5ft 4 and 12 stone - what size would you think would fit?

[Jenasaurus]

I ask this because I am the same height as a colleague and recently have lost 2 stone (now weigh 12 stone), I had a health shock in July, where I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol, fatty liver etc - proper wake up call.

Now my weight loss is about health and not how I look, but it would be nice to be able to shop in main stream shops rather than the plus size stores.

Even though I weigh 2 stone 4 less, I am still a size 41inch waist which makes me a size 20. (I have stick thin arms and legs)

My colleague went to slimming world and we were discussing our lifestyle change and diets, she is the same height as me, but never really looked fat even though she said she was 15 stone before, she said she has now hit her target of 13 stone, and doesn't want to lose more or she starts looking gaunt, she is a size 12/14 and a stone heavier than me but the same height.

I beleive to be a size 12 I will need to lost another 4 stone and be about 8 stone, I just wondered how typical this is for someone of 5ft 4 and interested to know if you are the same height/similar weight to me what your size is

I'm same height as you and carry my weight around my middle. I am 11 stone and size 12. Size 12 starts to get a little snug around 11 stone 6lbs. So I guess I would be a size 14/16 at 12 stone.

Yes I know what you mean, I guess I will just carry on eating healthy and exercising and see where I end up. I have to do this for life with my health conditions so although I want to lose weight, its more about reducing visceral fat and cholesterol as opposed to looking good ( would be nice to be able to wear a nice dress at Christmas though :) ) I have some images of me 6 weeks ago, hang on I will show them I was 2 stone heavier then

I'm only an inch taller so 5ft 5 and I weigh 13 stone give or take a couple lbs. I'm a 14/16 bottom but a 10/12 top and a 12 in dresses usually. When I was slimmer I was about 10 stone 10 which is my healthy bmi and I was a 10/12 bottom. I carry all my weight on my thighs, bum and hips but not my waist. I can get away with crop tops at the moment.

I'm 5'4 and weigh 10st 6lbs and am a size 10 on top but a size 12/14 on the bottom ( pear shaped) I've got friends that weigh 11 stone and wear size 10 so it just depends on your body shape a bone structure. I have big hips so never can fit into anything smaller than a 12.

I am 5'3" and weigh 10st 11lbs.
But because I am an "apple" shape with a 40" waist I have to take an 18/20.

When I got divorced years ago I went down from size 12 (9 stone) to size 10 - 7.5 stone, but I looked very gaunt.

I’m also apple shaped, but my waist is about 40” at 5’4” and 13st 10. At 12st I’d be a size 16.

just realised the dress one has my tiktok account on it, how do i delete it please

I'm 5 foot 1 and 11 and a half stone. I'm about a size 12/14 but I think that's because my fat is more evenly spread and I'm curvy/hour glass. Definitely not in denial but I don't look particularly fat even though my bmi is classed as obese. We all carry weight differently. My waist has always been small though. Could it be certain foods that are making you bloated? Exercise may help you tone up too. You could build muscle on legs and reduce belt fat to balance out a little. Well done ok the weight loss! It's an amazing achievement!

This is me. I'm a large 12 small 14

At 10.7 I'm a 10

9.7 I'm an 8

@Jenasaurus you can't see your Tik Tok username it's blurred out.

ok, thats alright then :)

So much depends on build, where you carry the weight, muscle density etc. I’m 5 foot, just over 8 stone, used to be a LOT heavier. Lost boobs and arse when lost the weight (not happy about that aspect!) but am an apple shape so a size 16 waist, 10/12 top, 12 bottom.

I'm 5ft 4.

At 12 stone I was edging on a 16.

At 11 stone I'm a 14

At 10 stone I'm a large 14

At 9 and a half stone I'm a 12

At 8 and a half stone I'm a 10

I've changed shape though as I used to have boobs and now they're non existent so my 9 stone now is probably larger than my 9 stone when some of those stones were boobs.

This is so odd. I'm 5'4 and currently weigh 12 stone and lbs
I wear a size 12 currently but can squeeze into some size 10 clothes.
At my lowest weight I was 9 stone 10lbs and was a size 8 then

I’m 5ft 4, 12 stone 10 and a size 16. I’m also Apple shaped with tiny legs and arms. If I was 12 stone I imagine I’d be a comfortable 16 large 14!

I'm notably shorter than you also had a baby over 10lbs and my stomach is absolutely knackered with flabby loose skin. I hate it

It really depends on your build and where you carry your fat. Size is just a number. I could never fit into a size 8 because of my hips ( even at 8 stone 7) As long as your healthy, it doesn't matter what size you are.

It’s amazing how different shapes make all the difference in clothes sizes, I’m the same height as you but 7lb heavier, I’m a 14 on bottom and 12/14 on top. 34 inch waist, I have big arms, bum & legs

I'm 5'4'.. at 9st 4 (my lightest ever!) I'm a slim 12. 12 still at 9st 10. Above that a 14 up to about 10st7.. currently 11 stone and not buying clothes so wearing oversized dresses.

I'm 5.5 and about 12 stone. I'm a 14.

I’m 5ft 3 and 15 stone and a size 16 hourglass

Same height and weight and a 14 which is too big in the waist. I'm an hourglass though and carry the fat all over.

I'm 5ft5 and 11st and a size 14/16.

I'm an apple. I'm 5ft4 and weigh 12 stone. 10stkne 5 is my ideal, as I have large boobs and never drop below a 38DD (not even when I dropped weight to just under 9st). I look like a lollipop if too slim.
When I weighed 13st I was 40inches round the middle but when I started pilates and was swimming I swiftly lost 5 inches. I still feel my middle would benefit from a few more toning exercises.
By way of background, I have had 2 c-sections, and my legs and arms are quite toned. Upper thighs measure 20inches. My trunk is a mess and I spend a lot of time working on my core.
