This topic always makes me want to cry just a little bit. At 5'4" 158 I'm a solid size 14. In the past I wasn't able to fit into a 12 until my weight was below 150. I don't think of myself as a freak of nature, but when everyone else my height is fitting into 12's and 14's at 30-50 lbs. heavier, it makes me wonder.
And yes, I do work out. A LOT.
I know how you feel, I seem to be bigger than those my height and well. I work out a lot too but I have wide hips and thighs so even though I might have a slimmer waist, I cannot get down past a UK 14 (US 10-12???) in jeans! Other clothes I can fit into a UK 12 (US 8-10?) on my lower half and for tops etc maybe a UK 10 (US 6-8?) sometimes...Also it varies depending on where I buy stuff from!
I am 5 foot 4 "
I used to weigh 377 lbs. I was a size 30-32 and a 5X in tops
Now I am just under 200. I am a size 14 in pants, L in yoga type pants or stretchy capri's for under my dresses and a L-XL in tops. Mostly a large though
I'm 5'2", weigh 150, and am pear shaped. I am probably a 10 (but I don't own any). My 8s are snug and my 12s are baggy and I wear a small/medium shirt depending on the brand.
