Aibu to ask how much you weigh? (Women)

80kg, 5ft8. I train hard and am very solid / muscly even though a size 14. Overweight according to BMI.

5ft 3 and 7 stone 12. I do quite a lot of exercise but also eat a vast amount and drink too much alcohol. Don’t drink soft drinks though except water, tea and coffee. I’ve been around this weight for quite a few years although do go between 7 stone 7 and 8 stone.

I'm going to post my pre-pregnancy weight as I'm currently 40 weeks pregnant. 5'8 and 9st 10 (current pregnancy weight 12st 4 😥)

I'm 5ft 3 and weighed myself for the first time in ages this morning.

9stone 2pounds

It was very hard but once I sure results I wanted to continue.

PipGoesPop, I lost 3 stone I’m the first year, so I think that was just water weight really. Then I kind of gave up for a year. My son is 3 now. This year, I got so fed up with myself and not fitting into any of my clothes. I reduced what I was eating drastically for the first week, that seemed to shrink my stomach and then just ate when I was hungry, drank more water etc. I started exercising slight more also. I don’t think I’ll ever be 9st10 again. But I’m happy with how I look now. I just wish I could get rid of my mum tum!

Pre pregnancy I weighed 10stone (31 weeks pregnant now) and I'm 5'3.

Top end of a healthy Bmi seems to be where I am happiest and look best. I was also super fit and doing regular 15 mile runs to allow me to actually eat things, as otherwise, being short-ish, I find it really difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

I'm 5'4" and weigh 9st 2lb. On my 50th birthday I weighed 12st 8lb and decided something had to change, but I've managed to stay at my current weight for 14 years now. My motivation was Weight Watchers online. I'm not one for meetings but I love the app and find it really easy to track my food consumption and make healthier choices. You can also add in any exercise you do too. It's become a way of life now.

How ling did it take you to lose the weight EK? Even allowing for the weight of your baby/placenta and fluid that's a lot to lose. Was it hard, honestly?

I'm 5'5, 7 st 10 at the moment. No point comparing yourself to others though, we're all so different i.e I probably do eat too much chocolate and drink too much sugary juice and not properly exercise enough but I've never weighed more than 8 1/2 st outwith pregnancy.

I’m 5ft7” and I weigh 10st3. Before my son I was 9st9 and went up to 15st6 just before I gave birth. I covered my kitchen in photos of a slimmer me and then ate a lot less and did more exercise.

If you're sure if your calories and still aren't losing weight, get your thyroid checked too.

I won't talk weight but I've a BMI of 20.5. different strokes for different folks but two things two consider:
You may be eating more calories than you realize. My Fitness Pal app is a bit of a slog to use but helps you to better understand what you're eating.
Instead of cardio, try building more muscle. When you've higher muscle mass you burn more calories. I lose more weight when I hit the weights rather than the treadmill.

Everyone is so different though!
