[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something doesn’t add up.  I am a size 10, 5’10 and 145.   I’m not thin, I’m a healthy weight but you aren’t a size 10 just because you can force yourself into clothing.  It should fit nicely.[/quote]

People are built different. I am 5’6” 147lbs and size 2-4 in non-stretchy clothes. How you are shaped and how much fat vs muscle you carry will affect the size of your clothes. We can’t really judge whether OP should lose weight without seeing how she looks and knowing her body fat %. [/quote]

How are you a 2-4 at 147lbs? I am 5'6 also, weigh 125lbs. and wear a 2-4. I don't see how you and I wear the same size, with a 22 lbs. difference. [/quote]

I am very muscular and fairly lean. Just my lean mass weighs almost as much as you do (DEXA measured). Size 2 pants start hanging on me when I drop below 140 and I would look extremely unhealthy and would have to lose muscle to drop below 130. How you are shaped also works into the size you wear. A woman with larger hips and much skinnier otherwise might need the same size pants as me even if she is 20lbs lighter, but on my legs the pants will be more fitted than on hers. [/quote]
