I'm just curious (nosey).
My starting weight in August was 10st 11, I am now 9st 9 and back in size 10.
But I feel like I still have a long way to go! Trying to figure out what's the average kind of weight for this height....

8 stone 7pounds. I was 7.7 pre kids...

DONTPICKTHEMILKSPOTS · 25/01/2019 20:17

I’m 10st 11 and wear size 10 clothes.

I can't see how this is possible.
I didn't get into size 10 until I was 8stone 12lb

Do you have large breasts? I have absolutely no boobs so zero weight there.

Currently 10'6
Wanting to get down to 9'9 again
Wear size 6-8
I'm pretty muscular currently but still got some belly fat

WalkersNonsuch · 25/01/2019 20:22

About 14 and a half stone (not weighed since Christmas) and I’m a 16-18 probably nearer 18 at the moment. Throughout my teens and twenties I was around 9 stone, around 10-11 stone in my thirties now in my early 40s. Determined that this year I will drop down to a healthy weight plus I’m a bridesmaid in July and need to get into a size 14 dress so this is my first goal Smile

AmICrazyorWhat2 · 25/01/2019 20:23

9st., was 8.5 st. for years until I hit my mid-40s., my metabolism has definitely slowed down

I could probably get rid of that half stone if I gave up wine and treats... like that's going to happenGrin

alltheusernames · 25/01/2019 20:24

I was 10 stone 13 last year, now down to 9st 7, in a size 10 also, but would like to lose another 7lb. Don't know why really but don't feel slim enough yet, I'm big chested so feel like I look bigger.

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 25/01/2019 20:24

9st 12, size 12.

CherryBlossom23 · 25/01/2019 20:26

8 and a half stone, size 8 on top, 8/10 on bottom depending on shop. Pear shaped.

PirateWeasel · 25/01/2019 20:27

Haven't weighed since giving birth but pre pregnancy was 11 stone and size 12.

SueGeneris · 25/01/2019 20:30

55-57 kg. Wear a size 10.

sizzledrizz · 25/01/2019 20:30

Around 9.5 stones, and wear a 6 or an 8. I have broad shoulders, and never buy shirts because of the gaping at the bust.I buy according to my waist size, or sometimes go up a size to an 8 with a dress, or anything that looks ok belted. I have weight trained for years though, and am quite muscular and fit.

sizzledrizz · 25/01/2019 20:31

People are usually shocked when they find out how much I weigh.

sheldonstwin · 25/01/2019 20:32

9stones12 size 14, or maybe 12 on a good day

daisypond · 25/01/2019 20:33

9st. I'm in my early 50s and have definitely put on about half a stone in the last couple of years.

Squickety · 25/01/2019 20:34

Bit shorter at 5ft 4 but I'm currently just under 10st and a size 12. Could do with dropping a stone really, but I love food too much!

Permanentlydisaffected · 25/01/2019 20:35

Goes to show how nuts sizing is as I weigh 7:12 and fit into size 6-8 so baffling how someone who weighs almost 2 stone than me can wear the same size. The difference in shops is astounding. An 8 in M&S is enormous on me. For the record I wish I weighed a good half stone more as far too skinny. No stealth boasting here, people have made some seriously cruel comments to me over the years and I know I look crap.

Heyha · 25/01/2019 20:35

Was a busy, muscley and fit 57.5kg pre-pregnancy which is about 9 stone. Pear shape so 10 on top 10-12 on bottom depending on shop and specific item.
I'm now half way through pregnancy and became hungry and sedentary so just over 10 stone, size 12 excluding the bump. Never had boobs before!!

ItsameAmario · 25/01/2019 20:35

17 St Sad

PivotPivotPivottt · 25/01/2019 20:36

11st6lb. This time last year I was 10st2lb and was determined to lose weight Sad. I'm a size 14 but pushing into a 16 in tops. My jacket is a size 12 but I think that's different I would never get away with a size 12 shirt or top!

I was a size 10 a couple of years ago I would love to be a size 10 again Sad

Some of these really surprise me... when i was 10st 11 which was my heaviest, I was still mostly wearing size 10. Had to buy a couple of size 12 bottoms that was it but they soon got baggy once I started losing weight. Now at 9st 9 I'm a size 10 top and bottom but still am able to fit in some old size 8 things but not many.
I have small boobs and wide hips. Am tempted to post a pic now (with modesty blacked out!)

10 stone and size 10 but feel much better with a few pounds off.

SpeckledDot · 25/01/2019 20:41

8st 12lb

PivotPivotPivottt · 25/01/2019 20:43

Zara I'm the same as you I have small boobs and wide hips. Most of my weight has gone to my stomach and hips. I'm happy with the little bit of weight that's gone to my thighs and bum as they were too skinny before. My arms need toned and my face has took some weight but the majority is round my hips I hate it.

Hollipopsmum · 25/01/2019 20:43

I’m 5 6 & weigh 10 11 - happier around 10 4. Fit comfortably into a 12 - do a fair bit of exercise so am pretty toned.

surferjet · 25/01/2019 20:43

At 11 stone I’m a good size 14.
I could squeeze into a 12, but it would most certainly be a squeeze! Grin
