It has always fascinated me how 2 women similar to weight and height can be so different when it comes to clothing sizes.
I have a best friend that is 5'7 and weigh 125. She wears a size 6. A few years ago I was 150 pounds and I am 5'6. I wore a size 6 also, 8s were way too big on me.
I read somewhere about different women comparing their weight, height and size and they were all different totally different.
How can we ever just look at a chart such as BMI and determine if someone is overweight or not? I would be very close to overweight at 150 but wearing a size six most of you would laugh if I said I was overweight.
Just some things on my mind.
Thanks
I am 5'4", weigh 175 and wear a size 14 in some clothes and 16 in other clothes. (sizes are so inconsistent). For many years I was 120 pounds and wore a 7.
Thats funny, I am 5'3", 113lbs, and wear a 0 or 00. But I am a muscular 113lbs, and muscle weighs more, so maybe thats why.
And you fluctuate 20lbs up and down!??? Thats crazy, and not too healthy imo. Not meaning to be rude, just dont think thats very healthy for your heart or metabolism.

In the late 70's, 1980's I was 5'5" around 145-150 and wore a loose 14.
At 53 I'm btw 5'4" and 5'5", 231 and wearing a 22.
I had to chime in, because the question of sizes drives me crazy.
I'm just over 5'8", and in the 70's was 145 to 155 and wore a 14.
Today I'm 58, 247, and usually wear a 22, but when I needed to find something to wear to a wedding, found myself trying on a wide range of clothing sizes, and they all fit. I didn't like most of them, but they fit.
My wife is 5' 2" and 123 pounds. Since she (like all women) have clothes from different designers, the sizes of her dresses/jeans/skirts, etc. range from 0 to XP to P to small to medium etc. This is why I place NO IMPORTANCE AT ALL to what size a woman says wears.
I'm close to 5' 6" and I weigh between 140 - 143. I wear anywhere from a size 4 - 8 depending on the brand and the store. Last summer I bought three pairs of jeans at J.C. Penneys. One was a size 4, the other a 6 and the other a size 8. Crazy. One was the A.N.A. brand. The other two were the Vanderbilt brand.
5' 4 ... constant fluctuation between 135 and 143.... Size 8
