What size are you if you’re 5’8” and 10 and a half stone?

[Fearlesssloth]

Posting here for traffic. If you’re 5’8” and around 10st 8lbs what size are you? And what’s your BMI? My bmi is 22 and I’m between a 10 and a 12 but I think I must have a large frame or something cos I thought I’d be an 8-10 at this weight/this bmi

An inch shorter but same weight. Size 10 bottom and size 10/12 top 32ff boobs. I’ve always been an hour glass but my waist is thicker as I’ve got older.

I'm pretty much exactly the same as you OP, and I'm a size 10 in tops but a 12-14 in bottoms as I have very wide hips!

Certainly is. I'm the same height and size as you @romanholidays but weigh 12 stone. I was a size 20-22 at 13 stone 7.

I’m 5’7 and I was a size 12 at this weight.

Two years ago when I was that weight at height I was a size 10 top and 12 bottom

When I was that weight I was a 12-14. I am also 5'8".

So I think you are doing alright if you are a 10-12!

Clothes shops vary so much but I’d be a 10-12 on top and a 12-14 on bottom depending how generous the sizing is.

I’m now half a stone lighter than this and wouldn’t say I’m definitely in the size down but some things are looser than I’d like them to be.

I am 5’ 8” and weigh 10st 12lbs and I am a size 12 in most clothing. Even when I go down to 10st 4lb I am still a size 10 - 12.

An average build person of 5’ 8” would have a frame that would fit a size 10-12 even if not carrying much weight. There will be people with very slight frames fitting a size 8 - 10, but I think they’d weigh a lot less than 10st.

A BMI of 22 is perfectly healthy.

Just to add I’m bottom heavy with small boobs

I once bought a 'size 0' and a 'size L' - both dresses - on the same day. (was in America so not sure what a zero is in the uk.. maybe a 6)

5'8.5" 70kg size 12 in most shops
I have a lot of muscle

I’m a size 10-12 at that weight, mostly a 12. At 10 stone I’m a solid size 10.

5’9.5” (the .5 is important 🤣) and 10 stone 7 and I’m a size 12. I have a tiny waist but all my weight is on my butt and I have broad shoulders. I got down to under 10 stone and I was still a size 12. I also went up to 12 stone 4 on lockdown and my size 12 clothes still fit but were quite tight!

I’m surprised you’re a 14. I’m 5”7, 12.5 stone and a size 14.
At the lower end of 11 stone I’m a size 10!

I’m not sure what category my body shape fits into..I’ve always described myself as a rectangle 🤣 don’t have many curves and narrow hips, average size boobs. I have skinny arms and when I put weight on I carry it all around my middle - giant belly and love handles. Basically more like a middle-aged man shape! I was always skinny and lanky as a kid but have been a size 14 for most of my adult life (and between 12 & 13st). I’ve only recently lost weight. I do a lot of exercise so I’m more solidly built and stronger looking now (although I wouldn’t say muscular- that’s the goal but it’s very hard to get muscular as a woman I’m finding). Since I lost weight people keep saying, “you’ll never be a 10 because you’re tall, so your body’s not built that way”. I think that’s bollocks though, what about all the 6ft size zero supermodels?!

5ft7 and 10st6, i'm an 8-10 especially with clothes sizing getting bigger.

I have a small frame and must be very dense as people are always surprised by how much I weigh. I do carry my weight in my legs not my torso which gives the illusion of being slimmer, even though I could lose a stone and still be a healthy weight.

My sister is similar weight and height but more of an apple shape and wears 10-12.

My BMI is 20 and I am a size 8/10 so I think yours sounds about right.

Edited to add, I think you tend to weigh more for your size if you’re muscular. I am definitely not!

I'm 5' 8" and 11 5 and a size 14
Bmi 23 I think

I’m almost 5ft8 and 12 stones and am a 10/12. I have a lot of muscle and my upper body and waist is a size smaller than my hips.

I'm bang on 11stone, 5ft 10 and a size 14 !

Body shapes are weird.

I'm a 12. It's a good weight/size for me, suits my frame.

I have been a 10 in the past, but only when I was a good stone lighter, and pre-menopause, so I'm not sure I'd ever get back to that (or want to).

So am I

I have what used to be called "childbearing hips". I have a 12 inch difference between my waist and hips and am pear shaped. I am not overweight and have small boobs so everyone thinks I am skinny, but I find size 12 trousers too tight for comfort.

I think the 8s and 10s on here must have boyish narrow hips.

I’m 5’8”, average build and would have to be quite underweight to fit a size 8!

I think the size 0 is American sizing.

Varies. Muscle weighs more than fat and some people have more of it.
