To ask how much you weigh if your a size 16/18?

[Somuchweighttolose]

And 5ft 9?
I've put on loads of weight and would feel comfy being a 16 but it's a long way off.
I'm guessing I've about 8 st to lose to be a 16. I'm disgusted with myself

I'm 5'9", a size 16 and precisely 14st 9.5lb! I am just a comfy 16. I'll be a 14 at 13st 8lb. From experience. And after a particularly frivolous eating and drinking few months, that's where I am headed back to.

I think it's supposed to be roughly a stone a dress size, OP. Not scientific but to give you an idea.

I'm five foot 1 and 11.12 stone and a size 14 on top, I have no arse and skinny legs, I put all my weight on around my waist and have huge boobs, I look like I'm pregnant at times.

16 and weigh 13st at just shy of 6'

I'm 5 foot 6, 14 stone, size 16 but do have some size 14's. At 12/13 stone I'm a 14 and 10/11 stone a 10/12, but haven't been that for a long time.

I am 5ft 7, size 16 and weigh 14st 5lb.

I have tiny boobs.

Epitome of a pear shape.

I started SW on 31 May 2016. I have lost 3.5 st from 17st 12 1/2lb and a size 24 with concerns about going to 26. I'm 5 foot 5.5 ins and now am Size 16-18. I'm currently wearing a size 16 t-shirt and it doesn't really ... flow ... over my body, and so when I look in the mirror, I think I look the same as I did when I was a size 24 but I know I can't be and so don't mind so much that calling myself a size 16 is a little generous. My lower half is an 18 still, but even that's ok for now.

My periods have come back and I have been bleeding for 30 days, so saw a dr yesterday who has recommended a hysteroscopy to check my uterus. I'm hoping my hormones will start behaving again soon and I'll go back to the 1/2-3/4 st per month I was losing last Summer and Autumn.

I'm just short of 5ft 8in, 16.5 stone and a size 18. I've just lost a stone and dropped a dress size!

I'm 5'10" and (when I'm not pregnant) am a size 16.

I usually weigh about 13 stone

At 11 stone 4lbs I was still a small-ish 14.

At my height, it tends to take longer to move between sizes as the weight is quite 'spread out'. That's my thinking anyway.

I'm a 14 at about 12-ish stone.

Weird! Maybe I am deluded. I'm just over 6ft, and 16 st 5. I need to lose weight, I know I do, but I'm a 16-18 currently. Seems that others at a similar height are much less than that at a 16. I'm pretty muscular though too; I do karate twice a week, run at least twice a week and do some other form of exercise at least once a week; HIIT or similar. I have a resting heart rate of 60 and can run continuously for over an hour. In my case it is medication that is part of the problem. I'm trying to go high protein, low carb. 70% of my problem is my medication makes me hungry; so I'm trying to use protein to fill up rather than carbs. The other problem is I eat too
much of course!!

I am liking the Joe Wicks style of eating; good, real food, low carb, high protein. 15 min workouts work well too.

I was 13 stone when I was a size 16.

I'm now 11 stone and that 2 stone makes so much difference. At 13 stone I looked fat. At 11 stone I look slim.

I am quite solid on the bottom half but I have a smaller waist and not massive boobs or arms so sometimes 14 dress is a bit tight on my hips but usually jeans are the things I go for a 16 just to be comfortable. Then they gape at the waist horribly but fit my thighs.

5'6'' here and a 16/18 I weigh 16 stone

Itsnotwhatitseems - at last I've found someone who is the same shape as me! I'm a size 14/16 on the bottom but can be a 20 on top, especially in anything tailored. My arms are like pipe Cleaners!

I'm 5'6" and about 14 stone.

It really is all down to diet. Cut down your portions and eat healthy food and you will lose weight. The thing I think is that when you decide to lose weight then think to yourself I'm going to be hungry for a fortnight. That really is the truth, you will feel really hungry for the first two weeks when you've cut down your portion sizes but it didn't seem too bad to me to know if would only be for 2 weeks. At the end of two weeks your stomach will have adjusted and you will feel full much quicker. Another really good thing to know is that you should eat slowly. It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you are full so eating slowly will let your body indicate when you've had enough to eat rather than getting that uncomfortably full feeling. Also, take your measurements (thighs, hips, waist, chest, bust, arms). Write them down and then measure each week as well as weighing yourself, I found it immensely satisfying to see my measurements going down.

A lot depends on your frame. I am a small frame and look smaller than others with a large frame at the same height and weight.

A quick and easy method is to wrap your thumb and middle finger around your wrist, just above the wrist bone. If your fingers overlap, you have a small frame. If they just meet, you have a medium frame. , if there is a gap you have a large frame.

it does seem daunting at first, but you just need to take it slowly and find out what works for you. I lost nearly 4 stone using MFP and stopping sweets, biscuits and crisps. When I started losing weight I was hungry at times but I felt like I needed to reset my appetite, I was eating too much. My portion size was too big and I ate too often. Using mfp taught me about portion sizes. I lost the weight in 5 to 6 months. I'd like to lose another 2 stone ideally.

I agree about frame size. I'm the same size as my friend but she weighs much more than me as she has a small frame. Even when I was underweight I was a size 16 on top as my shoulders and rib age are huge - she was once a size 8.

When I was a size 16 I was about 12 stone. I'm 5 ft 6 and a half!

My jeans are a size 18 but i carry badly on my tummy so major muffin top over them, wear size 18 stretch camis from primark, i'm 5'4 1/2" and 16 st 9 last time i weighed myself. Ideal for me would be a 12 but not happening anytime soon.

I'm 5.8, when I was 17.8 i was an 18/20 I'm now 14.5 and a size 14 on bottom 14/16 on top depending on what I'm wearing, really piddled off that my bust hasn't changed nor the muffin top around my middle

I'm now 5ft 7 and about 10 stone 11lb, size 12-ish, sometimes 14. When I was a size 16 I weighed about 12.5 stone, perhaps a bit more.

5ft 10
Am currently 17st7 and a size 18

Althougg from reading the measurements here maybe I've got heavy bones 😂 😂

This is so interesting!

5'4" 13.5st and 16 (touching 18). I'm aiming for a 12 currently but we'll see!

I'm 5'11" and a 16 on top (12 on bottom). I weigh 11 stone 4 pounds.

I now find it quite odd that people of around the same height as me can weigh so much more and still be a size sixteen. I do have massively broad shoulders and rib cage though, unfortunately.
