Anyone here that's 12 stone around 5'7 height?

I am 5ft 7in and I started at 15st 2lbs. at my lowest which was 13st 12lbs I was in 16 bottoms but my top is small so I get into 14 tops but maintain an 16-18 bottom between 15st and 14st. I've done alot more exercise before I started so I am a bit more toned than I was before my restart. It depends on your body shape and the muscle mass that you have. By BMI suggests I should be 11st 4lbs but I know I will be comfortable at 12st 7lbs. We'll see how this goes.

I think you should stop when you are really happy with the size you are even if that is fitting comfortably in a size 12.

I am 5'6" and started CD at
- 12st 4lbs. size 14 top, 16 bottom.

I am now about
- 11st 8lbs and in a 14 top and bottom.

I dont know what weight i want to be or what size but I know how I want to look. I think maybe about 10st 7lbs will be right for me this was my pre-children weight when i was a standard size 12.

Go by how you feel - not clothes size or weight.:)
 
Hey, I am 5ft 7 and exactly 12 stone!
I am pleased to tell you I am a size 12! I even have some dresses/tops that are a size 10 but i have a small bust.
I think it just depends on how your weight is distributed, it surprises me that people at the same height and weight can have such a large clothes size difference! I think as long as youre happy with how you look at feel the size on the label is irrelevant x
 
Also, at my lowest weight I have been 11stone exactly, where at 5ft'7 I wore a size 8 prom dress and my day to day clothes were 8s/10s, this was too thin for me and i didn't like being boney - my collar bone really stuck out as did my hip bones and ribs.
 
It's so strange because at 5'10" & at my lowest of 10st 3lbs I was a ten on top & a 14 bottom. The classic pear shape!
 
cor this is an old thread but interesting to me as im 5ft7 + was thinking the same thing. Im currently a size 20 (15st10) from memory im a comfy size 18 at 14+half-15st, a comfy size 16 from 13st-14st + i was a size 14 once yearssss ago + have no idea what i weighed.. i think about 12st-12+half! So i was thinking what size i would be at my goal weight of 11st?? im hoping a size 12 that would be amazing :) anyone 5ft7 + 11st now?? would be good to know x
 
Great thread, I'm also 5.7 but just over 14st,
16 bottoms and 20 tops ( big bust ) Can't wait to get to 12 stone but 11 will be even better :)
 
No but i wish i bloody was lol! xx
 
I started at 15 and a half and am today 12 and a half, I went from a size 18 bottoms to size 14, and size 16 top to a 14/12.

I'm back to lose another stone and want to maintain at around 11 and a half to 12 and no more than a size 14!!!!

But more than anything I needed to get my BMI down for IVF treatment which is what I've achieved and we start in a few weeks :)

Xx
 
I am 5ft 7 and used to be a size 16 when I was 12 stones. Ten years on I am now 13.7 and size 16 bottom and 18 top. I have just bought Dorothy Perkins size 14 jeans and they fit though a little snug. I therefore have no idea what size I will be at 12 stones now.
 
I have also been wondering this.. i started at 20st and a size 20 bottom and 22 top im now 14st12lb and a size 16-18 top and a 16 bottom (very loose around by butt and thighs) i am a bloody apple shape so i have the larger than life belly =/ My goal is 11 stone and i am hoping to be a size 12 so if im not a size 12 i think im gona lower my goal weigh but saying that i just wana feel happy and comfy in my own skin and i wana have some curves cant picture myself with bones sticking out
.
 
This thread is fascinating because people with the same height and weight have totally different clothes sizes!! I've always thought I was heavy on the 'inside' (as well as the outside!!) - I'm 5'7 and at my lowest I was 12.7 stone and I was a 12/14 bottom and 12 top. At my biggest at 18.5 I was size 20 all round. I'm currently 14.3 and size 16/18 bottom (it really does depend on the shop - damn those sizes!) and 14/16 top. My goal has always been 12.7 cuz I'm happy with 12/14, but that is a whole stone over my healthy BMI! Just shows we are all made differently - I must have some darn heavy bones or something. In fact I'm 5'7 which I don't think is that tall really, but I have big wrists and fairly broad shoulders I think so maybe that's why. Anyway, fascinating!

Hey,

Not sure if this thread is really old or not now! It is really bizarre that sizes are so different, you're obviously a very slim-looking 12 and a half-stoner! I'm 5 foot 6, 12 stone 5 ish and a size 16!

Hi... Just been reading through this.... I'm 12 stone 2 now and a size 14-16... My CDC said I'll be at 'normal bmi' at 11 stone 2 but I'm guessing I won't even be in a 12 then!

Ive set my goal for 10 stone, which hopefully will be a size 10? But if I need to lose more by tht point I think I will until I'm happy...

I think it's because my legs and arms arnt big at all... It's my stomache that holds all my weight!!

How long have u been on this diet hun? X

You should have a look at http://www.mybodygallery.com/index.html as you can see pictures of bodies based on height weight and even shape. I'm slightly addicted to it as it helps me get a feel for what I'll look like once I hit my target... It also motivates me to keep going. I am having a few tough days so need it!

Hey,

This will be my 7th week I think! You've lost an amazing amount in 5 weeks! When I wrote my post I didn't realise this was the Cambridge diet section! I'd googled '12 stone' and this link came up & I imagined it was in the main minimins area.

I've not been losing that quickly because I'm on slimming world, so it's slower than a VLCD- I've gone from 13 stone 2.5 to about 12 stone 5/6 (weigh-in tonight eek!). I think I'm quite small boned too and a sort of peary/hourglass shape- I felt quite good when I was 10 stone 7 and a size 12 but I'm aiming at 9 stoneish eventually tho I'll be very happy when I get to 10 stone! I think 10 stone would be about a 10/12 for small/medium frame but it depends on other things I guess!

How's your week going?

xx
