Size 16 and 16.7 stone??

[Xxellzxx]

Hello all, I’ve been trying to lose weight and I was talking to my friends who are about size 12-14 and they weigh between 10 stone and 12 stone and they were shocked when I told them I was over 16 stone. I am 5”6 and wear 36C/38C bra and size 16 in top and bottoms. Is this normal and is there anyone else like this?

I'm surprised. I'm 5' 4", 11st 12 and size 16.

I'm a size 18 weigh 15 stone and have 36g bra size, I'm 5,10" I think everyone carries weight in different places

I'm 5'5, 36DD and just under 16 stone in size 16/18.

I wanna lose weight too lovely 😭

I suppose everyone is different. I’m 6ft and the same weight as you and wear an 18-20.

As long as you are happy - it doesn’t matter if it’s ‘normal’ I don’t think.

I'd say that was unusual. I'm taller than you and at 12 stone I was a size 14.

Sizes are meaningless. Size 16 in Topshop or M&S? Huge difference.
What do you measure?

Having said that, it is possible for people who are the same height to be different weights.

I was the same, we're just 'dense'. I'm now 5'7 10st and size 10.

How tall are you - that would be reasonable for a 6 footer but obviously not the right weight for a five foot person

Yep, I'm very similar too (few inches shorter). Everyone carries weight differently.

I'm 5'3'' and weighed 22 stone at my heaviest.,

Even then I was only a size 22.

Which is huge but most people think 5'3'' and 22 stone is being carried out and unable to walk levels of fat ness.

When I was 11 stone I was a size 10 - and officially still obese.

Go figure

I'm 5ft 6 too and 3 stone lighter but size 16.

I'm 8.5 stone 5'2 size 10-12. Bra 34DD.

When I weighed 14 stone (years ago now) I was a size 20-22. Bra was something like 44E.

Everyone carries weight differently!

I was Size 18 at 14st. Also I find some people where clothes that are far too big or small. I always preferred clothes to be slightly bigger as they fitted better and then made me look smaller, than if I had worn something 2 sizes smaller which still “fit”

I'm 5' 5 and am a size 18 at 17 stone (I've lost some weight, that was my heaviest).

I was a size 12 at 12 stone and I was told on here that it couldn't possibly be true.

5' 11" here, 14 stone and would be a 17 if such a thing existed (ie 18 can a bit big; 16 can be a bit tight)

I am 5ft 3
weight 11st 10
size 14-16
bust 38B

I’m 5 foot 6!

I'm about the same as you, at 10st I was in a size 8 or a small 10.

MN is a funny place, people always seem to have totally out of skew dress sizes for their weight/height! I'm a 10-12, haven't weighed myself in a while but reckon I'm between 9.5 and 10 stone and I'm 5'7". Are you sure you have your weight right??

5'2
10st 12
Size 14

Almost :) 5 ft 5. 16st. Size 20

When I was 11st I was a size 14, although you would probably call that a size 12 now.

I am about the same weight and height but wear size 20 jeans and 22/24 on the top. I need bigger on the top as I have 36GG boobs. Where do you shop that fits you in a 16?

Just goes to show how different we all are. I weight 13 stone and am a (big) 16 at the same height as you.

I’m 17.5 stone and a 20/22, I think at 16 stone I was an 18, so bigger than you OP but not miles away.
Definitely sounds like you carry your weight well though!

I'm 5ft 4" and at the beginning of January weighed 16st 1lb, size 18-20.

I'm now 14st 11lb and size 18 (16 in generous shops!).

I would ideally like to be size 12/14 I reckon I need to lose about 3st to be there, so around 11st...
