I would like to ask 5ft 8" women how much they weigh if they are a size 14, 16 or 18

I know sizing is not an exact science but I wondered what women actually weighed at those sizess. I'm much bigger and wanted to kno roughly how much I had to lose. I've looked up bmi charts too.

Thanks

13.4 stone and 5'8" (also attempting to address, but have just stopped AD tablets which were making me gain in a major way.)

I am a size 16.

IAmNotDarling · 21/01/2015 04:33

Size 16
13st 3lbs
Vanity size 16
Skinny legs, huge tummy and hips.
Desperate to get down to 10st and be 10-12 again but worry about a wrinkly face Grin

MrsHooolie · 21/01/2015 14:14

Lol @ retro diet!
I'm amazed how different all the replies are considering we're all roughly the same height.
I'm 5ft 9 and an apple shape. Slim legs but massive tummy.
At the moment,12st 9 and a size 16.
Hoping to lose a couple of stone,I'd love to be a comfortable 12.

peaz · 22/01/2015 14:16

I am a size 12 bottom, 14 top, weight 11 stone 3lbs

olivesnutsandcheese · 22/01/2015 19:42

I'm 5'8 and weigh 10stone 2 at the moment. I'm a comfortable size 10 in most things and hoping to lose a bit more weight on lc boot camp. I used to be bigger and still get drawn to size 12/14 things in the sale but they fit v badly now. Which is all fine except for DM will still buy me size 14 pjs and underwear just to give me a complex Hmm

nether · 22/01/2015 19:46

5ft7

Norfolknway · 22/01/2015 19:51

SacredHeart · 22/01/2015 19:57

5' 8" and a size 14 - I weight 12st 6lbs.

OllyBJolly · 22/01/2015 20:02

Size 10 and 9st 5lb (sometimes a Size 12 in trousers )

Onelittlepiglet · 22/01/2015 20:35

I'm 5'8" and a size 14 and I weigh 11st 11 currently. Trying to lose some though, as I'm more comfortable as a size 12. Had dc2 8 months ago so most of my weight is round my middle meaning that even size 14 waists are a bit tight sometimes. Blush

invisiblecrown · 22/01/2015 20:36

I weigh about 9 stone and am a size 8.

StellaGibson · 22/01/2015 20:38

I'm size 14 at 12 st and size 12 at 11 stone.

hslsascsas · 22/01/2015 21:04

Well my mum is 5 ft 7 and size 12/14. She weighs 12 st and she calls herself fat, but I say she's normal sized or slim

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 22/01/2015 21:07

I am five foot seven, nine and a half stone and an M&S size 10 which is probably a 12 elsewhere. I have one pair of Next size 8 jeans, but next sizing is huge!

RufusTheReindeer · 22/01/2015 21:10

5 foot 8

Have ranged in adult weight from 8.5 to 13.5

From a size 8 to a 14 bottom and 16 top

At the moment I think I am about 76 kilos (afraid to weigh myself in stone!!!) a size 12 bottom and 14 top depending on the shop

Last year at 11 stone 2 I was still the same sizes (but they were a lot more comfortable Grin)

spookyskeleton · 22/01/2015 21:15

I am about 15 stone and a size 16. To be a size 12 (my aim) I would need to be about 11-12 stone... Maybe one day I will get back there Hmm

Shirleycantbe · 22/01/2015 21:20

I weigh 9st4 and am size 10-12. My max weight has been 10st3 when I was a large 12.

Siolence · 22/01/2015 21:24

Exactly the same as gingingin. Some 10s. 4kg off and I'll be be very happy.

Kleptronic · 22/01/2015 21:25

5'9" and 11st 6, size 12, although some empire lines are tight round my ribs below my breasts. I have big ribs! I do yoga/pilates 3 times a week though and I think that helps with my waist/belly.

Kleptronic · 22/01/2015 21:27

My arse is great though! Bless the pilates. It's bloody brilliant for a decent arse. And core, I mean core.

Peedie · 22/01/2015 21:28

5' 7" here. I'm 14st and a 16 top and bottom, but 16s are starting to feel loose, yay! I'm the lightest I've been for years and I intend to get down to a fit size 14 at least. I reckon I'll need to be 13st to achieve that.

RonaldMcDonald · 22/01/2015 21:38

I'm 5 91/2 ad weigh 10 stones...sometimes I need a 14
depends on the cut and tittage doesn't help
i still like the pinch an inch test

Effic · 22/01/2015 21:45

5"8'
11 stone 4
32G boobs
Size 12 top, size 10 bottom in most shop but top varies as to how much stretch/give there is in it!

Used to be 13 stone 6
36 HH
And was size 16 top and 14 bottom

SauvignonBlank · 22/01/2015 21:49

Between 10.10 and 11.3 depending on how good I've been etc, I buy a 12-14 but I'm quite wide hipped and shouldered, and it depends which shop as they're huge variations.
