If you are a size 8, how much do you weigh?

[Anonymous]

5'6" 148-155 depending on the day. I'm mostly an 8, depending on brand, sometimes a 6. I wear a 4/6 dress though cause I'm very small on top, my thighs are wear I have trouble getting things to fit.

Argh, pp here, "where" not "wear."

Really? I am 5'8", 133 and I wear a 2. And it's usually roomy.

It's so bizarre to me how people half a foot taller, weight 15 lbs less, are the same dress size as me.

It truly goes to tell you that the scale is really pretty bullshit (and the scale determines BMI, which is also bullshit).

Within reason, there is just so much more to weight and body types than fat.

I'm 5'8" and at 133 I'd be a 4 or a 6.

Let me ask you a question, PP. Do you feel like you are a reasonably thin person? I'm the PP who is 5'6 and fluctuates from 148-155, and I feel like I would be perfect at 145. But then I see many of my friends who weigh in the 120s and I think I'd really like to look like them. Am I kidding myself that 145 looks great on a 5'6 woman? I have big boobs and a spare tire around my belly, but my legs are ok.

I am not that PP but I am also 5'6". I like my body best in the 125-135 range. Around 130 is perfect for me. When I edge up to 145-150, I definitely do not feel thin and that is where for me I start to feel 'fat' as I have more rolls and my clothes don't fit as well. I still think I look okay at that weight, I don't look fat, but that is where I start to feel not thin/not fit/and pudgy. I have been as high as 170 and at that weight I felt and looked fat.

5'3", 136, size 8 in some pants, size 6 in others. I'm pear shaped, so I wear 4-6 in tops and often 4 in A-line skirts and dresses.

If I go over 140, a size 10 looks much better on.

Same here. This is only pants/skirts though since I have a very large bust. Only stretchy dresses work for me since they are more accommodating for my bust. Otherwise the amount of tailoring needed for other dresses is ridiculous.

I was a size 8 about 15 years ago at 145 pounds and 5'7''.

Now I am about 125 pounds and a 2, sometimes even a 0 in tops if I get closer to 120.

Vanity sizing is huge.
