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......?

5’4, 8st1 and size 6-8. It must depend on your shape though, I’m curvy with big boobs so I guess I carry a lot of my weight there.

5'4", 9st 7 and now wearing size 10 pretty consistently but nowhere near an 8, though some have too big a waist. In May I was 11st 8 and a 14.

It’s a weird one - I am 5.8, 8 stone 4, size 8 or 10.
My grown up daughter is taller than me, weighs 10.5 stone, and we share a lot of clothes.
And she looks way better in all of them...

I'm 5' 7", 9 st 2 lbs (this morning). Size 8 (mostly) 10 sometimes.

PricklyCacti · 16/10/2017 10:50

5ft 4, 12st 7lb and a size 14.

DaisyRaine90 · 16/10/2017 10:57

5 ft 3, 10 stone 12, BMI of 26.6 I believe, big 10/small 12.

BitOutOfPractice · 16/10/2017 10:59

These threads only serve to show that weight really is a bad indicator of anything.

I', 5'7" weigh 10 stone 12 and I'm a 12-14 depending on shop

moonlight1705 · 16/10/2017 11:04

I haven't lost the weight yet but I'm 5"6, 20st 3.5lb and a size 20/22 in most shops (top 20, bottom 22)

When I was a size 18, I weighed 18st, when I was a size 16, I weighted 16 stone.......looking forward to seeing if this holds true for size 10 when I eventually get there.

In the process of losing weight, currently down 2st4lbs Grin so am now 12st1lb at 5'8.5" and wear a size 10 with a little room to spare Grin (was a 12, and some of those were a little snug!!)

Originalnamechanger · 16/10/2017 11:14

5’2, 9st 1 and I’m a 6/8 depending on where from.
I do a lot of running and weights though

Shows the variation! Shock

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 16/10/2017 11:27

5’7”
9st 4lb
BMI just over 20.
UK10

I’m a bit pudgy for me. I’m more comfortable between 8st 8lb - 9st.

n0ne · 16/10/2017 11:57

5'3", 10st 12lb, size 12

OurMiracle1106 · 16/10/2017 12:03

5ft2 9st 5. Size 8 bottoms and size 10/12 top as have a chest and 8 is too tight across.

10 months ago i was 12st 2 and a size 16

Very proud of myself. Still losing weight. Would like to hit and stay between 8st4 and 8st10.

SpongeCake23 · 20/10/2017 17:35

5'6. 15 stone. Size 16/18 depending on the shop and brand. Need to lose weight. No motivation.

AccrualIntentions · 20/10/2017 17:39

When I'm not pregnant - 5'10", 16-18, 16.5 stone. Always massively heavier than everyone else including most rugby players but meh, I still have a waist to hip ratio of 0.75.

calamityjam · 20/10/2017 18:17

I am 5feet 3 inches. I weigh about 10 1/2 stone.size 8 - 10. I have very dense bones, so do my kids. They all used to surprise everyone when they were little. They would weigh loads but be thin as rakes. I genuinely look quite thin but probably come up as overweight on bmi.

IKnewTheStorm · 21/10/2017 06:12

I am 5’8 and weigh 11 1/2 stone. I can be anywhere between a 12-16 depending on the cut. More likely to need a 14-16 on top as I’m a 34G.

I need to lose 1/2 stone but it won’t make much difference to the size I take.

Cagliostro · 21/10/2017 06:30

Beginning of the year I was 20st pretty much dead on, size 20 generally. I'm 5ft5ish so BMI in the 40s.

Now 17st 8 but can't tell you dress size as I'm 37w pregnant :o but my stretchy jeans from before still fit.

Really intrigued to see my size (and weight) after giving birth (tomorrow Shock :o)

Cagliostro · 21/10/2017 06:31

Oh yes forgot to add, more likely to struggle with tops as also big boobed (38 J I think)

GrumpyOldFucker · 21/10/2017 07:01

5’ 2.5” 8st 9.4lb size 8 - 10

Trying to get back below 8 7. Ideally I think I’d lose another half stone but I think I’m getting too old, it would show on my face.

I was always around 7st in the early eighties and then was a steady 10 - I only once got into a pair of size 8 jeans.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 21/10/2017 07:03

I am 5’5 / 168cm. I am currently about 9st10 (62kg) and size 10 but am usually 9st (57kg) and size 6-8. Trying to get back there!

Monzeitia · 21/10/2017 14:14

I'm 5'6 8st10 35-25-34 and I wear 6 bottoms and 8 to 10 tops and dresses, I'm very hourglass and carry most of my weight on my boobs
