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.

I am 5’8.5. I weigh 9 stone 6, and at my absolute fattest, I was 13 stone 6. So I lost 56 pounds on MJ.

Believe it or not, I was still in a size 14 at my fattest and I’m only a 12 now.

It's really interesting isn't it how different shapes fit in different sizes?

I'm 59kg 5'4 and size 10.

Edit to add: forgot to do my start! Was around 100kg and a size 16. A fairly tight 16!

It’s really interesting and makes total sense, some people have wide skeletons, some petite.. some have long torsos, longer legs, bigger boobs, more bum etc..
Some people on here refuse to believe the factual stats sometimes and it’s frustrating. Err hello I know what I weigh 😂

Yes, I’m only about half an inch taller than you and weigh the same, but need 12/14 to your 10. I can see how, since it’s my wide shoulders and hips that need the extra space.

In one brand I do actually have size 10 trousers in a wide leg cut, because they’re neat on the waist and generous on hips. But they’re annoyingly shorter than in a 12, which were a better length for me.

HolidayHappy123 · 01/11/2025 21:49

I’ve gone from size 20 to size 12

ItsStillWork · 01/11/2025 21:52

I’m 5ft 8, weigh 11 stone 7lb (with clothes on)

dress size 12, occasional 14 (5% of my wardrobe is a 14)

was 17 stone 10lb and size 20 was becoming too tight

I have a really wide frame too so weigh more but it’s spread out, I work out too so the muscle takes up less space

5.7 , 86 kilos. 14-16. Was 106 kilos (tight)size 20. I didn’t need new clothes for ages, it was nice to fit into my stored size 18s. But I bought size 16 jeans a couple of weeks ago and they are already too big. So weird. No idea what bra size I am now. I’d just reluctantly gone into a 40 f before starting mounjaro, went back to 38 f a few weeks ago but now they are too big in the cup and back. I might try a 36e.

NewDogOwner · 01/11/2025 22:37

5 ft 2. Was about 15 stone size 18-20 with huge boobs and now, a year later, 10 stone 2 and 12 on bottom and 14 on top ( still have massive boobs so may be 16 in some tops)

I think it’s also where you tend to shop and how you like clothes to feel.

I hate (really really despise) any feeling of tightness on my waist, so will always choose a bigger size to avoid that. I also prefer my clothing to skim over rather than cling so again would choose the slightly larger size so I would say that most consistently I’m a size 12, but another person in my body might prefer a closer fit so would say they’re a 10.

Bellabluea · 01/11/2025 23:46

Im 6 foot tall and was 17 stone size 16/18
now I’m 14 stone and a 14/16. Still fit into most of my clothes but I look so much better in them!

Goal is to lose another stone but I never got above 5mg due to stomach pain everytime I tried so I’m stuck and seem to have plateaued. it’s taken me about 3 months to lose 3kg so I guess it’s going - just very slowly!

I can’t imagine ever being less than a size 12. That’s the smallest I’ve ever been as an adult when I was 10.5 stone.

This is fascinating! And well done everyone!

WearyAuldWumman · 01/11/2025 23:51

I'm 5ft 9. I was 16st 4 and wearing a size 22.

I'm now 14st and wearing a size 18, but a waist that is closer to size 20. FWIW, I'm definitely not big boned - I have skinny wrists and have always had to have links taken out of watch straps.

ETA Unfortunately, I'm not on injections. Would have liked to try, but I already have gastro problems.

Kazzaa46 · 02/11/2025 04:09

I’m 5 ft 5 and currently 10 st 11. I’m an apple shape so carry my weight on my middle and boobs. I’m about a size 12 in bottoms. A 14 in tops due to my large chest.

Normally I find that trousers fit my legs but are too tight on my waist. However since being on MJ I’ve focused on a lot of leg exercises and have managed to build some leg muscles to balance my body shape out a bit. I tried some size 12 trousers on in Next which fit my legs but were too large on my waist which is a first for me. I do find Next clothes run large though.

MountKilimounjaro · 02/11/2025 04:53

This thread is so interesting.

I’m 5ft6. Started at 18st size 22 and am now 9st13 a loose size 14 (probably more like 12).

I think @InfoSecInTheCityis absolutely right, where you shop and how you like your clothes to fit makes a big difference.

At Zara and Uniqlo I’m a Large, most places a Medium. In very high end/expensive shops I’m an XL.

I like my clothes to skim my body and hang slightly loose so for that reason I’m only just venturing into 12.

I have a kind of elongated hourglass shape. I love my trousers to sit on my hips rather than on my waist.

Theredjellybean · 02/11/2025 07:21

I'm 5ft 3 and was 76 kgs and a 12-14 (definitely more 14) when I started. Now 61 kgs and a size 8-10.
Even my feet went down half a size which is so wierd

Flakey99 · 31/10/2025 17:31

@threeeggsontoast. That’s interesting. Are you quite a petite person generally (small hands and feet?)

I’m 5’2” and was just under 15th stones and size 20/22. I’ve got big hands and size 8 feet.

I’m currently losing on MJ and 13st 6lbs and a size 18.

I’d need to be 12.5 stones to wear a size 16. 🙁

I’m your height and was the same starting weight as you. Now 10 stone 6 and size 14. It seemed to take an age to get out of size 20.

That’s another good point yes, I like fitted clothes unless it’s an oversized jumper.

5 Ft 3 Tall - Started off as 17stone 8 and a size 18/20
