleton! Who cares about the size of your clothes...cut the tag if it bothers you. Care about how you feel and how you look when you step out of the shower...the other stuff is not in your control.

Hi everyone!
I was just wondering what people's sizes typically are at a certain BMI. I'm at a 22 BMI which supposedly just above middle (21.75) of the healthy range and I wear a size 8,10, sometimes 12. Usually 10 these days. Here are my stats:

5'8"
145 lbs.
BMI 22.0
BF: 23.6%
Size: 8-10-12 (it's all over the place depending on stores)
I usually have to buy Women's Large for shirts, men's small.

I guess i'm asking because when I started I was 175 and size 14, women's large. I don't know if it's my tall build or what but I don't fit into those other sizes anymore but i'm still pretty large in the women's department.
I imagine I have another 10-15 pounds to go until I get to be fit looking and get my BF down to 20% or so. But going from 36%-23.6% and my size isn't too much lower! I know people who are 5'2", 135lbs. and wear size Small, but that's crazy to me since their bmi would be 23.9.

Can we get a sample aggregation going? I'm curious if it's my body type or if tall girls just end up wearing bigger sizes?? I'm very lemon shaped..small boobs, thin legs..large middle. HAH!

WOW! Proof that everyone is different!
I'm 5'8"
195lbs.
I wear a size 12 pants and a medium or large in shirts.

This is why I hate numbers!

BMI - 26
Weight - 153
Body fat - 24% (give or take a few)
Size - 5-7 depending on store, sm/m top... I'm call myself a size "schmedium" - small often doesn't fit my chest/shoulders/back but medium is way too baggy everywhere... i just can't win lol

5'8
123lbs
BMI 18.7
Size 2 or 0, started in a tight 6 or 8--small frame.

I am 5'1"
Weight is 199
BMI: 37.7
Clothes size on average is size: 18 for both shirts and pants but sometimes bigger as I have DDD breasts so some shirts are just to tight around that area

Well, I am really confused about all these sizes, weight, height and so on I have read on here.....I am 5'4 and weigh in at 140 and would consider myself atheletic with curves and I can't wear a size six comfortably. So what's up ladies? Are we telling the truth about our sizes or what? I wear sizes 8-10 depending on the style and have no problem with saying so. But according to all the comments about people's height, weight and BMI I should be in a size six or smaller.

Obviously all women come in different shapes and sizes. My sister in law is smaller/lighter than I am, but she literally can't fit a size 28 around her hips. Some women have more muscle, some have bigger behinds, etc. I highly doubt people would come on here anonymously and then lie about their sizes. I am completely honest when I say that I am 5'10", 152 lbs and wear either a size 4 or 6. I've had people balk at this, but I have the measurements to support it - my waist is 27 inches and my hips are 35 inches. I have quite a bit of muscle and I've always just weighed more. Who knows - I don't really give a rip about what the scales says anyway.

These sorts of threads are dangerous for people who expect to have the same results as the person next to them - it's just not going to happen in all cases. Enjoy your 8s and 10s and your athletic and curvy body! Embrace it and don't worry about everyone else.
