I'm interested in hearing everyone's stats. Sometimes I notice another poster mention their size and I think "hey, I weigh more than her, but I'm wearing a size smaller", which makes me wonder if I'm wearing my clothes too tight, but then there are other things to take into consideration...so if you're interested, please join in:
Me:
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 216.6
Shape: Apple
Age: 40
Size: 14-16 bottoms and 16 tops
Height: Technically, I'm 5'7.75...but, I usually just say 5'8. Weight: 238. Shape: Pear. Age: 26. Size: 20-24 in pants, depending on the brand, and XL or 1X in tops.
I'm the same height as you and was also in that pant size at that weight. Here are my current stats:
Height- 5'6
Weight- 192
Shape- Somewhere between Banana and Hourglass
Age- 29
Pants- 10-14 (I live abroad and I'm almost into a size 42 locally, which is sometimes translated as a US size 10 or a US size 12, probably closer to a 10)
Shirts- M-XL (I don't actually own any M's yet but I have L's that are way too big, again it really depends on the brand)
My weight is pretty evenly distributed so I think I tend to be in a smaller size than someone who's an apple/pear shape (at least from seeing similar threads on here), except for my bra size.
I can relate to the worry about wearing clothes too tight. I really don't feel that's the case (especially since it's hard for my pants to stay up half the time and my shirts are all too low too!). But just imagine if someone at the same weight/height carries more weight in their middle vs. their extremities (as in their stomach vs. calfs/arms) than the one with more weight in the middle will have to buy larger clothes than the one with weight in the arms/calves.
I'm very short....unfortunately. I'm an hourglass shape. However, in recent years, I have put on weight in my waist...plus, my thighs have ALWAYS been where I carried weight. So, my torso is always smaller than below my waist.
My belly, hips, and thighs carry most of my weight. Pants that fit snug in the hips are often huge in the legs. My upper body is generally 1-2 sizes smaller than lower body.
Ht: 5'8.5"
Wt: 250
Shape: hourglass/pear (defined Waist and proportional but carry most weight in my lower belly/hips)
Age: 25
Pants: Usually a 18 fits best, depending on the brand I can go anywhere from 16-20.
Shirts: XL from standard stores is my norm
At my smallest (~190 lbs) I was a juniors 13 and still carried my weight fairly the same, I would love to get back down to a similar size again
