Height weight and dress size..?

Just that really. I'm interested to know what your dress size is and your height and weight. I was talking to a girl at work yesterday and she was surprised at my weight because I'm a size 8 -10 (I'm 5 ft 5 and weigh 9 st 7) she's the same height, weighs 8 st 7 and is a size 12 so she guessed I would weigh less than her. I'd like to know what your height, weight and size is please? I know body shapes are all different but just thought this'd be interesting perhaps......?

Pre-pregnancy I had lost some weight and was doing a lot of running. I got to 11 stone, 5ft 6", size 12. I felt healthy. But a LOT of people said I looked skinny or unwell. That was very strange. I had never been so healthy. Now I'm very pregnant I don't dare weigh myself but I have ballooned everywhere!

5ft10
14st 7
Size 14 bottom, 16 top (boobs!) but it's always baggy on my waist

PurpleDaisies · 07/10/2017 12:46

5ft7, 9stone7, size 8/10. I'm a 30F so tops can sometimes be a problem.

Polly99 · 07/10/2017 12:46

I'm 5 foot 5 and 65 kilos which I think is around 10 stone 4, currently a small size 12.
I am an hourglass though - if my hips and shoulders were not so wide I'd be in a 10.
I am quite muscly too.
Will be a size 10 by Christmas (bone structure willing) as am shrinking my bottom.
Was previously 78 kg and asize 14 but I think was probably at the upper end of that since it took a lot to get to a 12.

BamburyFuriou3 · 07/10/2017 12:51

5'6" , 9 stone 2,

size 10-12 and bottoms size 12-14 top!

How am I not a size 10 all over?

Polkadotties · 07/10/2017 12:55

5ft6 currently 11.0 stone and 8-10.
When I'm back at my more comfortable weight of just under 10 stone I'm more of a solid 8 sometimes a 6. Under 10 stone and I'm a 28 or 30 bra size

SorrelForbes · 07/10/2017 12:57

5'4", 8st 10lbs, size 10, 8 in some shops

ImogenTubbs · 07/10/2017 13:12

6ft. Think I'm about 14st 10. Size 16 (although can vary from 14-18) depending on the style.

I could do with losing a couple of stone but can't bring myself to get too worked up about it. Particularly as I've just found out that I'm pregnant. Oops - did I type that out loud? BlushGrin

MegRichardson · 07/10/2017 13:17

5'5" just over 10 stone size 14, sometimes size 12 on top.

MegRichardson · 07/10/2017 13:21

It always seems to me that people who are my height and either weigh more than me or the same weight are often in smaller clothes sizes. It's just not fair :(

If I wanted to be size 10 again I would have to weigh no more than 8 stones.

Yazoop · 07/10/2017 13:30

I am 13.5 stone and 5'9. I'm currently a 12 top and 14 bottom. Of course, this can vary dependent on the shop but by measurement this is what I am roughly.

I've lost two stone over the past two months, but even at 15.5 stone I was still wearing a size 14 (albeit they were starting to get tight, hence the losing weight!)

You can't really tell much by weight, really. People distribute their weight in different ways and two people weighing the same can look remarkably different. I'm fairly tall and distribute my weight fairly evenly, apart from big hips/bum/boobies. While I was definitely starting to look a bit porky at my highest weight, I have smallish shoulders, narrow waist and a slim tummy so it can be deceptive when I'm actually pretty darn overweight (and easy for weight to sneak on over time). My arse seems to remain fairly massive regardless of how low or high my weight is Confused

My mum is naturally petite amd 5'3 and would view 11 stone as being a heffer!

MegRichardson I'm the same.
The last time I was size 8 I was 8 stone 2, and had just finished being inpatient from anorexia....

Fantasticmissfoxy · 07/10/2017 14:32

xqwertyx · 07/10/2017 15:29

@MaMisled awesome well done! Hoping to follow in your footsteps!

JennyOnAPlate · 07/10/2017 17:27

5ft 7, 17st 3, mostly size 20 although have some size 18 stuff too.

I’m on a weight loss mission (a stone down so far) and would like to be a size 14 for my holiday next August. Watching this thread to see if I can get an idea of what I’ll need to weigh to be a 14!

fishonabicycle · 07/10/2017 17:43

5'1. 7 stone 5 pounds. Size 6.

Octopus37 · 07/10/2017 20:00

5ft5 8st11 down from 9st7. Getting towards a size 10, prob still need a 12 sometimes though. To be a definite size 8, I would need to weigh under 8st, not sure I will get below 8st7

OwlinaTree · 07/10/2017 20:14

5ft 4.5/5 weigh 9st 1.5lb. Usually size 10. My waist is larger than hips and chest, so some styles of dress I might be an 8, sometimes I might be a 12 to fit the waist. Generally a 10.

It really does depend on where you shop though. I've got some size 8 shorts which are exactly the same waist as a size 12 denim skirt from a different shop!

OwlinaTree · 07/10/2017 20:15

My waist is not actually larger, just proportionally so!!

EmmyInTheSticks · 07/10/2017 20:18

5'2
9st 2lb
Size 12

Planning to lose a stone to bring me back into a size 10.
