137lbs is 9st 11lbs in old money surely?

constantlyseekinghappiness · 30/12/2018 13:51

OP said 9.8, not 9 stone 8

TiddleTaddleTat · 30/12/2018 13:51

55kg, about 8 and a half stone I think? Clothes size 6-10 depending on the extent of the shop's vanity sizing...

Mammyloveswine · 30/12/2018 13:59

5 foot 5 and currently more of a 12... 10 stone 8.. my fighting weight is 9 stone 12 and then I'm an 8-10. I have a small waist and carry weight on my thighs and bottom so can get away with half a stone but I've just eaten crap for the past month.

Back to slimming world Thursday but back on plan today. Hubby done a big shop and got lots of lean meat, fresh veg and salads.

OublietteBravo · 30/12/2018 14:01

I’m currently 8 stone 11 and usually a size 8 (but can be a 6 or a 10 depending on the shop).

CharleyFarleyy · 30/12/2018 14:01

5 foot 3 inches currently 9.8 stone as well, hoping to lose a stone and half eventually

CharleyFarleyy · 30/12/2018 14:02

Forgot to add, I'm currently a size 12

Apileofballyhoo · 30/12/2018 14:03

I'm probably not fully 5'5 but I think I'm about 60kg. Size 10 roughly but 8 in tops and sometimes in dresses and skirts as I'm pear shaped. I tend towards buying 10 in tops as a looser fitting top makes me look more balanced. I look better a bit lighter as my top half stays at 8 - that's my frame - and if my bottom half is 8 too then I match. I've been known to be 8 and 12 and I think I even crept up to nearly a 14 at one stage. That was not good!

RosemarysBush · 30/12/2018 14:04

55kg size 10-12

MyBreadIsEggy · 30/12/2018 14:05

I’m very nearly 5’5” (half an inch shy).
I’m 115lbs, 52kg or 8 stone 2lbs - whichever system you prefer!
I wear a size 8 mostly - depending on where I shop! Sometimes can get away with a 6, sometimes need a 10.

PenApple · 30/12/2018 14:06

I’m just over 5ft 4, when I was 8st I was a size 8 - now I’m a shocking 11st 5oz I’m only a 12 which I find strange.

Ideal weight/size would be 9st size 10.

DM is the same height & weight as me but wears size 14-16.

Raver84 · 30/12/2018 14:06

I'm 5ft 5 and weigh 9stone and 7lbs. Wear a size 10 sometime 12

Apileofballyhoo · 30/12/2018 14:08

On vanity sizing - I have a skirt from 20 years ago that's a 12 and is quite a tight fit on the waist. I'm currently wearing a pair of waist 26 jeans from GAP - never ever did I fit into a waist 26 - 27 at my thinnest. A pair of 10 year old size 8 jeans I have from GAP won't go anywhere near me now. I'm sure I could think of other examples too!

NotMyCircusMonkeys · 30/12/2018 14:11

5ft 5, 9 stone exactly, size 6-8.

charis · 30/12/2018 14:13

Five four and a half Grin Eight stone, was just under seven. I've clothes ranging from 8-14 but I like a big fit / baggy. Dresses are problematic because I have norkage so my top and bottom sizes are different.

And I'll take this opportunity to rant about pockets being a feminist issue and how happy I am that my Joules dress has them Xmas Hmm

PerfectlyImperfectx · 30/12/2018 14:23

I’m 5’5 - closer to 5’4.5. I’m a size 10 always. Occasionally an 8 in looser things. I weigh 65kg so 10st 2 Shock I was shocked when I was weighed at the hospital last week. However to look at me you’d think I’m slim. I’m a typical apple shape if I’m honest with myself, slim legs, medium boobs and tendency to put weight on my stomach. Decent waist. So wish I was a pear!

DontGoIntoTheLongGrass · 30/12/2018 14:30

5,5, 10 stone, size 10 bottoms 12 top most places.

Need to lose a stone at least as I carry the weight on my waist and arse. Not really a cake shelf but a cake larder 🍰

Huntawaymama · 30/12/2018 14:39

5ft5 10 stone on the dot and a 12. I commented on the earlier post to. I'm probably a 10 on top but haven't bought new clothes I'm ages

underneaththeash · 30/12/2018 14:41

I'm 5'4" 9st and a size 10.

DannyWallace · 30/12/2018 14:44

I'm between 5 foot 4 and 5 foot 5.
When I'm at my slimmest I am around 10 stone and a size 10. I always have a bit of a tummy though.
Currently 30 weeks pregnant with DC1 and would prefer not to disclose current weight Confused

DannyWallace · 30/12/2018 14:45

Just to say also I am quite active so seem to carry a fair amount of muscle. I'm very apple shaped too so have quite skinny legs

DappledThings · 30/12/2018 14:46

5' 4". Not sure of weight, probably around 80kg and size 14. Still a good 10kg overweight after DC2 even though she turned 1 a week ago Blush

FuzzyShadowChatter · 30/12/2018 14:47

I'm 5'5" and currently 9 stone 8.

I'd say 12 is the most likely size. I have clothes ranging from size 10 to 14, depending on the store, though I do prefer loose clothes and my weight has fluctuated a lot from below 8 stone to a touch over 11 which has affected my clothes a lot less than I thought it would.

IHaveNC · 30/12/2018 14:49

5ft 4, 12 stone 4 and size 14 though I wish I was 9 stone
