What do you weigh please?

I've bought clothes in a 12 for my holiday next year as a kick up the bum and now I'm wondering what weight I will need to be 😂

I know everyone is different but just curious.

I'm 5ft 5 and when I was wearing a size 12, I weighed about 11 stone. I'm now about 10 stone and can wear between 8 and 10s. I've lost more fat and gained muscle when you look at rhe breakdown of my weight, so although only a stone lighter you can see a drastic difference!

I'm 5.4 and a 12 currently. I weigh 9st 12.

HeyMonkey · 22/08/2019 18:44

But there's bugger all muscle on me. Just minor chub.

I hover either side of 70kg (11st) if im a size 12. Though people say that is heavier than i look.

YouJustDoYou · 22/08/2019 18:47

I'm 5.5 and was a size 12 6 years ago, weighing in at between 10.5 stone and 11 stone. Now, those clothes STILL FIT - but current size 12s do not - so I have to wear size 14, which come up the same size as the size 12 stuff I still have.

Hyggemama · 22/08/2019 18:47

Im 5ft 6 but have done a lot of weight training in the gym in the past so might influence it because of muscle.Hmm

SweetMarmalade · 22/08/2019 18:47

I’m 5’7 and in a 12 and weigh around 10st 6 - I have weighty thighs and boobs.

SweetMarmalade · 22/08/2019 18:48

I need to get to the gym.

SweetMarmalade · 22/08/2019 18:49

Actually, depending on where I shop I ‘just’ about get in a 12

firesong · 22/08/2019 18:49

I used to be that height and wore a 12 when I weighed 9st 12 I think 🤔

VLCDoingIt · 22/08/2019 18:49

Hmm my aim is 11stone so I may be OK. I might try for 10.7 just to be sure

But it was kind of loose, I didn't like looking squeezed into clothes and was also breastfeeding at the time so needed easy access, not tight

firesong · 22/08/2019 18:51

Thing is, people carry their weight in different places so it's difficult - you could be a 12 and weigh 9st or closer to 11st

Mileysmiley · 22/08/2019 18:54

I'm 5'5" and weigh 9 1/2 stone so I sometimes fit in a size ten instead of a 12.. I am size 10 for jeans but I need a size 12 top because I am 34 DD bra size.

Morgan12 · 22/08/2019 19:03

I'm 5'4 and was a size 12 at around 11.7 stone. I'm 12 stone now and just into a 14.

Everyone carries it different it's just too hard to say really.

SeamusFinnigan · 22/08/2019 19:30

Ooh I'm 5'5 and a size 12! I weight 11 and a half stone actually, but have always weighed more than people might think from looking at me. I do think I look my best at just over 11 stone but that's still a size 12.

DinosApple · 22/08/2019 19:36

I'm 5.5 too and 11st. I'd say atm a 12 is a bit snug, so 14 it is for me. At 10.5 I am definitely a 12. I want to lose that half stone, but it can wait until after the holidays.

RaspberryRippleCrisps · 22/08/2019 19:36

I'm 5 ft 5 in and when I weighed between 9 stone and 9 stone 7 lbs,I was a size 12. But this 30 years ago...... I think clothes sizing may have changed somewhat since then!

Floralnomad · 22/08/2019 19:36

My dd is 5’5” and is a size 10/12 and she weighs 9 stone 1 , so if you are the same shape as her , which is average all over , you need to aim a bit lower than 11 stone .

BayandBlonde · 22/08/2019 19:37

Weight is irrelevant.

I'm 5'4. Size 10 and currently weigh 11st 4. BMI of 18. I lift very heavy and have a lot of muscle

Star801 · 22/08/2019 19:38

Pre-baby I was 10 stone and a size 12. I’m 5’4.

Maryann1975 · 22/08/2019 19:39

I’m that height and am just growing out of my size 10 clothes. For the past few years I have been just under 10stone, but at the end of last year creeped above 10. I’m now just under 10.5stone. I’m undecided if I should just embrace it and buy bigger clothes or make an effort to slim down and fit properly in the 10s again. I reckon around 10.5stone is a size 12 for me.

Troels · 22/08/2019 19:41

I'm 4' 11" and in size 12 I weight 60kg or 9.4 stone. I need to loose a stone.

indisposed38 · 22/08/2019 19:43

I'm 5'4" and size 12 and weigh 10st 7. I would prefer to be 10 st as I think I'm at the max of a size 12.

wishiwasabettergardener · 22/08/2019 19:44

I’m 5’5 and currently 67 kg (10st 5) - pear shape and bottom size 12, top is mostly 10. I feel I need to be just below 10st to be a comfortable size 10.
