5ft 5 and 8 stone 2. Usually a 6 but sometimes an 8 depending on the shop.

mortgagemortality · 30/12/2018 15:46

5ft 5.5, 19st 2lbs and a size 22.

Carry it all in my bum and thighs.

Lowest adult weight was 15st and I was a size 14/16.

Smellyrose · 30/12/2018 15:47

I’m the same as camelfinger, 72kg 14 on bottom 12 on top.

My aim for then end of this year is 60kg - was that weight a few years ago but my 40s and laziness have piled on the kgs sobit’s Exercise and healthy eating for me this year!

5' 3. 9 stone 2lb. Size 8. Wish I was a couple of inches taller...

Dogsmellssobadbob · 30/12/2018 15:48

5ft5 and a teeny bit
8 stone 12

Size 10-12
Am quite muscly in legs as run and do a lot of strength training
Am a classic brick shape- no waist at all and a solid chest wall, arse and upper thighs, skinny limbs other than top of thighs, no boobs.
I’m 30” waist size in jeans and even they are snug.
Really struggle with anything tight fitting in the rib cage or waist as they never do up and look awful.

It’s a crap shape to be as losing weight doesn’t change it and even when slim I look big. It’s a really hard shape to dress well I think.

whiskeysourpuss · 30/12/2018 15:50

Just weighed myself & I'm 12 & a half stone... size 16... thankfully my weight is evenly distributed so don't really stress out about any particular area.

The BMI calculator says I should be between 7st 10lbs & 10st 6lbs... but I've been 10st and I felt that I looked awful - all drawn in face & pointy elbows so if I can get down to 11st by the summer I'll be happy with that.

Stillwishihadabs · 30/12/2018 15:50

5"5' and 59kg or 9st 7 before Christmas size 10 (occasionally an 8). Would like to be 9st 2

nervousFTM · 30/12/2018 15:59

5'5" and 9st 6 at last weigh in - but am 3 months post partum (1st baby) and breastfeeding which I think for me, sadly, means the weight isn't coming off (okay okay it's the chocolate). Was 8st for my wedding and my usual weight 8st 7 but feel happiest at 8st 2-5lbs. Hoping I'll get back to that one day!

Bigonesmallone3 · 30/12/2018 16:05

saturdaynightgin · 30/12/2018 16:07

Just over 5ft 4in. Weigh 12 and a half stone, size 12 top, 14 bottom

Cheekysquirrel · 30/12/2018 16:08

Just over 5ft 5 and 7st 12lbs. Still not toned though so stomach and legs look big. Usually a 6-8 but that’s really a 10-12 nowadays!!

5’4.5” and 10 stone. How can I be a large 12/14?? It’s mostly the boobs and waist I guess...

BalloonSlayer · 30/12/2018 16:30

Am 9 stone 7 and a size 12 top and bottom.

I have skinny arms and legs which explains why I am a pound lighter than you, OP, but a size larger.

Lomondstripe · 30/12/2018 16:33

People are just built differently - I was recently in hospital and the girl next to me looked to be very fit, muscly and solid and during our conversation it transpired that she did indeed live a very active outdoorsy life. Due to the muscle, her BMI put her into the overweight category and she had to undertake extra precautions to avoid a DVT. She was quite clearly fitter than me and the doctor acknowledged it was ridiculous.

EmUntitled · 30/12/2018 16:37

I'm 5'6 and 75kg (about 11st 11).
Quite a lot of that is boob as I'm a 40E

I am around a size 14.

ISeeARainbow · 30/12/2018 16:38

7 1/2 stone (around 46kgs). Size 6

Mulberry72 · 30/12/2018 16:39

5ft 5, 8st 1lb, size 8-10 (sometimes 6, depends on the clothing)

JustKeepSwimmingJustKeepSwimmi · 30/12/2018 16:40

Wow Mainchanger. I want to lose a similar amount. Youve lost so much and kept it off!! Any pearls of wisdom?!

MrsCar · 30/12/2018 16:40

9stone 6 now after Christmas, but I plan to get back down to 9 stone.

I can be an 8, a 10, 12, or medium, depending on the store Confused

Cassiopeia13 · 30/12/2018 16:45

9 stone 7 and a size 8, although if you'd asked at the start of the year would have been 12 and a half stone and a size 12/14

Thisonewilldo · 30/12/2018 16:46

9st 1lb and an 8 or 10 depending where I shop. Ths is the heaviest I've ever been when not pregnant and I want to be 8st 7lb by summer.

Doobigetta · 30/12/2018 16:58

Probably between 9 and a half and 9 stone 10, I don’t weigh myself very often. Generally 10 on top and 12 on the bottom, although it varies a bit between shops.
