If I would like to be a size 6 and I am 5 feet 5 inches, approximately what weight does this correspond to?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that if you are 5.5" and want to be a size 6, you should not weigh any more than 125 lbs.... you should be able to wear that size and be healthy looking... not anorexic.We all need to set a good example for all the young women out there. Also, you need to exercise to keep your body toned so you can look good in that size 6.

Answer 2

For me (I'm 5'5") it was about 120-132, and a size 8 is 133-145 but we may not be the same build, and it also depends on how your weight is distributed. Don't base your diet plan around achieving a particular dress size. When I got down to 125, EVERYONE said I looked terrible. I'm happy now at 140

Answer 3

That depends a lot on the clothing manufacturer. Some makers "size up" to make women feel good about fitting into a "smaller" size. Clothing size varies a lot, but I would say if you were around 125 lbs you'd easily fit into a size 6.

Answer 4

Oh, good grief. ANOTHER one that's a slave to the numbers. At 5'5" you should weight 130-135 lbs. And everyone is different. One person who weighs 130 at your height might be an 8 while someone else who weighs 140 could be a 6. It depends on the person and where they carry their weight.

Answer 5

Everyone is different, it depends on lots of factors.

It might help to know what your current weight and clothes size/measurements are. Usually losing 5lb-7lb corresponds to an inch of fat loss.

HTH : )

I'm about 5 4 and i weigh about 100 lb it could go from a range of 110 -120 although i am young, so i don't think you probably are the same age i am.
