To ask how much you think I weigh?

I’m genuinely just curious. My hairdresser said she thought I’m a good 2-3 stone lighter than I actually am, so it got me thinking!

You look great. Just need to tone up. Menopause, when you eventually reach it, is a killer on the body, so do as much exercise as you can now.

Around 16 stone

40weeksmummy · 12/10/2025 18:36

Depends on:
*body shape
*clothes
I'm 174cm, 92kg and if dressed properly (have slim waist) - people usually guess I'm no more than 70kg .
I will always remember my doctor who had to prescribe me medicine (dose based on weight) - she couldn't believe I'm 90+, and was very surprised after weighting me. And I was given less anesthesia during emergency surgery as there was no time to weight me and doctors guessed I'm 75.

Boohoo76 · 12/10/2025 18:36

I think you definitely look 15-16 stone as I looked much slimmer at 13 stone (I’m now 11 stone). I’m a similar height to you.

welshcakesandtea · 12/10/2025 18:35

14-16 stone, we have similar shapes but you’re taller than me and I’m 12 stone x

Mmpip · 12/10/2025 18:28

15 stone

Mrsall · 12/10/2025 18:26

Knowing what weight I am id guess about 14-15st?

Outside9 · 12/10/2025 18:22

12.5 stone I'd guess

I agree with this. I'm 5 foot 2 and have been everything from 8 stone 4 to my now 13 stone as an adult. At 8 stone 4 I had concerned friends and family gently asking me if I were anorexic and implore me not to lose any more weight. (I had gone down from 11 stone). I remember once walking along in a shopping centre and seeing a woman in shorts walking towards me. I was staring at her legs in utter shock thinking 'That woman really needs to eat something' when I nearly smacked into a mirror. Because I did not know it was me, I was seeing my legs honestly, not through a body dysmorphia lens like I usually do.

My 'comfortable' weight is about 10 stone 10. That's a weight I don't have to fight every day to maintain once I am there. 10 stone 7 is when people start telling me I am looking too slim. I have a very large frame- stocky like a shetland pony really- what people used to call ;big bones'. That may have something to do with it.

I m 5’ 4” and basically straight up and down. When I lose weight people always comment on how ‘tiny’ I am as it all disappears evenly. I seem to diminish in people’s height perception for some reason. Like you 10 stone seems good and then I look a bit unwell.

I think the Op can ask the question as 15 stone is such a massive achievement. All the horrified comments are clearly by thinner women.

Willyoujust · 12/10/2025 18:17

I would say around 13 stone but depends on your height

FlutteryButterfly · 12/10/2025 18:13

Not read the full thread but I'd say 14 stone

Clarabell77 · 12/10/2025 18:00

ThatLadyLady · 12/10/2025 10:06

I’m 15 stone 8!!!

really shocked by all the low guesses, but I’m guessing I carry it quite well!

Show quote history

You definitely carry it well!

Clarabell77 · 12/10/2025 17:59

I’d say about 12 and a half stone.

crinkletits · 12/10/2025 17:56

I’d say about 15 stone

Silvers11 · 12/10/2025 17:52

I guessed your weight before I read any of the other posts ( based on what I used to look like before I too lost a lot of weight - only 4 stone so far for me). So I wasn't far out. Congratulations on losing so much weight already @ThatLadyLady. You will get there. I still have about 21lbs to lose, but I intend to get there too! Good Luck

ChristmasSlacker · 12/10/2025 17:47

17 stone. I was 15 stone a year ago and wasn’t as big. Depends how tall you are though.

Insertcreativenamehere · 12/10/2025 17:47

At 162cm tall I would guess 14 stone

Silvers11 · 12/10/2025 17:46

About 16 stone I would say

Cherry8809 · 12/10/2025 17:45

I haven’t read past the first page, but I’d guess anywhere between 14-16st.

TimeForATerf · 12/10/2025 17:37

Well done on your weight loss, I guessed 15 stone at five foot 6, because I looked smaller at five foot four and 13 stone 7 when I was at my heaviest. Not too far out.

Any how all irrelevant as you have done amazing, I lost four stone 4 pounds in total and am a different person. Keep up the good work.

littleblackcat1 · 12/10/2025 17:35

Wow, well done! I think you must be carrying it well as I thought 65kg maybe.
Don’t think you stop feeling like the bigger version of yourself for a long time, but that’s ok, it will fade. Focus on enjoying how good it feels to be back in control of looking after yourself and all the gains.

Namechangelikeits1999 · 12/10/2025 17:33

@ThatLadyLady why don't you get an old photo and put it next to your recent photo (for yourself I mean, not for us) so you can see the difference?

Anon4778 · 12/10/2025 17:27

Committed the cardinal sin of not RTFT! That I some loss, well done OP 👏

Anon4778 · 12/10/2025 17:26

13-14st - I’m a similar shape! Down to 12st on GLP1s.

MyLoyalEagle · 12/10/2025 17:19

I would say 60 kilos.
