How talk are you and what do it weigh?

Trying to work out my target weight.

I know the range according to BMI but I'm too fat to visualise what say 9 stone looks like.

I'm a size 20, I was happiest in myself as a size 14 but never weighed myself back then.

I'm 5 ft 4.5 so trying to guesstimate what weight I'd be as a comfortable 14

How tall are you and what do you weigh

I think there is an online visualiser for this. I think there's a link to it over on the weight boards in possibly the 5:2 thread?

garethsouthgatesmrs · 29/08/2018 00:18

I am much taller but have a friend who is 5ft3 and weighs about 11 stone (so still slightly overweight I think) she is a 14.

Mumof1andacat · 29/08/2018 00:19

I'm 5ft. To be a uk 14 comfortably it's about 10st to 10st 7lbs for me.

PickAChew · 29/08/2018 00:20

I'm 5'4 and currently a little overweight at 10 stone 13.

NonJeNeRegretteRien · 29/08/2018 00:22

5’5 and a U.K. 14 when between about 11st to 13st (the upper end it’s just in clothes with stretch!!!)

Fuzzywig · 29/08/2018 00:24

I’d say 11 to 11.5 stone

QOD · 29/08/2018 00:25

5 ft 1 and size 14 both top and bottom yet 14 1/2 stone
I’m a solid lump

SleepingStandingUp · 29/08/2018 00:30

Ooh I'll have a look for the visualiser.
OK so I was thinking about 10 stone so not too far off, that would give me a decent BMI too. I'm big boned (yeah yeah not an excuse to be fat etc) but genuinely even when I was slim I couldn't wear standard anklets and bracelets etc, I was quite boney at 10/12 so like QOD I'm quite dense so maybe more like 11 or 12 would be low enough

I'm about 11.5 stone but 5 ft 8, according to the NHS height and weight chart I'm within healthy weight (just!) but I'd like to lose 1/1.5 stone.

POPholditdown · 29/08/2018 00:33

I’m 5ft1 and 12.5 stone. 14 fits me comfortably.

onlyk · 29/08/2018 00:33

I’m 5”4.5 and about 11 stone currently depending on cut etc between size 12/14 on top & 10/12 on bottom. I’m apple shape with it, so for a size 14 i’d say 11+ stone.

ColinsVeryJolly · 29/08/2018 00:37

I’m 5’3 and a size 14. I weigh about 12stone.

MrsEricBana · 29/08/2018 00:38

It must depend on shape as I'm 5'4", weigh just over 9.5 stone and am 12/14 depending on the garment. When I was 10 stone I was def size 14.

MrsEricBana · 29/08/2018 00:38

But I am apple shape.

cakedup · 29/08/2018 00:42

I am 11.3 stone, very comfortably 14 and 5'5". Apple shape. Think I'm quite big boned too.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 29/08/2018 00:43

I'm the same height as you up and take a size 14 if I'm about 11 stone. I'm currently 10.5 stone and a size 12 in most things although have very broad shoulders so occasionally a 14 in shirts with no stretch. At 10 stone I am definitely a 12 and occasionally a 10 in trousers.

fattyboomboomboom · 29/08/2018 00:44

Are you an apple or pear? I'm an apple and 5'4". I'm also solid with big feet and 11 stone is a 12/14 on bottom and 16 on top for me.

drigon · 29/08/2018 00:45

Yes, I'm exactly the same height as you, with a medium build, pear shape and now a size 20. I was a size 14 at 10.5 to 11.5 stone, many years ago!

Aswad · 29/08/2018 00:49

Sometimes depends on the shop? I'm 10.6 stones and 5ft 10. Will never find trousers in Zara that'll EVER fit me but can squeeze into a 12 on a good day in topshop (must be stretchy though)

Pimmsypimms · 29/08/2018 00:49

I’m a size 14, 5ft 6 and weigh 12 stone. Pear shaped so 14 in jeans/trousers and 12 on top.

SleepingStandingUp · 29/08/2018 00:50

I'm a perfect albeit fat hourglass, boobs and hips always match. Currently about 49 inch hips / chest and size 6.5 feer

SleepingStandingUp · 29/08/2018 00:51

Catra · 29/08/2018 01:01

I'm exactly the same height as you OP and fit a size 14 when I'm between 11st and 12st 7.

I like this visualiser because you can enter your body shape.
