candylover, it's really not so strange; I am 5'6" and wore a size 10 easily when I weighed 152 lbs. The taller a person is the more they can weigh and still wear a smaller size than a shorter person of the same weight. On top of that, I am truly large-boned, as well as muscular. Since muscle and bone weigh more than fat, and are more compact, at any given weight I will be thinner than someone of my height with a smaller bone structure and less muscle. I don't think I expressed that very well, but it's late and I need to go to bed! Anyway, weight alone is so meaningless in describing ourselves; it doesn't begin to tell anything.
