Really would like to lose weight - top half is smaller than the bottom, which is usually a 14 in jeans and sometimes a 12 in a skirt. What do you all think?

My BMI is within the recommended limits. I have been going to the gym for a year now and am generally active and eat healthily - but no matter I do, I never seem to lose anymore than a couple of pounds.

NO!!! You sound beautiful!
If you were a size less, you might look out of proportion.
Be happy. If you are happy with how you feel, then it will show on the outside!
Be proud of being taller than most!
It doesnt matter what the lable says on clothes, its how you wear them!
BE HAPPY!

You are not fat, so stop thinking like that...no one IS fat, just fat, some people just store more of it than others...
You are a tall girl and it is totally fine to be the size you are. It sounds to me that because your top half is smaller than the bottom half ( which is the case for a lot of women) it sounds that you have a proper womans figure and you should feel good about yourself. What we all think is not important but what you think of yourself is. Eat healthly and enjoy your food, move your body be active, don't starve yourself or become obsessive, life is for living and having fun, not for hating ourselves - what a waste of a life that would be. Be happy x

I think you sound absolutely normal. The average size is larger than that now and 12 - 14 is a lovely figure with curves rather than stick thin which the other sex do not actually like that much. Keep happy and be glad that you are normal and a healthy weight. Just be aware of what you are putting in your body as thin people can also be unhealthy. Eat your 5 portions daily and a balanced diet and ENJOY LIFE!!!!

Size 12-14 is the average size for American women. Height does play a part in it, a 5'2" woman in a size 12 is going to be overweight, where a 5'11" woman in a 12 is going to be average. I am 6' tall myself, and I wear a 12. I feel I am a little overweight, but even if I lost 20-30 lbs, I could never get in a size smaller than probably 10, because of the sheer size of a 6' tall body. 5'8" is not so short either, so I would say you would fit in a category like me, a little overweight, but definitely not considered obese. Good luck on your weight loss goals.

No you are not fat you are what guys call thick. And believe it or not alot of guys love thick women. It's really all about the type of clothes that you wear since your top half is smaller then you should try wearing black pants and make sure your pants have pockets on the butts and some kind of design this will help you look thinner.

I would not say your fat, but the question is are you happy, never mind what others say, to me you sound a great shape, it's being happy that counts, so if you want to loose a little go ahead, but not much, not many people like thin.

In my opinion you're not fat. Just rememebr the UK average is something like a 16 or 18 and it sounds like your no-where near that.
As long as you eat healthy and are active u'll stay sweet!

The important question is, do YOU think you're fat? Who cares what the rest of us think? Admittedly if most of your weight were deposited in your backside then that would be unfortunate, but if you have a more or less even spread, then you sound fine.
Anyway, we like a few curves.

You sound in a very reasonable range of height and weight. Just be happy with yourself. Be positive and eliminate those negative thoughts.
