To ask if you're a UK size 14...

[SleepingStandingUp]

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

I’m 5ft and I am 11st and fit a size 14 although I find it’s a snug fit.

5ft 8 and weigh 13st

I’m 5ft 4.5. I am also currently a size 20. A size 14 for me is about 8stone. But then I have huge boobs and very wide hips. (Great for birth, not so good for clothes!) my physical skeleton is wider than is typical and my hips/breastbone are slightly larger than normal too.

5'10" and 12 stone. At 11.5 I can fit some 12s. Depends on shops/brands.

I honestly think it's unhealthy from SW to do weight rather than measurements. This threat is a prime example of how it waries from person to person.
Once I put on from size 12 to 16. 20kg. Lost back to size 12 but lost only 10kg! 😂

I am short but even when I weigh 8 stone my hips and bust still measure at 39 inches, so a size 14 depending on tailoring. I always think the Williams sister (tennis) are the example that body shape is as important as height in determining weight and health.

I am 5 3 and weigh between 10 1/2 and 11 stone. Large 12 (especially top half as have a small torso and waist) or small 14 around lower abdomen and ginormous thighs.

Am hourglass/pear shaped

5 foot 4 and 11 stone but I've had an injury which has meant I can't exercise and so 10 to 10.5 stone is my usual weight and is a comfortable size 14.

The wii fit always said my target weight was 9 stone 3 but I haven't been that since I was a teen. About 10 is as low as I comfortably get and I wish I was there now!

Oh and muscle weighs more than fat so as others have said, weight on its own means little.

sleeping These are our 3D body visualisers from the 5:2 threads:

Choose / Visualise Goal Weight:
3D BMII* body variations ripped to normal
Bod Viss* Measurements & 3D rotate

oops
3D BMI body ripped to normal

I'm tallish, typically about 10st as a size 10. past experience tells me you're probably talking about an extra stone per dress size... so 11st for 12, 12st for 14, that sort of thing.

I'm 5ft 6 and 11stone size 14 would like to lose another stone but have lost 5 and half stone so pleased with myself but was aiming for size 14 but would like to be a 12 now

I'm 5'6. When I was a size 14 I was 12st4 or thereabouts. Which is about a stone overweight.

Muscle does not weigh more than fat! It does though take up less room because it's more compact think jelly compared to cheese for example and how the same weight take up far different amount of room.

Sorry I know I'm being annoying but I think that statement can really get in people's head.

I'm 5ft 4, 12 stone and a size 14

To add to my first post

I measured myself at 11s 3lbs for a dress I was getting and have found the note this morning so thought I'd add it.

34-32-38

Like I said sleeping I'm taller than you 5'7.5" so might not be helpful.

I'm 5'3" and anywhere up to 12 stone I fit into a 14. But I'm currently 2 stone lighter than this (thank you, breastfeeding!)

@Ginkypig because muscle is more dense it shows differently to fat. So if you have pound of muscle and pound of fat, the muscle is smaller than the lump of fat.
Technically yeah. It's wrong to say muscle weights more than fat, but it's kind of an easiest way to explain without going into volume and weight calculations.
So basically if you count bodybuilder's BMI tables will tell you they are obese yet they are not, but that's where common sense must prevail.
Honestly think that SW should measure rather than weight people.

Ye I know that often and it looks like we're saying the same thing in different ways.

My issue with saying it weighs more is that a lot of people (that Iv talked to) don't seem to make the distinction and it causes them problems because they do say a bit of light walking but then tell themselves that it must be muscle when they don't lose weight and complain that they are trying so hard but nothing's changing. It's one more "untruth" that confuses people.

To be honest what others believe is not any of my business so I don't know why I'm bothering to comment on it as long as I know the difference that's all that matters really!

@Ginkypig I get what you mean.
The saying should probably change to make it clearer.

I'm 5'2" and am usually able to fit into a size 14 when I'm about 11st. I've been bigger (am currently) and smaller. But this is usually the size I can maintain relatively easily.

This is so interesting. It's fascinating how women's bodies differ so much even at the same size. I don't think there's as much variation in men's body shapes.

Sorry if I'm coming across as argumentative

I don't even care that much!
