I like to try to find people on here who are my height (5'6) and see what sizes they are at different weights. So I figure we could put them in one spot.
If your 5'6:
Whats your current weight and clothing size?
Plus- do you exercise?
I am currently 149.6 and I am a size 9/10 in jeans in medium in shirts. I have been doing very minimal exercise so I consider myself out of shape. If someone was at my weight and exercised regularly, I feel like they would probably be a smaller clothing size then me.
203 here... In jeans, I vary from 14-18 depending on brand, tops are mostly x-large now - Hoping to make it down to your neck of the woods (weight wise) I haven't been exercising much, and very little of my few and far between workouts has been strength training. Now that I've made it about halfway to goal, time to get off the tushie and start building up the muscles ~
202 and my jean size ranges from a tight (but zippable and buttonable) 14 to a baggy 18 so it just all depends. shirts are XL for most part. and Im apple shaped so my waist is almost wider than my hips.
Im 182. I wear mostly size 12 (very close) and sometimes 14. tops are large and sometime xl depending on the manufacturer/style. I do exercise moderately but im about to step it up. My goal is to ge to 135.
I'm currently in size 20-18s. The twenties are much too big and the eighteens vary from just right to too tight.
My shirts are a XXL - XL to a very, very occasional large depending on the length of the shirt. I'm very top heavy.
I got out of the habit of exercising for about six months due to a move and laziness. I actually picked it back up at the beginning of this last week in attempts to alter a rather persistent freeze my weight has hit. I'm currently reworking my way through Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and alternating that with running/walking intervals for 30 minutes every other day.
We are close in size/same height (I am 35 & An apple shape)~I am from 132 to 136 all the time (I am on maintaining mode) I Use to exercise daily ~but Once I started maintaining Basically I went to 5 days a week~(for the last 3 months or so)I wear a steady size 2 ~I even tried on 2 size "0" things the other day A pair of jeans & a skirt & one was way to tight & the other fit great Both from American Eagle outfitters brand. Oh & when I got to my original goal of 150 I was in 3's & 4's (some 6's but with belts.) ~In tops I Wear all different sizes~From Xs to Large~Depends on the style I am going for.(for more info Just click on my signature ~To the link where I got my goal.)I think I tell what exercises & stuff I do On there ~if not I will message u again tomorrow ~I am off to bed but wanted to reply to this ~HUGS!
Hi - I also love to see what others my height weigh and what size they wear (I have trouble figuring out what is comparable for women of other heights). I'm not a 20-something, but maybe this will help...
at 152 lbs; mostly 10s, medium tops
at 134-138 lbs (currently);mostly 4s and some 6s, small tops
***BTW - it seems to me that the 4s have gotten much bigger since I was a 4 a few years ago. I suppose at goal (<130 lbs) I will be in 2s. Crazy.***
I don't work out nearly enough and I wouldn't consider myself in great shape by any stretch of the imagination...
Thanks for all the replys so far! It is really interesting to see that two people can be the same height and same weight but be different sizes. But its also nice to see what size you could be when you lose the weight!
I am somewhere between 5'6" and 5'7" and 148 lbs. I exercise 45 minutes 3+ times a week. I wear size 10 pants but the fit varies by brand. My 11s from Bullhead fall off, but my 10s from express are really tight. American Eagle 9/10 fits best. I wear large tops but am very chesty. sans boobs I'd be in med if not smalls.
Great idea for a thread, by the way. It's interesting to hear where others are.
I'm between 5'6 and 5'7, but definitely closer to the 5'7 side.
I maintain between 125-130, yesterday I was 128.4.
I have shopped at American Eagle for jeans for as long as I can remember, so even with vanity sizing, I have a pretty good comparison of my before and after size as they're from the same brand. At 180+, I was BARELY stuffing myself in size 12 AE jeans. My tops were all over the place, but either large or extra large. At 150-ish, I was in 6/8 AE jeans. At my current size, I'm a 0 in all AE jeans (I have several styles from skinny to slim boot to relaxed fit) and either a 0 or a 2 in most other brands. I'm either a small or extra small in most tops. My wedding dress was an unaltered size 2.
I had no inkling that I would ever be a 0, lol. That was certainly not my intention or goal. I'd never been smaller than a 10, so I had no clue what size I'd be at my goal weight. I just kept losing until I was happy with how I looked and felt, and I was surprised to discover that I have a much smaller frame than I'd thought. Under all that chub, I was actually quite a small lean person.
As for exercise, I don't exercise that much (and quite frankly don't have any desire to, although I probably should). I make sure that I have at least 30 minutes of activity throughout the day, but if that's from cleaning or walking around the mall or the grocery store, I'm satisfied. Most days it's a lot more than that. I like being active, walking and moving and doing things. I just don't like to work out just for the sake of exercise, I hate gyms. I tried it, I had a work out regimen, conditioned myself and got in really good shape. It didn't improve my life enough for me to want to maintain it.
I am 5'6" and 38 years old. I do have asthma and do try to get walking or something in every day. I maintain between 114-117. I wear 0 in all jeans pretty much and xsmall tops--some smalls. Other jeans I wear are labeled as 25. Under the weight I lost...I found a set of very narrow hips. I still can't believe where I was at and how different I feel where I am now!

5'6 ladies- what's your size?
I haven't been exercising much, and very little of my few and far between workouts has been strength training. Now that I've made it about halfway to goal, time to get off the tushie and start building up the muscles ~
