    your weight and dress size

    edited February 27 in Motivation and Support
    im curious what people's weight and dress sizes are, well obviously females, but guys too. I currently weigh 12 stone and I'm a UK size 12, sometimes a 14 in trousers or shorts in shops like TopShop, River Island or Miss Selfridge. I have a small waist but quite wide hips. People often weigh more at my weight and height but I exercise a lot. My bodyfat percentage is quite high though, between 29-30%. I would like to be 10 stone and around size 8, 8/10 (I accept I'll always have trouble fitting into sizes in shops like TopShop). This is just a general survey.

      I currently weigh 160 lbs (just the pesky 1/2 lb I was hanging onto) and wear a size 10/12 in jeans, shorts, and dress pants. I wear a medium/large shirt, usually the large only because I'm still pumping for my 8 mo so I need the extra room for the girls. My BMI is 28.3 which is way better than it was a couple years ago, but still on the high side. I'm only 5'4" so not very tall. My goal is get to 140 lbs and wear an 8/10.

      I currently weight 140lbs and a size Uk 10 or US 6 , and I'm 5 ft 6 so I guess I'm an average height for a woman. I want to get down to 9 stone and drop at least a dress size :) Easier said than done lol

      I don't do dresses.

      But I'm currently 236 and wear a 16.

      My lowest as an adult I was 175 and wore a 12.

      I'm 25 and tend to wear L or XL, depending on the fabric. 210 lbs (at last weight-in) and size 16 pants (though I tend to buy too big, because I HATE muffin tops)

      First Post, also. So hi :)

      I'm 5'8" and 177 lb.

      I would say I'm a size 12 dress currently, but it varies by brand/style/fabric. I have a 14 that still works and 12s that are baggy. I'm quite busty and hippy. so if it's A-line with any sort of stretch I wear L or 10.

      Tops usually L or XL, but I must be careful with necklines because a lot of XL will show my bra, ugh.

      Jeans I am going to 10-11 for the most part. Finally getting rid of some 14s that were crazy big and most of my 12s need to be washed on "hot" now. hehe

      5'6, 130lbs, and size 4 or S-M. I have a rather larger behind, so sometimes I have to get a bigger size.

      I'm 5'11" and weigh between 161-165. :) I've been arguing with 4 lbs for about 9 months now. I wear a size 10 dress - sometimes an 8, depending on the cut. I carry all my extra in my butt/thighs and am very small up top. Jeans are 10, dress pants are a 10 or 12. Tops are a M. Shoes are a 10...

      I'm 5'3" and weigh 230 (ugh). I currently wear a size 18 pants and an XL or XXL (if juniors sizing) shirt. My dresses tend to be XL's as well.

      My hope is to get down to 175 (as a starting GW), which would likely put me in a size 14/L.

      I weigh 140 and I wear an American size 6. I'm also 5'4 tall. Not sure how that translates.

      I'm 5'5" and currently about 190 pounds. I don't normally wear dresses. In pants or shorts, I wear 10 or 12s depending on the brand and shirts, I wear a misses large or XL depending on brand and cut.

      I am 5' 8 " and 170 lbs. I wear a 12 in jeans, a large top and 12-14 in a dress depending on the cut. I am also a senior citizen so as I have lost 100 lbs my skin does not go back like a young person. I need the extra size because of loose skin. I am according to the graphs for senior woman ( 68 yrs young, with 5 daughters) in the ideal weight range. I really don't care if I loose any more weight, even though to some of you I would be heavy. My doctor says I am fine. Good luck on your journey

      I'm 5'2" and currently JUST above 200 pounds.... I've dropped from a 26-28 down to a 22 (although they're out getting hemmed, so I can't wear them right now)....

      I don't wear dresses, so that's just pants...
    • Posts: 188 Member
      I'm 223.5 currently and 5'6. I wear a US 16 jeans, and comfortably 1XL-2XL shirt. I carry the majority of my weight in my stomach with smaller hips and bust but wide shoulders. I can't wait until I can wear a XL or L shirt comfortable!

      I'm 5/1.5", 120 lbs. Most jeans and pants 6 or 8, Dress size can be anywhere from a 6 to a 10 or 12 if it's fitted in the bust. I also sometimes I have to take a M in a top if it is fitted. With dresses, sometimes I have trouble zipping those last few inches across the shoulder and bust. I'm not extremely busty, but have broad back and shoulders.

      I'm 165lbs and 5'9". I wear size 6 in pants, usually size 8 in dresses and medium or large shirts.
      Oddly enough, I wear the same sizes when I'm 140lbs.

      I'm 5'6" Weigh around 119. Depending on things like brand and material I wear anywhere from 25 to 27 in pants (or size 2 for the ones that are sized that way). Size 2 to 4 in dresses (depending on brand and shape, since I'm bottom heavy) and a small when name size rather than number.

      So this is a topic I am super interested in, because I feel like the size I wear is a bit uncommon for my weight. I am 205 currently and wear a 12. A lot of my friends weigh a lot less than me (like 170) but we share clothes. Anyone have any idea why this might be so?


      I am 5"4 by the way.
