You are a size 6 at 205?

No. That pp was saying that when she reaches 150 she's a size 6.

Ahh, got it. But that is still probably an 8 or 10.

Uh.... no. I am 205 lbs and 5'6.5" and am a size 6. In fact, a size 6 is often times roomy on me!

Sure, troll.

Can you please explain to me why this is ridiculous? I know my body. What makes you think you’re an expert on MY body?

I'm sorry, I hope that you don't feel as if I was attacking you personally. With all sincerity, I'm quite positive that you are lovely both inside and out.

The obesity epidemic affects everyone in society on many different levels. Sizing that sends people the message that they are in a healthy weight range just to sell clothes is problematic. A size 8 today is a size 18 from the 1950s (sizes went up again last year).

The reason people have a hard time believing that size 6 is not the correct size for you is that, roughly, each clothing size covers a 10-15 lb range. Based on the comments here, most 6s seem to fall between 130 and 145. Of course, you could be an extreme outlier.

There is no way a 6 would be 205 lbs even with vanity sizing unless her bones and muscles were made of lead and she was a robot/not human.

5' 3.5'' 126 lbs. I'd like to drop 5 lbs. and, in particular, tone my legs. I'm definitely a pear shape ... all my weight is in my legs/butt.

5’8 and currently 118 . So sad that I just look fat at this weight. So much guilt for being disgusting. Currently on a 6 week fast, hoping to get to 114, which is my goal. I just wish I wasn’t a disgusting embarrassment to my whole family. Anything over size 2 is a tragedy.

4’10” here. My goal is 90 lbs.

5’2” 133 right now. I’d like to lose 10 lbs.

5’-3” and currently 124lbs. All of my weight is in my legs but I’m still an hourglass shape- 34-26-36. Goal is 118-120lbs . Currently I’m 16:8 (10a-6p) fasting (although I can do this forever) and I’ve cut out just about all processes foods and hopefully I’ll get there by summer.

What is it exactly about a *disease* like anorexia nervosa that you think is so funny? Why is cancer or Chron's disease not the fault of the patient, but suffering from anorexia is somehow a choice and a moral failing?

****

I'm 5'7 and my goal weight is 115-118. I do have to watch what I eat to maintain there. I also have to run at least 5 miles 5-6 times a week. I hate running but at least it's a relatively quick work out.

Any advice?

It's annoying all the people who say "just eat intuitively." If I don't count calories, I gain weight, like most people.

I’d be curious for everyone to add their age too!

I am 5’2” and 126 right now. I want to get to 123. I am big boned and can’t go lower than 120 because the bones on my chest/shoulders/hips protrude. I don’t necessarily look skinny, but I do look boney and it’s not a good look.

Goal weight is 160 and I have a long ways to go. I’d love to be closer to 140, but trying to be realistic and think I can achieve and maintain 160.
