5 ft 3, how much do you weigh?

[Jula332]

After years of avoiding the scales out of the fear I would slip back into having a weight complex, I braved it today when visiting my osteopath.

I'm 10 stone and stand at 5 ft 3. My dress size ranges from 10-12 depending where I shop.

I'm not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed as whilst I haven't been at all careful about dieting or maintaining, I've heard a few people say how being within 8 stone is the ideal for somebody my height.

I'm not obese but am a bit flabby in some places. I think I look nice in clothes.

If you are 5 ft 3 or close to, how much do you weigh?

14.5 stone. But then Im very fat! I was a good soze at 10 stone but I don't feel comfortable being too thin and have never gone under 9.5 as I start to look gaunt. My friend is 8.5 stone at 5ft 3 and is very slim. I think 9 to 10 is a good weight for our height.

Thank you for the reply

I developed something of an eating disorder after suffering from hypermesis years ago and not being able to eat, I've not a clue how much I weighed but I looked skeletal and very gaunt. I much prefer having some weight on me that's for sure.

I'm just under 8 stone. I wear size 8 clothes. My build is small and narrow. Are you wider, in terms of shoulders and such? We are all built differently.

10.5 stone - I am an apple shape and most of my weight is on my tummy - I usually wear size 12 clothes

I'm 5' 2" and about 9 stone. I've probably put on about 4lbs during lockdown.

I'm usually a size 10. Carry a bit of extra weight on my tummy. Feel like 8 1/2 stone is a good weight for my frame.

I'm about 10 1/2 stone. I'm quite solid & muscly, pear shaped. Never seemed to fluctuate much over the last twenty years in terms of absolute weight, rarely been below 9 1/2 stone.
My shape however does change quite a bit, depending on how much exercise I am getting.

I have broad shoulders and wide hips myself. Smallish bust.

Problem areas for me are my arms and legs.

I wouldn't mind losing a few lbs as I don't like the fact I have a mild case of bingo wings

I'm around 8st 10, I think I have a small frame and people often think I weigh considerably less than I do.
I'm unsure what size I am, an 8 I think but I don't like anything fitted so would go for a 10.

Currently 9st, having put on lockdown weight. I have narrow shoulders and a small frame, I look best around 8.5stone

I'm 5.4 and 9.5 stone. I have a belly still from pregnancy (ds is 18 months) but rest looks normal

9st6 usually, athletic frame. Currently 10st11 and 35w pregnant

I'm 8' 12 at the moment having put on weight in lockdown . My clothes are mostly size 8 (10 if vintage/old) and I'm usually 8' 5 to 8'9. Things still fit but pull unattractively on the bum and thighs!

I’m the same height and weight at 6 months post-natal. I have a bit of a tummy still, but feel ok. I have a small frame so would prefer to weigh less - 9 stone would be my ideal and I think 9-9.5 stones is realistic. But everyone is built differently!

I had a baby in 2018 then another in 2019 so I'm probably still carrying some excess from my DD as I haven't made a conscious effort to shape up (PND)

I'm planning to go to the gym as soon as the government opens them back up again.

53kg / 8 stone 3.

Except right now because I'm 27 weeks pregnant, so add on an extra 5kg!

8 stone 11. Most Comfortable at 8.6 but gave a large bust and butt! 🙄😳

10 stone, 5 foot 2, BMI is 25.7, size 12.

I have a bit of a belly but I also have strong thighs from bike riding and did weights at the gym pre covid so I must have some muscle somewhere!
I prob need to lose about half a stone.

I’m 5'4” and my weight has crept up to 10st 10lbs during lockdown.
At my fittest I have to find 'size 11' clothes but now am firmly in the size 12, medium range.

My boobs have got bigger!

I have reasonably muscular legs which combined with my bust is where most of my weight lives I think.

I’m just coming through what has been nearly 2 years of various injuries so I’m hoping to rectify this gain with a bit more exercise soon!

I was just over 10 stone before I got pregnant, had gestational diabetes and am now breastfeeding a 3.5mo so have dropped to about 9 stone 4. I wear size 8-10 on top and size 10-12 on the bottom.

Oh and if I were ever to get down to 8 stone at 5’4” I think I’d look ill. I really do find it interesting how people can carry weight so differently.

12:12 which makes me a size 14/16 and too big for my height! I am not comfortable with my size!

I need to lose a few stone but my excuse is I just had a baby (and keep eating crap....)

I think this also depends on age. I am this height. At 25 I was 8st4 ish and looked/felt great. I am nearer 45 now and a stone heavier. I look/feel perfectly reasonable but I would prefer to be 8’10-9st. I don’t think I would look or feel great at 8st4 like I was in my youth.

5' 3 and a little bit, so just over your height.
10 stone 6 lbs. Went up to 10 stone 9 lbs during lockdown and felt HORRIBLE!!

Best weight ever for me is 9 stones 10lbs (achieved by hard core weight training) anything less I look too skinny

11 stone, I look best at 10. I'm hourglass/pear shape, 50 yrs old.
I've never been lean.
My back is 32inches
My hips about 38. But I carry my weight in my legs and bum unfortunately. So I have to buy size 16 jeans, but have a tiny waist which is a bloody pita!

Im 5 ft 4 a little taller than you , im 8 & a half stone , trying to get back to 8 stone (Lock down weight) i honestly feel i look my best at 8 stone and i feel better about myself
