AIBU to ask that if you're 5"1 and a size 12, how much do you weigh? I'm looking for a rough idea!

149 pounds. Size 10/12 on the bottom but 12/14/16 depending on the fit over my boobs on top. My bmi calculator reckons I should be a maximum of 134 pounds.

I'm 5"2 and weigh 10st 4lbs.

Yahdayah · 13/02/2018 10:21

I’m 5ft 2, I’ve just had a baby and am 10 stone 7lb right now and probably a 12 / 14.

I am 5'2 and 9 stone. i am a 8/10/12 on top depending in the style/store /fit to get them over my boobs and 6/8 on bottom.

BrickInTheWall · 13/02/2018 10:24

I'm 5"2 and weigh 12 and a half stone. I think that's just under 180pounds. I'm a size 12/14 on bottom, 14/16 on top depending on shop. I'm definitely overweight though.. I'm part way through losing weight.. lost 1 and a half stone, want to lose another 3.5stone.

Red2017 · 13/02/2018 10:27

I am 5ft2 but pretend I am 5ft 3 so don't feel I can truthfully answer your question.

BurningStar · 13/02/2018 10:37

Thanks all. I'm currently a size 16 and 11 stone 12. Really don't want to be that on my wedding day in 6 months! Being so short doesn't help Haha!

I’m 5’2” and currently weigh 11 stones, I had a baby 3 weeks ago. I am probably around a size 12/14 now. My pre pregnancy weight is around 9 stone and a size 10. I always plan to get to 8.5 stone but 9 is comfortable for me and gives me a bmi of around 23 I believe.

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 13/02/2018 11:00

10.5 size 12 a few more pounds off and I'm a size 10.

babybobobear · 13/02/2018 11:22

doctorboo · 13/02/2018 12:23

5'1", 154lbs and a size 14. 12 of it's a generous cut.

NewSingleMummy · 13/02/2018 12:25

I'm 5ft 2.5in and weigh 9st 2lbs. Dress size 10/12 depending on where I shop.

n0ne · 13/02/2018 12:31

I'm 5'3" and a size 12. Currently weigh 65kg which is 10st 3lb

MatildaTheCat · 13/02/2018 12:31

I am 5’2”, 5’3 if I really, really stretch Grin.

Shape is a massive issue here. I am an apple. I weigh 8stone 5 and wear size 10 on the bottom ( sometimes an 8 depending on the shop sizing). I wear a 10/12 on top because I’m quite busty. I have slim legs. All weight gathers on my torso.

My friend is a pear and weighs more than a stone heavier. She wears a neat 10 on top and has a small waist but has hips, bottom and thighs. I think her shape is easier to dress and she could look slimmer than me despite being significantly heavier.

When I gain weight I start looking ‘sturdy’ very quickly.

DisabledUserName · 13/02/2018 12:32

I'm 5,2 and size 12.
I weigh 62kg currently. Have been 68kg and ideal for me is 58kg.

Birdsgottafly · 13/02/2018 12:33

I'm just over 5'2". A couple of years ago I lost five stone, starting in Feb, I was around 10 stone, size 12 (in true size) by September. I reached my goal in October.

I calorie counted, ate really healthy, with treats only every two weeks, always exercised off.

I weight trained. I was 48, it was an only Female gym. All of the Women were 40+ and we all got the body shape that we wanted by using weights within months.

DecemberCat · 13/02/2018 12:40

59kg and a size 10 or12 depending where I shop.

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 13/02/2018 12:44

5 foot 1, 53 kg (give or take a kilo either side), size 10. Sometimes 8 in tops.

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 13/02/2018 12:45

(Rather enjoying the combo of my username with that post!)

IAmAMonster · 13/02/2018 12:46

I am 5ft 3 and and a size 14. I weigh about 11st 4, so high BMI, verging into obese territory ! Didnt think a size 14 was THAT fat! I am just too shortShock

Oblomov18 · 13/02/2018 12:53

I am this height, maybe a tiny bit smaller, and I was a size 12 from age 12-30, and I was 9 stone.

T2517 · 13/02/2018 12:55

Everyone’s different, I’m 5”2 and a half, weigh 13 stone and I’m a 14/16. Please don’t worry too much about numbers on the scale
