| 5’0”, 124, menopausal, size 29/8 (sometimes a 6 or 10) after dieting and am finally in my normal weight range. I’m not skinny but I fit into normal sizes and look reasonable, and am happy with this. |
How have you managed to make it to adulthood without realizing how differently bodies carry weight and shape? |
I’m OP… most of my weight is in my hips and belly (and boobs… even with weight loss I’m still a DDD, ugh!). I need to tone more so I would say someone who is 125 could be more muscular than I currently am. And yes if had a kid so that probably contributes to where my weight is currently. |
It just depends how you are shaped I guess. I’m 5’5” 125 and wear 4/27 in most brands. I don’t think I could wear a 25 in any brand. I have larger thighs and hips and a smaller waist |
Why? I am 5'2" tall, weigh 135, and wear a size 8. I am 64yo and am fine with that. |
| I am 5’8” and 160. I wear a 30 in brands that don’t use vanity sizing, and a 28 in brands that do. |
| I felt best at size 27. At size 25 I felt too thin and people were commenting on it. Sadly, I'm up to a 30 now that I'm in peri and hating it. |
| I have lost 30lbs. I am 5'3" and started a size 16/32 and am currently a 10/29. I would happy if I lost 15 more pounds and went down one more size, but ideally I would lose 30 more and go down 2 more sizes. |
| Size 6/28. Though right now I'm pushing the limits of that size due to some holiday indulgence. I'm 5'8" and 150ish at 53. |
| 28. I'm cute |
| 5’6. 26 is my ideal, but 27 is fine. |
same girl, same. i feel so seen
|
| 5’6, 140lb. I am a 26 or 27 in all my jeans, everything I wear is 100% cotton so no stretch. |
PP, how did you get down to this size? |
| I'm 5'7 / 135 and I wear a 28 in most pants. I wear a 27 in lower-end retail (J Crew Factory, Gap, etc...). |
