and what does BMI mean? how do i work it out?
cheers.
just trying on my shorts from last year (off to spain on Sat) and I can just about get them over my thighs and can just about do the buttons up - I can't wear them without being totally uncomfortable - I am so cheesed off. I will probably gain half a stone on hols anyway.

bmi calculator

Gosh I don't know. I'm 5'6 and small/medium and I weigh about 9 stone and am size 8-10.

Don't know if that's helpful!

9 stone sound slim for someone 5ft 6ins - i'm jealous .

BMI is Body mass Index, which is the amount of weight you have in proportion to your height. Usually done in KG/M squared
A normal BMI is between 18.5 and 25.

Divide your weight in kilograms (2.2 pounds) by your height in metres squared.

according to that link if you are 5.3, you need to be between 8-10 stone to be in the healthy range.
