Shameless copying, I tell you, shameless ! I'll go first : size 10, 137lbs.

Your turn.

9st 3lbs. Size 10-12 depending on ship. My hips have widened these last few years, I used to be the same weight and a size 6-8 on the bottom but I’m now definitely a 12.

KonaMum · 30/12/2018 14:50

5’5 62kg (9st 10), usually an 8-10. I’m fairly muscular and toned so lol lighter than I am I think. (Maybe I’m just deluded? 😬)

MustBeThin · 30/12/2018 14:51

10st 4. Size 8-10 on top 10-12 bottom.

sizzledrizz · 30/12/2018 14:51

I'm 9st 7. And size 6/8 depending on the item. I have broad shoulders. And giant thighs 😡

BucketLid · 30/12/2018 14:51

Size 12-14, 148 lbs

animallikeyou · 30/12/2018 14:54

I’m a bit out of shape at the moment so I’m 10stone 13lb, 5’5” and a size 12.

I'm 5'5" and weigh 13stone 7 size 17 as 16 too tight and 18 baggy!!! It's all hips, belly and legs so dresses are difficult! Still it's the lightest I have been in years despite a three month old

BitchQueen90 · 30/12/2018 15:04

5'4 and 160lbs. About 11 stone. Size 10-12. I want to lose about 30lbs.

Lomondstripe · 30/12/2018 15:07

137 lb at present but usually hover around 140lb so ten stone. More after a holiday or on period. Size 12 top (broad rib cage and shoulders) and a 8/10 on bottom. Looking to lose half a stone or so for wedding.

Mainchanger · 30/12/2018 15:10

I'm 5"5. This time two years ago I was 15 stone. Over 18 months I lost 6stone taking me to my target of 9stone. Ive maintained it for the last 6 months, have put on half a stone over this Christmas but I'm ok with that- I've eaten and drank everything I've wanted to and had a bloody good time! I know it'll go again in January. So right now - 5"5 and 9 stone 7.

Mainchanger · 30/12/2018 15:11

Forgot dress size. 8-10.

Whatsforu · 30/12/2018 15:15

5ft 5 vary between 11 7 and 12st. Size 10 bottom, 12 top, very weird. As a pp said vanity sizing. I run most days and am reasonably fit my weight is weird.

DameDoom · 30/12/2018 15:15

I am 5'6 and look my best around 9 stone 10 to 10 stone. Am in my second flare of newly diagnosed Crohns and am 8 stone 7. Look terrible for my build and even my leggings are hanging off me. Rather bloody fed up.

GabrielKnight · 30/12/2018 15:16

5'5. 14 Stone 8 pounds. And a size 16

Sitranced · 30/12/2018 15:16

5ft4 and a half. 12st 4. 14 usually fits but I prefer to buy size 16 to feel comfortable.

44PumpLane · 30/12/2018 15:19

5'5" 11 stone 6lb
Currently size 12-14

Usually 10 stone 7lb ISH and size 10-12

Would like to get back to 9.5-10 stone and a size 10 but it's been a few years since I've been that weight/size.

To be fair I eat terribly and do no exercise and make every excuse under the sun as to why I'm too busy/tired to do anything about it. I'm trying to address that asap!

Nottoberudebut · 30/12/2018 15:25

I’ve recently hit a new high of 13st. My size 14 clothes are now hurting me so I guess I am a size 16 now. God I have a long journey ahead.

Newtonthehorizon · 30/12/2018 15:25

5'5.5" and 13 st 5lb size 14 bottom and 16 top (huge rack) but am planning on not being this size much longer

ChristmasFluff · 30/12/2018 15:34

5ft 5, weight 10st 3lb

Bust 38", waist 30" hips 36" - bottoms usually an 8-10, top 14. When I am 9st 7lbs I am a size 6 bottoms - but my 1980s size 12s (when I was 8st 7) still don't pull up over my knees - yup vanity sizing is real.

sheldonstwin · 30/12/2018 15:35

And here we are again - and as usual I may weigh less than some others on this thread, but I am significantly wider.
Me: 5.5
weight 9stones 10
size 14

AornisHades · 30/12/2018 15:38

I think I'm 10 stone but it could be a bit less. Somewhere between a 12 and a 14.

sugarplumfairy2010 · 30/12/2018 15:39

I'm just under 5ft 5 I'm currently 8st 9lb size 8-10. I haven't been this size since before my 1st child 8 yrs ago but now I'm a busy mum of three.x

camelfinger · 30/12/2018 15:40

72kg. 12 top, 14 bottom. Ok top half but thighs are massive. Would be happy at 62kg.

Dimsumlosesum · 30/12/2018 15:41

This is really depressing
