I'm interested to compare really. I'm not huge at 9.5st but would be happier at 9st.

Anyone else around that weight trying to lose half a stone?

I'm 5'6" and before I got pregnant was 9st7lbs and would have preferred to be 9st.
Nothing I can do about it at the mo but once baby is born I'd like to aim for 9st again.
Anything over 9st4lbs feels too big for me. At 9st I'm comfortably in a size 10.

8 stone 9 pound, happy with the way I am. Tbh if I was over 9 stone at this height I would feel over weight.

I'm in between 5"6 and 5"7.

I'm about 132lbs, prefer 122.

I'm around 10.5stone at the moment, so BMI wise that's fine. I prefer closer to 10 bit if I dip under that I look too thin

I'm 11.7 St. Have to, I think, severely reduce portions and calories to be 10.7. The weight would my ideal but wonder how unrealistic would my eating habits be

9st 13...

I'd like to be 9st 7, to give me a bit of leeway away from 10st (again!)

Just under 10st but that's up from my usual 9st 7lb and I'm working on getting that back down! I'm happy at 9st 7lb. In my 20s I was between 8st7lb and 9st and thought I was fat!

12.5. But I have been 16st, so quite happy in comparison Grin would be comfortable for my frame at about 11.5 if I can ever be arsed to start actively dieting again

10st4. I'm still carrying a few pregnancy pounds that just won't shift. Pre preg I had been between 9 and 10st throughout my adult life. 9st7 is where I look best but anything under 10 is ok.

10st 11lb. I'm fairly broad framed but still feel miles better between 9st7lb and 10st.

I'm just slightly taller & around 9stone 6lb.
A year ago I was nearly 12 stone.
I think my current weight is ideal, actually 9st 9lb 6 weeks ago was ideal, I've lost a bit more through stress and resultant not eating in the last month. I'm monitoring atm as I don't want to lose more.
I'm mostly an 8 or 10 - I'd probably be a 9 if they made them.

I've been 10 stone and 7 stone 10. I feel most comfortable at around 8.5 stone.

14st Sad but dropping. Ideal weight for me is about 10st (I'm quite muscular and have long legs).

9st2 but feel better at 9 or ideally 8st10 but then my tiny boobs are even tinier. And I really love booze and sweet stuff. If I diet I just obsess over food all the time. Don't know how to drop the 3-4lbs!

I'm 10 stone, naturally fairly slim and muscly. Usually a side 10 on top half and 10/12 on bottom. Have put on about 7lbs since Christmas and I'm really not happy with it. I have become quite thick around the middle, mainly due to my comfort eating and drinking.

I'm happiest at about 8 - 8 stone 2. I don't carry weight well at all though.
