I am 42. I'm 5'6".
I'm currently 168lb (12st) and wearing a size 14 (subject to retailer...).
I gained most of my weight in 2011, after an injury.
In 2010 I was just under 130lb (9st3lb) and wearing a size 10. I think that's my happy weight and spot in the middle of my 'normal' BMI range.
When I was training particularly hard a year prior to that, I was 8st 10lb and wearing a size 8... but people said it didn't suit me and that I looked gaunt.0 -
I'm aged 31, 5'5" and currently don't know my weight having avoided the scales for a number of weeks. I'm wearing size 10 on top and 12 on the bottom.
At my lowest weight I was 9st 7lbs, but I'd look like a scrawny mess if I were that weight again, so I'm aiming for 10st 7lbs give or take half a stone!0 -
I am 5'2.5", currently 135 (9st 9lbs) and wear a size 10. I got down to 122 in april 11 which i maintained until feb 12 until i got pg (sadly wasnt meant to be) so im hoping to get back to where i was! funny thing is i can still fit into my clothes even though im heavier! I am a lot leaner though so my body composition has changed ! yay, prefer that more than a certain number on the scale!0

5'3" (or just under), was somewhere over 15 stone, now 14st 4 lb. I'm 48. My clothes size I'm not sure about. Somewhere between a 22 and a 20. I can sometimes squeeze into an 18, but sometimes a 20 is too small.
I started off at a 10, but I'm not sure I'll ever be that again. I don't have a goal weight because I'm not sure what feels good. My initial weight goal is to lose 10% of my bodyweight. My overall goal is health and fitness.0 -
Am 48... 5'6" ...was 151 and am now 133 (9 stone 7) which is my Goal!! (UK size 10) ...yippee!!!!!! Have LOVED MFP and am so happy I found it! Now I am just trying to maintain which has it's own learning curve!! Would like more UK friends!!0

You think you lot have problems!!
Im 40's 6' 1" tall
although I am ideal weight now, I still need 20 top (18 sometimes!) and 14 bottoms.
Its my crappy bone structure!0 -
OK, you lot all sound thin and petite
I'm 34 (35 on Saturday), 5ft 7, was 21stone 2½lbs last September, and I'm now 19stone 4lbs.
My target is 11stone 6lbs, for just into healthy BMI, but I will see when I get closer.
As for size I started off 26 chest, 28 hips, but 20 waist, now 20 chest, 22/24 hips and 14 waist. I am very hour glass shaped!0 -
I'm with you Kathrynha77 - Feeling very large after reading these posts
I'm 44, 5ft 9in was 21st 3lb on 21st May 12, now 20st 4lb thanks to MFP.
Aiming for 11st which I have not been since I was about 15!
Clothes sizes all over the place, wearing 26's, 24's and 22's depends on retailer and fabric!0 -
Wow, thats brilliant Helen, almost a stone ine less than a month. I was doing Slimming World, and did really well at first, but have plateaued since Christmas, but losing again since I joined here last month. And yes clothes sizing is even more random in larger sizes, than it is in smaller ones.0

I'm 5'8, 136ish pounds and a size 10/12. Hoping to drop down to 126-130 pounds and a solid size 10.0

Hi there, just wanted Helen & Kathryn to know they are not alone, so thought I would post here as well :laugh:
I am 43, 5ft 6in tall. When I started in January, I was 20stone exactly, currently 17stone.
Clothes size seems to have gone from 28/30 to 20ish (as you say, depending on what and where!)
Hoping to eventually be 11 stone - as that is supposedly the heaviest I can be 'normal' at - but will see how I feel as the weight goes down.
Good luck to everyone in their goals

Hiya, I'm 18 (19 in August, gahh!)
I'm 5ft 6" and I'm currently at 149lbs and my goal weight is120lbs (My highest weight was 170lbs+ : I tended to avoid the scale at all costs at that point). I have a really small frame but I'll stop losing when I'm comfortable so if that's at 130 that's cool too!
My clothing size varies from: 10 (dresses), 12 (jeans) and I can even fit into some size 8 tops/dresses.0 -
HI.
I'm 5'6, 20 and weigh 68kg (10.7 stone). I fit comfortably into a size 10.
When I weighed 66.67kg (10.5 stone) I fit into most size 8 clothes (this is my target again!).0 -
Hi guys,
i am only 1 month into MFP trying to lose just about 7lbs ( only 3 to go ..whoo hoo ) however my weight loss journey started without MFP about 3 years ago when I slimmed down from about 11 stone to 9 stone.
Im 32 years old 5 foot 5 ( and a half to be precise ..can't forgot the half lol ) and i have found due to a few fluctuations that pretty much every 1/2stone equals a clothes size for me -
11 stone- size 14
10.5 stone -size 12/14
10 stone -size 12
9.5 stone - size 10
9 stone - size 8
The things tho i have noticed are that now i am slimming down again i am concentrating more on strength training, weights and toning and at my current weight of 9 stone 3 my size 8s are getting seriously loose ( so much so that I'm upping my calories!) however 1 year ago at my lowest of about 8 stone 13 size 8 was perfect. I don't look any slimmer at 9 3 but i guess the tighter belly is having the right effect ( BODY PUMP classes are my nirvana !!)
The strange thing for me is that every report i hear is of people saying that when they were younger their bodies where slimmer and they could eat what they wanted etc - that was true for me too but...from the ages of 16-21 i was slighter heavier than i am now by 2-3 pounds ( about 9 stone 4/5) and i was a perfect size 10 - i could never have squeezed an 8 .....sooooo the question that is on my mind is ..........has my body miraculously tightened with age or..........have sizes got bigger in 20 years .......????????
Would love to know your views? 0 -
Height: 5ft 10in
Current weight: 25st 9
Current size: 36-38 (depends on brand, style)
Goal weight: 11st 2
Goal size: 8-10
I started here on MFP on 30 June 2011, so I have almost reached the one-year point, and it has been quite a turbulent year. When I signed up I was 27st 9, then my life kind of collapsed and by the end of November I was 29st 13, and now about seven months later I am only down to 25st 9. This is disappointing to me because my original goal was to be down to 20st 5 at the end of one year. However, a truly kind individual recently said to me "so your life collapsed and you've still lost weight from your starting point? that's pretty great!" And that person is completely right.
Best wishes to everyone here. :flowerforyou:0 -

That person was totally right. You still have a good loss for the year, and heading in the right direction. Almost 3 years ago I was all eager to start losing weight, diet started great, lost a stone in 4 weeks, then my brother died suddenly, and my life fell apart. I put on 4 stone the next almost 2 years, and it took me that long to get myself sorted, then last September, 23 months after my brother died I started dieting again. I have only lost 27 lbs since then, which is disappointing, but it's still 27lbs less than I was, so therefore good.
Keep going, together we can do it0 -
I'm 30, 5ft 4 and currently weigh 11st 8. I am a size 12 bottom and 14 top (have 34G boobs! which don't shrink1) Want to be a size 10 and think that will be around the 10st mark but ideally i would like to be abour 9st 70

I am 5'3" and weight 11 stone 10lb,
Im 27 (soon to be 28) and wear a size 14.
I want to be 10 stone 8/10lb.
Ive worked out aout 4/5 times a week since I was 18 but unfortunately exercising doesnt cancel bad eating habits & over eating!
Ive done weight watchers - lost 2 stone & put it on, Ive done Slimming world, lost 2 stone. I was 11 stone for my wedding last July and in January I weighed 12 stone 5lb. So Ive lost 9lb since Jan.
Been doing MFP for 65 days now & have lost 2.5 inches around my waist.
Im really learning about food, nutrition etc. I want something I can do for life - when joining SW clubs I always felt like I was on a diet and binged the night after I got weighed - unhealthy cycle.
Basically I eat protein, vege, with fruit & wholemeal carbs in moderation.
I have a small treat each day ie oats & choc bar or yogurt covered fruit. Keeps me sane,
I ease up at weekends but not totally off track. Am out eating3 times this weekend though but thats a rare occassion - I'll be back on track come monday. My interim goal weight is 11stone 3lb.0 -
Hi All, I'm 5ft3 with a tiny frame, 124 lb (8 stone 12) and want to gain muscle so weight isn't too important. I'm currently a size 8-10 and want to get to a perfect 8 by getting a tighter body with more muscle tone.
I know body fat percentage hasn't been asked for, but in my case it's more relevant than weight: I'm currently 19% and trying to get it much lower!
Oh and I'm 24.0
