Ah just read your update - you’re beautiful as you are and I encourage you to embrace your body as it is.

If you lose or put on a few pounds don’t worry. After children and with age the body changes and that is all very normal.

As for the feet, you aren’t that heavy. It can happen for a variety of reasons. Buy Birkenstocks they work wonders. 💐

size 10/12
age 45
weight 9.5 stone

Emptyandsad · 14/09/2023 21:59

You look great!

30-ish and a 10-12

thank you!
im 5’8, 39, 75 kg and a size 12 sometimes 14.
I think I have plantar fasciitis and I thought it could be because I’m heavy?
I’d like to be 65kg, I was around that for most of my 30s, and have been (pre kids) 55kg. That probably wasn’t healthy. I’d be happy with 60kg. I don’t like how I look now, I’m not losing sleep over it just want to do/be better

I looked at the post and thought ‘well that’s my body!!!’, our measurements are identical and so are our past weights

Cuc · 14/09/2023 22:03

ah I’m feeling better, you’ve all been so reassuring - thank you !!! and yes I know I’m at the naughty end of the BMI scale, but like I said, want to do better!
I wore those slip on vans for a while so they may to be blame for my dodgy feet.
the jeans were the biggest I could find in Zara, i think 40 or 42?
the top was an L…
to the haters 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

I would have said size 10 and 35

You look similar proportions to me, I'm 5.5 but weigh 57kg ish

Cuc · 14/09/2023 22:06

And it was neither a bragging nor fishing post. I just looked in the mirror and was a bit (a lot) disappointed - I had to talk on camera today for work and honestly am dreading a bit how I will look. It will be shown in front of a large ish audience..

Hard to say without a face

I'd guess
Weight 78kg
Size 16

Age 50s

No way! I know what that looks like because I'm pretty much on it.

I would say 63kg, size 12, age 41.

They just aren’t very flattering clothes for your figure - the jeans aren’t the right fit for your shape so they hang weirdly, and the top droops and bunches around your middle and gives the impression you have a flabby stomach. As I said in my previous post, your posture doesn’t help: you’re slouching, which rounds your shoulders and makes your top half look undefined. Don’t beat yourself up - you need to find your style and literally stand up for yourself more!

Slouching?

MotherOfGodWeeFella · 14/09/2023 22:14

Your arms looked very toned and you look to be in great shape. Zara sizing is on the small side, always has been.

DoDoDoD · 14/09/2023 22:14

why why why do people make these pointless posts? If someone says you look size 6, age 25 would it make you feel better? Or 55, size 18, would it confirm whatever you think? Stop looking for validation or whatever it is you're looking for from strangers on the internet

ComeBackPeterComeBackPaul · 14/09/2023 22:15

40s, 5'6", size 12-14

Eartoday · 14/09/2023 22:15

60kg, size 10, 36.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 14/09/2023 22:17

Sounds like you are a fairly healthy weight and size for your height.

CornishGem1975 · 14/09/2023 22:17

Age 45, Size 14, weight hard to say as not sure of height but I'd say about 10 stone.

ranoutofquinoaandprosecco · 14/09/2023 22:17

I'm rubbish at these things but I think you look a bit like me! So I'm 47, size 12 no idea what I weigh!

Bored1000 · 14/09/2023 22:17

Very hard to tell as I don’t know your height but I’m going to hazard a guess at size 12
I think you look fine by the way

Wow, you’re exactly the same weight, age and height as me but you look much better! I have gained 20kg since 2019 and I hate the way I look. Peri menopause has hit (and I’ve been a lazy lethargic pig).

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 14/09/2023 22:19

Size 12. Bad lighting on one arm but looking at the other one I'd say about 38-42. Probs my not much older if you are shopping at Zara. I think you have a lovely figure....

Perfectly put

Janedoe82 · 14/09/2023 22:23

40, size 12, 10 stone

Chedderbites2 · 14/09/2023 22:26

Can't see your face, your arms look slightly toned so maybe mid 30s. I think size 12-14 but more so 12. The jeans look baggy. I dont know what weight you are as depends on height too maybe about 68kg?

MamasnotPapas · 14/09/2023 22:27

For what it’s worth you look absolutely fine! Would love to be your size , you got it going on girl !!

Rachpen · 14/09/2023 22:42

12 stone, 38 and a size 12. Maybe 5ft 4 . I think you have a great figure.
