5 foot - how much do you weigh?

[Rottie454]

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

I'm 5ft 1. Before Christmas I was exactly 9st, I know I've gained a few lbs from stuffing my face though! I'd love to be around 8st 10, I feel pretty good at that weight but I'm not going to beat myself up about it as I did weigh 13st 5 at one point.

5”2 and before Christmas I was 13st 9lb

5 foot exactly and around 7.5 stone - don't know exactly as can't remember when I last weighed myself - don't bother generally.

Have been within a few pounds of that weight all my adult life except when breastfeeding when went down to 6.5 stone - hated that as looked really scrawny and too thin. (Did extended breastfeeding for all my dcs.)

I do have a petite frame though so am in proportion, neither thin nor fat. Am massively untoned though - would like to do weights etc to get fit!

Out of interest, do other 5 foot nothing women also find it a complete pain to find clothes that fit? Even petite is too long, generally!

5 foot 1.massive boobs and curvy.happy like this

5ft and 10.2 stones. Planning to realistically lose another stone by July, possibly more.

@ch6543 yep everything is too long and out of proportion!

10 stone 4

I look my best at 8 stone. Last time I was there was Oct 2016.

Fluctuate too much. Am trying a new approach this year that focuses on being committed to having a loving relationship with my body.

4’ 11” and about 9 stone 8.
Size 12
I’m 47 and in line with being petimenopausal have found weight creeping on. Never been so heavy in my life. Overhaul required!!

This thread is really interesting. In my early twenties I was just under 8 stone and my mum thought I was ill, she was constantly begging me to see a doctor. After having my kids and gaining loads of weight I did SW and got down to just under 9 stone and felt amazing, I was a size 8 and looked good. It’s interesting how different people the same height can weigh such different amounts and presumably not all under 8 stoners look anorexic and not all over 10 stoners look obese (like I currently do). It doesn’t take much for me to go from looking good to looking fat - there is a window of less than a stone.

8 stone 12 pounds

I used to be 7 stone 3 pounds 2 years ago

Oh yes, I'm 45

5ft and just over 12 stone. Just seen photos from Christmas and am HORRIFIED. Something needs to change this year.

I’m just under 9 stone. I like to be around 8 stone 4 and when I go on holiday I aim for 8 stone before I go. I can’t get under 8 stone anymore.
Before kids I was around 7 and a half stone but I was also 24 then!

@ch8543 I have clothes altered: dresses, skirts, sleeves on coats and blazers shortened; dresses also adjusted so they fit my shorter upper body (so for example the neckline won't go too low; arm holes not gaping).

The Reiss shop in my city will do alterations, and I also found an independent clothes shop that can do it. Everything else goes to a seamstress. It's expensive but I tend to buy fewer clothes of (I like to think) good quality. Feels a lot better than wearing oversize clothes.

I've never been a 'healthy' weight at 5ft...even when I joined the army they had to fudge my numbers to get me in. I was incredibly fit & lean but the scales were tipping almost 10 stone which is officially overweight

It's a running joke in my family that I have lead lined bones not a useful metal...just a stupid soft and heavy one. Doctors always do a double take at my weight and make me weigh in front of them, they don't believe I'm telling them the right numbers!

Concentrating on your weight is less important than concentrating on your health. You know if you're eating right and exercising well and whether you are too big/too small for your body.

kittenfun your weight sounds about right, too thin and it can affect your face,i look better facially with a bit of weight on, i aim to be about 8-81/2 again after Christmas, i look gaunt if im much less
Luckily i find it easier to lose weight than put it on

@InAPreviousLife I can completely believe you, I find it fascinating how many people refuse to believe I am overweight. It's like they are chub blind, I've no muscle but have incredibly slim hips and I think that's what it is.

To get any sort of waist I need to be less than 8 stone and probably nearer 7! I know plenty of short woman that look amazing at 9 stone.

Bodies and weight are just weird

@RandomMess it's utterly weird. My sister is exactly the same size as me but I weigh 2 stone more than her. Glad I'm not the only one!

5ft 1in here and weigh far, far, far too much.

My goal weight is 10st

6 and a half stone, seeing a dietician in the new year as my Drs want me to put on weight.

I don’t actively diet at all no, however I have a naturally high metabolism and am built really lightly if that makes sense!

I spend most of my time running around after a 3 year old DS, horses, dogs and also work in a very physical job so that helps I think as I never get two seconds to sit down

I was much slimmer when I had young DC, then I returned to an office job...

I need to find my will power to stop comfort eating!

I'm 5'2 and currently 9 stone 6. I was 10 stone 5 and am maybe aiming for 9 stone.

I do have huge boobs (breast tissue not fat) and a lot of muscle from sports and the gym though. It's funny I look tiny from the front (narrow torso and hips) then when I turn to the side it's all boobs and bum and a pooch im getting rid of

4ft10 here

Between 8 and 9st. Have been as low as 7 but was too bony to be comfortable.

Have wide hip bones and big boobs though no matter how much I weigh

I'm 4ft 9 and weigh 9 stone, which makes me about a stone or two overweight?
