That is a great loss, well done! You look amazing and I hope you feel great.

This one is just about on the money. 13st 4lb (in the morning!). Size 12-14 in clothes.

I love absolutely all of you saying ten and eleven stone though, I wish. 😅😍 And I have been as much as 14 and a half.

My goal weight is 11 stone - BMI 24, though I may possibly go to 10 and a half. Currently just into the 12s, which I'm delighted about.

I’m 5’2, about 10 and a half stone and am a size 12. We must carry our weight very differently if you’re 5 inches taller and 3 stone heavier!

My measurements were more 14/16 if I'm honest then. 12 was a bit optimistic though some size 12 stuff certainly fitted. Some of my size 14s were tight I'm size 10/12 now. 10 tops 12 bottoms usually. 12s feel generous.

But yes people do carry weight very differently, a lot of mine was on my legs as well as body, I'm very dense (!) and 5" of height makes a huge difference.
