what size/weight do you think iam?

You look great, as does the OP. You both look about the same size to me, although, as you say, different shapes.

I don't know why you think you have a wide skeleton though, you look very slim through the hips in that photo. More so than OP for sure.

Size 14 and about 11 and a half stone.

Pretty enough for... what? who? What is this minimal standard you expect yourself to meet and who set it and have they any right to rule your life and self-esteem?

I effectively said in my first post I couldn't possibly tell (basically photo was too blurry) and when this lady got it wrong, that's on them they couldn't figure it out, not on you.

I'm barely taller than OP... My weight is probably just under 10 stone & I need size 16 in tops sometimes to get my big shoulders in them. People need clothes that fit. That's all the shop server cares about.

This is me now at 5ft 7 11 stone size 10 so yes we’re the same height and size but different builds. Everyone is different, hate to post pics but some people just aren’t believing that different people have different shapes.

The OP is also 5'7, but lighter than you. She wears size 10-12 so you're more or less the same size.

Yet you were also saying when you're 2 stone heavier at 13 stone you look like she does now? I can see why people are confused TBH.

These replies are so weird. Why are people being so bitchy & competitive? "I'm sure you thought you looked a certain way" "you're deluded" etc.

I'm 5ft 7. In the early noughties (when sizes were far less generous) I was a size 10 at 11 stone. I'm fairly sure that would be a size 8 now. I was a size 12 at 13 stone. I was always into fitness however so proportionally more muscle, less bodyfat than most people. Bone density and frame is obviously a factor too. Many people look fat despite having a healthy BMI and vice versa.

I find this thread sad for various reasons. The OP is clearly suffering with low self esteem, I don't know why but it's nothing to do with her figure which is beautiful.

On top of that, someone in her real life is trying to tear her down. The appropriate response would have been "why would you be wondering what size dress I'm wearing? Were you hoping to borrow it?"

I genuinely thought we were beyond this, it seems more like a conversation people would have had thirty years ago. Size-shaming to me about clothes seems as bizarre as size-shaming about shoes or eye colour or whatever; who cares? However perhaps these days aren't in the past and I'm just living in my own little world and thinking we have all moved on from this bullshit. I did visit a friend in a UK city last week who I haven't seen for years and I was unsettled by how much she referred to people's size, weight and appearance even when it had absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

Thankyou, honestly there’s some small minded people on here who won’t accept truth.

What do you mean “no way”? What don’t you get about different shapes? I have wide hips and shoulders, never had a petite frame even as a teen so weight hangs off me well.

I’m 5ft 7, 11 stone and a size 10.

Size 12-14 prob 11.5st given your height

Anyone else fail to click on the image to open it fully last night?! I think there were a few, judging by the posts 🙈

Honestly it sounds like someone is jealous...no way do you look fat in that photo ...I'd have guessed a size 10. And I wish I had those legs of yours! 😄

I thought you weighed more because of your height. You are a slim woman. Fwiw, I think the word fat is often just used as a general insult towards women regardless of whether they are overweight or not. They just know it's a way to get to someone.

Size 12-14. I am rubbish at weights - so won't bother guessing.

That's exactly what I meant. It was nothing personal to anyone else it was meant only for the op.

My mum and auntie were the same height, similar weights, but a different dress size and people always thought that the "heavier" one looked slimmer.
So it depends how you carry it, how toned you are etc. As long as you feel healthy and your doctor is happy (if you see one for a medical condition to be monitored), then all's well.

My size changed when I had 4 children and I was very slim myself before I had them. Thanks for sharing.

Why do people come out with this utter bollocks!? I've been v slim my whole life, and it had been anything but 'boring'...

From the photo I'd say 10.5 stone, size 10-12?

I'm very slim and life is not at all boring. Plenty of naturally skinny people lead non-boring lives. If you meant that life would be boring if OP tried to lose a load of weight to be slimmer than she already naturally is then I agree, that would be dull, but OP has not said she is unhappy with her weight, but that she struggles to feel good and pretty.

You BMI is around 22 so you are in the healthy weight range. You don't look like size 16 to me.

Well the person who said that was an absolute bitch. I'd like to know the history behind it. Do you weigh less than them? Have you recently lost weight? You look absolutely lovely and for them to say you are fat shows the problem is with them are not with you.

Pretty enough for who and what?

Why are you taking your value from how you look?

I think everyone would do better if they realised we are all a product of our genes and we can't all be stunningly beautiful.

I was cute as a baby and toddler, quite pretty as a small child, bloody awful as a bigger kid and now I'm in my fifties I have about six days a year when I can see what my lover sees in me. The rest of the time I have no time for how I look. My value is I'm good at my job, two people had the support they needed to be fed, helped to bed, some chores done which they might not have got if I'd not gone in on my day off.

We all have our strengths and weaknesses and what you think is attractive might not be what I do but it won't be anything to do with the symmetry of your face.

I’m 5’7, 11.5 stone and size 14, you are significantly slimmer than me so I’d say size 10 and 9.5 stone!

Size 14 , 12 stones
