I am 5 3 and 11 5. I am 16/18 and "see" myself as a barrell, not curvey or anything flattering, I AM ROUND. I am, however, work in progress Grin.

awaywego1 · 07/06/2012 21:49

I'm 5 2 and 9 6" at the moment, see myself as curvy at the moment but not overweight-am aiming for 8 11" and some toning Grin

awaywego1 · 08/06/2012 14:30

Would anyone of you little people like me :) be willing to disclose their measurements and where they measure from i'm probably being a bit thick but i dont really know where you are meant to measure..ie.when i measure my waist around tummy button its around 34" but i only wear a 30" waist so i dont know whats going on there!

accidentalchickenkeeper · 08/06/2012 16:20

I'm 5ft 2 and a half inches tall. I weigh 10 stone 1 lb (have lost 4lbs in the last week or two)
I see myself as getting a bit chubby. Would like to be 8 and a half stone but will be happy with 9 and a bitSmile
I don't measure myself anymore, I used to have a 24 inch waist pre dc but those days are long gone Grin

24HourPARDyPerson · 08/06/2012 16:23

I think you are supposed to measure the thinnest part of your waist AwayWeGo - result!

I don't know how much I weigh or measure but I take a 10 or a 12, and and 5ft even, would like to get to an 8/10. I would like to achieve this by lying on the couch eating biscuits.

KateSpade · 08/06/2012 22:43

Theirs one thing i don't understand about myself in particular, in 5ft +1/2 inch (very important) I weigh the most out of all the posters, (not saying what Blush)

But most of my clothes are a 12, some a 14. Im not squeezing myself into them by any means. Its Hmm. I see myself as needing to loose a good 3 stone though.

I am 5' 3" and weigh 8lb 13".

I wear a size 8/10 depending on where the "waist" fits. I have no hips but a 31" waist Sad. I look a bit shit at the moment.

Whippoorwhill · 09/06/2012 10:12

I'm also 5 feet and half an inch. :)

I weigh 12 stone 1 lb and am a size 16 on the bottom and 18/20 on the top. I've lost 2 stone low carbing and have at least 4 stone to go.

kickingKcurlyC · 09/06/2012 10:29

I'm five one and I weigh, hang on I'll weigh myself... seven and a half stone. I'm an 8.

KateSpade · 09/06/2012 19:56

I weigh around 11.5 stone, (ish) and i bought a dress in a size 12 the other day, and it fit perfectly, not too tight, no squeezes or rolls hanging over, its strange, i do see myself as a lot bigger than i used to be...

I'm a 5fter weigh 9 stone, want to weight 8stone 4lb ideally. Currently can just squeeze into my size 10 clothes. I'm the wrong side of 40, in my 20s I was never more than seven and a half stone, in my 30s that went to about eight stone, then after my second DC I'm the size I am, he is 3 no excuse.

tennesseyhennessey · 10/06/2012 10:03

im 5ft and 1/2 an inch too! i weigh 9st12.6lbs, currently doing ww online have lost 21 lbs. I currently wear a 12 but they're starting to feel like there's some room having said that i have been to 2 shops recently and brought size 10 clothes. When i started i was 11 1/2 stone wearing a verytight 14, realistically though i was probably a 16 but refused to buy 16 clothes!

GreenEyesAndHam · 10/06/2012 10:18

I'm 5ft 2 (only found that out last week, for years I thought I was 5ft 1) and I weigh 8st 11.

I've lost just over a stone in the last 8 weeks through low carbing, and this has taken me from a size 14 to a 10- I've lost 5.5 inches off my stomach so you can guess where I carry my weight! Grin

BetterOnACamel · 10/06/2012 10:27

5 feet and 0 inches - weighing in at a petite 6.4 stone.
Super fast metabolism from dad's side - and have difficulty putting on weight (not a lot of magazine articles deal with that end of the scale though :( ). Nothing from the high street fits (except from the kid's section - a bit upsetting in your mid-30s). And now TTC so trying even harder to pack some weight on. Depressing.

jellibelli · 10/06/2012 11:46

I'm 5 1 and weigh 8st 3ish. I'm a daily weigher Blush and it fluctuates. And I am experimenting still with diet and exercise so my weight is still dropping slowly....

I wear an 8 but sometimes need to go bigger to fit the norks in (reducing them was one of my main reasons for losing weight in the first place). I have lost over 2stone recently and have a muddled body image. Sometimes I look great and toned, sometimes I look wobbly and loose. I think I am beginning to get it that my boobs are normal sized now, at least to look at if not by size although I should know better to believe the myth that the average lady wears 36c. I think I am starting to get there and believe what I see in the mirror.

Ifancyanewname · 10/06/2012 11:53

I actually measured myself this morning after a few weeks of running and Jillian michaels and I weigh 11st 7lb and I'm 5ft 4".
My chest measurement is 39 inches (this fluctuates though because of still bf) waist is 33, hips 41 and thigh is 25 (i used to have a 25 inch waist so I find this one particularly upsetting!)

Ifancyanewname · 10/06/2012 11:58

Oh and I generally take a size 14

KateSpade · 10/06/2012 15:41

I'm not bothered about how much i weigh, its how i look i'd be happy with all my proportions staying the same, but my stomach being flat. Its frustrating, when you have NO metabolism at all!

OP posts:
KateSpade · 10/06/2012 15:42

Well, obviously i am bothered about the numbers, but you know what i mean.

I dont want to be stick thin, i just want to be nice and curvy, like Kim K!

OP posts:
Chestnutx3 · 11/06/2012 13:56

Sorry to disappoint but I think being only 5ft "nice and curvy" just doesn't work, there just isn't enough height to us! Too skinny I look like a kid/boy and just a bit too much weight and I end up look very round. I married a nice tall man with nice tall females in his family, vain hope that my DD isn't as short as me.

peachypips · 11/06/2012 14:33

I am 5 ft 2, weigh 11st 5 and I am a comfortable size 12. As you said katespade it is peculiar as I def don't l

peachypips · 11/06/2012 14:34

Whoops! Def don't look like I weigh that much according to friends. I wonder why some people weigh the same but look smaller or bigger? I wonder if it's my boobs - at a 32 GG they must weigh a bit!

YouveCatToBeKittenMe · 11/06/2012 15:38

Oh a shorties thread...goodeee

I'm 5 ft 1 and a bit and weigh 8 stone 12 ish.
I have recently lost half a stone through just exercise. I would like to get down to 8 stone 7 or 8 but i am feeling more toned already. I have no idea what measurements I am. I am quite stocky looking I think. I don't have much waist but at least my tummy is getting flatter!
I am usually a size 12 but I haven't bought much recently so might be a 10 now.

I am feeling quite cheered up by the fact that my weight seems about right compared to everyone else of the same height.

KateSpade · 11/06/2012 23:37

Well, Chestnut. Kim Kardashian, is lovely and curvy and only 5ft2 ish. Thats always something to aim for!

GG Wow, they must weigh a bit! Peachy
