I love how we're all different and I'd love to see how different our body types are.

I had a nasty shock this morning as I stepped on the scales and found out I weigh 74kg - the heaviest I've ever been!

I'm petite at 5'2" and I'd say I'm a curvy size 10. I have a big bum/legs from training and I strangely have a small waist but big hips and excess fat on my tummy.

I suffer from endometriosis so I do struggle to lose weight but I wondered how we all compare and if you have any healthy lifestyle tips.

I workout roughly 3-5 times per week and this is a combination of jogging, dance, weight session and cardio machines.

I am hoping to TTC next year and I an anxious of how much weight I may put on.

@NoBaggyPants Ha I'm definitely sure of the size clothes I wear lol

That's why I've found it so interesting how different we are. I genuinely think I'm just quite muscular and that's why I'm heavier.

I do have a tummy but again it's not huge. It's strange how my actual waist is small but I do have fat on my tummy.

I am 5ft 6 and I don’t know what I weigh exactly but I am size 14-16, more so a 16 to be comfortable. Size 36/38D boobs and big legs and big bum. Used to have a small waist but now find it hard to keep it off my middle now 😭
I look quite round

BarbaraofSevillle · 24/06/2019 10:10

You're not a US size 10 (UK 14) are you OP?

I'm 5'7'' and a 12 at that weight, albeit with a size 8/10 waist, but my boobs, arse and thighs are never going lower than a 12.

Oysterbabe · 24/06/2019 10:10

I have a good friend who is 3st heavier than me but looks so, so much lighter. I'd swap bodies with her in a heartbeat. The scales don't always tell the full story.

Blueandredandblue · 24/06/2019 10:10

5ft 5,around 9stones 10 to 10 stones
Size 8 - 10 hourglass,
Broad shoulders,
largish thighs but muscular,
Weight train, run, yoga, generally workout 6 days a week and eat healthily

Butterflyone1 · 24/06/2019 10:11

@acquiescence Yes I'm UK so a UK size 10.

@eurochick It has something to do with the hormone levels I believe. Too much oestrogen I think.

Yes a photo would definitely show better but I don't fancy sharing online sorry.

If a size 10 doesn't fit for me, it's generally struggle to do up over my boobs or bum.

@ComtesseDeSpair

You sound a lot like me Blush I take a very similar approach which is helping me through the menopause with minimum problems Smile

SallyWD · 24/06/2019 10:14

I'm between 5ft 7 and 8. I weight about 10 stone 4lbs. I'm a pear shape. Slim upper body and small boobs, big bum and thighs. I'm generally a size 10 on top and a 12 in trousers/skirts.

PolkadotLollipop · 24/06/2019 10:17

BigFatGoalie, your ‘happy weight’ is very low indeed. A BMI of just over 17. Are you ok?

PolkadotLollipop · 24/06/2019 10:20

I’m an ectomorph (not much in the way of muscle mass and find it hard to put on muscle) and so I look pudgy at 3.5inches taller and 11kg less than OP. I look best at around 9st.

chillychicken · 24/06/2019 10:20

5ft 2in, 55.8kg. Waist 27in, hips 34in. Size 10 but they're loose. Size 8 would be too small though.
28H boobs.
Basically: clothes don't fit.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 24/06/2019 10:21

Happy to share pics. Before at 39 years of age. After at 50.

MustardMonster · 24/06/2019 10:24

I'm 5ft 5, hourglass shape. Weight 11st 10 and I'm a comfortable size 14.

SamStephens · 24/06/2019 10:25

I’m 5’8” and currently 85kg but 6 months pregnant and a maternity size 12-14.

Normally I’m 74kg and a size 10 on bottom and 12 on top. Big boobs, broad shoulders and no arse.

I used to be 139kg though so I’m happy regardless.

Butterflyone1 · 24/06/2019 10:26

@NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace what an amazing transformation!! Well done you. How did you do it?

I'm 5ft 5 or 6. 11st 5lb size 14/16. Carry all my weight around my hips and stomach. Small boobs, flat bum. I used to be 2 stones lighter but dont ever see me being that weight again. Really unhappy with my shape at the moment but just don't see how I can shift all the weight from my hips Sad

misslucienne · 24/06/2019 10:31

I'm 5 foot 5 and a half, between 8.7 and 9 stone at any given time. Toned legs and arms but wobbly stomach and bum. I could definitely do with toning up. Not sure what shape I am.

Runningonempty84 · 24/06/2019 10:32

5ft 6, 9st 7ish.
Size 8-10.
I run every day, cycle 4/5 times a week and lift weights. I've recently gained a bit of weight through eating excess cake (marathon training makes me hungrier) which I'm looking to shift

ethelfleda · 24/06/2019 10:34

5’7” probably about 9 and a half stone and a size 10
I have an arse and a small waist. Used to be boy shaped with a flat chest but pregnancy and breastfeeding have left me with more of an hour glass shape.
I worked out a fair bit when younger so have a fairly flat stomach.
However, the weight has started to creep on lately after decades of eating what I want! I’m not considering dieting for the first time in my 35 years.

ethelfleda · 24/06/2019 10:35

I’m now considering dieting that should say!

Treaclepie19 · 24/06/2019 10:36

5ft 6, 14 stone (dieting) and a size 14 top/18 bottom. I'm a definite pear with all my weight on my hips, bum and thighs. Waist is tiny in comparison.

Butterflyone1 · 24/06/2019 10:37

Here I am. You can see not a typical size 10 but definitely fits lol

5'4, 8 stone 8 as of this morning. Size 8 usually, can be 6 or 10. I have the worst body shape imaginable (extreme apple) so I have to stay very slim to look okay. I want to be 8 stone ideally like I was a few years ago.
