I've seen loads of threads on here lately with people questioning how people can be a certain dress size at a certain weight.

I'm really interested to se how much it can vary from person to person and if people who are the same weight and height could be completely different dress sizes as I suppose muscle mass is a factor too.

Anyway, I'm rambling.

I'll start it off:

Height: 5ft 4.5
Weight: 8 stone 12 lbs
Dress Size: 10

@bananafish

Is every thread supposed to be a representative sample of the national population

No, who said that??

I'm just saying compared to the National average (mean), MN seem a slim lot.

It'd be interesting seeing how 'happy' people are with their stats.

9/10 = very happy with size
3/10 = unhappy

etc

I doubt there would be any correlation between size and happiness.

PutThatPomBearBack · 30/06/2017 10:14

Neutrogena I think slim people are more likely to comment on this thread that those above the average, I could be wrong though!

I find the responses from my fellow tall MNers fascinating.

I am 5'11, 13 stone 6 and a size 16.

Another poster is 2 stones heavier than me and a size 14! (when I was approaching that weight, post pregnancy, a size 18 was tight)

To be a size 14 in todays money I have to be 12 stone or under (haven't managed it in years, and am generally happy with the way I look at around 13 stone).

When I was last a size 14 sizes were VERY different, and I was 11 stone.

However I have lost almost 2 stone and at 11 stone I was a size 14! I could possibly get into an 8 now if it wasn't for the CS overhang.

Size 10

Reasonably happy. I don't mind my childbearing hips but I could do with losing a bit of bum wobble. I'm quite bony up top and have a 30E bust so clothes often don't fit as I'm not a normal shape!

Have been a size 6 at 8 stone 12 and didn't look very well. Feel most comfortable around 10.5-11 stone but currently struggling to lose baby weight and am the heaviest I've ever been. Not unhappy at all though.

Pre-pregnancy I was:
5ft 6
11st 4 ish (I don't own a set of scales)
Size 12

After baby is born I would like to get below the 10st mark, I won't really be monitoring by weight though, just going by how I look/feel.

I'm bigger than I'd like to be or usually am at the mo. I like to be about 58 kilos and size 10, which is my normal.

blackteasplease · 30/06/2017 11:01

Just checked and it's 9.9 stone. I don't know if that means 9.9 as a decimal or 9 stone 9 pounds.
