Do you weight less than 11stone, and are around 5’6” or less

[PaulHollywoodsSexGut]

If so what do you eat in a day?

I ask as I’ve got around 15kg to lose to get back to what my “target” weight should be.

Ps: this is not a thread about peddling diets, disordered eating etc, I’m just interested.

I'm just under 11 stone and 5'1. I eat low-fat pancakes (made with fat-free yoghurt not butter) for breakfast with fat-free yoghurt and blueberries then a takeaway coffee. Lunch will be a ham or cheese sandwich with a packet of crisps, piece of fruit and a low-fat chocolate bar. Dinner is usually something like tuna and couscous with a salad, or maybe one a week or so a pie and chips or a pizza. Snacks are numerous and my downfall: several "diet" chocolate bars, wine, homemade cake, takeaway coffee... I'm not losing any weight! But I reckon I would if I cut down on snacks and had fruit if I absolutely needed it. My actual meals aren't too bad, I don't think!

I must add I'm breastfeeding. So not putting anything on. Just not losing either.

I was exactly 11 stone and 5ft5ish, so v similar to what you’re asking. I’m not around 12 stone and wanting to get back down.
I used to eat just toast for breakfast with butter, lunch would be a salad, mid afternoon snack of a packet of crisps or something, usually a banana every day as well. For tea I would have something fairly hearty.
I now eat far too many lunches out which I think is how I’ve put on the weight.

Normal food I think? Sorry I don’t mean to be glib but that’s not thin, just normal so I don’t think most people would be dieting on it? Yesterday I had:

B: toast x2 with peanut butter, cappuccino
Snack: Cappuccino
Lunch- tuna aNd sweet corn sandwich, wotsits, water
Drinks-2 Prosecco (party)
Dinner- some bread and hummus, feta salad, slice chocolate bomb cake and pot earl grey. (Restaurant)

However I am about to go on a diet as had a baby a month ago. I’m usually 9 stone, think I’m closer to 10 now.

5’6” and I don’t weigh myself regularly but never go above 9 stone and am usually about 120lbs/ just over 8 and a half stone.

I’m small busted which makes a big difference to your weight.

I am in my fifties so eat much less than a younger woman. I eat whatever I want but in small portions so that I don’t ever deny myself anything.

About a million years ago, (preDC) I was 9st 7lbs at 5'6"and I ate 3 full meals a day, crisps, chocolate etc if I fancied it. Rarely drank alcohol as dp at the time worked night shifts and I wouldn't drink alone.

Post-DC I'm a lot heavier but eat far less plus with a dp who loves cheese and biscuits while watching tv it's more difficult to say no.

I know I need to up my exercise and cut carbs, that's how I've always lost weight but when someone's waving a cracker with blue cheese in my direction my resolve runs away!

I'm 5ft6 and weigh 9 st 7. I'd been 10 st for a long time but recently lost half a stone on SW. I'm not a diet person at all but I really like SW because I don't feel I'm missing out on anything. Im absolutely not promoting a diet here but just what's worked for me lately.

I'm 5"2 and 8st 11. I normally only have two meals a day due to work breaks. For breakfast I normally have porridge made up with water and a banana, crumpets/brown toast with a small amount of butter and low fat Greek yoghurt with frozen berries or a three egg omelette with cheese, some tomatoes and cucumber and a slice of brown bread and butter. For dinner I have a variety of things, sometimes an omelette if I haven't had one for breakfast, maybe pasta and sauce and a sausage. I quite often will have chicken thighs or sausages and then fill my plate with veg like green beans, broccoli and cauliflower. I'll sometimes have a few potatoes with this. I snack on dark chocolate, popcorn, fruit like berries and peaches and apples, raw veg like carrots and sugar snap peas, crumpets or toast or a yoghurt. I calorie count everything barring occasions such as birthdays, holidays and Christmas so if I fancy something I will have it but will just adjust the rest of my day to fit. I do have a very physical job though and run three times a week. Over the last year and a half I've lost almost 3st through purely counting my calories and have increased my calories recently as I am at a good weight for my build and height

I’m about 5’5 and currently weigh around 10 stone which is half a stone heavier than I prefer.

I have porridge for breakfast generally a roll with cheese or meat for lunch with crisps. Tea depends really. Sometimes it’s a fishfinger sandwich or beans on toast other times it can be toad in the hole or casserole or pasta.

I often eat cake and biscuits too.

I’m nearly 50 generous of boob and fairly active.

9 stone six and 5ft 4- I don't eat breakfast, lunch is a snack like a bag of crisps and tea can be anything but a sandwich or fish fingers, pasta etc.

Tomorrow for work I'll have

40g oats made into porridge with milk
Banana
Tuna salad
Maybe some less than 100 calorie crisps
Fruit
Curry and rice
Skinny whip or fibre one snack

If I'm not at work I'll have

Eggs in some form
Soup and bagel or ryvita
Anything for tea really, chilli, spag bol, curry, jacket spud, salmon rice and veg, pizza made from a tortilla base. Plenty to choose from so you don't feel you're missing out.

On the weekends I'll have treats like a take away or meal out.

I’m 5ft 7ins and weigh 9st 10lb. I’d say this is my natural weight.

I have a thick slice of home baked bread with butter or peanut butter and a full fat latte for breakfast (also home made).

Another full fat latte later in the morning.

Soup with some kind of beans, made with lots of olive oil. Or sardines on toast with salad. Or a cheese sandwich with tomatoes.

Usually an apple about 4pm, a big handful of crisps around 6pm.

Dinner a range of normal things, pasta, noodle soups, quiche, sometimes roast chicken with a tomatoey sauce.

Always a glass of red wine, usually a few squares of chocolate in the evening.

I don’t restrict anything and never eat low-fat or diet food. But I am mindful of portions and rarely eat sweet stuff (I might have a proper pudding once a month, never eat biscuits or chocolate bars etc.)

I have been thinner and could be 9st if I could be bothered to be a bit stricter.

Btw I’m over 40 and don’t do much exercise!

I’m 5’5” and weight 9st. I am 52

I have two weetabix with semi skimmed milk, a banana and an activia yoghurt for breakfast. Lunch, salad with mayo, an apple, a chocolate like wispa or twirl.
Dinner, meat, potatoes, 2 veg. Often a sauce with cream in it. Sometimes, spag bol or chilli n rice.

In between meals I have maybe two cups of decaf tea, and maybe 4-5 dark choc biscuits.

I walk my dogs and ride my horse most days. Horse hobby also involves physical work, like muckingout etc.

I have an office job.

Yes i am 5ft 1 and weigh 9st 3
I need to lose weight my bum and thighs are huge!!
I have cereal for breakfast
No snack
X4 ryvita original slices for lunch x2 with just butter x2 with butter and cheese
Strawberry muller corner
X2 penguins

Tea - pasta or fishfingers

What's the point of people replying who are nowhere near 5'6?

If you are 5'1 or 5'11 or whatever, you're a very different size from the OP, right?

I'm 5'5 and weigh just under 11 stone on a good day. On a representative day it's something like two scrambled eggs, coffee, maybe a banana, something like pasta and sauce or bulgar wheat salad or beans on toast for lunch (I've got a toddler), then maybe a slice of cake/bit of fruit mid-afternoon, then we eat veggie about 4-5 days a week (so maybe roast veg with halloumi); the other days it'd be something like sausage bake or salmon with veg. Don't generally eat carbs with dinner unless I fancy them, not as a diet thing, just preference. I usually have a glass or two of wine (empty calories, I know).

I'd like to lose some, but I get really shattered if I eat less, and I do think I burn off quite a lot running after a small terror!

I'm 5'6 (closer to 5'5 tbf)
I looked massive at 11st and managed to lose 3 stone to my ideal weight in a year.
Used myfitnesspal as I was awful for snacking and not taking into account what I was actually eating in a day.
My day would go something like this
B: Coffee w/ 2tsp sugar and whole milk.
S: 1 medium mango
L: egg mayo sandwich (1 egg, FF mayo, White bread)
S: handful pistachios or similar nut
D: chicken breast fillet w/peri peri marinade, sweet potato fries, asparagus and salad
P: sometimes nothing or maybe a krispy kreme donut.

But the main contributing factor to my weight loss was I was walking ALOT plus 20mins on my cross trainer daily, every day exceeding 15,000 steps + xtrainer.

Scrambled egg and spinach or rye toast with whole earth peanut butter for breakfast

Oatcakes and goats cheese or overnight oats with berries for lunch

Dinners are omelettes, stirfrys, salads, risottos, meatballs and pasta etc

I eat a tonne of fruit throughout the day along with broghies, crackers and chicken pieces as snacks.

And on bad days family size chocolate bars too 🙈🙈

I'm 5"6 and currently 10'2. Trying to get back under 10 but not dieting. Just bring a bit more active and moderating portion size.

Today I had peanut butter on a slice of sourdough toast
A bowl of strawberries
A few Sensations nuts
Ham and cheese on seeded bread with a few crisps and cherry toms
About 5 chocolate buttons
A cheese straw
A homemade beef/pork mix hamburger with corn on the cob

That's a more bread heavy day than usual. I will typically only have a slice at breakfast. The cheese straw is a once a week treat. I do have chocolate or cake or crisps most days but in limited amounts. I don't drink my calories - I drink black coffee or water 90% of the time. (The 10% is alcohol and the occasional fizzy drink).

I’m 11 stone and 5.5. I’m one and a half stone overweight. I’ve been watching what I ate for the past couple of weeks.
Nothing for breakfast (can’t stomach it).
Jacket for lunch.
Salmon salad for tea.
Snacking on seasonal fruit.
Will have a couple of
Go on the treadmill every other day.
Clothes do feel better after couple of weeks.

I’m 5ft 7 and weigh 10 stone.
I have porridge for breakfast with some fruit- usually an orange and a banana. Sandwich and crisps with fruit for lunch, dinner is usually chicken with loads of veg and sweet potato mash, or pasta, or curry with rice, steak fajitas, salad. Boring midweek meals really. We have at least one takeaway a week.
I eat chocolate most evenings, so I used to be much slimmer (8st 7 in September) and I’ve also stopped breastfeeding which kept my weight down despite eating like a pig.
I walk 4 miles a day, but sit down all day at work. I know I could lose weight by cutting out the takeaway and the chocolate.
Bulking out meals with loads of steamed veg has helped us.
At my heaviest I was around 12 and a half stone. My partner was 16 stone and has lost 4 stone in the last few years but he’s a lot stricter than I am, he won’t eat chocolate and he has a protein shake for lunch - no food

Couple of g and ts!

I'm 10 st 5 and 5'7".

Breakfast: Protein shake (half water/half almond milk) with half a banana and a cup of spinach.

Morning snack: Slice of toast

Lunch: 2 poached eggs on a slice of toast, 3 slices of turkey bacon, cheese on top of eggs and 1 cup of mixed salad. Turmeric and black pepper sprinkled on eggs too.

Afternoon snack:
Half a banana or a cup of other fruit like clementines or grapes

Dinner: varies but usually something with a cup of veggies or salad. Mushrooms, onions and peppers is my favourite combo. I'll usually have it with a tin of mackerel/salmon/chicken.

I also drink around 2L of water everyday (or try to).

All in all comes to an average of about 1600 cals. I also workout with weight 4 days a week/40 mins max and that keeps me in shape very well.

I'm 69 kg and 166cm (I think that's just under 11 stones & 5' 6" in old-fashioned measurements)

I do one very intense training session per week in the gym, + a PIlates, + 2 Pump classes, plus walk everywhere (so around 15,000 steps per day).

I count calories via my FitBit app. It's the only way - I've lost around 12 kg over the last year, fairly painlessly.

I keep away from white carbs - so don't eat pasta, pizza, rice, or white bread (or maybe only once a week for a treat).

Breakfast: I eat either raw oats with skim milk, or a 2 egg omelette with 2 tomatoes and 3 or 4 lumps of frozen spinach + about 20g of cheese

Lunch is usually a lot (500g) of pretty solid soup - I love the Sainsbury's Dahl soup, or the Moroccan soup with chickpeas.

Supper is stuff like a grilled chicken breast with salad, lots of tomatoes & grilled peppers (I'll eat 2 or 3 tomatoes and at least 2 peppers) or a slab of salmon fillet plus loads of broccoli & grilled tomatoes, or around say 70g of steak, griddled, with peppers & tomatoes, or in a salad with a finely sliced mini gem lettuce to soak up the steak juices.

Treats are the Fage 0% fat yoghurt with honey, and the best cappucino in the town (from the gym I go to).

Snacks: avocado, yoghurt, berries, or eating 4 small meals a day, so not snacks really.

One day a week is a "cheat day" and I drink wine maybe 4 nights a week.

As you can see, I eat a lot of vegetables and lean protein. I just don't keep sugary or snacky stuff in the house. I cook from scratch every day, but you could batch cook a whole lot of chicken breasts, for example. I tend to buy frozen spinach (the whole leaf from Iceland) and broccoli. It's then easy to put in a steamer while you grill the fish or meat.

I’m 5’5 and weigh about 8 and three quarters. I’m in my 50s. I just eat normally, never been on a diet and don’t do much exercise. I would normally have a bar of chocolate like a Crunchie a few days a week. I don’t drink much alcohol, though, hardly ever.
