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.

I am 5ft 7inches and 75kg (12stone'ish) and a UK dress size 14 (NEXT) or 12 SuperCurvy(Bravissimo). I am hourglass shape with big boobs (34GG), large butt and a narrow waste. When not quite so podgy I am a lovely curvy shape. Currently carrying a bit too much tummy squidge and upper arm flab.

I am not unhappy with my size but half a stone less would make my jeans a but less tight and so I am cutting back a little this next few weeks to make that happen.

Sweetdisposition - I’m the same height and weight as you but I look much larger than you, as if I weigh at least a stone more. I’m a size 12. Maybe because I’m 20 years older than you and I do no exercise, so my body tone is totally different.

bigbeans · 24/06/2019 15:32

I too, am potato shaped.
5'8 75kg with ALL my weight around my tummy. I do have slim arms and legs

CarrieBlu · 24/06/2019 15:34

I’m short and weigh 13 stone 10. That makes me fucking massive for my frame. I hate it and have finally started to do something about it this week. 6 pounds off, only another 4 stone 4 pounds to go!

Mummoomoocow · 24/06/2019 15:39

5’4, 71kg, very flabby size 14-16. All the weight everywhere, not toned at all. Having a baby really fucked it tbh, I was 63kg and a sexy curvy hourglass but now I’m just a deformed potato wearing a wet jumper.

IntoValhalla · 24/06/2019 15:41

I’m 5’4” and usually 53kg (8st 4lbs).
(I’m 28 weeks pregnant with DC3 and have no idea of my weight right now....definitely a lot more than 53kg though Blush thanks to my love affair with cake!)
I’m usually straight up and down, almost flat chested, no “curves” to speak of. Figure of an 8 year old boy Blush
I’m planning on saving up once we are all done with the pregnancy/breastfeeding malarkey and buying myself some boobs!

AllStar14 · 24/06/2019 15:43

I'm 5'8 weigh about 13st and am a size 14/16 bra size 32J! Funny thing is before DC I was 11st but still a size 14, maybe a 12 in some shops/clothes but definitely more comfortable in a 14.

noworklifebalance · 24/06/2019 15:45

5'4", 54kg & size 8.
Was 64kg 3 months ago - I look a lot better and younger with the weight off.
Ideal weight would be 50kg but have plateaued a bit with the weight loss.

PeriComoToes · 24/06/2019 15:51

Lozz22 · 24/06/2019 15:57

5'1.5" weigh 12 stone and a size 14 sometimes depending on the time of the month I may occasionally need to go into a size 16 bottom half and wear a belt with them. carry a lot of weight around my tummy and also have very curvy hips and bum oh and big boobed too. The only skinny part of me are my wrists. I was thinner but I stopped going to the gym so I'm not as toned as I used to be

grace7 · 24/06/2019 16:18

5ft 4, i weigh around 53kg but it seems to go up and down everyday (dodgy scales?Confused). I am quite slim and small but I don't think I'm 'skinny' as I do have curves and a bit of chub. I used to exercise regularly but since having DS this has gone down to nothing, but I'm still quite fit somehow.

grace7 · 24/06/2019 16:19

Oh, and a size 8.

ambereeree · 24/06/2019 16:40

We lose muscle as we get older so sometimes you've lost weight according to the scales but are generally fatter. Weight lifting has helped me stay slim.

DippyAvocado · 24/06/2019 16:53

5 ft 7, 10 stone 3, wear a size 10, would like to lose a stone!

I am 5'7 and weigh exactly a stone less than you but am still a size 10!

I am generally very slim, especially legs and hips but I have no waist and can't get anything smaller than a 10 to fit around my middle. It's almost impossible to find good jeans as the ones that do up around the middle are baggy on the legs. I would look terrible in culottes and a crop top as they hide my slim bits and emphasise my lack of waist.

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 24/06/2019 16:54

Smallish build , 5ft 2 and bang on 8 stone

WhentheRabbitsWentWild · 24/06/2019 16:54

Oh , size 10 . Can get in an 8 but if its uniglo 8 its tiny and makes me feel self consious

BlueJava · 24/06/2019 17:00

I'm 5'5", weight 244 lbs and size 24, I'd describe my body shape as evenly fat all over :)

Rachelle11 · 24/06/2019 17:09

5'4, 8 stone. I have endo too and find my belly can hang on to fat. I do a lot of ab work though which helps my back issues related to endo and I think makes everything a bit flatter. After multiple surgeries though it is definitely harder than is once was.

Have you found surgeries have changed your body at all?

Rachelle11 · 24/06/2019 17:09

Oh and small but curvy. 30E boobs, and hips that match.

ghrufh · 24/06/2019 17:14

5'2, about 7st 9 and a safe size 8.

I'd be a 6 if it wasn't for the slight diastasis recti which I need to resolve eventually

Baddabingbaddaboom · 24/06/2019 17:40

5'11, 15.5 stone and a size 14-16. I need to lose a stone then ill be at my ideal weight again

5 foot 5. 11 stone 12lbs. Size 14. Shaped like a hot air balloon with legs.

Junowhat · 24/06/2019 17:54

I find these threads fascinating.

I am 5ft 7" and weight 130-133lbs. I am an hourglass shape (36 - 27 - 36) and I am a size 12 (30FF boobs which dictate that I think).
I was reading reviews of clothes on Boden and so many comments along the lines of: I'm 135lbs, 5ft 7 and I ordered a size 8 or 6 😮.
My measurements (and experience) on the same site tell me i am a 12. Not that it matters what the label says when its comfortabpe and you like it but it is interesting!
