Kettlebell weights?

Hello
I have some light kettle bells but think I need to up them to be effective. What kettle bell weights is everyone using?
 
I have lots of kettlebells.

53#
44#
35#
2-25#
2-18#
2-14#
2-10#

I use the 53# and 44# for swings. The 25# and 18# for double armed moves and farmer's walk, racked walks and overhead walks. I use 14# and 10# for 1-armed sit ups (mostly). I have friends that come over and use the lighter ones as well.
 
I'd guess 18-20lb KB. Someone asked her a question in the comments below the video on what size KB to use. Her response was "15lbs for total beginners, 20lbs for intermediate, 26lbs for already strong girls :)"
 
The weight you need depends on the kind of workouts you do. If your workouts are rep intensive, you will need lighter weights. If I am working by time (in blocks of say one minute per exercise) I stick with a 12 kg bell for swings. I can heavy up if I am doing 8 to 12 reps of swings.
