If you are 5'2 or thereabouts, what weight gets you into a size 16?

Curious to know as I haven't been a 16 since about the year 2000

5'2" and at 13st4lb I was a size 12-14 or a W30 in jeans. I reckon I'd have to be around 15st-16st to be a size 16. Apparently I'm made of lead 😅

Fascinating how much body shape comes into it though.

Hoppinggreen · 29/12/2024 19:26

It amazes me how different these all are.
I am 5ft 3 and weigh around 15 stone, I am a size 16

I've always been someone that 'weighs' a lot when comparing dress sizes and overall body shape to others.
I'm currently a 16 and weigh 15.5 stone and I'm 5'7. I'd like to get 2 stone off and back to 13.5 when I can then fit in a 12/14. That's my most comfortable weight but it's been a rough year and my weight has increased.

I always remember when I was in my 20s and a size 10 me and a friend were the same size and borrowed each others clothes yet I easily weighed maybe 3 stone on the scales more than her!

Crazy isn’t it. At the same height and at 12 stone my waist is 34”! And I consider myself to have an hourglass shape……I go in at the wast for sure!

OhcantthInkofaname · 29/12/2024 20:30

About 50 pounds more than I am!

Why did you feel the need to post that?

User37482 · 29/12/2024 20:57

11st 5lbs size 16 bottom in next. I think I’ve lost and gained weight so many times that I basically have very little muscle mass.

Notsurename · 29/12/2024 21:04

Just got into M&S size 16 jeans and at 5’2” I weight 12st 7lbs . Lost 3 stone in 5 months and started at a tight 20. I’ve lost it all in my thighs and bottom- not waist or tummy unfortunately.!

zeibesaffron · 29/12/2024 21:12

I am 5’2 and was a 16 at about 14 stone - I have size 38 LL bust so it does skew things a little!

CleftChin · 29/12/2024 21:21

5'1" and 88 kg (so I think just under 14 stone) and 16-18 (16 in supermarket clothes, 18 in 'proper' places)

I've always run a bit dense though - heavier than I look.

I seem to remember being a solid 14 last time I was 78kg (hopefully be there again by Easter)

buttonousmaximous · 29/12/2024 22:00

My dd is 5.2 she weighs 9 stone and is a size 10.

Sorry Mis read the title

MerryChristmasYaFilthyAnimals · 29/12/2024 22:03

Such a range of weights for the sizing.
Im 5ft. I fit a 16 comfortable at between 13stone and 14 stone. Still in my 16s at 14st 9 but some 18s too.

JustWalkingTheDogs · 29/12/2024 22:04

5'3" and a size 16 weighing 13 stone

TwinklesToes · 29/12/2024 22:04

I’m 5.0 and 11 stone 7 pounds and size 18. I’m an apple shape.

JennyPenny222 · 29/12/2024 22:06

Around 12st

orangetriangle · 29/12/2024 22:06

I have put on a bit of weight over Xmas but 5ft 2 and 12 stone gets me into a 16 though not on the top as broad with big boobs so 18 more comfy have slim legs though and tiny wrist and ankles really funny shape want to get back down to 12 stone at least by the summer about 12 and a half at the moment really struggle to get to and stay at 12 stone

orangetriangle · 29/12/2024 22:08

to add i seem to lose the majority of my weight on my arms and legs where I would like to lose it on my tummy and chest!!

StevieNic · 29/12/2024 22:09

11.5 stone. It’s my big waist though as I’m not hourglass, measure 14 everywhere else

louderthan · 29/12/2024 23:34

Just to illustrate how mad sizes are, I'm 5'8 and am a size 16 at 12 stone

IReallyNeedThisToWork · 30/12/2024 17:47

5’2” and a comfortable (loose ish) 16 around 12 stone.

lleeggoo · 31/12/2024 15:20

Thanks everyone - it's incredible how sudden we all are even at the same height/size. I'm currently loosing on mounjaro so interested to gauge where I'm going clothes wise!

I was floating around the 11st mark when I was a 16.

Microgal · 31/12/2024 15:30

Saschka · 28/12/2024 23:06

Yep, I’m 5’1 and weigh 11st, and I’m a size 10-12. I obviously have heavy bones! I was a size 8-10 at 9st, so I imagine I’d need to be about 13st to be a size 16.

Yeah I’m 5.2 and a half and weigh 9.5 stone and I’m a solid 10.

Crikeyalmighty · 31/12/2024 15:34

I'm 5ft 3 - 14 stone 2 - sometimes a 16 and sometimes an 18
