Aibu to ask how much you weigh? (Women)

5'8" 8 1/2 stone. A bit underweight.
I exercise a lot.

Put on lots of weight after both pregnancies but have finally lost some of it. Currently around 9 stone 1 most of the time and almost 5 ft 4. Run regularly and try to do weights a few times a week. I would probably look better 4/5 pounds lighter but I don't care enough to restrict diet.

53 years old in good health
7 stone 13
5-ft 2
find it very easy to stay this weight
And can also easily lose weight or gain weight as needed

54

8 stone 3

BMI 20.3

I lost five and a half stone on the cancer diet three years ago and have kept it off, due to being unable to eat properly anymore.

In fact if I didn't drink wine of an evening, I would be skeletal.

5'7" 65 kg. Eat what I want but no sweet tooth. Late 40s and similar size to 20 years ago. Fairly active, try to run 15k a week, but when I've been either less active or less healthy (takeaways, too much wine) my weight hasn't been affected. Similarly I did weights very regularly for a year and didn't look visibly bigger, more toned yes. Which is all a long way of saying that for me I think weight is pretty set and difficult to change either up or down.

5'7 and weigh 8st 7lbs
No idea what my bmi is, have been this weight for most of my adult life (4 pregnancies aside)

I am 5ft 5.5. I weighed 57kg a couple of weeks ago at my regular checkup. I'm a size 6 trousers and skirts in Allsaints and Whistles, but size 8 top and dress. In some shops I buy a size 4. I am quite muscular, as in toned, would love to be bigger as in more muscles, but am naturally built this way. I have very defined arms and legs, a soft 4 pack (have had 5 kids), and tight butt. I'm 51. I worry about osteoporosis and arthritis. I love to be active, and would hate for that to end due to health issues.

5 ft 5.5 and 52/3kg
I probably look ‘ill’ to some but I eat well

I don’t consciously exercise I.e gym or classes, but I do walk a bit I think? —rushing for the train lol—
Also I have bad pcos symptoms so I think that’s why I rarely put on weight (very high testosterone)

5'10 9st2. Trying to get back to 9st but I like pizza and wine too much

Which is 6.9 stone ?

43.9 kg
5ft 2

5 foot 6 (and a half )
9 stone
Size 10-12

Pre-pregnancy I was 8 stone 2 and am 5”6. Post pregnancy I’m 8 stone 9 (and trying to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight). Keep going and preserve (although you sound perfectly healthy to me).

These kinds of threads are always fascinating to me. I'm 5"11 and about 11st. Size 14. If I go to 10st8, I look ill.
BMI is a godsend to me really. I've suffered from EDs my entire life and I have a skewed perception of what's a normal weight (for instance, I now feel like I'm obese, although I'm slap bang in the middle of normal.) BMI gives me a really helpful reality check.

5'5 and 9 stone

5’1 and 7.5 stone, I’m full of nervous energy which really affects my weight though

I recently was shocked to discover how much the creep had crept and I was 10.9 at 5’4 that isn’t good! I’ve always been about 9.10 so it’s a big difference. Last week I joined a new gym and signed a pt, I am time poor and having someone keep me in check will work... especially when paying for it. I actually care less about the look and more about the health. It will all be alcohol and a few to many ‘oh go on then’ to snacks at work 🙈 I’d like to be 9.5 stone by feb

I’m 5’5 and 10st 1lb. I had DS 11 weeks ago and I’m 2-3lbs over pre-pregnancy weight but I like to think it’s all milk!

I usually sit on the heavier side of normal as I build muscle really easily and am very athletic. At my normal pre-pregnancy size I would be anything from 9st 6lbs to 10st with a 23 inch waist and 20-21% body fat. Generally I think I look less heavy than I am - although maybe I have reverse body dysmorphia! 😂

5'7 and 10stone, late 50s. I could lose a few pounds as my shape has changed since menopause, but I'm fairly fit. I find it easier to lose weight now I'm not feeding a family.

I just don't get these threads. Everyone seems so tiny.

I'm 5ft 4 and 10 stone 6lbs.

I'm a size 10 on top and 12 on bottom. I'm very fit as I do martial arts, have done several belts. I run and cycle every week and do weights/core exercises. I won a triathlon this year.

So I think I am pretty muscular which might explain why despite my fitness and slimish physique I'm so much heavier than most women my height on this thread!

I think BMI is pretty good guideline unless you're quite tall or short, elite athlete or quite unusual body geometry (like no leg or extra extra short legs).

It's very rare that anyone posts "BMI is so crap. I know because I look so much better at BMI=16-17. I'd look like a walrus at BMI=18.5. That's how meaningless BMI is." If they do post that, folk (rightly) pile on them about denial.

BBC 'how fat are you' compared to postcode.

I rarely know my weight but probably my BMI is just about 21. 38-29-38 maybe. Uk Avg for my age group is BMI = 28.4. In my part of UK only 54% of women are overweight+, which is much trimmer % than rUk. Who knew?

I was a chubby teen & had an eating disorder.

The exercise section will have a different bias to general chat/ AIBU.

I'm 5ft 2, 9st BMI 23. I feel it if I'm exceeding 9st 3. I'm a pear shape so store my weight in my leg muscles bum, and since having DCs, around the CS overhang. My bust is small which tends to make me look generally smaller (unless I've had a good meal and ping to the 4m pg look )

In my county, 66% of adults are overweight/ obese, although it is more localised than that.

I wouldn't have posted my weight if it hadn't of been for my weight loss so yeah I imagine replies are skewed!

I recently read some stats on the BBC website where you put in your postcode to find out where people for your age are on the BMI scale. More than half of the people in my age group/demographic were overweight or obese. That doesn't seem to tally with the responses on here.

I'm 5ft 6 and 10st 1. Size 10 usually. Fit, but I'd like a few less pounds around my middle if I'm honest. My lowest weight after my first child (weird) was 8st 10. People said I was too thin and seemed worried. The NHS BMI calculator says I can be up to 11 stone and still be a healthy weight. So who knows what's best!

I do think it's easier to gain weight and not lose it again as you age, though.
