If you’re 5ft 6 or 7

[Shedcity]

What do you weigh and what dress size are you?

I know there’s lots of other factors but I’m
mainly asking because I’m trying to lose weight for my friends wedding and I’m just wondering what dress size I may be by then if I keep on track.
Also I’m just curious, it’s so interesting how everyone’s bodies can be so different!

I’ll go first! I’m 5ft 7 and I weigh 11.5stone I’m a size 14.
even at my thinnest (around 9.5-10st) I don’t seem to go lower than a size 12.

obviously size doesn’t actually matter, but I’m just interested!

5'7" and 13 stone bang on. Size 16. Age 45.

The last time I was under 11 stone I was travelling in Asia with a tummy bug and hadn't eaten properly for over 3 weeks. I genuinely don't think my adult body is supposed to be like that!

Am now training for a marathon so will see if I can get there again but in a healthier way.

I’m 5’7” and weigh 14st. I’m a size 16 and hate it every single day!! I look horrific.

I was 9.5st just before getting pregnant and a size 8. I’ve started Noom. I’m hoping to change my mindset and get back to my original weight

Some people weigh less than I have done previously. But are a larger size than I was at that time.

And some people here are size 10-12 (my goal) at weights that I would (and have) look(ed) unwell at and could probably never ever get to now, though I do feel that the dress size is achievable.

i suppose what I’m taking from this is that it doesn’t matter whatever the scales say whilst I’m trying to lose weight or whatever my dress size. It looks like it would be difficult to guess for most of us and there’s not a set answer. Lots of us are similar sizes but there’s such a variation in weight here and we all carry it differently.

5'6 and 8st9. Dress size 10 or S usually.

5’6”
9st 13
before youngest 9st 7.

34b, 28 waist and 39 hips. Waist 26 / hips 37 before children.

wear size 10

5ft 7, 11 stone, size 12.

5ft 6, and currently 10 stone ten. My happy weight is about 10/3. I’m usually a 10 top, sometimes a 12 in bottoms. My waist is 29”, bust 32D, hips and arse absolutely gigantic.

In my case, it's weights. Ive always worked out with weights. I have a multi gym similar to a Pilates Reformer, I do HIIT, run occasionally and walk at least two miles a day in addition to normal activities.

The last time I had my body fat measured it was 24% & my lean muscle was in the exceptional category which isnt bad considering I'm over 50.

All that muscle weighs a lot so even though I'm heavy, a lot of it is muscle which is smaller tgan fat, hence smaller clothes.

Speaking of which, I like to wear mine fitted but possibly on the looser side on my top half due to broad shoulders, big bust etc. which needs roominess to not feel uncomfortable.

I'm 5' 7" and weigh around 16 stone. I usually wear a 16/18. I've always weighed heave for my size as I'm quite muscular

I'm 5' 5" and weigh 14st 10, I'm 69. I was a lot heavier and diabetic, but been on a low carb/low calorie diet and lost a stone in 3 weeks. I was a dress size 22 but now size 20. Hopefully I'll be around 12st/12st 7lb by the mid to end of the summer and back to a dress size 16. I'm comfy with around 12st.

I've noticed that women who look absolutely huge take smaller size dresses than me. It amazes me. I have a friend, bless her who looks ginormous, she admits herself she's huge. She weighs about 19st yet she takes a size 16. Thats over 4 stones heavier than me!!!!! I have no idea why she can get comfortably into a size 16, because I couldn't. I don't look my weight people are usually surprised if it crops up in conversation.

5’6 and usually sit around the higher end of 8 stone. So 8 st 9-12lb and wear size 8.

Currently size 10/12 and 10 stone 3 at the mo though (4 months after giving birth and really cba to eat well or exercise) xxx

5’6”, 12st 4lbs. I have big boobs (38ff) so 16-18 top, 14-16 bottom.
@GrannySmith i completely agree! I don’t understand it either!

5ft 7, 10 stone 8 ish, size 10, fully fledged member of the itty bitty titty committee.

Im still 5ft 8, 😂 i've lost some more weight so I'm now 9 stone 13lbs.

still can't get size 12 trousers to comfortably fit or zip up at waist band.

My size 12 jeans can not yet be buttoned.

I can see ribs without stretching and bones poking out on shoulder blades.

i'm literally just "big boned" and boxy shaped. so unfair!!!

Im not being rude but those over 10 stone 7 who are size 10, where do you carry your weight? Chunkier legs? More fat distribution to arms? I know it's a really stupid question as there are so many different shapes/sizes.

I'm 9 stone 13lbs , 5 ft 8 and have slim limbs but carry all weight below ribcage and at top of hips - Im also very short -torso/boxy shape.

Think I'd have to be seriously losing another stone to get into a 10, that'd make me 8 stone 13lbs which I've been before but was told by my sisters I looked ill - i liked that weight on me.

I've gained a bit of weight recently- need to get my ass back the gym.
5'8" and I'm usually around 9.7-10 stone but at the mo I'm 11st according to the scales but still a size 10 jeans...how does that work?? I don't look that much bigger either so not sure what's happening 😂

@Chazx my weight spreads really evenly so that could be why for me. Generally speaking tho I've got a bigger bum/smaller waist

@Chazx i have a big bum and thighs, very pear shaped. Even when I was under eight stone and had very disordered eating I was still “hippy”!
