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..

5'4" , weight 10 stone, size 10, or 12 in some tops. Or age 13/24 in primark kids clothes.

Nearly 5ft 8.

Weigh between 14.7 and 15 stone.

Size 16. A couple of years ago would have been an 18 but sixes have definitely got bigger.

I do a lot of weight trying so I'm pretty solid and relatively happy with my shape.

@edgewater this picture says it all.

Agreed, a pound is a pound whether it be feathers or bricks but the way that weight looks differs massively!

5ft7, 9st4, size 8/10. Had a baby 3 months ago and would be keen to lose another 10Ibs or so.

stopgap · 23/02/2020 20:56

You should have asked for age, too. It’s amazing how 40+ everything can change!

DaveMinion · 23/02/2020 21:14

5’9” and 13st. I am a size 14.

I was 15st and a size 16-18 until recently. I lost weight not by hard work and perseverance alas. Medication side effects. I was diagnosed with adhd so lost weight due to those meds (not the best way to lose weight trust me). Stable now though and happy at this weight.

5 ft 4, 8 stone 8 lbs, size 10.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 23/02/2020 21:18

5 foot 8, about 9 stone 4 and size 8. But I'm 50 and have put on half a stone over the last six months or so. I hate it because all my clothes are fitted, so I feel much fatter than I realise I am, and can't comfortably wear certain things. If I wore looser styles, it would bother me less.

MadameF · 23/02/2020 21:23

Age 54, 5'8 and 9 stone do lots of sport so not thin but clothes size varies from 6 - 10 depending on shop

Size 10 for bottoms

ColourMeExhausted · 23/02/2020 21:27

5 ft 8, size 12-14, 11 stone 11 I think. Happy with this; I'm hourglass and have big hips and feet. After having DC I went down to 11 stone 3, and it was not a good look, people were telling me I looked too thin which I'd never had before! and kinda liked it

Pre DC I was at least half a stone heavier, still a 14 though. Happy to remain at my current weight and do a lot of exercise, and don't drink too much. But my diet could definitely do with improvement, I'm prone to emotional eating and too reliant on sugar. Worried about this becoming a problem at 40.

ohmysoul · 23/02/2020 21:32

I'm 5ft11, 14 stone and a size 14. I was 16.5 stone and a size 18 in November though! I'm aiming for 12.5 stone over the next few months.

5'2", 9 stone, size 10

Oxo01 · 23/02/2020 22:13

4ft 11inc (diddy I know)
Size 6 or 8 dresses or trousers but tops 8 /10.
I am in proportion but would love to put a bit of weight on !
I'm odd as lost weight after having kids and went off most sweet things.

Elsiebear90 · 23/02/2020 22:22

5ft 7, I’m 10st 10lbs last time I checked, 29 and I’m a size 12 in tops as I’m a 32EE, and a usually a 10 in trousers, some brands I’m a 12. People tend to think I weigh a lot less than I do and are shocked I’m almost 11 stone.

sandscript · 23/02/2020 22:26

5"7 and 9st 13lb, size 10. Sometimes a 12.

I'd like to lose half a stone, that's where I'm happiest.

LadySlipper11 · 23/02/2020 22:28

5'11, 11st, size 8-10. I'm a bit heavier post baby, not too fussed about that but I'd like to be as toned as I was!

woodn · 23/02/2020 22:30

@SummerHouse this is such a good example of how weight isn't really a good indicator and we should go by how we feel.
I'm 5'3, a stone heavier but a size 8, 10 sometimes round the bum!

Do a lot of weight lifting so have a fair amount of muscle!

I feel too heavy though and I am used to being 8.5-9. Cutting season is ahead though!

ploughingthrough · 23/02/2020 22:41

I'm almost 5 ft 6, 10 stone 8 and a size 14. I think my dress size should be less but it isn't so I need to drop at least another stone.

Spoiler: people are different sizes. People are different shapes. Some weigh more but wear smaller clothes and vice versa. Listing the numbers is a bit pointless really
