Inspired by the 5'7 thread, i was about to add to it, but I am 5'8 (nearly!)

I was thinking about weights and sizes and i thought it would be interesting to see where people are? - i had to look up my weight in kilos so if you could do both that would be great

I'm 5'8 - currently about 13st 1lb (83 kilos) and i take a 14 in Next jeans, but cant fit in 16 jeans at primark - tops mostly size 14

I'm 5ft 4.
9 stone.
Depending on the shop I am everything from an 8 to a 12.

Fallstar · 10/01/2016 10:22

These threads always confuse me as I think the sizes I wear are out of step with everyone else.

I'm 5'5", weigh just under 9st and take a size 12 generally. Other people with my height and weight seem to wear smaller clothes.

A few things I wear are smaller, but generally I'm a 12. The only shop where I sometimes need a 10 is Next, but I don't buy from there very often and their sizes seem to be pretty random.

I work out and am toned-ish, and fairly small-boobed. No idea why I'm bigger for my weight than others!

5ft 2
7st 10 / 49kg
8 or 10

Wahhhh · 10/01/2016 10:29

5.8 14 stone 2, size 16

SquadGoals · 10/01/2016 10:38

5ft 9. Currently about 11st 8 and size 12 pretty much across the board.

Looking to get to about 10st 2 which is the weight I feel best at, where I am a standard 10, with the odd 12 for my huge chest.

Floppityflop · 10/01/2016 10:44

Fallstar, you are likely wearing things on the baggy side like my DM.

ylimintin · 10/01/2016 10:46

I'm 5ft 4.
10st 10lbs (Probably the most I've ever weighed bar pregnancy).
I'm a 10/12. More so a 12 but I refuse to admit it.
In next I find a size 10 pair of jeans perfect or too big, I think they are doing that vanity sizing thing though.
I can squeeze into a size 10 skinny jeans from say, New look makes a massive muffin top though-
I can just barely get my bum into a fatface size 10 skinny. So I'd be a 12 there.
I'm whatever shape it is that carries weight around the middle, apple?

SuperFlyHigh · 10/01/2016 10:47

5 ft 4.5, 10 stone. 12 in Top Shop, small or medium (depends) in zara, more 10 on top, 12 bottom.

Fallstar · 10/01/2016 11:12

Floppity, that's quite possible as I'm a bit nervous of having that squished-in-and-bulging look! Will reassess...

horseygeorgie · 10/01/2016 11:19

I'm a fatty!

5'9, 17 1/2 stone. Take a size 18 trews pretty much everywhere and generally a size 16 top. I'm fairly fit though and carry a fair bit of muscle.

hiccupgirl · 10/01/2016 11:24

Just under 5'4'' and between 13-13.5 stone. 16 top and 18 bottom as a pear shape.

This is the lightest I've been in 20 years so while I'd love to drop another 2-3 stone, I'm happy to not be 16+ stone and maintaining the weight loss at the mo.

P1nkP0ppy · 10/01/2016 11:34

I'm 5'7", 11st 9lbs (put on half a stone all around my middle 😡 since stopping smoking 7 months ago)
Size 14 bottom, 14/16 top (36F boobs - I hate wearing tight clothes)

TheCatsMeow · 10/01/2016 11:36

5"7
I think I'm 8st 13lb

Size 8-10. I would be an 8 but I have slightly bigger boobs so it skews it out a bit and makes it hard to get a good fit all over.

BoboChic · 10/01/2016 11:38

1m73
57kg
French size 40 (but I don't wear my clothes tight)

loopsylala · 10/01/2016 11:39

I'm 5'5, weigh just over 15 stone and I'm a size 18 all over. :(

My mum seems to think that everyone of the same height should be of the same size :(

Redcrayons · 10/01/2016 11:39

5'10. 10.4 stone this morning
Mostly a 12, but can get into a 10 in some shops.
My last clothes purchase was an age 14 Xmas jumper from the girls section of H&M! Fits perfectly.

ylimintin · 10/01/2016 11:40

pinkpoppy I've put on weight since I quit smoking just over a year ago too. I guess we're still a lot healthier overall but it feels quite unfair to me! Sad substituting fags for biscuits

chipsandpeas · 10/01/2016 11:40

im 5ft 5 - 13st7lb at the moment, trousers/jeans a 16 leggings a 14
tops 12/14 depending on the shop

Twinklestein · 10/01/2016 11:42

5'5", 7 st 11, size 6-8. Boobs 32E/30F.

DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel · 10/01/2016 11:57

5ft 5. 11st 10 size 14 top and 16 bottoms. I can fit into 14 bottoms, but they can be a bit uncomfortable.

tabulahrasa · 10/01/2016 12:00

5 ft 7.5, 10 1/2 stones...I'm a 12 pretty much everywhere.

Peevedquitter · 10/01/2016 12:05

I'm 5ft 4.5 and about 9 st 8. I wear size 10 but some size 8 clothes are okay. I'm heavy for me at the moment and my body shape has changed since menopause. I used to be an 8 and as small as a 6 sometimes.

Fallstar really it would be more helpful if people got out their tapemeasures. I used to be when young 34 24 34 last time I measured I was 36 28 36 but that was a while ago.

Fallstar · 10/01/2016 12:24

Good point, Peevedquitter. Measurements are bound to be more indicative of size.

I have noticed my waist has thickened a bit as I've got older, too. Just did a quick waist check and it's 28.5, so a few inches bigger than pre-pregnancies and menopause.

So 5'5", just under 9st (usually 8st13), 28.5 waist and size 12.

My clothes aren't particularly loose, tbh, but I don't feel constrained either.

Jivetoes · 10/01/2016 12:26

vanillabeauty · 10/01/2016 16:58
