I know this has been done to death and not trying to offend anyone so please don’t post if you don’t want to share: what is your height and weight? And most importantly, how do you FEEL about it?

I’ve posted this recently but to start I’m 5ft5 and around 9- 9 1/2 stone. I feel wobbly as ‘mummsy’ and under-confident 🥺

5ft 1 in
51kg
Have lost 19kg in 3 months due to illness. Don't really want to drop much more but food doesn't really interest me at the moment. It's nice fitting into my summer clothes though.

5'3, and 9 stone 10. I'm happy at this weight, I was 12 stone 3 before Christmas, and decided to start running. I wear size 10-12.

I am 5ft 2 and I weigh 9st 12lbs still got some weight to loose to reach my goal but I'm proud of my achievements as in February I was 12st 6.

5'8" 16 stone 7ibs

I feel great 👍🏻

SingingSands · 02/06/2019 21:05

5'4" - 10 stone - age 40

I feel great. I feel strong. I run and cycle a lot.
I'm curvy, have a great bum and legs and my boobs look great (in a bra Grin).

Undressed I look soft around the middle. I have a squishy belly, after having two large babies. I hated my stomach for about 10 years but now I've made peace with myself. Yes, I will wear my bikini on the beach!

Women are beautiful, no matter their shape. The packaging does not define the content!

6ft and 13 stone. I’d like to drop 2 stone but can’t stop drinking wine

I’m 6’ & 14st 7 - I cant stop drinking wine either Grin I’m 68 now, most of the excess is round my middle & I don’t exercise at all much

Ideally I’d probably be 12-13 stone but realistically it’s not going to happen

165cm/ 5 ft 5
45kg
I feel awful. i've had an eating disorder since my teens (mid 30s now) and weight has been 35-52kg since then. Been about this for a decade, had two dc in that time, went up to high 50s kg in pregnancy but dropped back to safe weight quickly. . Below about 43kg I become completely eating disordered and can't 'live', above about 47kg I feel vast and wobbly and terrible and can't 'live'. The midrange is bearable, although miserable, as I'm stuck between wanting to lose and hating the illness. I have ,managed to have a family and job though.

Please folks - don't go down this path. NOTHING is worth this struggle! I wish more thsn anything I could be my supposed 'healthy' BMI 19-20, which is 50-54kg I think and not feel so appalling, but it seems to evade me.

Passthecake30 · 02/06/2019 21:08

6ft, 10st2. I'd like to have more deifinition but as much as I try it never works! I'm ok with my weight, anymore and I get love handles/bloated belly.

emelsie · 02/06/2019 21:11

I'm 5 foot 8 and weigh bang on 11 stone ,

My lowest weight has been 9 stone but that was very hard to maintain , working out (1 hour including weights) everyday plus being far too restrictive with my diet for me personally to maintain . I'm happiest at around 10 stone.

Currently breastfeeding my 6 month old DD and it makes me ravenous , the reason I'm a stone heavier than I would like.

bibbidybob · 02/06/2019 21:12

I'm 5ft 5 and weigh between 8 stone 10 and 9 stone.

I'm 46 and addicted to the scales. I have been all my life. I weigh myself every single day and wish I could stop! During my cycle my weight fluctuates by 4 pounds. I'm currently at the 9 stone phase which I hate.

Walnutwhipster · 02/06/2019 21:13

5'3" 8st 10lb . Lots of wobbly bits.

littlemisscynical · 02/06/2019 21:14

5 foot 3 and around 9 stone. I feel great. I look way too thin anything below 8.5 stone.

AxCap · 02/06/2019 21:16

5'2" and about 8 stone.
Feel good-ish which is pretty good for me as I tend to be down on myself. Thought I'd be happier below 8 but can't get there now without losing muscle which I don't want to do.

thecatneuterer · 02/06/2019 21:17

5 ft 5 and between 7st 13 and 8st 1 (no scales in the house). I feel smug good.

kidsmakesomuchwashing · 02/06/2019 21:20

I'm 5ft 10 and 75kg (currently 5 weeks post second child born), I want to be back to my usual weight of 65kg - my clothes all feel too tight but not tight enough to buy new ones.

IStillMissBlockbuster · 02/06/2019 21:20

Thisnamechanger Why do you feel grim?

I am 5 foot 9.5 and 10 st 11. I am feeling pudgy, am low carbing, aiming for 10-10.5.

tomtom1999xx · 02/06/2019 21:21

5’ 6 & 11stone.
Need to lose about a stone to get to where I want to be, but if I start going under 10 stone people start asking me if I’m unwell & look really concerned. Hmm
I’m obviously too old now to be thin. Grin

Montsti · 02/06/2019 21:24

I’m 5ft 3 and about 8.25 stone...I’m happy with my weight but could do with toning my tummy and arms...4 c sections in 8 years has taken it’s toll...

Jemineye · 02/06/2019 21:26

Thisnamechanger sorry you feel grim at 5'10 9s2. Hoping you don't feel overweight at that weight when it's officially classed as underweight. 🙁 Reading some of these posts makes me worry so much about my DDs and body image etc.

Pinkarsedfly · 02/06/2019 21:26

5ft 7 and 13st 4.

On one level I hate it.

On another - I run 5k three times a week, do yoga most days, walk 10K steps every day, have a husband who can’t get enough of me, am pescatarian and don’t eat gluten.

I don’t know what the fuck else I’m expected to do, tbh.

tashakg89 · 02/06/2019 21:26

I'm 5 foot ( and a quarter) and 8.8 stone and I feel
Chunky! it's not fair small
People don't get to eat as much as taller people :(

Crunchymum · 02/06/2019 21:30

5ft 1in

13st 6lbs (weighed this afternoon) and utterly despise myself.

Its not just being fat that I hate about myself, it's the cycle that keeps me fat (comfort / binge eat as I hate myself so much, hate myself because I comfort / binge eat) and the hatred I have for myself pours out of me so I'm not nice to be around ask my poor DP

Positives are:

  • I'm now medicated for my arthritis (which had me off my feet for 6 months last year)
  • I'm about to begin CBT and we'll look at my emotional eating
  • I'm so fucked off with being such a fat cunt that I really feel my mindset changing and hope I'm on the brink of a huge lifestyle change.

5'5, 132 lbs.

Feel pretty good.

Hard working keeping at this weight but totally worth it.

managedmis · 02/06/2019 21:37

Loads of support on the weigh loss threads, crunchy, when you need us!

Lilac3 · 02/06/2019 21:38

I'm 5ft 3 and was 9 stone 3 pounds on Friday morning.
I've eaten so much all weekend, that I'd expect to weigh 3 or 4 pounds heavier tomorrow morning.

9 stone is my ideal weight.
