What’s your clothes size?

I’m 5ft 1 and having lost 2 stone and 2lbs on MJ, I’m now 14 stone and wearing a comfortable size 16. I was an 18/20 at 16 stone, 4lbs.

Of course it’s all got to do with your build but just curious as to how others clothes size are in proportion to their weight.

Yes I am…size 4.5 in shoes and what my mum used to describe as ‘dainty hands’.
Weirdly when I first started losing weight, it came off my arms wrists (I’d have much rather my hips!!) and I could tell because I had to tighten my watch strap twice.

However even though I’m petite, if I go below 10 stone, I start to look really scrappy and scrawny. I’m aiming for 10.7 stone as last time I was there, I remember feeling really comfortable in my own skin.

That’s really unusual , your bmi would be about 27, so still quite overweight, and with a small frame as well to look scrawny below this.

I’m 5/5 and started at 14st 11lb, size 20, I’m now 9st 8lb and tops are between a 4/6 and an 8, bottoms 8/10.

blackwhitepink · 31/10/2025 19:40

I’m 5’2, 12 and half stone and wear 14-16.

Clicheinaqashqai · 31/10/2025 19:42

I was 108kg, 5'9 and an 18 sometimes 20

Now 83kg and a 14

Want to get to 70-75kg and ideally a 12 and then I'm done

JohnTheRevelator · 31/10/2025 19:55

I'm 5 ft 5 inches and weigh 13 stone 7 lbs. I'm a size 16 in most clothes, very occasionally a 14 or an 18, depending on where they're from. I was 20 stone 7 lbs at my heaviest and was a size 24/26.

SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter · 31/10/2025 19:55

I'm not on the jabs but I am trying to lose weight. At my heaviest I was 13.2. Now I'm 12.3. I'm still in the size 16 clothes I was before but while I could barely squeeze into them at all a couple of months ago I now can wear the tops fairly comfortably (another 3lbs off should have them fitting properly I should think) and I can squeeze into my jeans if I don't mind not being able to breathe for the foreseeable, and bumping my elbows against my huge muffin top. 11.7 would have my size 16s looking their best on me I think. Less than 11 stone and I'd officially be a 14. I think I'm 5ft 6.

StrongLikeMamma · 01/11/2025 05:29

Im 5ft 8 - at 14st I wear a size 18.

MarmaladeTeepee · 01/11/2025 05:47

I'm 5ft 3.5 started off at 15 stone 5lb - size 18-20.

Currently 11 stone 13lb and size 14-16 (probably more 14 as a lot of my 16s are too big now).

Initial goal is to get into the healthy BMI range which will put me into a size 12 but think if I get below 10 stone I should be a size 10 which is very tempting!

spoonbillstretford · 01/11/2025 06:00

I'm 50 and 11 stone and 5'7", size 10-12, mostly 10s now. Previously was 13st 4lb and a size 14-16. BMI is now 24, was 29.

A funny thing yesterday. I went to put the pumpkins and candles out front, then came back in and thought I was checking the live doorbell footage for trick or treaters. I saw this woman walking away down the drive and thought "That's odd." Took me a moment to realise I was watching myself a few minutes ago, I looked so slim in my gym gear that I didn't recognise myself! I even move and walk differently.

MummyInTheNecropolis · 01/11/2025 08:30

I started as a size 24 (which were getting tight)! Am now a size 12. I’ve lost 11 stone 9 pounds so far, have about another stone and a bit to go until target (which should bring me to a size 10). I’m 41 and 5’8”.

HappyWineDay · 01/11/2025 08:46

I moved up into a 40” waist trouser and at 16st realised something had to be done.
Now 12st 7lb and 34” waist are getting a bit loose. BMI still 27 so a bit to go.
Shirts have gone from XL to M.
It’s costing me a fortune in clothes which have only been lasting a month!

Almost2026 · 01/11/2025 08:48

Started at 20st wearing 22 on top and 24 on bottoms, now mid 14s wearing 16 on top and 18 on bottom.

nellietheellie75 · 01/11/2025 08:53

Started at 14st 12 and size 18/20, XL/XXL, 36HH

I’m 5ft 8 and just tipping into a size 14 now, after almost 25 years as a 12.

EdinaTheConfessor · 01/11/2025 17:37

I’ve lost 7 stone and have gone from a 18/20 to a 8/10. I’m 5’4 and weigh 8.5 stone.

CanTheCanCan · 01/11/2025 19:10

I’d be hapoy to be a size 14 smile 🙂. I’m 5 ft 6 in.

I’ve lost 2 stone - 14 stone to 12 stone Currently a small size 16 still (from a big 16/small 18.)

AmythestBangle · 01/11/2025 19:16

5 foot 3
Lost just over 2 stone
Went from size 16 to 12 (M&S sizing. Wearing Brakeburn jeans size 10 today!).

somethingbeginningwithb · 01/11/2025 20:11

5ft 5.
Started at 15st 6, size 18 was getting tight.
I have lost exactly 5 stone, so I'm now 10st 6 and wearing a size 12.

TrinityWaves · 01/11/2025 20:32

I'm 5'6", I started off just under 19 stone and was a size 22. I'm now around 11 stone and a size 10/12. I'm aiming to get closer to 10 stone, so not a massive difference to now so I think I'll still be a 10/12.

ShrankLastWinter · 01/11/2025 20:36

172cm (just over 5’7”), 71kg (11stone), 12/14/M/L. Waist 75cm. BMI 23.9. Body fat 26%.

At 104kg I was a size 18/20.

I’m not dainty. Size 41 feet, big hands, big head, wide shoulders, hourglass, muscular.

I suppose if I lost another stone I’d be a size 10 despite the shoulders, but it wouldn’t suit me. I’m already starting to get the thing where my head looks a bit too big for my body. In maintenance now and concentrating on fitness and health.
