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

5'9" 16 1/2 stone and 18 bottom 14/16 top. I carry all my weight on my arse and thighs :( between 13 and 16 stone I still wear size 16 on the bottom.

5' 11" here and a 16/18. Pushing 14 stone - heaviest I've ever been. In my twenties I was a 12/14 and 10.5/11 stone.

The last few years I've kept my weight at 13-13.5 stone and have been a 16. But my weight has suddenly started creeping up and I don't seem able to shift even a pound or two 🙁

5'5", 75kg (11st 11lbs) and a size 14. 32HH breastfeeding boobs don't help. Was a 10-12 before I got pregnant and being a total postpartum sugar fiend hasn't helped. I'm training for the London Marathon though, ran 24km today as my long run.

I am 5'7" and was a size 16-18 when I was between 14 stone and 18 stone. It was only when I dropped below 14 stone that I got into smaller clothes. Under 13 for size 12-14 and under 12 stone for 10-14. Not sure I will ever get my butt to fit in anything lower than a size 14.

I'm 5ft 6 and weigh around 14st 7lbs and I'm in a 18 just in some clothes but wear 20 to be comfy.

bodies are strange! I'm currently a 14-16 on top, 16-18 on the bottom, but i carry most of my weight on my thighs and bum and have a smaller waist, which makes buying trousers an exercise in futility. I tend to make a lot of my own clothes and adjust commercially bought clothes now and it has done wonders for my self confidence wearing clothes that fit ME, not a set of measurements. I weigh 15st-ish. My lowest adult weight was 9st 11lb - achieved via excessive exercise and a borderline eating disorder - and I was still a size 12 in jeans even though i was an 8 on top! I've tried to stop focussing on weight and just try to eat well and exercise. Good luck to you OP!

Some people are deluded about dress size. My friend insists she's a size 10 but she's a size 16. She just buys stretchy clothes and stretches into them

Is that suggesting we are all deluded about our own dress sizes

5'9" and 15 stone. In between 16 and 18 at the mo. When I was 13 stone before I was size 14.

I am 5'10. I have been dieting this year. I started at 14.3 and was a 16. Now 13.0 and mostly a 14 but not in everything yet (old designer clothes are still too tight).I guess I have to lose another 10lbs before I fit into my everything and by that time I will probably be fitting into a12 in some of the high street shops.

13st 12 as of today. And I think I need 4st minimum

How come all of you are so tall? I thought I was normal sized at 5ft 4". But almost all of the posts are taller.

13st at size 16

Definitely not deluded here and currently trying to get into size 8. Weight really is irrelevant as muscle weighs more than fat.

Should have said 5ft 7 tall, normally a 16 except in gaelic where I'm a 16/18

I'm 5 ft 9 and a bit. 2 years ago I was a size 26/28 and 21 and a half stone. I joined Slimming World completely by accident (and peer pressure!) and 18 months later I had lost 6st 3lbs taking me down to just under 15 and a half stone and a size 16 in most places. Even began to buy 14s! Aimed to lose another half a stone and I would be happy.

Unfortunately, I had 3 miscarriages in a year and my loss slowed down due to ill health but I maintained a size 16/18 at 16stone until I became pregnant again in September. I'm now 28 weeks pregnant and a size 18 and an occasional 20 through stress eating. No idea what I weigh- Im not to bothered at the moment- but will rejoin SW the moment DD arrives.

OP come and join this lovely and supportive thread. 😊 Someone added the combined weigh loss so far since Christmas and it was over 250lb as of last week. I have lost 35lbs since start of January.

To answer your question I am 5'7 now just under 18 stone and size 20. For me it's around 2 stone per dress size. Last time I was 16 stone I was 16/18. That was a long time ago. Aiming to be there by September.

I'm 5ft 2" and 12st 5lbs and a size 16. Can squeeze into a 14 as long as I don't need to sit down or breathe....

5"4, 12.5 stone. I'm a 14 in some clothes, a 16-18 in others. It depends on the style. I have slim legs & arms, but have big boobs and an apron of fat below my stomach. I also carry a lot of fat & bloating around my middle.

I'm 5'8" and 11 stone 6lbs, and I'm a 14 in most things, a 16 in some skirts (14 in jeans) and very occasionally a 12 in tops depending on size.

At my heaviest I was 12 stone 10lbs and a definite 16 - in fact the spur to start losing weight was trying on a size 16 dress and it was too tight.

Reading the thread the majority of people who are around my height and 14/16 are heavier, in some cases by a couple of stones, so why aren't I a smaller dress size than I am???

a 12 in tops depending on style*

I never understand how any of this works. I'm 5'7", 11.5 stone and a sz14/16. I am a solid 16 at 12 stone and a 14 at about 10.7. I need to be about 9.5 stone to be a comfortable 12.

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.

Huh. I never knew this! My fingers overlap by...loads, even though I'm nearly 6 foot tall. My fingers meet around my ankles.

This is why it irritates me when people say ooh, you're so lucky being tall, tall people can carry weight so well. They really can't if they're not big-boned! I have tiny wrists and ankles, I look like an anteater if I put on much fat.

I'm probably the shortest on the thread so far. I'm 5'1 and weigh just a couple of pounds or so over 11 stones and I'm a size 16 top with a 14 arse.

5ft 8 size 16/18 depending...can sometimes do a 14 top with some stretch for boobs... I weight 15st 7

This thread really shows that there is no set size for a set weight and height, really interesting.

I'm 5'7" and weigh 11 stone, but I'm usually a size 14, twelves are too tight. At my heaviest I weighed 13 stone and was a size 16, occasionally 18. At my slimmest I was under 9 stone and a 10, but sometimes a 12.
I'm not particularly flabby, but certainly could be more toned, and my bmi is ok.
I love the saying 'scales are for fish' and don't weigh myself too often, I think clothes vary sizewise so much from store to store.

I have an old pair of favourite jeans, and if they look ok, I feel ok.
