    Even people the same height clothes size vary so much. They should make shops unify the sizes properly :angry:

    Hey!

    5'5
    weight: 12stone 5lb
    Dress size 12/14

    Jeans would be a 14 though I never wear them !
    I have a pair of size 12 skinnies i'm using to measure progress and said I would be happy when they fit me well ! So i'm guessing about 10 stone !

    5'3"

    SW: 188lbs (13st 6lb) - 16/18
    CW: 137lbs (9st 9lb - as of this morning :smile:) - 10/12

    I was only aiming to be able to fit into size12 when I first started here. It made me feel amazing to buy size 10 trousers, but, at the same time, feels quite weird after having been so big for so long!

    GW: Maybe somewhere between 126 - 132, so I guess that would make me a definite 10, maybe going into 8, but my brain can't comprehend that lol :laugh:

    I'm 16 weeks pregnant now, but before I got pregnant I was 11 stone exactly (see profile pic) and a size 12. I'm 5'6.

    My highest weight was 220lbs, about 8 weeks after my 2nd baby (she was born May 2011). I was around a size 20 then I guess. Considering I'd been a 14/16 pre pregnancy that was quite depressing!

    At the moment I'm aiming to gain as little weight as possible!

    5'4" (5ft 3.75" to be exact!)

    Starting weight: 154lb (11st)
    Dress size: Big 14
    BF%: About 35%.

    Current weight: As of this morning 141.75lb
    Dress size: Can fit in to a size 10 on the bottom, but then they wont do up as my top half is more a large size 12! Currently fitting in to size 12 skinny jeans with a tinyyy muffin top.
    BF%: 27.4%.

    UGW: 135lb? I care more about inches and body fat as I have previously been 9st and still a size 10-12! Aiming for below 10st!
    Dress size: 8-10.
    BF%: 22-25%.

    When I started jan 2013 I was 99kg - 218 lbs a size 20 -22

    Now I'm 168 lbs 76kg and am a 14 although sometime needs 16 on bottoms as legs seem thick lol

    I'm using the nhs BMI as my goal . 72kg or 159lbs get me into the healthy range and not overweight for my height.

    I totally agree that dress sizes totally vary

    I'm 5'6". About an hourglass shape.

    Depends a little on where I shop.
    Most of my clothes come from "White Stuff".

    At my fattest I was a size 14 (or L in Nike) at 170. I stayed a size 14 until I got down to around 155lb when I dropped to a size 12. I'm now 147lb and a very comfortable 12 (or M in Nike) but still miles away from a 10.

    I have previously been a size 10 (or Nike S) when I am in my 130s, and I was a size 8 in Next (or Nike XS) when I was about 124lb.

    Hope that helps. Not sure if it does though as everyone is proportioned differently etc.

    CW: 171lbs/ 12st 3lbs (Still a size 14)

    At my LW of 118lbs/8st 6lbs I was a size 6-8 on top and 8-10 on the bottom (Due to being a middle class white girl with a massive ghetto booty :p)

    Even people the same height clothes size vary so much. They should make shops unify the sizes properly :angry:

    I think there is huge variation in sizing... but there is also huge variation in what some people consider to be a comfoprtable fit. I can pick up some size 10s now and get into them and zip them up but that doesn't mean they "fit" me properly. I prefer to wear a size 12 comfortably rather than looking like I squeazed myself into a 10.

    13 stone 8.4
    size 12/14/16 - cos shops are useless at sizing

    but I think my waist measured about 32/34 last week. havent done it this week. hoping to lose and inch this week!

    my goal is back to a 10 as I was this time last year ... maybe more 8/10 with a low BF about 15%
