I know super personal but just out of interest.

I’m 5,4 and 13.5 stone- size 14 ish. I’ve just had a baby so losing weight slowly, aiming for 11stone. Which would be the higher end of my bmi, however I feel like I’m too thin and it’s not sustainable any lower even though I’m short..

6ft, 10st5, size 10 on top, 12 on the bottom.

Bayleaf25 · 23/02/2020 22:53

@sherea very similar to me. Excellent work on the weight loss (wish I could keep it up). Please do it for the rest of us x

Sparkyduchess · 23/02/2020 22:57

5’8”, 8 stone, size 6 - 8.

I’d look significantly better at 9.5 stone.

nanbread · 23/02/2020 23:17

5'5, just under 9 stone, size 8-10.

I'm flabby with a big belly and lots of wobbly bits, don't do enough exercise and eat too much.

Weight and size is not an indicator of health!

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 23/02/2020 23:35

I'm 53 (if that's relevant) and am as follows:

Height: 1.70m (5'7")
Weight 56kg (8st 12lb)
Clothes size: 8 (bottom)/10 (top) for designer stuff; 6 (bottom)/8 top (high street)

42isthemeaning · 23/02/2020 23:40

5'8"
Size 14/16
Stopped weighing myself a while ago when I was at 13.5 st It won't be any less!!
Lowest I've ever been as an adult was 11.5st
Would love to be that again but my belly is just too big and I eat when I'm bored. Sad

TimeToGetMeBack · 23/02/2020 23:42

I'm odd
5ft2 11 stone size 8-10. Down from nearly 15 stone (size 16-18). I think I may have a lot of muscle though only way I can explain. No one believes me when I say my weight 🤷🏼‍♀️

uncomfortablydumb53 · 23/02/2020 23:44

5'4
8 stone 12
Size 12

TimeToGetMeBack · 23/02/2020 23:44

@oxoxoxoxo see I'm 5ft2 and if I go under 9 stone I look really ill! I don't get it

OhioOhioOhio · 23/02/2020 23:47

Too embarrassed to say

pumpkinbump · 23/02/2020 23:51

4ft 11, 7.5st and a size 6 or 8. Hope I'm not the shortest here Blush

blue25 · 23/02/2020 23:52

5’6”
10 stone
Size 12. Can squeeze into some size 10 trousers
Aiming to get back to 9 stone by the summer

oxoxoxoxo · 24/02/2020 15:21

@timetogetmeback that's my point exactly - we all weigh differently IME. A poster earlier wondered why people bigger than her were the same dress size - I imagine it's the same thing. Which is why I find BMI a really odd way of determining someone's health (although I know it's only a guideline, and comes with caveats about muscle etc).

Perhaps I am just very unmuscley.......Grin

I think most of us know what weight suits us, and should go by feeling comfortable rather than getting hung up on weight. I definitely need to lose a few inches and tone up a load of flab...Smile.

Scaremonger · 24/02/2020 15:25

5ft 3
11st 12lb
size 16
Apple shaped, really good legs, arms and arse, but a large belly

avocadotofu · 24/02/2020 15:29

I'm 5 feet 4 inches.
I weigh 8 stone 7 pounds. And I'm a size 8-10.

IntermittentParps · 24/02/2020 15:35

5ft 10
Just under 9 stone (it fluctuates a bit)
Size 6–8/XS–S depending on the shop and item

Heavy hips, v small chest and long lanky limbs (finding sleeves and trousers long enough is a nightmare unless I wear things two sizes too big!)

BMI-wise I'm underweight, but I eat heartily and am fairly strong and fit thanks to zumba, yoga and walking. I think BMI is a very blunt instrument.

squishedgrapes · 24/02/2020 15:36

5ft 7, 10 stones, size 10

Sally99 · 24/02/2020 15:40

@squishedgrapes

I'm 5ft 6, 10 stone, size 12-14. How can that be?

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 24/02/2020 15:41

5'2 and 7'7...

Usually a 8 on the bottom and 10 on top.

Raspberrytruffle · 24/02/2020 15:44

Well I've gained quite a bit of weight in a year due to anxiety, medication and not leaving the house for weeks on end. 5ft6 13stone and apple shaped, I'm size 18

Fedupwithmyhouse · 24/02/2020 15:46

I’m 5 foot 7 and weigh 11 stone 6 just now. Currently wear a size 12/14. Would like to get to 9 stone.

Bunnylady54 · 24/02/2020 15:49

It also amazes me how different everyone is - to be a size 14 when you’re only 5ft 4” & 13.5 stone seems incredible! I’m just under 5ft 3” & when I weighed 13 stone, I was nearly in a size 20!
Now I’m around 11 stone & a size 16 - 18

Scbchl · 24/02/2020 15:50

13 stone, 5"9, size 12.

peony68 · 24/02/2020 15:54

5'6" , 9stone 4 size 10/12 depending where I shop !!! Was 5st 6 heavier 18 months ago it's been a journey to get to where I am now but feeling so much better for it .

BossAssBitch · 24/02/2020 16:01

5'5", 10 stone, size depends what I'm wearing, jeans I'm an 8, dresses sometimes and 8, sometimes a 10, same goes for tops.

Was always around 8 stone but then 40s came along and now I'm mid forties I actually look much better with a bit of meat on me! My ideal weight is 9 stone 5lbs, that's when my face / arse ratio is on point Grin
