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 5'5" and was 8st 4 -7lbs when I was young, 9st 4-8lbs in my forties and fifties but would say I was still quite slender, my figure was better then.

TalentedMsRipley · 22/08/2019 19:49

5'6 here and 8.12 lb.

VincentVanGoughandhisear · 22/08/2019 19:54

I'm 5"4 and currently at 10st 10.

Amberheartkitty · 22/08/2019 19:57

I’m 5 ft 7 I weigh 11 stone. I’m a size 16 on top and a size 10 on bottom. My boobs are huuuuge. I look ridiculous and nothing fits.

fruitpastille · 22/08/2019 20:04

Am 5.5 height and to be consistently size 12 need to be around 10 stone. I'm about 10 pounds over that at the moment and consistently size 14 unless in fatface!

BearSoFair · 22/08/2019 20:07

5"5, size 12 top and bottom, 9st 8.

Misty999 · 22/08/2019 20:11

11 stone but can't get into a 12 denim or fitted trousers.

I’m 5’5”, mostly size 12 and weigh 10 stone 6

Bravelurker · 22/08/2019 20:22

5.5, size 12 and 11st last time I weighed myself. Mostly muscle and boobage. I have done the string test and I pass with a couple of inches to spare, so my main focus is my waist - when that goes I'm for the knackers yard.

Shadow1234 · 22/08/2019 20:36

5'5 and size 10/12 depending where I buy my clothes. I hover between 8st .13 and 9st.3.

Clementara21 · 22/08/2019 20:46

I'm 5'5 and a half, size 12 and weigh about 10st 4lb. Would like to be a round 10st really, that was what I was at my lightest. I have an hourglass figure and big boobs.

CaptainMyCaptain · 22/08/2019 20:50

5ft 4 and a size 12 on top and 10 at the bottom, I weigh 9st.

namby · 22/08/2019 20:57

I was a size 12 in most shops when I was 11st, but the fact I was pushing into a size 14 was the wake up call I needed. 11st is slightly in the overweight category of BMI for 5 ft 5, I'm a 10 when I weigh 9.5-10st, I feel slim when 9-9.5st.

Ker100 · 22/08/2019 20:57

I'm 5 foot 5 and am a size 12 when I'm 9st 10lb - 10st 10lb.

Under that and I'm a size 10. Over that I've been up to 11st 7lb and was size 14 at that point.

milliefiori · 22/08/2019 21:00

I can weigh anything between 9st 7 and 11 st and get into size 12. Looks better at 9 st 7 though.

Babbabump · 22/08/2019 21:02

I'm 5.4 and weigh 10.stone but my boobs are E cup surely a lot of weight is in those Hmm

0lga · 22/08/2019 21:06

I’m 5’5” and weight 9 stone, but I have to wear size 12 tops and dresses because I have big boobs.

RubaDubMum89 · 22/08/2019 21:09

I'm 5'4/5'5, I wear a 12 or 14 on top depending on the style of top (I prefer loose so you can't see the mum tum!) and a 12 on the bottom.

Last time I dared look at the scales I was 11st.

The extra 2st I gained after DD is purely chocolate 🙈

countdowntonap · 22/08/2019 21:10

I’d be 11-12 stone (closer to 12 to be a size 12 all over) but have had an active job since 16, and work out nearly every day.

Illstartexercisingtomorrow · 22/08/2019 21:14

Depending on your body composition (fat:muscle) you may be better off aiming for a waist size rather than weight.

I give you my own example for why weight does not reflect well for everyone - I am 5’ 2” and weigh just over 10.5stone. Which sounds massive for someone my size. But I naturally have a high muscle mass and when I work out I put on ‘weight’ but get smaller - I am a size 8-10 on top, 10-12 on the bottom. I have a little way to go in terms of fat loss, I’m aiming for a solid size 8 top and size 10 bottom, but I am certain that at that size I will weigh close to 10st.

Anyway my point being that weighing scales can be quite demotivating. Get a tape measure and fat callipers. Very easy to track your progress that way.

Frouby · 22/08/2019 21:14

I am 5ft 5in, to be a size 12 I would need to be less than 11st, maybe 10 and a half to get size 12 tops on as have big boobs. Am very top heavy (36 hh at the moment) and could possibly be a 12 on the bottom half at 11st.

mollyblack · 22/08/2019 21:15

I'm 5 5 and a size 12- my weight varies between 10st 7lbs and 11st

Illstartexercisingtomorrow · 22/08/2019 21:16

I meant just under 10.5 stone

LucilleBluth · 22/08/2019 21:16

5' 4' size 12. 10 stone.

sheshootssheimplores · 22/08/2019 21:18

I’m slightly tallernd a 12 at 11 stome 4. So I agree you’d be looking at around 11 stone as a maximum.
