Tall women- how much do you weigh and what is your clothes size?

I know scale weight and bmi isn’t everything but I’m on a weight loss journey and it would be helpful to know.

I’ve always been heavier than my shorter friends but have fluctuated up to 13 stone and still managed to fit into a size 12.

I’m 5 11 and nearly approaching my goal of 10 stone 7 at the minute and still a size 12.

I’d be interested to see if anyone else wants to share?

6ft 13.5 stone, size 16 sometimes 14 depends. Have been 10 stone and too thin. I dont look 13.5 stone i carry my weight well. Long legs, torso and arms. Dont believe in height weight charts, everyone has different builds

5’9”

11st 1

12 top 14 bottom

I fluctuate within a stone or so of this weight but still take the same size clothing. I was very ill in my 20s and went down to 8st 10 and still only got into 12 bottoms, and I looked awfully gaunt! I’m trying to get down to 10.5 stone currently, but it won’t affect my clothes size, only how they hang on me. I suppose it saves money buying new clothes! I’ve got broad hips and a small waist.

5’11, 11 st 6, size 12.

No idea what my BMI is. I’m not overweight, but feel better when I’m closer to 11 stone.

@Qbish : bone structure, how wide are your hips, waist, & shoulders ?

5ft 8in, 13 stone and size 16. Aiming to get under 11 stone. When I look at pictures of me back when I was 10 stone, I'm far too thin and look skeletal.

Wilkolampshade · 16/04/2023 11:24

175 cm
93/4 kg, so wobbling around 13 stone 2 on a lighter morning.
Aiming to get to 12 stone 7 for health as well as aesthetic reasons. I'd like to be lighter and will work towards it slowly.

I always wear huge clothes as I hate the feeling of cloth against myself so always try and buy 20 - 24... But out of interest recently measured myself and I was an 18 on the top half and 16 on bottom half.

5ft 7in and currently weigh 10st 3lb. I'm a 10 in tops and dresses but a 12 in jeans - childbearing hips as my mum would say. GP says my ideal weight for my height is 9 stone 11lbs so currently aiming to get there or thereabouts. IME anything below around 9 stone 3lbs and I start to look a bit gaunt and people say I look 'tired'.

5ft8, 96kg and a size 16 bottom, 14 top. Want to get to a healthy BMI ideally, currently at 32. Even at my thinnest for getting married, by BMI was about 24 so think like others have said I tend towards the heavy side due to my substantial frame! I won't ever be petite so trying to be realistic about goals and making lifestyle changes rather than crash diets.

Seasonofthewitch83 · 24/04/2023 11:15

5 foot 10
20.5 stone
Size 22/24

Used to be more pear shape but since DD am bigger around the middle.

People are generally surprised when they find out my weight. I am very small boned but all my fat is pretty 'solid' if that makes sense?

gettingoldisshit · 24/04/2023 12:12

5"9 13 stone and a comfortable 14, tight 12

Wide hips and shoulders, narrower waist. I'm an hourglass shape.

10 stone 7

Size 10/12 depending on brand

Bigger bone structure although described by others as as slim. Smaller on top, larger hips and thighs. Narrow waist. To get the perfect look I want on hips I become scrawny and bony on top as am broad shouldered, so 10 stone 7 is OK for me.
