Size 12 and weight please

[CambsAlways]

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'm 5ft7 or 5ft 8 (between the 2) and weigh 10 stone 2lbs and am a size 12. I'm a pear shape - slim on top but bigger on thighs and bum.

Around 11-11.5 stone for me (5'7") creep up to a size 14 at 12 stone

I'm 5"8" and 12 stone and still in my size 12 jeans however it's important to remember that nowadays everything has Lycra etc in it and it depends what type of clothes youre wearing / where you buy from.

I was a stone lighter in the summer and still in a size 12, they're just getting uncomfortable now. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't fit into a pair of fitted size 12 trousers with no stretch. Diet starts as soon as kids are back at school!

5ft 8, 11st 8 ish. That's a BMI around 24 I think

5ft 8 size 12 and 63 kg

I'm 5ft 7 and 10 stone. I'm a size 12, very occasionally a 10 if it's a big size 10. Mostly slim but with a wobbly belly! I was a size 18 a year and a half ago.

Amazing loss @Yourownpersonaljesus how did you do it if you don’t mind me asking?

I'm 168cm which is 5 ft 6 I think. I weigh 72kg atm and that is roughly a UK 12 - can be a 10 on the bottom in big fitting shops like Next, can be up to a 16 on the top in small fitting (and ladies motorcycle jacket) brands.

As you say it depends where you carry your weight - I have a 30 inch waist, 37 inch hips, 39 inch chest. Other women the same weight might have bigger hips and thighs but a smaller waist and chest, resulting in possibly a bigger trouser size for hips and thighs but smaller size on top, or whatever.

I walk a lot and have reasonable muscle tone except for a wobbly tummy (3 caesarean sections).

It depends on your age and whether you have been pregnant too I think - I'm the same weight as when I got married but I tried my wedding dress on out of interest and it doesn't do up. It does seem to be true that pregnancy - perhaps especially several pregnancies with large babies - expands your rib cage permanently! My feet are also bigger than at the same weight pre children (wedding shoes don't fit either!).

Amazing loss *@Yourownpersonaljesus* how did you do it if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you. I started by cutting out snacking during the evenings. Then stopped eating cakes and crisps during the day and just generally ate less (and more healthily). After a couple of months I started counting calories. I also did YouTube workouts at home. I lost 3 and a half stone but it took about a year. I've managed to maintain since, though have struggled a bit over Christmas.

At 8 weeks post partum I am (just) a size 12.

I am 5ft 6 and weigh 12st 6 but I am losing weight. I’m happiest at a size 10-12 and 10 stone. But my shape has completely changed post pregnancy, my hips and ribs are wider and my normally modest boobs are HUGE which may mean I’m never in my size 10s again!

Bluebluemoon you have hit the nail on the head a lot of clothes have Lycra so you can actually think you are smaller ( namely me !🤣🤣 as I’m putting on my jeans

@Yourownpersonaljesus thanks for that. Nice and simply done! Best way.

5’6 and 70kg , Sz 12

in size 12 and 5ft 7. I'm 68kg or 10st 10 lbs at the moment.
skinny legs and small bum, but carry it on my hips and I have broad shoulders / quite muscular upper body. I wish I carried it in my legs and bum!

Size 12. Approx 70kgs. I’m tall (5’11). Once I go above about 75kg I need a 14. Bit of a belly and big arse.

I am 5'7 and a size 10-12 (12 on top, 10 on bottom) and weigh 10 stone.

5ft7 11stone 8pounds and I'm a size 12

Big boobs, small waist and unusually "big" legs

I do think it depends where you shop as well. This thread is quite interesting!

I'm 5ft1 and am a size 12 between 9 and 9st7.

I have a 15 year old csection overhang and even in the 8stones my bottom half prefers a 14!

I am able to wear my bridesmaid dress from when I was 15 so I haven’t changed shape too much, but the lycra thing is true. I’m a 12 in my non stretch jeans, but with obvious overhang at the top end of the weight!

I am 5’8 and 9st 4 and a 10-12 depending on the shop.

Size 12 at 10.4-11 stone (6ft)

I wear levi 501s - no elastic or lycra - 30 inch waist so I don't think it's a lycra phenomenon meaning I'm a 12 ish (as I said 10 on the bottom in Next/ Hush but 12 most places, 12/14 on the top but occasionally 16 in motorcycle jackets and certain dresses to fit the top chest without gaping.

Its a lot about where your weight sits. Small hips, thighs and bum, comparatively speaking, make for small-for-weight clothes size but is sadly a less healthy body shape especially if at all overweight.

I’m 5,4 and 10 stone exactly, size 12.
Huge arse, flat belly, chunky thighs and 34c boobs. Pear shape in other words.
I put a stone on during the lockdowns, I’m determined to lose it by Easter.

This is really interesting. I'm 5'7", 11st and a size 14-16. 4 years ago I was around 9st and size 10 and I was struggling to get into a size 12 once I hit 10st. I do have a very small frame and small bust so carry all my weight around my hips and stomach.
