Is size 8/10 chubby for someone who is 5"3?

You shouldn't be worried then

I am nearly 21 and have put on weight since leaving school. When I was 18 I was a size 4/size 6, 6 and a half stone and had a 22 inch waist. Now I am wearing a mixture of size 6 and size 8 clothes which are getting too small so I'm probably a size 8/size 10 really. I'm about 8 stone and now have measurements of 36-27-34. I've had to take a few gap years due to illness so because of this I've not been able to exercise. I'm planning to go to uni in 2017 and I'm feeling a bit unhappy with my weight now. Any other girls of similar age and height, what size are you? Does that sound chubby or like I need to lose weight?

I am 5"2 and I fit into size 10/12 clothes, about 9 stone. Honestly you are all good 🙂. If you really want to get some excercise in though, try and workout at home! I'm trying to get a bit more active myself, I don't do a massive load of cardio or anything I just do some sit ups, push ups, squats, stretches and planking. If you want to put some cardio in get a jump rope or do whatever you fancy.

You know the average height for a woman is around 5'3- 5'4 right? not sure how you came to the conclusion she is child size.

Child's sizes haha! The average height for a women in the UK is 5"3! I don't even need petite clothes let alone children's clothes!

You do know that the average height of a woman in the UK is 5"3 right? So, since I'm 5"3.5 and a size 8 I'm "chubby", "wide and dumpy", "fat" AND "slim" now according to your different comments. Brilliant logic there I must say.

Thank you.

When I was that height I was still shopping in the kids aisle, she asked about men's sizes



You asked about men's sizes, I answered

If you want my opinion, no. But being 'chubby' is totally fine as long as YOU are happy. If you're happy with your body, then It doesn't matter what other people think

So you caught me out on height then, congratz. I mean around average human height which is around 5'5.

I'm confused, I think you must have misunderstood what I said. I was talking about me (in terms of women's sizes). I didn't mean the part you quoted in a bad way or anything; I thought that you meant that you thought that I was child sized and I just thought that that was funny cause I know I'm short but I'm not that short!

Aha you seem really nice btw, hope you're okay!

Ohhh no! I just meant that if you wanted to buy a men's T-shirt for example, then you might have to look in the kids aisle.

Oh right haha.

I was just being properly accurate. I'm not sure where you got that figure from. It seems like you just made it up yourself to suit your argument but never mind clearly because I'm a size 8 and 1.5 inches shorter than that, even though my BMI is actually quite close to underweight, I must be so fat!

"Okay, so I want to say thank you very much to everyone who has taken the time to reply to the thread so far. It's been really helpful! It's been great that most of the replies have been very positive: saying that I'm not chubby, I'm a healthy weight and I'm fine the way I am etc. Logically, I think that you are all probably right about that but also taking into account what everyone has said about how it's important to be happy yourself with your weight/size I think I will only be fully happy with myself in terms of that if I do lose weight.
I would be hoping to lose about 1 stone and get back to being a size 6. Is it possible to lose 1 stone in approximately 2 months? And does anyone have any advice on the best way to do it?" my own QUOTE
Any advice on this yet?
