What size are you for your weight?

I’m 11 and a half stone and mostly a 14

5ft 2 and 11stone 3, mainly a size 16.

Like a pp I do need to lose weight for the sake of my joints.

In younger days I was 7.5 stone and mainly a size 10. Occasionally an 8.
6s didn't exist!

Illustrates dress sizes have changed.

5' 3 and 13 stone down from 20 with the help of WLI, size 18.

Hoping to get about 10 stone which used to have me at a 12/14.

suki1964 · 25/03/2026 21:34

Just over 5"1, weigh 60kgs ( about, I go up and down a couple of pound every month )

Size 8 bottoms, 12 max tops

at 11.5 stone I was wearing 16/18s

I’m 5ft 2 and 70kg. Sizing is all over the place depending on the shop! Normally 12 on top and 14 on the bottom but can only buy short leg jeans / trousers. I find H & M the worst for sizing. A size 18 pair of jeans only just fitted. My target weight is just under 60kg. I’m not happy with how I look at all at the moment.

5ft 2.6 and I weigh 72 kg. I am a size 12 but I am very muscular due to sport.

Snap, I’m 5.2 and 72kg and can wear mostly 12s but I have a low body fat, last time it was measured I was 18%

ThisMustBeMyDream · 25/03/2026 22:20

I'm also probably an anomaly. I'm 5ft 2.5 (158cm) and 9st 8/60ishkg. I'm wearing a 4-6 top, 8 in dresses and jeans. Although most of my jeans are 10s, but big now. I should probably replace them.
I also wear lots of kids clothes these days as a short arse with short legs and short bloody arms. I'm wearing age 11-12 and 12-13. Ridiculous I know, but it works. New Look is great for their teen range for basics. I've loads of joggers, tops and cardis from there. Even coats (which drown me if I can't find a petite size 6 anywhere).

I lost 7.5st, so do have a flabby tummy. Doesn't seem to cause any size issues though as it just sorta folds in and gets squished away 🤣🙈. I'm also fairly muscular in that I've been weight training 3x a week for 2 years as well as running.

It's fascinating how the same height and weight can give such different sizes and promotions. Most people think I'm lying online when I say my weight and clothes size. But I most definitely am not!

Blossoms217 · 25/03/2026 22:25

5'2 and I'm 8 stone 7 down from 9 stone 12 Blush through excersize and eating well. However I can't get rid of my flabby belly after two kids :( I workout five times a week I think I need to count calories now

TheGirlWhoLived · 25/03/2026 22:35

Between 5”1 and 5”3, depending on different doctors- weight 15st 8lb and a size 16-18 🥰

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 26/03/2026 01:47

5’1” and 8st. I take a size 8. Long legs, short body.

reversegear · 26/03/2026 18:20

Also Levi’s cropped are our friends, Amazon. If you have short legs like me 28”

Mine are 26 inch. Ridiculous! Even petite too long! Hence buying kids 11-12 🤣. Although I noted recently m&s do some called extra short. I suspect that's where I'm headed next!

Mosaic80 · 26/03/2026 18:50

5’3”, 9 stone ish and an 8-10. It’s really annoying being between sizes though!

cheesychipsontheoche · 26/03/2026 20:43

M&S extra short jeans are perfect for me. They sell out really quickly though

Jrisix · 26/03/2026 20:49

157 cm and about 65 kg. I'm still breastfeeding my second baby so I hope to keep losing.

Before having kids I oscillated around 55-60 kg but I was very muscular so looked good at that weight.

I now have a flabby mum tum but I think it's a combination of loose skin and mild diastasis recti, so I doubt it's going anywhere.

Graceyfields · 26/03/2026 20:51

Size 10 and 9st 6

GoldenCupsatHarvestTime · 26/03/2026 21:04

FlingoFlamingo · 18/03/2026 12:02

5ft 2 and 44.5kg. Size 6.

Flabby 6.

How can you possibly be flabby with a BMI of 17.9? That’s underweight. Ridiculous notion

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 26/03/2026 21:07

Shinyhappyapple · 25/03/2026 16:36

Just under 5’3”. I’m 10st 10 and generally wear a size 16.

Wow. I'm 5' 3" and I was size 8/10 at 10st 8lb.

Reinventedblanket · 26/03/2026 21:12

5 2" 9st 3lb. Size 12.

MrLarsonsNailGun · 26/03/2026 21:37

5ft1, 49kg, size 8. Used to be bigger than that post DC and feel so much better at the weight I am now

Shinyhappyapple · 26/03/2026 21:54

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 26/03/2026 21:07

Wow. I'm 5' 3" and I was size 8/10 at 10st 8lb.

I wonder if you are either a lot younger than me, or you are fairly toned from exercise? I’m 60 now and I know that when I was this weight around 15 years ago (I yo-yo) I was a 12-14. I have very little muscle tone, and post-menopause my body shape has changed hugely with weight now primarily round my middle.

fairmaidofutopia · 26/03/2026 22:22

158cm, 61 yo, weight 7 stone. Feel like I need more muscle , can’t run any longer so have booked swimming lessons ! size 4/6

No, I'm 70 next birthday and not especially toned.
