I am SOO short that my bones are smaller in every dimension - they don't hold up 5'6". If you're taller than me, your bones are going to be bigger - you're not going to get to those smaller sizes and look okay or feel okay. But at size 8, as a taller woman, you're going to look very similar to the eye, as I do in a 4. Does that make sense? ?

Yeah that totally makes sense. My hips are a little wide, and I know everyone holds weight at diferent places. But I too think of myself as an hourglass shape. I usally hold weight all over, not in one particular place. But I have tested to see my bones size and i have small to medium bone size. The only reason I am not 100% a small is b/c of my heights. However I'm barely a medium as well. I have very small wrists. (which is mostly what they go by when determining bone size). Since i know I am small to medium, I just have a hard time understanding why some people are in a size 8-10 and weight more than me and are my height. Thats all. They must have huge tatas. LOL.

Well I knkow we are all different. I'm glad this question came up though, bc/ I have been wondering what size I should expect to be in myself. Guess we will see. :O

P.S Gina, you look great by the way. Nice muscels. I'm working on mine. :O
