First ever size 16 girl reaches Miss England final | the Daily Mail
It is amazing how even at the same weight and height, there can be a difference in sizes...
I think it boils down to what you feel happy yourself with.

Height- 5'6''
Starting Weight - 14st 6lbs

I'm being let down by the size of my waist. It started at 45 inches and is now 39.5 inches. Was completely horrified when i first measured my waist. I knew i had got big but not that big.
I am a stocky hourglass figure. I just don't go in at the middle as much as i would like.

For me I find it depends very much where I shop but going by the average size of my clothes:
Start weight: 15.3lbs
Top size: 18
Bottom size: 18/20
Waist: 38ins
Bust: 38ins!
Now: 12.12lbs
Top size: generally a 14 (except in topshop where I dont fit in anything as have broad shoulders!)
Bottom size: 14-16 (usually a 16 at the moment)
Waist: 36ins
Bust: 36ins!
I find it strange that my waist and bust seem to be the same- my torso is very even in width, altho my hips and shoulders are both broad- I am most deffo an hourglass! Have to say tho, I do have a bit of a spare tyre in the belly button region which probably adds a good 4 or 5 inches to my girth, which is why I am still in some 16s instead of an average 14!
Anyone got any tips for losing the spare tyre? My weight seems to come off everywhere other than there! Am hoping my new personal fitness trainer will have some advice for me!! x

Bust:33

Hips:35
I lost 8lbs to get from 12 to 10 but I found it was more useful to go on inches.

wow this thread is very interesting,
I started at 14st 2lb and a size 14/16
I'm now down to 12st 12lb and still a size 14
I'm just under 5'8''
obviously not lost enough to get down to a size12 yet (not that I can afford to shop atm) although I did try on a size12 skirt in Next today and it fitted but was still a little on the snug side.
I guess it all depends on the shop though as to what size I am

Sorry to bump up an old thread. :wave_cry: But this one is very interesting. I'm only about 40% there with my weightloss. Stats, however:
Age: 17
Height: 5ft 8 inches
Shoe size: 6 1/2
Start weight 17 stone 12 lb
Start dress size: 20 (top), 22 (bottom)
Weight now: 15 stone 7lb
Dress size now: 16/18 (top), bottoms (18-20.)
So it depends on the shop, I think. In some things I've dropped 2 dress sizes and in some things only one. So I'm guessing I drop a dress size about every 20lb. zzzz. Long way to go.

The whole clothes size thing really bothers me... I don't understand why I haven't gone down more. I have lost over 4 stone now and have gone from a 16 top, 18 bottom, 16 dress to a 14 top, 14-16 bottom. Surely I should be smaller by now!? Anyone got a good tip for losing the flab around the thighs, I think thats what's holding meup! x

Do you work out and exercise? I know you can't "spot" reduce fat, but I believe a person that has worked out throughout weightloss tends to take a lower dress size than those who haven't.
I could be talking complete rubbish here, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes you are right. I gained back some of my weight but I am actually smaller now than when I was this weight before. The difference being my activity levels!

I'm 5'6"
Starting weight 16st 7lbs - clothes tops 18/20, bottoms 18/20
Now 13st 4lbs - clothes tops 12/14, bottoms 14/16
3 stone 3lbs gone, and i'd say about 3 or 4 dress sizes difference
interesting about shoes and feet size, before i couldn't get into boots that zip up, now i can, and also i was a size 8 in shoe and now can fit into most size 7's!

Hmmm ok
I am 5 foot 1 (yes I know a little shorty )
I started at 13stone 1 pound and a size 16 on my bottoms, size 14 on tops
I currently weight 12stone 9 pounds and can very nearly get into size 14 jeans (by nearly I mean I am about a centimetre off being able to do the button with everything else fitting perfectly) but also fit perfectly into size 12 tops.
My aim-to get back down to a size 10 first and then hopefully tone up more to get into 8's. When I was a size 10 before I wasn't at all toned-my stomach still stuck out-not as much as it does now though!
