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

5'6", about 8 stone 7.

I wear a size 10 generally to accommodate breasts, shoulders and bottom but my waist is about a size 8ish. 30E bra. I have long legs and arms but a really short torso.

Really interesting as Notanangryone is pretty much my height and weight but clearly a totally different shape. I'm more like 35 - 26 - 36.

Blueeyed You are really skinny! I'm 5ft too and 8stone but my hips are 37 inches. My waist is 27 inches. I'm athletic and pear shaped :( , which means I end up having to wear size 10 (or dare I say size 12 petite skinny jeans from Next). Have you had kids? Because I felt my waist and ribs and everything else has widened since having babies and your 33 inches waist is just TINY.

Largemelons · 10/01/2016 23:55

6'
Currently around 14st 10 and a size 16.
Before Christmas 13st 10 and a 14
I've been as low as 10 stone in adulthood and never smaller than a size 12.
Ideal weight for me is around 12 stone.

marghini · 10/01/2016 23:56

5'7" and around 56 kg. I wear a European size 36, which is supposed to be a UK 6 if I don't go wrong!

marghini · 10/01/2016 23:58

I googled it and 56kg should equal 8.8 stones.

Monica101 · 10/01/2016 23:59

5'2 and 9 stone. Size 10/12 depending on which shop.

I'm dumpy at this weight as I am small boned, I need to lose at least a stone.

Rueben · 11/01/2016 00:20

5'5, 8 stone, and usually a size 6/8

SpecialStains · 11/01/2016 13:10

5'4, weight 54kg and can wear anything from a 6 (next sizes are massive) to 12 (sometimes find topshop runs smaller). Mostly a size 8/10 though.

cheapskatemum · 11/01/2016 20:49

Conveniently, I had a health check up at the Drs today and it's all metric there, so I'm 165cm tall and weigh 62.5kg. Bra size is usually 34EE, but I find there's huge variation in different brands and styles. Oh and though mostly a size 12, I like to buy knickers a size bigger as I hate vpl.

cheapskatemum · 11/01/2016 20:52

Measurements: 36 - 28 - 36in inches. I think a yard = 90cm? & 28" must be about 65cm? I love how we are all still enmeshed in imperial vital statistics!

Equiem89 · 11/01/2016 20:58

5ft6
10.7 stone normally around 10.2 but I went on a two week all inclusive holiday in Mexico and then it was Christmas :D need to get my arse in gear and get back under 10 stone. Just signed up for BIWIs bootcamp
I'm a size 8 on top, 30FF
Size 10 on bottom but only because I have big legs, my waist bands are loose. I have a pair of jeans from next which are an 8 but I know their jeans come up big

dun1urkin · 11/01/2016 21:10

As an aside, does anyone know if shoe size relates to frame size??
I'm 5ft5, about 10st 7 (66.7kg)at the moment (was 10 st mid-Dec and am looking to get back down)
I'm a 10 sometimes, mainly a 12 bottom. 12/14 top. 32G boobs, and to go back to my first ponder... size 8 feet.
I'm hoping that someone will come along and say that big feet compared to height (like I have) means I'm big boned hahaha

TheCatsMeow · 11/01/2016 21:31

dun I'm not sure, but I'm tall and fairly thin (5"7 and 128lbs, size 8-10) and I have long thin 7 feet. Take from that what you will!

I know wrist size is meant to show frame size. I have tiny child like wrists!

dun1urkin · 11/01/2016 21:37

My wrists are unremarkable. My hands are massive Grin
My feet are narrow, too. Either a blessing or a curse, depending on how much I spend on shoes (I find cheapo shoes are wider, expensive ones narrower)

skinnyamericano · 11/01/2016 21:38

This website or similar always comes up on these threads.

Interesting to see the difference in how people of the same height and weight look.

skinnyamericano · 11/01/2016 21:44

Sorry, this one is better!

acatcalledjohn · 11/01/2016 21:55

5'10"
Currently size 14 at 12st 13lbs (82kg) but on a health kick to get down to my former 11st 3lbs (71kg).

I had a pair of high waisted GAP jeans delivered today in a 31/34. They are a bit long (love GAP for that) and a tad on the tight side. I always thought I was too young for a muffin hiding high waist, but how wrong I was.

StellaAlpina · 11/01/2016 21:58

I'm pregnant right now but usually I weigh around 51/52k and i'm 5'3" and a small 32b. (I've gone up a whole cup size I hope it lasts a while!)

I usually wear a 6/8 in more grown-up shops (e.g M&S) and 8/10 in young people shops (e.g. Topshop).
