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 5'8" and about 14.5 stone

5' 6", 11 stone, size 16.

I think it’s all relative to your body shape/ how much muscle you carry. I’m 5’9 and I was a size 14-16 at 13 stone. I lost weight and went down to a size 10 at 10 and a half stone.

I hit the gym heavy, attend 5 times a week and lift very heavy weights now and my whole body shape has completely changed. I am a size 8-10 at 11 and a half stone now. Apart from jeans as I can’t find any to fit because I have huge thighs.

5'7", when I was 14 and a half stone I was in a size 18, 13 and a half sixteen, 12 and a half now a 14, start squeezing into a 12 around 12 stone but comfortably at 11 and a half.

Good plan to join myfitnesspal OP. I found it really helped- not just with working out calorie intake and calories burned but I liked reading the forums which have lots of ‘before and after’ photos of real people and people sharing and celebrating small victories they have achieved.

Also once you have worked out how many calories you need to eat a day I used eat most of it in meals and planned snacks but save 100-200 cals so that in the evening I could have a treat (small wine, couple of chocolates- that sort of thing).

One thing I will say is that you need to prepare to feel very hungry for a few days! Stick with it for a week and you’ll find your body starting to feel full with much less food than before. The hungry feeling doesn’t last forever.

I'm a size 14 now (5 ft 4) and am 11 stone 3 pounds. I am around 13 stone at a size 16 to 18.

@highinthesky

pho3be your weight / size ratio is a complete puzzle to me! How are you size 10 at 11st and size 18 at 18 st?!

Yes this is very odd🤷....I’m same height...5ft 6.....I weight 8.5st and I’m a size 8 to 10 depending on the fit..... maybe 11st is a typo??

@pho3be

Im 5'6" when i was size 18 i was 18 stone!! At 11stone Im size 10. I don't understand that

Is your weight a typo?

ZOMBIE ZOMBIE ZOMBIE

I'm 12st 5lb and a size 16 but I am significantly shorter @ 5ft 4.

I can still get into size 12 stuff if it's stretchy, which is how I managed to be in complete denial about my weight gain and thyroid problem all throughout lockdown. I have since invested in a bathroom scale!

Im 5ft 9 size 16/ 18 and weigh 13 and a half stone.

I'm 5'8, size 16 below (size 12 top) and I weigh around 14.5 stone. I've got biiig legs.

5ft 4 - was a big 12 probably heading towards 14 at 12stone last year. Currently 10st 12 and a big size 10/small 12 now. It varies so massively person to person I don’t think weight and clothes size alone is an accurate indicator

I am 5ft 11, size 14 and I think I weigh around 15st, maybe more. I have been told at the gym I go to, that I weigh heavy, in that there are people who look bigger than me but weigh less. Not sure of that's a good thing or not! It is so subjective though, I'm sure they used to do something like this on 'How to look good naked'!

I’m 5’8, weigh 14.6st and am 16-18. I go down one dress size per stone lost if that helps

I'm 5'5 - and 13 stone 10. Currently a 14-16.

Was 15 stone 6 weeks ago and the task to lose 5 stone seemed insurmountable, but bit by bit as the weight starts to go down, you start to feel better about yourself and each notch on the belt is a reason for celebration!

Slow and steady. It'll be Christmas again before we know it :)

I'm 5'6 and 13 stone and a big size 16. (Actually I'm 31 weeks pregnant right now and have no idea what I weigh, but this was at the start of my pregnancy).

I was around 11 stone until I had my first baby and lockdown happened, and was a 14 then or even a 12 in some clothes.

It does depend on the clothes and the brand. I'm an apple shape and with things that are fitted around the waist I have to err on the big size. I don't have much of a bum so size down with some trousers.

I’m quite shocked by some of these responses as I weigh around 16st and I’m 5’6 and I’m a size 16/18. I must weigh differently!

I'm 5'8", 14 stone and a size 16-18.

15 stone and a size 16 and 5ft 7. But I'm active I run and do weights etc so carry it differently maybe. But I really need to lose a few stone.

5 ft 3 and 10 pounds 11. I'm a size fourteen. I was a size 16 at 11 stone 4

5'10", size 16, 13 stone 10

Massive boobs and broad shoulders and a bit of a c section tummy. I can wear 14s in certain things.

5'10. Was 13 for ages but now crept up to 14, finding it very hard to shift :(
