I’m in U.K. so it’s size 12Uk size I’m interested in, Now I am very well aware that everyone’s body is different inches and weight is distributed in different areas of the body, and obviously the sizes of clothes vary in different retail outlets, but if you don’t mind sharing your weight ladies that would be great esp if you are around 5ft 7 ins, I’ve just lost 30 pounds in 9 months

I don't think you'd be able to get s standard/good answer. I'm 5ft3 and when I'm a size 6-8 (UK) I'm about 60kg, 8-10, it's like 65, and 10-12 it's more like 70. At my lightest I think I was 52kg and a size 4, at my heaviest 84kg and and a size 14-16.

I’m 5’7 and when I was a size 12 (a long time ago Sad) I weighed around 11 stone 7lb.

SoftPillow · 03/01/2022 10:13

I'm a UK 12, weight on hips but flat stomach.

I weight 73kg. This is the heaviest I've been and I'm still a 12 when I'm 68kg.

Tillymintpolo · 03/01/2022 10:14

I’m 5 7 and around 11 and a half.

DropYourSword · 03/01/2022 10:14

I’m 170 cm tall which I think I about 5’7.

At 73 kilos I was a size 14.
At 53 kg I was a size 8.
I’m about 61kg now after Christmas and a size 10.
I think about 65 kg was a 12.

This. Or rather, I was before lockdown! Aiming for 11 stone 4 (ish) and size 12 and am getting there steadily.
Findingthelight1 · 03/01/2022 10:19

When I was a size 12 I was around 10st 7 to 11st (5ft 6). Above 11st my size 12s would be tight.

DoodleBelle · 03/01/2022 10:21

I’m 5’7 and usually around 11 to 11 and half stone and a size 12. I’m heavily pregnant at the moment though so significantly more than that now!

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 03/01/2022 10:24

5" 7 and 11 stone 7 to be comfortable in a 12

Octopus37 · 03/01/2022 10:31

5ft5 and 9st. I sometimes need a size 12 in trousers and skirts

Cloudsonhorizon · 03/01/2022 10:34

I am taller but about 70kg maybe 72kg at the top end of a 12 5'10. Still a 12 at 65kg.

Size 12.

BusterGonad · 03/01/2022 10:52

I'm 5ft 10, for me to fit a size 12 (Oasis, Topshop, River Island etc) I need be 11 stone and under. I do have big boobs which need to be accommodated for. But obviously shopping in M&S, Next etc I may get away with being heavier.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 03/01/2022 10:56

5'7" here. I'm a size 12 between 66-74 kg. Big bust, quite flat stomach, narrow hips.

SarahJessicaParker1 · 03/01/2022 11:00

I'm 5'9" and only got to a solid size 12 when I was about 10 stone! Quite big boobs and broad shoulders. I'm a bit overweight just now and a 16/18, but I'm within the healthy bmi range when I'm a 16. Happiest at a 14.

moochies · 03/01/2022 11:00

Size 12, 5ft5, 10st4.

rainbowandglitter · 03/01/2022 11:03

@moochies

Size 12, 5ft5, 10st4.
Size 12 , 5ft 5 and weigh 11 stone give or take a pound
LetHimHaveIt · 03/01/2022 11:16

I'm 5 ft 9 ins and was still - just! - a size 12 at 12 stone. I'm fourteen and a bit now (this will be my year!) and a 16-18. Closer to 18 if I'm honest :(

HeavyHeidi · 03/01/2022 11:18

Honestly really depends. I'm big boned and muscular, my friend who is just as tall with a small frame and doesn't work out. When we are exactly the same size so can swap jeans, she needs to weigh 10 kilos less than me.

Actually, this makes sense, as I was doing zero exercise when I weighed a lot less than I do now! So I was light but probably not carrying it so well. But even when technically underweight and a bit boney, I was only a 10/12... so I do think frame can make a difference too
