How can I of been 21stone and only size 18?
A year ago when I was weighed at a doctors I weighed nearly 21 stone. I have now lost 4 stone and am 16.9 but pretty much the same clothes size. In a magazine I saw a 21 stone woman who was a size 34 in clothes.. how can I of been 21stone but only a size 18? It's puzzling me!

Could have to do with muscle mass, your height, frame size or even something as simple as how tight/loose the clothing is. Taller people can carry more weight. I'm only 5' tall and weigh 150 lbs; takes a size 10-12 (depending on style) to be comfortable; however someone who is 5'7" could easily weigh 150 lbs and wear a smaller size.
