12-14?

How do you expect anyone to tell from that picture? Confused

12-14

Really difficult to tell in those clothes I'm afraid

JosellaPlayton · 01/11/2018 20:52

Impossible to tell from those badly fitting trousers and the fact that your arm is covering most of your body... I’d hazard a guess at a size 12 but it’s a real stab in the dark. Maybe try posting a better picture?

cheesefield · 01/11/2018 20:53

14?

SuperstarDJ · 01/11/2018 20:54

It’s hard to tell from that photo. Low-carb was the only thing that worked for me after DD1. I tried calorie counting and slimming world and didn’t lose a pound in 6 months and was convinced I never would. A mixture of low carb and spinning twice a week meant I lost 2stone in 10 weeks.

am currently 36wks preg so will have to do it all again soon. Have put on loads despite eating much better this time round.

14-16 with 14 if you shop in M&S, Next type sized stores...16 from top shop

LadyRochfordsSpikedGusset · 01/11/2018 20:57

I'd guess 14-16 here too OP.

SpiritedLondon · 01/11/2018 20:57

Size 12 - I’m a 16 and you look nowhere near as big as that. How old is your baby?

SpikyHair · 01/11/2018 20:59

I'd say 12 on top and 14 bottom?

IdahoCrow · 01/11/2018 21:00

12

Ivechangedmyname11 · 01/11/2018 21:01

You look like a 12 wearing a size 14. I think you’d look smaller wearing a better fit.

gilmoregal · 01/11/2018 21:04

Id say a 12 I'm a 12 and 5ft 1 and think I look about same also pp body but weight gain has been during maternity leave.

Not a great photo, but you don't look bad at all so don't beat yourself up OP.

ShirleyPhallus · 01/11/2018 21:05

You need to get far far away from those trousers OP, they’re hideous!

JuliaJaynes9 · 01/11/2018 21:08

I think about size 10 and I think you've got good legs underneath those trousers

WhatsGoingOnEh · 01/11/2018 21:16

I guessed a 14. Which fits if you've got 2 stone to lose to get back to a size 10, as (IME) 1 stone = 1 dress size.

You have a very flat tummy though! I'm well jel.

greendale17 · 01/11/2018 21:17

14-16

Baggy clothes are making you look bigger than you are and kind of dowdy. Embrace your body.

MoltonSilver · 01/11/2018 21:36

Post partum body is temporary. It takes time to feel like yourself again.

Ivechangedmyname11 · 01/11/2018 21:42

My bum has always been big aswell as my legs, used to have a nice waist, might try low carbing!! Any tips?
My style is rubbish now, i hate wearing what i used to as i feel it clings amd doesn't sit right

Skirts and dresses. Those trousers make you look way bigger.

spugzbunny · 01/11/2018 21:58

How many weeks post baby are you because it does take a while to shrink back but give it time! We aren't all rich with personal trainers and chefs! Also you'd look a lot lot better in clothes that fit!
