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

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

@TeaAndBiscuitsAndWine you are very kind. Yes I am hourglass I just wanted the OP to see it's more about body shape as I am a stone heavier than her.

I'm the same height and weight, but my weight is evenly split all over me. I have a natural hour glass shape.

Do the smaller sized ones same height and weight, all have flat stomachs? I blame my middle son, he was a 10 pound baby and my stomach hasnt been the same since :)

I’m 5’4” and float between 8.5 and 9 stone. I’m a size 8-10.

Had a C section with DS who was 9lbs 13, but fortunately my stomach is fairly flat naturally without much effort on my part.

I think it’s just genetics unfortunately.

I am you height, 9’11 and mainly a 10. Depends on shape muscle mass etc. 8 stone is for much slighter builds than me!
