[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh OP again. I am 5'7, I was 163 and now I am 145. I am not scary skinny at all, about a size four. [/quote]
Skinny??? I am 5'8'' 146 (as of today) and I know I am fat. [/quote]
OP is 5'8" and a size 4.  So WTF are you talking about?  [/quote]

NP. I’m hesitant to say someone is a healthy weight based on clothing size because of how out of wack sizes are today. I have a pair of shorts I bought last year at Ann Taylor that are a size 4. They are the same size as a pair of size 8 shorts from the Gap purchased in 1998 that I still have from college. I also own a pair of newer size 6 Levi’s that are the same as a pair of 1990s era size 12.

I’m 5’8” like OP. At my lowest weight in college in 1998 I was 125lbs and a size 6 was still a tight fit. I’m 163 right now and I have on a roomy pair of size 6 jeans. I’m trying to lose weight and I’m not telling myself I’m skinny because I’m in a vanity size 6 jeans when I know back in high school these pants would have been a 12 20 years ago.

My mom went to high school in the 1960s and says the girls who were stick thin and weighed around 100-110 wore size 10. There’s a reason why stores have started carrying size 00 and 000. [/quote]
