    I am 5' 8" and last year I was 10 stone 6. I was a 10 on top and 12 in trousers (I have a terrible body shape where all my weight goes to my middle but I stay flat chested with no waist...I decided something really did have to be done when a colleague congratulated me on my "news". I didn't have any news and I don't know who was more mortified)

    I am now 9 stone 1 and am a size 6/8.

    I have always exercised but my diet was atrocious, made worse by shift work and a terrible chocolate habit. I have changed my exercise routine and cleaned up my eating in a huge way and last month I changed my profile pic to my most hated body part - my tummy - to prove to myself that I can now be proud rather than ashamed.

    I'm 5ft3.

    I'm 27 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby and weigh 10stone/140lbs at the moment.

    Prior to this baby I was 9st7 and a size 8-10, but will be aiming for my pre-2nd baby weight that was between 7st 9/107lbs and 8stone/112lbs and a size 6-8.

    (My goal is purely for after I've had baby and finished exclusively breastfeeding, but I'm trying to gain a sensible amount in pregnancy rather than let it all go and have a far longer journey.)

    Hello UK ladies! I was looking at the Marks and Spencer site as they have free delivery to NZ! Is their sizing small, medium or large for the given size? I'm 5ft 7" and 9st 4llb (132) , average to slim build so was thinking of ordering a 10. About right do you think my friends?

    I'm 5ft1 and am measuring using the same model of New Look jeans that I have in 16 and 14 and may buy in a 12 as they are so cheap!

    SW 173lbs/12 st 4 - 16
    CW 162lbs/ 11st 8 - 14
    GW 123lbs/8 st 7 - 10/12

    In the early 10s (around 10st4) I fit in my size 12 Lipsy dresses so I think 10-12 at goal is reasonable. I have an hourglass figure so often have to wear a bigger size for the chest or hips but can go smaller on skirts that only fit at the waist. I didn't have scales when I was slim so I have no idea what I weighed!

    5'5
    Sw 203 size 18/20 (top/bottom)
    Cw 159 size 12/14 " "
    Gw 140 size 8/10. " "

    Agree completely re sizing. I often wonder if it's because I carry on my thighs, bum and tum as I seem to wear bigger clothes, but my arms and legs are ok. Clearly I'm not big chested as well.... (boo.....)

    I would say a 10 is spot on for average to slim build, I'm the same :p

    I think they cut generously. I tried on a pair of jeans once in a size smaller than usual and when I went shppping with my friend she went two sizes down (although they were stretchy jeans). I think they cut for women rather than young things :wink:

    5'7'' female. Last year over 14 stone, size 18. Currently, just over 13 stone, and still can't fit into a size 16 :( At 12 stone, I was a size 16.
