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..

5'11", weigh about 66 or 67kg, dress size 8/10.

It is weird how people of similar height to me but heavier are in smaller clothes. I know we are all different shapes. It still seems strange. My excess fat is all over, I don't have a particular area that has more. DH has all his on his belly.
I am 5'2" and just over 9 stone. I wear a size 12.

5 ' 10
12 stone
size 12 in most things. 14 in some tighter things
I have a small/medium frame and a hourglass figure.

5’4” and currently about 9.5 stone because I had a third baby 3 weeks ago. I’m a 10 at this weight. Should be back around 8.5 stone and an 8 in a month or two hopefully. Weight drops off me when I’m bf - luckily as I’m mainlining chocolate and biscuits to ward off tiredness.

5'6 , 11st7 , size 14 (roomy size 12 on a good day 😜)

Insideimsprinting · 23/02/2020 19:16

5ft3 7st10 size 6-8. 45yrs 2 kids but have always been small and have never had curves. Even whilst breastfeeding I couldn't even fill a maternity bra, normally I don't have a handful. Quite like being skinny but would love some curves.

Happygirl79 · 23/02/2020 19:17

@Speckledust
Its because some people are more toned than others and of course different people carry weight in different parts of their body compared to others

5’8
8 stone
Size 8 but trying to become a size 0 x

BanSprouts · 23/02/2020 19:20

5ft3, size 8-10 and around 8st5lbs ish

cheeseomelette · 23/02/2020 19:21

This is so interesting. I'm 5 ft 7 and started to feel too slim under 9 st 10 ish when a size 8 started feeling loose. Right now I'm 12 stone and wearing size 12 jeans. I cannot imagine ever being 8 stone anything.

I had one of those health check things last year and apparently my bones are really dense and I have lots of muscle. I'd still like to lose a stone but it explains why my friend and I look totally different at exactly the same height and weight.

ValancyRedfern · 23/02/2020 19:21

The variation here is fascinating. I'm 5'7", 9st10 and size 10, occasionally 8 (although tops have to be stretchy or from Bravissimo).

NamelessNinja · 23/02/2020 19:25

5ft 6 , somewhere around 9.5 stone and a size 10

argueifnecessary · 23/02/2020 19:26

I'm 5ft 6inches, weigh 12st and wear a size 16. Can squeeze into a size 14 skirt bit I have a MASSIVE ribcage and wide shoulders (+ breastfeeding) so top half is always a larger size. Ideally I would lose 10kg but 5 would do. I have always been a bit chunkier re shoulders, ribcage and large chest which is not going to change so I have never wanted to be really thin.
I love sports but I am so so lazy in that regard. Wish I had a friend to cajole me.

Itsonlywords · 23/02/2020 19:27

5'10, 15 stone, size 18 and I feel disgusting. My ideal weight is around 12 stone, I've lost a stone but still quite a few to go.

Darbs76 · 23/02/2020 19:28

I’m 5ft 1, 9st 5 and size 12. I’m a stone heavier than last year so started a diet last week. First weigh in tomorrow. I do yo yo with my weight so have work skirts in 8’s, 10’s and 12’s. I’m big busted so a size 10 dress won’t always fasten if has buttons but any bigger it gapes around the back of the neck

BigButtons · 23/02/2020 19:29

No idea how much I weigh but I am 5'5" and wear size 6 clothing. I have no bust and no curves.

Darbs76 · 23/02/2020 19:29

@PlomBear - surely that’s already underweight?

JacketPotatoQueen · 23/02/2020 19:29

I am 5 ft 4 and just over 8.5 stone, wear a size 10. I do run a lot as well.

Skyejuly · 23/02/2020 19:29

I'm 5ft 2 and 9st 9 size 12.

Em8725 · 23/02/2020 19:32

5ft4, 7st13, size 6-8. I’m 25 with two children. I was a size 14 after my first child, but no idea how much I weighed as I refused to look.
I’ve always been naturally slim, and for me personally, this is about right.

Whatafustercluck · 23/02/2020 19:33

5ft 6in 12st size 14, 41yo. Trying to lose weight - succeeding but very, very slowly. 🙄

22WR · 23/02/2020 19:35

I'm 5'4", around nine and a half stone (but hoping to lose the last of my baby weight and get back under 9 stone) and I'm a size 8-10

Lipperfromchipper · 23/02/2020 19:37

5ft3
8st I think
Size 8

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 23/02/2020 19:41

5’2 8 stone and a size 6 for the most part. I’ve got a small frame so anything over 8 stone 7 makes me look a wee bit chubby.

CynthiaRothrock · 23/02/2020 19:46

5ft
7st 4lb
