Weight is so funny. This just goes to show that you cannot compare yourself to other people. When I weighed 146 I was a size 12. When you weigh 146 you are a size 6. Go figure!Originally Posted by Aggie_Ama
This morning I pulled down my "wish pants". Ones I could wear a few years back I always felt good in. Size 6 but a big/stretchy size 6. A few weeks ago they fit just a bit not right. This morning they fit. The scale says the same-146 but the body says wear the pants!I feel pretty, oh so pretty!
What a great birthday present! Happy Birthday, Amanda!

Sizing vs. weight has always baffled me, I carry a lot of weight in my thighs, chest and hips. But since these are wide leg women's pants with stretch they are the one 6 I can fit. I have a whole closet of 6s I can just dream about right now! My co-worker is a size 6 and probably weighs 120 and is only 5'4", it makes no sense. Originally Posted by tulip

Honestly I looked like I needed a steak, some of my friends thought I looked great but I see pictures and think I look sickly!Amanda

AggieAma,
Yeah, size and weight is a really strange thing. At my smallest adult weight (128) I was a 2 or 4 at 5'4"! It seems we are built pretty similarly.Andrea
