5' 4" And Size 4 or 6. How Many Pounds?

Hi all - this is a very random question, but are there any of you out there who are a size 4 or 6 and are 5 feet 4 inches tall? If so, how much do you weigh? A friend and I were talking yesterday and she'd like to be a size 4. In my ideal world, I'd be a size 6. We're both 5 feet 4 inches, but I have no clue what weight I would need to aspire to, to be a size 4 or 6.

I do know that weight varies, so that some people will be a bit heavier (more muscle, different body type) than others in the same size clothing. I'm just looking for an approximation.

Thanks!

What can I do next?

I am 5'5" and 135 and wear a 6. At 130 I wear a 4. I work out a lot and have an athletic mesomorph build. I would say I'm a very average build - not "man-ish" and not "waifish." When I was younger and not as strong I wore the same sizes and weighed 115-125. But I wasn't as hot. LOL (That's old people humor.)

I am 5'4", and my doctor said I was just right, and expected me to be 115 lbs. But I am built differently - I have more dense muscle than most, so I weigh 130 lbs. I wear a size 2-4 for pants and 4 shirt.

Well, here is the formula to roughly figure out an "ideal" weight. 100 lbs for 5 feet and then 5 lbs for each extra foot. So by that you should be 120 lbs. This will of course vary if you have a very large bone structure or a small one.

Also-many different weights fit into 4 and 6. It depends on where and how you carry it. Also consider that vanity sizes are rampant. I am the same "size" now that I was 15 years ago but am actually 10 lbs heavier.

I'm 5'4" and weigh about 113. I am a size 4, but can sometimes go to a 2 depending on the garment. My chest is a little larger than many that size at a 32D and I am probably average in terms of muscle weight. Hope that helps!

I'm 5'5", about a buck forty five and a size six but one grain of rice from a size 8. LOL.

If I were in better shape, I'd be a soild size 6. I'd never be a size 4 because I've got way too much junk in the trunk for all that.

I'm a super curvy cute girl and I love it which is why I'm not trying to really drop on ounce.

In all seriousness the clothes did fit better when I was 15 pounds lighter. I don't worry about it because I still know I'm cute to me. LOL again.

Hmm, I'm a little taller, so taking that into account... I think you'd need to be about 115 lbs to get into a size 4 if you are 5'4".

Peoples weights will vary, better to go by your measurements. Look up a few of the places you like to buy clothes from, most sites will list the measurements for their sizes, so you can see what a size 4 measures. Keep track of your weight loss by measuring inches lost in addition to lbs lost. I'm 5'5" and weigh around 125, I'm a 4/6 depending on the style/brand.

I'm 5'7", 130 and wear a size 4 - I would think 130 would get you into a 6 and 120 for the 4. I try to focus on how I feel over my size/weight. Best wishes to you!
