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

5'7"
9 stone 5lb
size 8 - 10
30E

Funny thing is, when I weighed just over 8 stone (10 years ago) I also fitted a size 8 - 10 and my waist and hips were a good 4 inches smaller then!

5ft 7 and just under 9 stone. Take an 8-10 everywhere. More like 8 in dresses, 10 in some trousers/jeans.

fakenamefornow · 10/01/2016 19:39

5ft 3in, 9 stone, about a size 10.

5ft 1
9st 8
34FF

Mostly im a 12 for tops and 10 for bottoms. I find next and m&s come up big, the younger shops I.e. Topshop, miss selfridge are smaller in comparison

If I could get back down to 9st i find I could probably fit into a 10 in most places

Size 12 or size 14 depending what shops I'm in but I don't like my belly so sometimes buy size 16 to cover it up
I'm dieting at the moment, want to be 10st 5 at least

Purplehonesty · 10/01/2016 20:35

I'm 5'3"
Weigh about 8.5 stone
Size 8 in most shops or 10 in some (mainly for skinny jeans)
I need to lose half a stone really to get back into most of my clothes but I can't get around to it because I can't be bothered

stqueen · 10/01/2016 20:43

5ft 3in
7st 9lb
Size 8 in most shops, but I like the oversized look with jumpers etc. so mostly opt for the size up. I hate tight clothes.
I always weigh more when I'm exercising properly - muscle weighs more than fat & all that.

MariaV0nTrapp · 10/01/2016 20:51

5ft 5
Size 20
Too ashamed to weigh myself but I'm guessing around 19st. I fit into the clothes I was wearing pre-pregnancy and my baby is 6 months now so at least I'm not any fatter than I was before I got pregnant.

6 years ago I was
Size 10-12 a comfy 12 though at 12st 10lb

JaceLancs · 10/01/2016 20:54

Branleuse · 10/01/2016 20:57

5ft 6, I think im 63kg when i last checked, which ive just calculated is 9st 9.

I wear a size 12/14

kiwifluff25 · 10/01/2016 20:58

5'3", 9st 5lbs, usually size 8-10 but 6-8 in Primark and ASOS. Hourglass-ish figure (muscular bum and legs, small waist big shoulders ), usually a 34B but currently 10 weeks pregnant and I've shot up to a 34D!

Cerseirys · 10/01/2016 21:04

5'9, about 10st when I last weighed myself, prob a few lbs more now as I've been on holiday but MFP should get me back on track. After having DS I went from 34D to 34DD and am now 32DD. I was always around 11st but after having a baby that BFed every two hours like clockwork for the first 6 months, the weight fell off! Sizing-wise I have every size from 8-14 in my cupboard but I'd say I'm probably about a 12 in general.

BlueEyedWonder · 10/01/2016 21:06

5ft and 7 stone 4.
When I last got a tape measure out, I measured 30 round my bust, 24 round my waist and 33 round my hips.
I'm generally a 6 or an 8 wherever I shop. I buy from petite ranges mostly. I find I need a 6 in Boden but sometimes an 8 in their dresses. M&S I always need a 6. Topshop, I need an 8 in their skinny jeans and skirts but a 6 in coats and jumpers. Next generally a 6.
There are lots of shops I don't bother looking in these days as their clothes hang off me due to vanity sizing.

ivejusthadacake · 10/01/2016 21:15

im 5 ft 8
9 stone 10 lbs
usually a 12 in every shop
large ribcage and big frame.
flabby flanks and stomach, boney sternum and collar bones. a true apple!
feel best at 9 stone.

Notanangryone · 10/01/2016 21:32

This is really interesting.
Im 5'6. 54kg and I wear an 8 mostly. A 6 in Gap.
My torso is really long. Most tops are too short. My hips are narrow, I think. I just measured them at the widest part and they are 32 inches. Boobs-waist-hips are 30-27-32.i wanted to buy jeans online, but not sure if 28 inch waist jeans would fall down at my hips.

Judydreamsofhorses · 10/01/2016 21:55

Five foot six
Anywhere between ten and ten and a half stone depending on time of the month - ten stone five when I weighed myself yesterday but am in the middle of my period.
Usually a ten on top, 12 on the bottom - small waist and big hips/bum
