To ask how much you weigh of you are 5ft 5"

[Zara85]

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....

I'm only 5ft 3'', but I'm pretty sure that according to the bmi calculator I am within the normal range at under 10 stone. So at 5ft 5'', you're probably 'allowed' few more pounds over 10 stone.

I'm 9 stone 3, trying to get down to my usual 9 stone. I put on 6lbs at Christmas and finding it painfully slow to lose

I’m 8st12 and a size 10-12 more often a 12 tho.
No boobs, long arms and legs, no waist at all (30inch) and carry on my belly and since hitting 40s also my upper hip/love handle area and inner thigh.

I always find these threads amazing how the clothes sizes work.
There are posters who weigh 1.5-2 stones more than me who are smaller dress size.

@alltheusernames I have no idea who H&M are making clothes for but I don’t know many people who can fit into most of their stuff. Generally it’s a one off jumper. None of my friends can get their jeans or trousers to fit proper and we’re a vast array of shapes and sizes. It’s bizzare!

What I mean is, you definitely don't 'have a long way to go'

I think H&M finally 'fixed' their clothing sizes last year!

Usually 9 stone. Pregnant so nearly 10 at the moment.

@Whatelsecouldibecalled I remember being quite young, late teens maybe early 20s and being devastated I couldn't fit into a pair of skinny jeans from them that were already 1 size bigger than I used to buy and buying them as I refused to go up by 2 sizes 🙄 obviously I wouldn't be so silly now but young women who are forever told they need to be a certain size to be perfect can be vulnerable. I will be intrigued to go to see if they have improved, I managed to buy sweats that were size small before Christmas, a bit tight after Christmas though 😂 Next are the opposite in that k can go a size smaller but not sure that's terribly healthy either, when I put weight on I'd shop in Next so I could believe I was still a certain size 😂

10st9lbs, size 12 bottom, size 14 top due to big boobs! Whilst I could probably do with shifting a few more pounds, I look slim and I'm comfortable with how I look.

I think Ted Baker sizes are perfect. With the right shape dress I can get a size 2 (10) and it’ll fit with a little bit of room, a size 1 would fit but would be too close for comfort.

Fat Face I buy a size 8 dress or top and still have too much room!! They’re just trying to flatter!

@MsSuperExcited Fat Face is where I get most of my clothes, I find it quite unpredictable, I try everything on from there before I buy. I have Breton tops and jumpers in 8-10, I couldn't do up the zip in 8 trousers but a comfortable 10, but yet have a size 8 denim dress (albeit in the sale, a 10 would have been better if in stock!) I've even got size 14 cardigans I can get away with. It's a bit frustrating but I find it depends what kind of fit I want as its obviously largely casual and I do like a slouchy jumper but tight trousers!

It's all pointless anyway as sizes are so much bigger than they used to be but I wish there was standardisation!

These threads always become competitive wanna-be anorexic weigh-ins. I've counted four posts by people who would be slightly underweight, and two clearly underweight, out of over 130 posts.

Usually 9st 7. At that weight my figure is fine and i stop weighing.
Currently 12st. But all is not lost. Ive lost 8lbs in 3 weeks and will keep going till i hit about 10st and then stop weighing.

To add i went to 11st when 41 weeks pregnant and somehow ended up bigger than that over the months lol. Got a long way to go but hopefully will do it

I'm 5' 4" and last time I weighed myself I was 9 stone 5lb. I'm 9 mths pp and still bf so bust is still massive. Lost about a stone since giving birth. Starting to feel a bit better about myself now. Previous weight was 8.5-9 stone. Size 8-10.

Dancemom where do you buy your clothes? Makes such a massive difference. I'm size 6/8 at All Saints and French Connection for example but M&S size 8 would swamp me. No competitive anorexia here, I hate being so thin and wish I was healthier looking.

@Permanentlydisaffected all over really!
Last bought 3 dresses from Primark and 2 of those were a size 4 and one was a size 8 - ridiculous!
Otherwise New Look, BooHoo, River Island, Uniqulo .... I often wear my teenage daughters items from New Look teen range too! Age 13-14 usually.

No competitive or anorexic comments here, I gym 5-6 days a week and although I have belly fat to lose and some toning to do my long term plan is to put on lean muscle so weight will definitely increase then.

Yes I do a few gym classes and run too although nothing makes any difference to my weight unfortunately! Even sitting around for a week at Christmas makes not a lot of difference.

Currently 9st
Ideally 8/10 but can't stop eating since Christmas and it's so cold.
I will get it off before my holidays but a bit of spare is no bad thing aged 51 stops the scraggy look.

46.3 kg

Just over 15 stone. I have been over 20 though...

Ps I just saw your photo and you have a great shape, OP. A lot of people would envy your lovely defined waist

Clothes sizing really isn't an indicator of anything as its so inconsistent. I would class myself as a size 10, but wear clothes anywhere from size 6 to size 14 depending on the brand!

5ft 4 and jealous here. I'm 12stone (and a little bit since christmas)

I can't even imagine being 9 stone or less

55kg / 8 and a half stones

Clothes sizing is little more than random numbers and I pay no attention to it. I wear what fits & shop by my actual measurements.

@Permanentlydisaffected I did the same at Christmas and put on 10lbs 🙈
