These type of threads are getting really boring now. Just weigh yourself and go from there. If you are that concerned about your weight go and see a Dr. Just constant validation seeking.

Size 12 10.5 stone.

I really struggle with not feeling good or pretty enough and when someone asked me what size my dress was she said she thought it would've been at least a 16 not a 10.

Whoever 'she' was was clearly being a nasty bitch. Ignore.

ChangeOfNameAujourdhui · 22/10/2025 22:22

you have been on the receiving end of a very unpleasant comment from a very unpleasant person. I don’t know what her intention was. U Look very slim and a really healthy weight. I would be delighted if I had a figure like yours.

Lolalovesroses · 22/10/2025 22:21

Just read somebody had said, you look like a size 16. What a strange comment to make if you haven’t asked them. You’ve got a lovely figure, slim yet strong.

Rather blurred photo, and only a section; would help to see full length.
Size 14, 10-11st.

Oh....my mistake; I have now clicked on the photo!

Freshstartyear25 · 22/10/2025 22:18

I’ll say less than 11 stone and size 12 probably.

Come on. Soneone who clearly isn't a size 16 being told they thought they were that size is insulting and someone being deliberately mean.

Show quote history

It could be someone like my friend who thinks anyone smaller than her is slim/skinny when they clearly aren't - I'm 12-14 and she thought her 16 yr old daughters size 6-8 skirt would fit me 🫣.

Like a form of body dysmorphia but on other people.

Lolalovesroses · 22/10/2025 22:17

Size 12, 11 stone 6

Owly11 · 22/10/2025 22:16

Size 14 / 12 stone

Redhairandhottubs · 22/10/2025 19:57

Size 12 and about 11 - 11.5 stone. You’re rhe same height as me and similar to how I look when I’m this weight.

Same!

QuickPeachPoet · 22/10/2025 22:15

You aren't fat at all! Not skinny but certainly not fat! You look like a normal healthy size.
And I love the dress.

Ladybridgerton25 · 22/10/2025 22:15

I genuinely think a lot of people aren’t clicking on and opening the full photo as the initial image looks different to when it’s opened. You do not look bigger then a size 12.

venus7 · 22/10/2025 22:12

Supporterofwomensrights · 22/10/2025 22:12

You look lovely and the person who upset you sounds horrible.

As I said in my previous post I doubt it although I can believe that you think you look like that.

Show quote history

You can believe what you like, it's a long time ago now, I've seen enough photos. I am way less curvy now.

I work in fitness and regularly weigh and measure clients - it is amazing how different the same weight looks on people.

OP you have a great figure and that woman is a total weirdo.

TappyGilmore · 22/10/2025 22:06

FFS of course you do not look like a size 16, that is someone deliberately trying to be nasty, I would have guessed size 10-12 (based on the fact that I am mostly a 12 and you’re very slightly slimmer).

Ifitaintgotnoswing · 22/10/2025 22:04

i’d say old school size 14
which could be 10-12 today

AbsentosaurusRex · 22/10/2025 22:03

11st Size 14

*edited to add you look great

BeerOrStout · 22/10/2025 22:02

Not another one of these!

Why?

What do you want to get out of it?

About 10 st as you're tall and have big boobs.

neilyoungismyhero · 22/10/2025 22:02

12/14

PrincessofWells · 22/10/2025 22:01

12 stone size 14, but difficult to say from a frontal picture.

I really struggle with not feeling good or pretty enough and when someone asked me what size my dress was she said she thought it would've been at least a 16 not a 10.

I can tell you, Im 5ft 2, wear size 8 jeans, skirts and trousers, a 12 top ( XS in some places) yet Im over 9.stone and just touching the healthy BMI , and sat here, I look like a Buddha - fat fat belly

We all come in different shapes and sizes. My friend is nearly a foot taller, 2 stone heavier , we we wear the same size in dresses

You need to find a bit of confidence in yourself. Easier said then done, mines only here sometimes cos post menopause I dont give a f much now

But that's taken a lot of learning.

WeeGeeBored · 22/10/2025 21:59

ineedtoknow123 · 22/10/2025 21:52
