If you are 5ft.5 and a size 12...

[VLCDoingIt]

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 exactly 5.5 and at my natural/ideal weight I should be wearing an average size 10 @ 9 stone.

I'm currently very heavy for me and weigh 11 stone and am wearing a dress size 12, am currently on my hols!

The holiday dresses I'm wearing were bought from "women's shops" Micheal Kors, Debenhams, Next etc. Clothes bought from some shops in a size 12 would not fit me at this weight; H&M, River Island, Reiss (my favourite)!

I reckon a goal weight of 10.5st would guarantee a good fit!

Good luck!!!

10- 11 stone depending on the clothing type and size generosity.

I'm 5"6 and fluctuate between 10'10 and 10'13 and I fit into a size 12 comfortably

I am 5ft3 and weigh around 11st current size 14 bottom 16 top
Haven't been a size 12 for a very long time but shows how sizing has become much more generous To fit in a 12 I was around 8st to 8.5 that was a 24" waist 34 hip

I’m reading this and wondering if I’m wearing a weird size - I’m 5ft 3 and weigh just under 9st and wear a 12

Most posters seem a lot heavier than me - I’m 5’6 and mainly wear size 12, weigh 9 st 10 at the mo (several lbs heavier than I’d like to be).

10.5 stone here and size 12. Measurements are 35 - 31 - 36

@BayandBlonde you're 5ft 4, 11st 4 and BMI of 18?

About 68kg, ish. Not sure what it is in stones/lbs.

Does everyone who’s posted always wear that size? I’m exactly 5’4” and weigh 9 stone I always fit into a size 10 - although I do have wide rib cage (i’m a 34C bra size).

I'm 5'4", size 10/12 and weigh 8st10

I was 5'5" but due to a misplaced disk, in my back, I've lost that crucial inch 😭

Wow that's a lot of variation!

I'm 5'5" and am currently just under 70kg and wear sizes from 10 to 14 - I favour a loose fit, and am also an E cup. A couple of years ago I was 63kg (slimmed for wedding) and was in size 10.

I need to be 10st to comfortably fit in a size 12 jeans. My top half is smaller than my bottom half though so at 10.7 - 11st I can fit in a 12 dress (prom style or maxi) but jeans I’m generally a size 14 unless I get to 10 stone. My weight fluctuates massively. I’m learning to embrace it 😀

I can occasionally get into a 10 but it’s tight - trousers especially. I have a fairly big busy which explains the 12 on top - I’m a 30g. But I’m only a 10 when I get to about 8 and a half stone and it’s hard to get there

This thread is interesting how everyone carries weight differently.

I'm 5'4 (and a bit ) and when I was size 12 I was 10.5

Does everyone who’s posted always wear that size? I’m exactly 5’4” and weigh 9 stone I always fit into a size 10 - although I do have wide rib cage (i’m a 34C bra size)

No I don’t Always were the same size, it depends on the fit and the brand. I’m the same weight as you and an inch taller but I wear a 30GG bra. So you are 4 inches broader on the back than me.

I'm 5"5 and have always been a 12 but feel the heaviest I have in years. Reckon I weigh about 10 stone

I am 5 5 small framed I am between a 10 and a 12 bottoms and a 8 and a 10 tops - weigh around 9stone 4.
Currently slight flab going on - when toned better I am a more consistent 10.

I find the whole weight/build thing fascinating. Have a friend who weighs around 2 stone more than me but seems to carry it on a bigger frame and more solidly. Never a hint of flab. Whereas me - small frame 2 stone lighter has flab around midriff which makes some things look awful on me. I put on 5 pounds and it really shows and wobbles !!

Ah @HeronLanyon you are my body double .

At just under 9 stone I’m the lightest on this thread and 2 stone lighter than some. But I still wear a 12 top half for my boobs and I don’t look slim because I too have a flabby middle. In fact I just bought a new skirt today and the 10 waist was too tight so I had to buy a 12 .

I’m trying to get down to 8.5 stone where I hope I’ll look reasonably slim but it’s very hard and I’ve been stuck at 8st 13 for weeks. Sigh.

0lga I suspect I am you! My middle is the reason I don’t wear a 10 as I bulge out of it. If I get to 8 and a half stone it goes away but I can’t sit at that weight without being purely starved. I have had 3 kids so I’ll blame them 😂

I'm 5'4, weight 9 stone 8, and wear 10-12.

I’d be a size 12 at around 11 and a half stone. I weigh less now though. My mother weighs 11 stone 7 now and is 5’4 with a high body fat % and she’s a 14.

By 10 stone 12 I was getting back into 10s albeit a bit snug. At 9 stone 7 I’m an 8. I have a higher than average amount of muscle.

Should say I’m an hourglass shape with mahoosive boobs whatever my size . At a 12 I at least look in proportion, at an 8 I look like I’m defying the laws of gravity and spend most of my time with my arms folded across my chest .

I go between 9 stone and 9 and a half stone depending on if I stick to exercises or not . I usually wear 12 bottom as got massive thighs and can get away with a small or 10 on top . Have some odd size 12 clothes from 10 years ago and they’re actually a lot smaller than current size 12 clothing .
