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?

I am 5’3. GP says I should be around 8.5 stone but I would be happy with the 9 stone I was when I got married. I’m now just on 10 stone and size 10 or 12 depending on where I shop (I’ve got a silly big bust though so I think that’s where my weight lies).

I'm 5'3" and nearly 10st. I wear 12-14 bottoms and 10-12 tops. Classic pear I guess! I like being nearer 9st.

5’ 4.5 so a bit taller but I’m currently 14 stone. A year ago I was 17st 4 so this is a vast improvement I’m a size 14/16 and looking to get back into my size 12 clothes, which I wore when I was 12 stone. I seem to have concrete bones as people never believe me that I was a size 12 at 12 stone

I was exercising a lot then though, I was very fit and toned.

Gosh I feel like a massive monster.

5ft 2 and I’m 12st 7.

I was 13st 7 at the start of the year.

Lightest I’ve ever been in adulthood is around 9st 7 but that was over 20 years ago.

If I could be under 11 I would be happy (but evidently still fat going by the rest of you on here!)

5’2” and 8 stone 3 when I was 12 weeks pregnant (I don’t weigh myself except for medical appointments). Currently 31+4 weeks and would rather not know my current weight!

5ft 3 and almost 11 stone. I’m 55 and can’t seem to shift it. Ideally I’d like to be 9 stone 10 but think that’s wishful thinking. Most of it is round my middle and stomach

5'5" and I weigh 14.10.

Healthy BMI (of 25) is 10.5 so I have a way to go! I'll get there though.

My best weight is dead on 10. If I go lower than 9.7 it doesn't suit me. I have broad shoulders and have muscly legs anyway.

I'm 5ft 4 and weigh 9 1/2 stone. This is some baby weight as I would normally be around 8 1/2 stone. For me it's the difference between a toned size 8-10 and a flabbier, less athletic 10-12.

5ft 5lb and 11st 3lb. I’d like to be about 10st 6lb and a size 10

5'4" 8 stone. Have lost a bit over lockdown through stress and money worries.

Agree with pps your build and where you carry weight varies from person to person.

To the poster weighing 5 stone ; hope you're ok and can recover soon from whatever has caused your weight loss

I’m 5,2 and I weight around 7 stone.

All the 1's - 11st11. Ideally would be 9st 7. I've no desire to be pin thin, just want to keep healthy and fit in case there is life after teenagers.

Weigh*

5 foot 3", at the start of the year I weight just over 9 stone but have developed poor eating habits and now weight 7 stone 8.

I much prefer it, love being size 8 again, and actually probably need to even drop to size 6 but haven't done yet. And I know I need to keep an eye on the BMI so I don't skip into 'underweight'. I’ve only got literally 2lb spare before that happens, but I don't think it will as I drink too much wine for that!

5ft 4 and 8 stone 4, currently breastfeeding 6 month old DS.

11 stone 2-3, down from 12 stone 6 around 6 months ago

Hourglass shape, size 14ish, 32GG boobs

I look better around 9 stone, or did

Ha! I’m 5’3” and 10st is my Slimming World target weight! I started at 12 st 7lbs, got down to 10st 7 but I’m currently 11st 10lbs. I’m apple shaped and currently look pregnant. Need to lose it ASAP.

On the other hand, I’m very fit and finished in the top 25% of women in the London Marathon whilst 2 stone overweight so not too worried about my health.

Don’t obsess about your weight to much OP it’s how you look not what you weigh. I’ve avoided the scales but before March I think I weighed around 71kg. I wear size 10/12 in clothes and I’m 5ft 3.

5.4'' and 8.4 stones.. A bit heavier than usual, normally 8.3

11 stone exactly. if like to loose a stone.

5ft3 and 8,3 stone...

I’m in my 40s with 4 children under 10. On average I’m a size 8 but can be a 6 or 10 too depending on brand...

I'm 5' 3" and weighing in at just over 11 stone BUT I'm very happy because I've lost a stone in lockdown. Pre kids I was about 9 and a half stone so my aim is to get back to that. At my thinnest I was 7 and a half stone but that was really hard to maintain. I'd love to get to 8 stone 3 as I loved being that weight in terms of how I looked but for now I'm focussing on reaching a healthy bmi. I am kind of an hourglass shape as my waist is 10" smaller than my hips but my c section overhang and mum tum definitely give me more of an apple vibe these days!

I wish I only had a 1lbs to lose

Eight and and a half stone ish. Size eight or size six depending on the brand.

I’m usually 9 stone but flex a couple of points up and down

Twice I’ve got up to nearly 10 stone, first time was when I was much younger and it suited me, second time was a couple of years ago and it didn’t - maybe I carried it differently - seemed to be just round my middle and on my face. That year I made a conscious decision to lose weight as it just made me feel crap with clothes tight etc (and I refused to buy another size up!). Took 3 months to get to 9.4 being careful with what I ate, drank and more exercise and then a few months to lose the last 4 pounds not being so careful
