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

Well I’m slightly shorter (5 foot 7) and lighter at 10 stone 3 and I’m a size 14. I would need to squeeze myself into a 12….

I’m exactly the same measurement and weight as the OP and I’m a 12 bottom and 14 top. No way would I get near a 10!

Another size 11 😀

I'm an inch taller and currently more than half a stone heavier at 11 stone 5. Heaviest I've ever been. Sob. But have small boobs and can still be a 10/12 on top. Currently a definite 12 in jeans.

At your weight, I was probably more 10 leaning than 12 and could get away with a small in some brands for dresses and tops. A lot depends on the brand and cut.

I was an 8/10 at between 9 stone 7 and 10 stone, when I was a teenager/student and during my divorce.

I'm trying to focus on toning up rather than the weight. Mid-40s and an extra half a stone just jumped on virtually overnight earlier this year.

I would be a fat 14. Currently 5’8 /9 st 10 and a 12.

I’m a size 10-12, height 5’10” and around 11st 7-11st 10 usually. BMI is 23.something

5ft4 -10s9lbs - size 12 (deffo not a 14, probs 10-12 waist and 12 everywhere else)

I’m shorter at 5/4 and weigh 10/2
Size 10 .. top and bottom
8 if it’s generous

5ft 5/5 10s 7lb and a solid size 12 everywhere I shop. Sometimes I’ll get a 10 or 14 because I prefer the fit.

FFS! People commenting that they don’t believe what size other people are! 🙄 What exactly about body composition is difficult to understand? The underlying judgement about weight and size on here is absolutely disgusting!

Same height and sitting between 144llbs and 146 llbs. I am a size 12 , sometimes a 10 on top.

My DD is 5 ft 7 and a half inches tall, and she moves between around 10 st 8 pounds and 11 stone 3 pounds. Currently 10 st 10, and is a size 10 on top, and a 12 on the bottom. (28" waist.)

30 years ago she would have been a size 12-14. Quite slim, but quite wide hips and a big-ish booty. (She is very happy with her body though, and so she should be!)

I don’t get this either OP, same height and 9stone 7lb but a size 10/12, but sometimes an 8 (especially on top). I exercise regularly. Honestly, it’s sometimes just your build rather than height/weight. I am more of a pear shape.

Slightly off topic, but I’m surprised at the number of people who are 5’9” and above (although maybe skewed as the original question was directed towards tall people). I genuinely thought there weren’t many women over 5’9” about!

I’m a size 10 and the same height and weight as you. I have no idea how you’re a 14 at this height. I run long distance and I’m extremely slim. I’m an hourglass shape so maybe shape plays a part - my weight is evenly distributed across my body and I have a very small waist. My DH thinks I’m too slim tbh because I’ve lost my boobs.

If I lost anymore weight I would look like I had cancer. I’m not even kidding either, I don’t think I could actually get any slimmer than this and not have an eating disorder. I feel cold most of the time as it is and have a low RHR (58).

That’s what I mean about body composition @Sartre you’re a distance runner so probably have a lower fat and higher muscle content than someone who doesn’t work out so much. Muscle is denser (not heavier!) than fat so you can weigh the same as someone else but be smaller in size (check google images for the size of a lb of muscle compared to a lb of fat). I’m not that thin at the moment but reading these comments, I’m definitely heavy for my dress size! Last time I went for a hospital pre-op the nurse was shocked at how much I weighed.

At 5”7 at that weight I I was a 12 and even 14 some places and I’m now 9st6 and a 8 or 10
