I am 5'9" and was a size 8-10 when I weighed 130 pounds. I have wide hips, wide shoulders, and a big rib cage, so I wore a "bigger size" to accommodate my frame.

Now, at 150 pounds, I am a size 12-14, and some size 14 clothes are still too snug, so i have to go up to a 16.

If someone with a different frame weighs the same as me, they might be a size 6-10 rather than a 12-16. Different bodies carry weight differently.

Case in point, I am the same height and weight as you and a size 8. When I weighed 35 pounds more I was a 12. I carry more weight in muscular legs and have a relatively small waist.

At 5'0"? is that height a typo? Not being snarky at all. But I'm 5'8", 142 lbs, and wear a 4/6. Seems odd to be so much taller but wear the same size? (I don't know my measurements exactly, but yours read like you might have more hips. Waist looks about right for me as well)

I am 5’8 and 142 at the moment and wear a size 12 bottoms (big hips). The PP seems like an outlier perhaps they are into bodybuilding.

I'm 5'8 and 135-140 lbs. I wear a 4, sometimes a 6. I do workout but nothing extreme- I hike /walk an hour ish a day and lift 3-4 days a week

I’m 5’8 and 132 and I wear a 6-8. Funny how different it can be.

And I’m 5’8” and 135-140 and most often wear a 2. I have minimal curves and a long torso (32b, 27, 32). This little sidebar conversation surprises me—how do we vary in clothing size so much?

I love hearing different sizes.

I am 5’3 145-150 shaped like this and I fit a 4/6. Waist 26, 28 typically is too loose.

This is wild to me. I am 5’6”, about 135 lbs and I am a size 8.

They're lying. That's all. There's epidemiological data on BMI, body fat percentage, waist size, etc. Some combinations do not occur.

I am in my early 40s and seeing what they mean when they say you have to choose between your ass and your face. I'd love to be 5-10 lbs thinner in my stomach, but oh man, my face would look sick. And I get botox!

I think a lot more celebs are 8-10 than you think. I think a lot of people here are under-sizing.
