What size would you guess I am?

Today I've seen a photo of me and I feel I look much bigger than I thought I was. Dh thinks I look fine. I'm wondering if my brain is just completely unable to identify what is normal anymore.

What dress size (UK) would you think I am and where on the bmi - healthy - overweight or obese?

Btw I'm a comfortable 18(Which means i could push a 16 in some clothes but i like loose clothing ) and I could fit about two of you in my clothes. The people saying anything above 14 are the dicks, or deluded enough that they have your figure.

Wereeaglesdare · 29/02/2020 19:12

God why are there a bunch of assholes on this thread. Your figure for someone who's had twins aswell is amazing. I'd love to look like you OP. Isn't it sad our perceptions of a perfectly healthy lovely figure is skewed because of the skeletal figures we idolise in the media. I'd rather look like you any day OP than a bag of bones with no tits or an arse. Well done on your weight loss you look amazing!!!

14 ish.... healthy

kingkuta · 29/02/2020 19:16

I think maybe posters saying higher sizes are just a different shape to the OP. I'm not pear shaped so guessed at a higher size based on arm, hip and leg size. LeavingTheTable post makes a lot of sense, that pear shapes can wear smaller sizes because of waist size.

OP can see the 2nd photo now and you look gorgeous in that dress! I would burn that first photo Grin

Lostintransfixation · 29/02/2020 19:17

Hahaha this thread is hilarious. OP you clearly have a flat stomach, toned upper chest and toned upper arms. You have a defined waist. The only way anyone could feasibly call you a 14/16 is if you were 4 foot 9. Anyone who thinks you are an 18 may have some body issues. Having had twins and still have that figure is fabulous!

ScarlettBlaize · 29/02/2020 19:18

toned upper arms

Have you ever been inside a gym in your life?

Pentium85 · 29/02/2020 19:20

Well this thread as reached a new level since I left it a few hours ago.

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 29/02/2020 19:24

@ScarlettBlaize congrats, you’ve got the attention you were so desperately after. Here, have a Biscuit

Mrsmartinkemp · 29/02/2020 19:24

14

BobbyBlueCat · 29/02/2020 19:26

Not peeping to see if you've posted what you actually are.

I'd guess a 14 but at the top end of that (but not quite a 16).

It's a shit photo though with bad lighting and a crap angle so hard to tell.

Runnerduck34 · 29/02/2020 19:27

You look fine! I'd say a size 12, possibly even a 10 but youve definitely nothing to worry about!

RitaHayworthHair · 29/02/2020 19:30

How can we really be debating or contributing to this.

You're not overweight at all! Obese? WTF.

What is going on that someone in mid BMI and size 10-12 feels the need to seek assurances and that some are saying she is overweight???

Jeez

Quicklittlenamechange · 29/02/2020 19:38

OP I think this shows that different clothes suit different figure types.
The jeans look very tight and the top isnt really very flattering.
You look absolutely cracking in the dress Smile

vincettenoir · 29/02/2020 19:41

10, 23.

The OP has privacy concerns, and so we've agreed to take this down now.

littlemissalwaystired · 29/02/2020 19:47

16

WorraLiberty · 29/02/2020 19:48

The pic in the OP made me think size 14

Just checked the app and the second pic definitely looks like a size 10

The dress is beautiful by the way OP.

SignOnTheWindow · 29/02/2020 19:48

@m0therofdragons The first photo is not remotely unflattering and you look absolutely stunning in that black dress. You have the perfect hourglass figure, you lucky thing.

These sort of threads inevitably bring out the snipers.

Shockers · 29/02/2020 19:49

I would’ve said 12, with a flat stomach. It’s pretty difficult to tell though because it’s just a section of you!

pipnchops · 29/02/2020 19:51

Health size 12

pipnchops · 29/02/2020 19:51

Sorry, healthy size 12, healthy as in healthy bmi

Clymene · 29/02/2020 19:54

I would have guessed 10-12. There is no way you look a 14-16. Women on MN are fucking nuts when it comes to weight.

Shockers · 29/02/2020 19:55

I didn’t notice there were 12 pages and you’d said you were a 10. I can’t see the second photo. I’m a bit shocked by some of the comments on this thread now I’ve read through it!

Neednewwellies · 29/02/2020 19:55

I’d say size 12 but a comfortable size 12 rather than squeezing into a 12. Your body looks perfectly healthy to me.

TheMagiciansMewTwo · 29/02/2020 19:57

I couldn't see the second pic originally. Now, I can. You look a size 10 in the black dress pic and look amazing!
