5"7' and was 10st 12ish pre-pregnancy, size 12 in some more generous shops and 14 in others, bust 34F.
Haven't got on the scales since I was about 20 weeks.

JamieVardysParty · 24/08/2016 13:11

5ft 9, 162lb which is about 11st 8 I think?
Size 12 (in places like Topshop, River Island etc) Size 10 in Next, M&S.

Looking to get down to anywhere between 140-150lb depending on how I look in clothes etc.

I'm 32H so I'm always a 12 on top regardless of my weight.

idontlikealdi · 24/08/2016 13:22

This is interesting

5ft 71/2, currently 15 stone after holiday (which will be shed soon!). usually around 14 stone.

Size 16 in Next, M&S, can get in to a 12 or 14 in Sainsburys where they seem to be massive, bought a size 14 dress last week.

At 12 stone I was a size 12 top and 14 bottom.

I'm pretty fit - muscle density / body shape and type must have a lot to do with it.

I'm 1m76 and weigh 64-65 kg depending on my time of the month. I was 76kg in february!
I have clothes in a variety of sizes from 10-16.. my wardrobe has been tweeked recently due to weight loss though. and i prefer not to wear anything very tight.
And a dainty shoe size 6 Smile

Range between 54-58kg (roughly 8st 5lb - 9st)

NattyGolfJerkin · 24/08/2016 14:33

Shoe size 4.5 or 5 depending on the style/brand

Weigh 10 stones, clothes size 8=10, shoe size 5
Bra size 30G

lisbapalea · 24/08/2016 14:49

5ft 8in and prob 12 and a half stone but have been 12st within last 6mths, size 14 generally but have a few 12s and 16s in the wardrobe. Was 14st 18mths ago and was a proper 16 then.

Just got back on the low carb wagon so expect to get back down to 12st quite quickly but would love to get down to 11st which will be below my wedding weight when I was a very comfy 12.

lisbapalea · 24/08/2016 14:49

Oh and shoe size 6.

I8toys · 24/08/2016 16:00

5ft 8 around 9st 8 - can be 6/8/10/12 depending on shop. Size 6 feet and boobs 38C

Myrobalanna · 24/08/2016 16:06

5'7" (174cm) and sadly right now I'm about 176lbs = 12st8lbs
It's the heaviest I've ever been and my joints hurt.
I know I look fantastic at around 147lbs (10st7lbs)

mando12345 · 24/08/2016 16:11

5'8"
9 stone 4lbs

Size 12 in top shop, whistles but an 8 in marks, primark, gap and the like.

Quite happy with this.

marialuisa · 24/08/2016 16:51

5'7" 57kg 28F and mainly a size 8. Occasionally a size 6 somewhere like Great Plains or FatFace that come up big, occasionally a size 10 if a dress is very fitted on the bust.

SouthernComforter · 24/08/2016 17:05

Gosh, sobering/inspirational.
5ft 8.
Mostly size 14.
80 kilos or 12st 5ish. I was 68 kilos when I got married but two small boys later I'm still replacing sugar with sleep.

I jog once or twice a week and do one circuit training class a week but I'd definitely like to lose a stone.

bigTillyMint · 24/08/2016 17:12

I am 5'8" No boobs, big thunder-thighs!

At 9 stone - 9 stone 7 I am an easy size 10
At 10 stone I am a good size 10
At 10 stone 7 I am size 10/12
At 11 stone I am a good size 12

MuchasSmoochas · 24/08/2016 18:38

I love these threads! 5.7, 10 stone, size 10 trousers but American footballer shoulders so 12-14 tops/jackets. And big boobage.

Boobs make a big difference to how slim you look. Wish I could go back to pre DC size.

ButtonLoon · 24/08/2016 18:47

5'8", 12 stone, size 14-16 depending on the cut.

Big thighs and shoulders. Waist fits a 12 for swishy skirts!

gincamelbak · 24/08/2016 18:52

5'7"
70kg/11 stone
31.5 inch waist
large knockers

size 12 bottom 14 top.

Making my own clothes I am a size 16/18 in patterns. Which feels a bit depressing as I am smallest I've ever been. But the clothes are tailored to fit me so look better.

In off the peg clothes I am not busting out of sizes 12 and 14, just pattern size seems much much smaller.

DomesticAnarchist · 24/08/2016 19:06

This is interesting...!

I'm with Athrawes in having to convert everything to kg! (Though UK based, where we use the metric system for everything else except body measurements apparently!)

Most fascinating thing is that (at a glance, I haven't counted) most people seem to report being a size 10 but with quite a range of weights.

To add mine: 5'7.5" and 57.9kg (mixed units!). Just coming down after having DC2. I'm fairly happy weight-wise but very wobbly round the middle.

I'd say currently size 10-12 (wearing mostly 12s to hide the aforementioned wobbly middle).

Thanks everyone for sharing.

witsender · 24/08/2016 20:10

Pretty hideous 90something kilos at the moment, 5'8". Think that's about 14.7 stone? Heaviest I have ever been...randing from about 9 stone when I had ishoos in my late teens, to 11stone ish steadily in my 20ies. This has crept on after baby #2. My eating habits are rubbish, but the last stone is pretty inexplicable as am eating much better, think it may be the Mirena I had fitted a couple of months ago.

Think I am.goinf to try cleaner eating for a while, aim for a pound a week loss until Christmas or something and see how I go.

Completely missed the point of thread in my catharsis, sorry. I am a 16, verging on 18 in some shops. Most of my weight is round my middle, my arms and legs aren't too bad.
