Femfrankies' Big Steps & Little Uns

[Smallerme]

I'm another one who's 5'3" and I don't drop sizes easily. I'm a comfortable size 20 now at 219lb.

I think clothes sizing is weird. I'm 5'7, 14 st 4 and a size 16.

I was a comfortable 12 when I weighed 11 st 4 a few years back.

I won't be getting into 14s until I get to 13 st.

I agree that sizes are weird, depends on where you shop.

I am 5'11" and exactly 14 stone. I wear size 16 jeans and size 14/16 dresses.

My wardrobe now consists of sizes 14,16,18. & 20's I really wish clothes manufacturers etc would get together and agree what size should measure what & stick to it. It would make shopping a hell of a lot easier!

That's why I get frustrated buying off internet, different styles, cuts, different stores - everyone different. I think Sainsburys Tu are generous, Tesco I think are cut much smaller. New Look & Asda are quite good, but their tops seem short to me Xx

I concur on that Claire. But what is more frustrating is when you buy two different sets of Lycra leggings from the same store, Next in this instance.. Both were the same size and one fitted perfectly whilst the other wouldn't even go up my leg grrrrrrrr

I had the same thing happen the other day! Same dress, different colors. Needed a 14 in the pink and an 18 in the blue?!?! Needless to say, I bought the pink

 

[femfrankie]

As would I Neisse . Although... Where I'm still over the moon at getting into a 14 jumper I also feel like I'm cheating somehow because clearly this jumper is one of those rare "made big" items.

Don't get me started ...

Thank you Pooh but I wish they were!! They are a complete pain to shed the pounds off. It's starting to go now though thank goodness. Xxx

 

[Yvessa]

haha! Fantastic Frankie! It will get easier to hold as well I promise

 

[femfrankie]

Good ... I can keep 'em crossed for about a minute just now and spent most of the morning experimenting the technique with both legs hehehe xxx

 

[Yvessa]

Bizarrely I don't try the other leg. Mad I know. But I can sit for a good 20 minutes now with them crossed.

 

[pooh71]

Well they look tiny to me I know the feeling though, my legs are just tree trunks and not easy to shift from. Glad you have movement xx

 

[femfrankie]

They will get thinner Pooh. Just hang in there. Up until yesterday mine frustratingly stayed the same size for over 4 months despite a two and a half stone loss

 

[sarahloveswelshcobs]

Omg !!!!! I can cross my legs !!!!!

I only just realised !!!!!!!

IN TOTAL AND UTTER SHOCK !
