I'm currently 12 stone 5 and 5foot 6. I'm still blaming 7mo DS for my weight, but in actual fact it's the maternity leave biscuit binge I've been having.
I'm usually a size 12/14 but I haven't been able to get my size 14 jeans back on. Saying tgat though, I hold the weight on my bum and legs, so the jeans may fit my waist if I could get them up past my chunky legs!

Before I got pregnant I managed to get my weight down to 10 stone 7 (150llbs) which is the lightest I've been for years. My size 14 jeans were still tight round my arse and legs though! Hmm

Weird how different sizes people can be! A 14 would be tigh on me.. That said dome brands have enormous sizes (fat face) and some have tiny (h&m, topshop).

Branleuse · 07/11/2013 10:27

68kg, and about a uk 12-14

redexpat · 07/11/2013 10:36

Before I got pregnant I was 59k. I'm thinner now, but don't have scales, so no idea. Am somewhere between a 10 and 12.

jammypuddingmonkey · 07/11/2013 10:41

I'm 11st 5 and a size 12 on the bottom, 14/16 on top.

I've lost 2st since June and am measuring myself to work out what size I am for new clothes.

A few years ago I was 10st 11 and a size 14- and exercised far more than I do now. I'm still bfing though, I blame that for my weight fluctuating over the day by a lot.

15 years ago, when I was 18, I was 7st 10 at one point and still a size 12. I remember buying a size 16 at 9 1/2 stone back then too. This somehow taints how I feel about fitting into a size 12 now!

HelloDoris · 07/11/2013 10:46

5ft 6 and a bit

Weigh 12stone 4, wear mainly 14 occasional (big) 12 and still have 16s that fit perfectly.

I want to be 11st 6 so I'm bordering 12/14, although I desperately need to work on my tummy. Two massive babies ruined my stomach muscles, that's where the majority of my extra weight is. With a flat tum I reckon I could easily be in 12/14 bottoms. My boobs however have a mind of their own, breast feeding has left them HUGE!

Im a size 10 and weigh 9.10

JackieBrambles · 07/11/2013 11:02

I'm 5ft6 and weigh 9 stone 6lbs. Wear a size 10.

At my heaviest (a few years ago) I was 11 stone and wore a 14 or large 12s I think.

lollylaughs · 07/11/2013 11:04

Im 1.67m and 53kg

Mr Google says that 8.3 stone and 5ft5.

Size 8-10 clothes.

BlingBang · 07/11/2013 11:05

About 10 and a half stone - size 12 pushing towards a 14. Need to an intend to lose a about a stone.

NumptyNameChange · 07/11/2013 11:06

the exact height and am currently a bit bulgy at about 10st9 or 10 but wearing a 12. at 10st i'm in size 10 bottoms but usually a 12 top. at 9st7 maybe size 8 bottoms and 10 top. at 12st i'd be in 14's. think i was nearly 13 and a half stone after i had ds and wore 16's for a while.

i was 10st at the beginning of summer but have put a bit back on after surgery and bits and bobs getting in the way of getting back on the case with the 5:2'ing. must get back to it but after christmas i think.

TeaJunky · 07/11/2013 11:06

I'm exactly that height and I weigh 9 stones.
After dd2 I went up to 11 stones but went back to my original weight.

frenchfancy · 07/11/2013 11:08

Same height as you OP. I'm now 10st3 and (mostly) size 10. At 12st8 I was a 16. (hint 5:2 is the BEST)

I am amazed at the differences as well. Frame size and boob size must make a big difference. I'm 32F, and a large frame.

eurochick · 07/11/2013 11:12

I'm 5'6 and a bit and currently weigh 10'2. I'm a 10-12.

My usual weight is 9'7ish and I'm a comfortable size 10 in most shops then.

sassytheFIRST · 07/11/2013 11:14

11st5, size 14/16 on top (ENORMOUS tits), size 12-14 bottom. I'd like to be 10st4, that would make me size 12-14 on top, 10-12 on bottom.

sassytheFIRST · 07/11/2013 11:15

Oh, and i call myself 5'7 but really same as the op.

PFBoftheDay · 07/11/2013 11:17

I'm about 10.5 stone. 12 on top, 10-12 on bottom, though more like an 11, because a 10 is usually tight and a 12 falls down my arse.

I am rectangular shaped.

TwoPeasOnePod · 07/11/2013 11:20

5ft 7", weighing in at 9 st 11 lb, size 10 no hips no boobs no arse, like a teenage boy Wink

TwoPeasOnePod · 07/11/2013 11:20

PFB I am also a rectangle

CooEeeEldridge · 07/11/2013 11:24

I'm 'just under' 5'7 (make of that what you will) and am 9st 6lb and size 10. I can see exactly where the sweet stuff goes but can't knock it on the head! V active though. Your size 16 target sounds realistic.

Rockchick1984 · 07/11/2013 11:27

OP I tend to lose a dress size when I lose a stone (roughly). Where do you usually weigh yourself, 2stone seems a huge difference between 2 sets of scales!

Rockchick1984 · 07/11/2013 11:28

Oh, and pre DS I was 9st 7, size 10. Pregnant again, and pre-this-DC I was 10st 5, size 12.

BigBoobiedBertha · 07/11/2013 11:31

I'm 5' 7" and I was a size 16 at 13.5 stone.

I was a size 12/14 at 9st 9lbs though.

I don't think us telling you what we might weight for any given dress size really tells you anything. We all have different builds don't we?

SupSlick · 07/11/2013 12:44

11 stone before pregnancy & was usually a size 12.
9 stone 3 during pregnancy (Hyperemesis Gravidarum meant I couldn't keep anything down & spent most of pregnancy in hospital)
12 stone now (FU Hyperemesis) and getting bigger by the day (cakes) so am a size 14/16. Can squeeze into a size 12 if I don't breathe/didn't have boobs etc.
I'm exactly 5 ft 6.5!
