I am 5'8" size 14 bottom, size 16 top, I just want to get fitter and tone up my thighs happy with the rest (apart from flabby overhanging tummy, but I just tuck that into my pants .). about 12st

16 is average so 14 can't be that bad.

i used to be a size 8 before i got pregnant and now i am a 12 and not happy. i don't feel huge but i would like to go back down to about a 10. i am 19 and also a lone parent with a 20 month old so it seems we have a bit in common. if you have msn add me pink__diamonds at hotmail dot com xxx

I am 5'9" and before dd2 I was healthy bmi (got my gold weightwatchers membership card and everything ) and I was a 14, 16 in tops. I am overweight now at size 18 (20 in some tops ), but even now I am overweight not obese. So no, I don't think you are too big by the sound of it.

You need to find out your body mass index. Normal range is 19 - 25. I will find you a link. When you look at it I'll bet you find that you used to be at the lower end of the normal range and now you're not even at the top end. I'll take a guess and say you'll be 22 or 23, which is absolutely fine. It just feels fat to you because it's not what you're used to and maybe the tummy is still a little flabby? Don't worry - you can get it toned up again - it's all in your head. YOU ARE NOT FAT!

Here's one that works for children, too. As an adult you just need to click on the adult calculator on the left hand side.

I'm 5ft 7ish and AIMING for size 14!!!

YANBU though because how you feel is how you feel... no amount of us telling you that you aren't obese/fat/horrendous looking etc will change the way you feel unless YOU change it
