    Default Body Size & Category..

    I'm 5foot 2 and weigh 130-ish. I know I'm not slim but I don't consider myself to be plus size either, I consider myself to be an average healthy, female adult and am listed in the curvy category. I wear a size 4 to 6 so clearly I'm not a size 12 or above BUT according to the CDC, if I did the calculations of weight to height, I'm considered plus size. Currently I'm in the curvy category. Am I in the wrong category because a misguided CDC declaration? I find the hypocrisy in American media to be disturbing at the very least.

    "Considering that the average clothing size American women wear is size 14 (plus-size is considered anything over size 12) and that the average woman in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is about 5-foot-4 and weighs 166 pounds..........."

    well it depends on your frame and proportions I'm a few inches taller than you when I was 130 ish I was in the slender category but at 140 (size 4/6) I put my self in the curvy category I have a small frame though. Honestly a 4 or 6 is curvy for your height so I think you're right to be in that category tons of guys love curvy girls so I'm sure you'll be fine. I wouldn't pay attn to the bmi calculators etc and if they say you're plus size or overweight I think body fat percent calculators are the most telling.

    I would go by BMI or anything like that. I would say look at yourself relative to other girls in the category. If you're about the same size you're in the right place.

    I don't have help to offer, other than reinforce that checking around categories and seeing where you "fit" being a good idea. However, I'm super interested to see what these ladies have to say!

    I'm in the same boat as you, at 5'3'' 125lbs... not exactly BBW of course, but certainly not definitively fitting into the 'slender' category, either! You'd think it would be a "DUH!" sort of answer, but should you think of it in terms of what you actually are (chubby, curvy, heavy, skinny, whatever..) or trying to anticipate how guys would categorize you if you happened to be their type. Everyone has a type, but some guys see "curvy" and think to themselves "Oh, those are just the fatties being nice to themselves!" (hopefully not) or do they think what I think, which is quite simply "curvy"= a lady with some desirable curves, perhaps a bit of softness.

    But if that's not how guys see it, it would be suuuuper helpful to hear some more advice!

    It depends on how your proportioned. Even when I weighed 100 pounds I was considered curvy by most guys because I had a big ass and wide hips. It depends on your shape really ... But there's no rule ...

    I hate BMI and CDC. Not everyone fits those. Everyone comes in different sizes and shapes, especially women.

    I'm like a little under 5'3 and 110 lbs I think. Most scales say I'm underweight, but I've always been tiny. I stopped caring what some chart says, and started caring what my doctor says and my own comfort.

    Work them curves girl, you are beautiful!

    I'm 5'0 and I weigh 120. I'm borderline "overweight" at a BMI of 23.9 If you're comfortable in curvy category go for it. I don't cam but I do some occasional modeling. I don't list myself in the curvy category because I'm only a size 3. I actually used to weigh 150 llbs and a size 10. At my skinniest was 102 llbs but I started lifting weights because my ass looked like an 80 year old woman's. BMI does not address muscle mass so I'm reluctant to go by it in most cases.
