[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5'4" 130lbs.  Size 4 in J Crew etc.  When brands offer it, I'll go for the 'curvy' fit for pants.

I can't afford designer clothes so I have no idea what that translates to in non-vanity sizing.   [/quote]

This is me too, the curvy pants usually fit perfectly, size 4 or occasionally sze 2.  It still suprises me though because I grew up thinking my weight was on the heavier end for height.  What made the difference for me was running - in high school I was 10lbs more and size 8-10, running made my body more proportional and clothes fit better from then on.  At 120 lbs my period stops and I look gaunt, that never made sense to me.[/quote]

We must be body twins.  I was also heavier as a teen and permanently dropped the weight by taking up jogging.  I ran a few marathons in my 20s and whenever I was in training I would drop to the 120 range.  At that weight, I look unhealthy skinny - my collarbones protruded out and some friends were actually worried I had an eating disorder.  They were shocked when I told them how much I actually weighed.  I think I just have a larger body frame that needs the extra meat to look healthy.  [/quote]
