how big do you think I look?

[WipsGlitter]

Sometimes I think I look huge other times ok!

I know I need to lose some weight but I find trying on clothes so confusing! I guess it all depends on the cut!

[WipsGlitter]

I'm 5ft 5 and a 16!

[DaisyFranceLynch]

Maybe a 14, assuming you're average height - so medium with curves and a defined waist.

[DaisyFranceLynch]

Oh sorry, cross posted.

[Thefitfatty]

I don't think you look "huge" by any stretch. You're not thin either. You're (like me) delightfully medium. :)

[LaPharisienne]

I'd guess 16 but I guess how tall you are would make a difference.

[Vixxfacee]

16

[NickiFury]

I think 14/16.

[Just5minswithDacre]

A good, proportionate 14

[Just5minswithDacre]

Oh you already told us

[Only1scoop]

Curvy

A comfy 16

Sometimes get away with 14?


You can tell I'm similar

[Voteforpedr0]

14 - 16 depending on shop, you have a great shape just could do with some toning

[PamBagnallsGotACollage]

Well you don't look big, Wips. Im 5,4 and a 12 and my waist is, for the time being, lost to post baby cake consumption.

[burnishedsilver]

You're not huge but you're not at your fighting weight either.

[WipsGlitter]

I'm pretty slim front to back, definitely not an apple shape. I've slim wrists and forearms but leg of lamb upper arms!

I know I'm not at my "fighting weight" (Great way of putting it) but I'm just so tired all the time I can't really motivate myself to either diet or exercise properly.

Couch to 5K here I come (again)!!

[Only1scoop]

'Leg of lamb upper arms'

[Thefitfatty]

I actually think your upper arms don't look to bad in this picture. :/ Certainly you look proportionate.

[Lweji]

It depends which fighting category you go for.

If you look ok to me, and I'd worry more about being fit than the weight itself.

[Only1scoop]

I think they look fine too

[YoureSoSlyButSoAmI]

Yeah I'd have guessed at 16.

Her arms look OK in the picture but I'm guessing when they're hanging straight down they look bigger. I always do the trick of lifting them slightly to the side to make them look thinner too 😄

[NewStartNewName]

You could try 5:2, it takes very little effort and works well, then as you see results the motivation to tone up comes

[Ramblesoften]

You look a perfect size.
A fab shape !!!!!

[TheoriginalLEM]

You look "right" if that makes sense. I thought a 16 too but quite trim with it.

[WipsGlitter]

I tried the 5:2 but really couldn't see any difference but might try it again.

[LadyAntonella]

You look lovely (I realise this makes me a smug-o as I also said you look like me ). I am a smidfen overweight too (and am working on it) but only a few lbs now, nothing terrible. Good luck with c25k! I hope you enjoy it. I've recently started going to some classes at the gym again and feel so much better even if I look the same. You honestly don't need to change how you look though if that's what you're worried about.

[Thefitfatty]

I think you'd benefit from exercise more than a diet. :)
