5 foot - how much do you weigh?

Rottie454 · 29/12/2018 20:39

Just curious to how much people weigh who are 5 foot?

OP posts:
hidinginthenightgarden · 29/12/2018 21:47

8 stone 10lbs.
Just lost a stone. I am surprised so many weigh so little! I thought the average would be around 8.5 stone.

MisstoMrs · 29/12/2018 21:48

5ft2 and 8.10 is my aim (I’m curvy) but can be up to 9.5

It definitely gets harder as you get older.

RandomMess · 29/12/2018 21:50

Too much!!

At 5' I think the healthy range is about 6st10 to 8st7 Sad

Helpmeltb · 29/12/2018 21:51

5ft 1in and 11st3 Blush

Put weight on when I went back on the pill and nothing seems to change it Sad. I'm probably the fittest I've been in 20 years, I'm definitely the most toned I've been since having dd1 11 years ago and really wish my weight reflected that.

5ft exactly and I’m 16 stone Blush something has to change sooner rather than later! Blush

OP I’m 5’4” so my weight isn’t probably of much interest to you but what I have found in the last 6/7 years is that I can go high in weight pretty easily (highest was 10st 12lb, recent highest was 10st 6lb) and I can lose it again and can get down to under 9st (123lb is about the lowest I seem to go no matter what I do) but I ALWAYS go back up to between 128-130lb. (9st 2lb- 9st 4lbs) 130lb is the highest I am comfortable with but in reality would like to be half a stone lighter but it just doesn’t stick. I do not know why.

Currently 131lb (or I was last week before the Christmas disordered eating began) and I want to get down to 126lb (9st) but I can guarantee I’ll go straight back up 2lb and then just sit there no matter what. You’re not alone!

MuddlingThroughLife · 29/12/2018 22:17

Just under 5' 1" and just over 10 stone. Size 12, sometimes a 14 because I don't like fitted clothes.

GoneFishingNC · 29/12/2018 22:27

5’1” and had just dieted down before Christmas face-stuffing time, had lost 6 lbs and got down to 10st.

This is the lightest I’ve been since before having DC2 - I know I’m still in the Overweight category and want to get to 9st 5lbs and then I’ll feel great.

The lightest I ever was pre kids (and much younger than I am now!) was 8 st 3lbs and I looked like a little girl, many said I looked too thin at that weight.

Wish I was a short person who was also naturally thin and as light as many on here seem to be!!

missmouse101 · 29/12/2018 22:32

Oh dear, about 12 and a half stone Sad

TulipsInbloom1 · 29/12/2018 22:34

5'2 and 13.5 stone. If it helps no one believes me, they think Im lighter. My poor knees can testify.

Ask me again in 12 months Grin

Christmasfairy07 · 29/12/2018 22:39

5ft 2 & just over 9 stone. I wouldn’t want to weigh much less as I’m in my 50s & think being too skinny can be a bit ageing.

weebarra · 29/12/2018 22:41

Oh god. 4ft 10 and 11 stone. Feel like a fucking weeble!

lis02 · 29/12/2018 22:46

My sister is 5ft, she varies between 8-9 stone. I'm 5ft4 and weigh 7.1 stone. Think it depends on your body type too tbh

HildaZelda · 29/12/2018 22:47

5'3" and 7 1/2 stone. Size 6-8.

Elphabaisnotwicked · 29/12/2018 22:47

Just under 5’1 and I hover at about 8 stone.. my sister is about 4’11 and is 6 stone.

tinyradish · 29/12/2018 22:51

Pregnant atm but my usual weight at 5ft1 is around 7stone10 to 7stone12 - quite muscular so can't get below that really.

Before exercise I used to sit around 7 & a half stone. Below that is too light for me.

LunaTheCat · 29/12/2018 22:56

Too scared to get on scales!
It is very hard if you are short because gain8ng a relatively small amount weight has such an effect on your appearance, clothes size.
I also have large boobs so double whammy!

blueskiespls · 29/12/2018 23:00

I'm 5ft 1. Weigh between 8 stone 6 and 8,12 depending..

I have a lot of muscle though. And weight lift for fun. Xmas Grin

RandomMess · 29/12/2018 23:01

Pre kids I was 6st 3 😢😢😢😢😢

purpleme12 · 29/12/2018 23:02

Bloody hell 6 stone is nothing

RandomMess · 29/12/2018 23:08

Still got pregnant despite contraceptives 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I have a tiny frame but probably need to be 6.5 stone although it's never going to happen now 🤣

Lozz22 · 29/12/2018 23:20

Too much! I used to be a nice slim 7st and then I got PCOS and doubled my weight. Now I weigh around 11st 13lbs possibly a bit more with all the crap I've stuffed in over the Xmas period.

kittenfun · 29/12/2018 23:24

I feel that I am too big!!
I am 5ft 1 I weigh 8st 9

shuthefrontdoor · 29/12/2018 23:25

5ft 1 and weigh 12 stone, have recently lost 2 stone though, could do with losing another 2 but not overly concerned about that at the minute

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 29/12/2018 23:28

I'm 5ft2 and 8 stone 4. Feels like the right weight, my face looks better at this weight, any lighter and I look drawn.
