5ft 4 - what size are you

Hi

I've been losing weight for just over a year now. I've gone down from 17st 3lbs to 12st 11lbs.

Just wondering if you're around the same height what size are you at what weight.

I'm wondering what size I may get down to. Ideally I want to get down to 10st 6lbs. I've only got down to a size 16 so far. I don't do much exercise, which I imagine isn't helping shifting the inches.

I'm an apple shape, which isn't great either. 36 inch waist 😩

Particularly interested in those between my current and goal weight... Of those who may also be on the lazy side with exercise 😂

At about 10st 6lb I was in an old size 12, with 35" hips 23" waist and 34" boobs. I went weight training 4 times a week, though.

HansZimmerframe · 19/09/2022 14:05

I am 5'4.

Highest weight 209lbs (14.9 stone) Size 20-22

Current and lowest weight (maintained for a year) 116lbs (8.2 stone) Size 8

Meceme · 19/09/2022 14:06

Currently 5ft 4, 12 6 and size 14/16.
When I was 10 7 I was a size 10/12 depending on retailer and style.
9 8 was a solid 10 (very occasional 8)

Jamaisy82 · 19/09/2022 14:08

5 ft 4 I'm happiest and look my best between 9 and 9 and a half Stone.
Currently 11 stone as just had a baby a week ago where I went up to 12 and a half Stone. I usually hover around 10 Stone naturally.

PickAChew · 19/09/2022 14:13

Also 5'4. At your goal weight I was a 14-16. All boobs and belly.

A stone under that, I'm still a 12-14. The belly isn't going anywhere (loose skin and fucked abs) but the boobs have shrunk, though being through menopause may have contributed to that.

Don't just focus on clothes size, though. My knees suffer when I'm overweight. It's much less tiring and painful having less of me to carry around.

Nidan2Sandan · 19/09/2022 14:16

I'm a little shorter at 5ft 3in. I weigh around 11st 3lb & wear a 14.

I do fit into a size 12, but I prefer my clothes baggy.

Ship · 19/09/2022 14:19

I’m 5 foot 4. I weigh 8 stone 10 and am size 8. At 9 and a half stone I was a size 10

Echoes89 · 19/09/2022 15:42

I'd love to be a 10, but I think that's unrealistic for me. Would be chuffed to get to a comfortable size 12

I'm 5'4" and 10 stone 7lbs. I'm a 12 on top and a 12-14 on the bottom. Feel and look my best at around 9 stone 10lb x

cannotfindanickname · 19/09/2022 17:16

I am aiming for 10 7 too.. I was 11 7 earlier in the year and size 14. I have put on a little bit though and currently 11 12 and 14-16. Before having children i was about 9 - 10 st and size 10-12.

Mushroomlady · 19/09/2022 17:18

7 stone 6. Size 6

thesunwillout · 19/09/2022 17:23

10st 6
Big hips and thighs small back big ish boobs.

12 on top
14/16 on bottom

I got to 9st 10 once and was still a 14 on the bottom half with ridiculous gaping jeans at the waist

polkadotpixie · 19/09/2022 17:27

I'm 5'3 rather than 5'4 but I'm currently 10st 5lbs and a size 12

I feel my best around 9st 5lbs and a size 10

mamatoTails · 19/09/2022 17:32

I'm also 5ft 4, and a similar weight. I was 12st 7, now 12st 4. But I am hopeless and can't ever get much lower.

I do walk a lot, but pick when I'm at home. Really need to be more disciplined and sort myself out.

I'd love to drop 2 stone.

imsureineverdo · 19/09/2022 17:35

I'm the same height, size 6 but quite big boobs so don't really look a 6. No idea what I weigh sorry.

PortiaWithNoBreaks · 19/09/2022 17:36

9 stone 12lbs/63 kg. Size 12, occasionally a 10 but I lift heavy weights which has subtly changed my shape. So often have to size up on top because I’m wider across my lats and shoulders.

Ideally would like to shift some fat and be around 60kg but can’t be bothered with the effort required.

fallinover · 19/09/2022 17:39

I'm 5"4.
I'm currently 120lbs ( about 8 and a half stone I think)
I think I look best at 8st straight.
I'm a size 10 at any weight up to 9.5 stone, then I needed to buy new clothes or slim down.
I've been slimming down on noom.

gwenneh · 19/09/2022 17:42

Size 8-10 depending on manufacturer, weighing 9 and a half stone.

Devo1818 · 19/09/2022 17:43

I'm about 11st 3, same height as you. I'm a 12-14. Depends on the clothes, 12 is sometimes snug and 14 sometimes loose.
I'd love to be 10st 6 again! I was mostly a 12, some bits in a 10.

coolcahuna · 19/09/2022 17:49

Same height and weight as you and I'm a 16, sometimes a 14. A stone lighter and I'm still a 14 just go in a bit more at the waist.

Bottomofthepileasusual · 19/09/2022 17:50

I'm around a 14 bit I need to lose quite a bit.

You need to exercise which will make you look much Byers than if you just lose weight.
Weight is size exercise is shape.

Pipersouth · 19/09/2022 17:54

Same height as you I’m 12 and a half stone - tight size 16 biggest I’ve ever been but have been 10 stone 2 and only just got into a 14 - it all depends on your weight distribution

Imissmoominmama · 19/09/2022 17:56

I’m 5’ 3 and 11stone 3lbs. I’m a comfortable size 12.
